That's the image, and do read the notes, they help you see what you are looking at. Also quite useful to check that your monitor isn't showing you false promises.

It was the Drytac Facemount - still the best optically clear that I've found. We don't use much of it these days, as it has become monstrously expensive. Our main area of business is photographic, and we're seeing a big rise in film usage, particularly with the younger photographers. It seems...

Around a decade ago we we had shortages and price hikes in optically clear mounting film. Manufacturer's rep said it was down to the increase in production of flat screen televisions; I thought BS. If you've shot film, and wondered how it was made, this (LONG) video may be interesting. Of...

Every now and then, the EFI rip will use whatever god awful font was last (or one before last) used in illustrator, only for the job info footer ticket. Some fonts really look like $4!t at 6pt. But this is driven from a mac, so can't be badoutsideforces.

College I went to, there were staff toilets adjacent to the student toilets. On the wall of one student stall the grafitti developed over time: Those who can do Those who can't teach Those who can't teach lecture Those who can't lecture, lecture at XXXXXXXX The janitors knew the staff never...

At least the stone was carried down the mountain. I'm seeing a lot of requests for green materials, have various coloured vinyls that aren't PVC, and won't emit chlorine when incinerated. Elliot will be flying in to confirm that they look OK. I'm on the green mid of the spectrum, want to leave...

They've been running an 80K machine for a fair few years, so I figure back outsourcing is long and gone, and they're showing a good attitude :)

That looks like a pretty light weight machine. Contact John or Cathy at InkJetMall https://shop.inkjetmall.com/UV45. They've just changed their distribution supplier, but seem to be running smoothly. They can tell you what machines will take their inks, no BS, honest knowledgable answers. I...

Pauly, thank you. When I started at my current place (15 years ago), everything was done on Excel sheets, or printed sheets, with (kid you not) red ledger books. Quotes and invoices written from scratch (occasionaly from template), and calculators on every desk. I moved here from a commercial...

When we go beyond the U axis, do we get i & j? I rather like this font, and it is subtly cheaper than H Now.

You've got pictures - make a portfolio. Something like this is sometimes better than a binder https://www.amazon.com/Print-File-Clamshell-Portfolio-11-25x14-25x2/dp/B0010CMXZ2 for a couple of reasons. You can throw in new prints whenever you feel like it. If you're having a meeting at your...

Years ago, I managed a photographic studio - advertising, product, designers work. Had one client, an ad agency around the corner, based in an old bank. They had a guy who I'll call Big Al. Used to do all the briefs for shoots as sketches, or water colours, or biro scribbles. The old school...

Just started making a few banners for a gallery, and it is kinda fun. Dumb question: assuming you're not fitting them, what instructions do you give the customer on fixing them? I can just imagine the havoc of a poorly fitted banner, laden with chain descending from a highway bridge, heading...

You could try something like canvastex - not going to get you that lovely debossed text, but not far off in appearance. UV protection, no ink migration and reasonably scuff resistant. I don't know whether it, or similar will work with other than aqueous inks.

I've been watching too much engineering pron recently, that almost made sense. I don't have a welder, or metal decent metal cutting facilities, but would Scotch tape work? And, where can I get his tape dispenser from? I've got a poster from gemini with about 40 of the standard fonts. 90% of...

There was (is) a quirk in Photoshop that set the default for image size to pixels/cm, so persons would send me ditmap files to print 6.5 times too large. Recent show, one of the artists confused output dimensions, cm rather than mm. Sent me a set of 21GB 16bit files. For 8x10" prints...

Kind of Dr Strangelove meets monsters' Inc. Pablo Ferro had seriously cool typographical skills, and just realised he did the titles for Stop Making Sense. Not great for a billboard at 65mph.

Sounds less expensive than the reputable least expensive dentist.

If you've told them when you sold it to them (or someone else sold it to them) that it is a short term banner, then this isn't a support call, it's a sales opportunity. Catch me on a quiet 5-10 minutes, I'll give support; you want half an hour (or three) of my time to make something work, then...

We're currently $7.66 per gallon for diesel, $7.35 for unleaded here in the UK. We've had 5-15% per quarter rises on printing materials for the last nearly three years. And over the last couple of years we've been seeing additional rises on the same materials your being hit with. Very different...
