Ever wrap a VW Beetle? Roughly same square footage as a Prius or Focus, vastly different installation challenges. We get calls all the time from people wanting a quote sight unseen and usually the ones who resist sending photos or stopping by so we can look are the ones that have challenging...

I'm not sure even a large RV storage canopy type structure with additional material draped over it would hold enough heat to make it work if the temperature is below freezing. Plus, what kind of fumes would heaters that large be throwing off and possibly asphyxiating you and your co-workers?

I'm never surprised to hear anything about humans ignoring their own health and welfare, financial security and longevity in order to not embrace change or a less toxic lifestyle. Old habits die hard and if someone can kick the can down the road to another generation to deal with, so be it...

It looks really similar to your own logo and the primary font used for the name is not a good choice. Its too narrow, too widely spaced with too many similar characters that can be confused for each other.

Rapid Remover.

I'm running some full sheet 18"x24"s right now and this is how we do it. We create two 48"x96" files in Illustrator (or whatever layout program you use) They each have 10 of the panels copied and pasted on them accurately butted up to each other. SIDE A file has a .25 point light grey...

Let's not let our local governments off the hook by presuming most are too tough on us all. Many depending on their budgets and political leanings will overlook a lot to appear "business friendly". Nevermind that nothing dampens a business climate and screams amateur hour than a town full of...

No please stop! I'm trying to enjoy a wholesome, healthy breakfast.

I would qualify your statement with making sure that people are aware that there are environmental graphic designers whose entire discipline is based on signage and wayfinding design. Having worked in that discipline for many years, I can attest to the level of attention to detail and commitment...

I simply can't agree more with the value and durability that Mike Steven's contributions have made to the betterment of our craft. I'd add the career long contributions that my long time friend and early mentor Bob Behounek has made as well. These are two giants of our craft who as actual...

Isn't a magazine cover layout a defined space occupied with some copy and other graphical elements? How about a multi=page brochure? What about a series of webpages linked together to create a "website"? All contain blocks of copy, possibly imagery, etc. and the process of assembling them...

We took a similar path and in my case, I had the added benefit of working at the largest billboard company in the world for my first five years. Thankfully, they fully subscribed to, invested in and demanded its apprentices complete every minute of the apprenticeship program before being granted...

I recently had nearly an identical experience but with just some manifolds. By the time they arrived, the ones I ordered from elsewhere had already arrived, been installed and we were up and running for two days when they finally showed up. They are super nice, have a great rewards program and...

Are your cutlines on the upper most layer? Is your swatch named CutContour? Was it saved as a Spot Color? Is the line .25 points with a 1 limit? If saving as an .eps, did you select "high resolution print" in the secondary dialogue box that pops up?

My only caution on using an oily substance is that is a step that the customer might use to get in and out of the truck. Rubbing it in fully and making it sure we're not creating a slip hazard once if gets a little wet is important.

First, we need to train our employees to care for our client's vehicles as they would their own. Second, the paint or coating was already failing on that step bar as evidenced in the photo. You can see the hairline cracks and chips in it. Regardless, you will need to offer some kind of...

Thanks Jon, do you own an ION and if so, do you do your own maintenance beyond the basic cleanings and lubrications?

We've started seeing these faint stripes running about 30"-36" up on a 4'x8' sheet on our ION Solara as well as what look like encoder strip errors at the same point on prints a little while ago. We know about the banding and its because one of our Cyan heads is failing and we're just waiting...

When we order banners from a wholesaler we never ask for grommets. We prefer to place our grommets fully over the double thickness of the hem, not halfway on, halfway off. For oversize banners, we've been impressed with the overall quality and speed of signs365.

Not knowing which printer or ink you are using makes it harder to offer advice. A couple of things jump out at me. I don't see much difference in the cost or time of flatbed printing these then sheet laminating them. To get a good, rich black you'll need to run them at a higher setting, then...
