EB Garamond? On Adobe Fonts and Google Fonts.

If using Illustrator, you can Select>Same>Stroke Color to select all of each color at a time.

I used to experience this at a previous shop and got into the habit of marking the edges of the vinyl (small tick marks) parallel with the printed reg marks. That just helped me easily line up the vinyl by using the grooves on the plotter. I got pretty good at putting the marks right under the...

Plastic razor blades and a 3M eraser wheel have always served me well for things like this. Use a blade to start the removal and after you have a few inches lifted, use a cardboard tube to roll off the rest of the decal. Then you can use the eraser wheel to get off the remaining adhesive. If...

Ditto. It's great to have your knowledge and experience on the forum. Welcome!

Replying so I can keep an eye on this discussion. This question is timely for me. Although I'm running an internal shop where the sales figures aren't applicable - the time factor / focus vs. expansion question sure is. I was the first person with sign experience hired to run this shop and I...

There's also smooth / ultrasmooth coro. Vendors call it different things. It still has flutes, but its smoother. https://www.grimco.com/catalog/products/inteprocorrugatedplasticpanelsultrasmooth

One person internal shop here. Our city almost entirely revolves around tourism as well, and the drop in attendance has shuttered a few local mainstays. Our company did a reorg and made some other cost-saving changes. But the shop workload has steadily increased all year. It's only my second...

Conduit straps:

Looks like you can gain additional cutter support with one of the Flexi upgrades available for HP: https://www.thinksai.com/hplatex/

Is this is a paid training situation? Or more like a suggested reading type thing? I pity the fool that asks for free work from a pre-employee...

With only a few a month I'd just purchase them from someone already equipped to make them and then resell to your customer. Otherwise, maybe a desktop laser engraver?

Did you stop the roller during lamination? I get marks like those if I have to stop the roller.

This. It's not that customers are the enemy or that we don't want to help. It's because it pushes everything else back - customers that had it together, that ordered two weeks ago, that have waited through the permitting process - they all get bumped because someone else can't plan their...

What about a synthetic paper? https://nekoosa.com/products/synaps-om https://yupousa.com/what-is-yupo/yupo-grades/yupoilluminate/

https://www.standoffsystems.com/products/wire-systems/ Gyford Systems also has similar products. I've installed these before in hospitals and fancy corporate lobbies, but always as a permanent, decorative or screening element. Not sure how they'd work as a changeable type system. Maybe you...

Same. Exterior latex with Avery 950 series has worked great for us.

https://www.sunbritetv.com/ At a previous shop we used Sunbrite displays fitted into custom "cabinets" as Ron mentions above. Can't remember what the software was called - but it was installed on a central computer and then pushed to the various displays which were on the same network.

I agree with Wild West. I prefer to stay a version or two behind. Still get security updates and stay relatively safe, but also allow time for the brand new flaws to be fixed. At home, we finally just got rid of our 2012 (!) mac mini only because it could no longer run an up-to-date browser. A...

I have similarly been looking for a solution to help me hang heavy signs from scroll brackets by myself. I was first looking into tree guys and how they use ropes to raise and lower heavy branches, but then I learned about this new electric hoist from Milwaukee...
