Moral gut feeling. When you understand copyright (and it works for us as well), then you get a feeling when something might not be legal / kosher / could become a right royal pita. If you sense a red flag, ask a couple of questions. If the client is legit, then press go. But blindly saying sure...

His email and signature signature was lead animator at xyza.com, coupled with the phone call, I knew we were in the clear. We take copyright seriously, and to be honest would rather turn down the sorts of clients who would nickle and dime.

Had a phone call a few years ago asking if we could do a handful of 40x60" high quality prints from a movie screen shot. Said no on a couple of grounds: 1, quality would be poor. 2, it would be copyright infringement. Without skipping a beat, guy on the other end asks what size file should be...

Photo prints up to 44" wide, I make my way down the corridors. Works for prints up to 80" long (I'm only 5'10). Winds one of my colleagues up, as I'm making the place untidy, until I walk down behind them counting £200, £400, £600...

Outside of a well colour managed workflow, then depending on the scale of your samples, a normal filing cabinet. If the samples need to be bigger, there are suspension racks comercially available for architectural plans. These are designed to hold lots of sheets in a dense space, but would...

I wish I'd read this (and other examples of) advice years ago when we would get random cyan trails and ink drops from our old Canon 8300 - always in runs of horribly expensive canvas or cotton rag media. Dealer couldn't suggest solution, and we needed a fix fast, so started a lease on a newer...

Recycled sneakers, yes.

Also not sign related, https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/12/paratrooper-falls-through-roof-california - guy chose the right place to land. Yoga / exercise mats tend to be soft and grippy (so I'm told)

On the flip side of this, imagine dropping 30K on a printer and not picking up a half ways decent decent laminator...

Autodesk - the software that offers financing!

X-rite i1 Pro 3 Publish. Create printer profiles with media and laminate applied, so laminate does not shift colours. Very simple to use (though a few of the options are vague in what they do), and in conjunction with with a well calibrated screen, takes a lot of the guess work out of production.

I can't imagine how a 35' sheet arrives other than on a roll, but I'd want it to be lined up true on the roll. Edit the design to put in registration marks, diamonds or similar, so that you can break the design into handlable sections - say seven parts by five foot, then use the manual reg marks...

That'd be the £400,000 Wolf Olins design. Very proud of it they were too.

I'll go with on the other hand, have a catastrophic print head failure, and leave him hanging. Too many messages, too quickly for him to be a rational customer.

Apply the facemount adhesive to the banners, like any other lamination. Then take out the windows, run them through the laminator while applying the banner, just like to any other substrate. To help the adhesive cure, microwave for 30 seconds (remember, don't have any metal eyelets in the...

I should say that I have a javelin, as well as a Big Purple Ruler, and wouldn't go down that route, if precision were required. Just for ripping down. OK, suggestion firmly retracted. Buy once, buy good.

My workspace has strips of 10mm wide self adhesive magnetic tape on all the machines; backed razor blades on every printer, as well as around the laminator. 10mm is just wide enough that the blade isn't stood proud. I will have a look at the ST in the morning - a little bit of vhb or even velcro...

Clever. I'll have a look next week to see if there is similar in HS. If I can't find it, would you mind sharing? Would be good to start my migration to modern OS—old kit is starting to really groan with modern files (damn photographers, and their 100MP cameras...), as well as the demands of...

Recently tried using an ipad with a pen, but kept getting frustrated by the lack of modifier keys—too used to using a wacom with my left hand resting over the keyboard. Then tried it using sidecar, and suddenly on the mac screen, had all the palletes I wanted, as well as the modifier keys. Was...

That looks very much like a Keencut BigBench with an old style Javelin cutter. Very precise. I keep meaning to get a new top for ours with T-slots cut perpindicular to the cutting bar. DeadDoc, That's like a baby SteelTrak, perhaps without the ACM cutter. The 250cm version will do 8x4's. Those...
