Does anyone service or know a service tech for a Konica Minolta Bizhub Press d7000c in the Salem, Ohio area?

I come from a hand-lettering background. Back then I called them "lettering styles". I learned a few from books and made up a lot of my own. When I moved to a computer I have never gotten good at identifying fonts by name. Often I recognize a font or see it in my mind (what's left of it) but...

I started making signs when you had to have a can of paint and a brush, and I've made some mistakes in that time but nothing as costly as this one. I'll try to keep it as short and sweet as I can 'cause frankly, I don't want to talk about it. I want it to go away. First I should mention I've...

I've been having this problem lately when opening files I've created in CS2. When reopened, any placed images, usually .jpg or .psd files, move out of their original placement as shown in the attached pics. The first attachment is a recreation of a local Police Dept. uniform patch. The second...

When working with text I need to know the exact letter height, not the em height and without the leading as is included in the illustrator bounding box around type. I need it exactly the way it would measure if converting the text to outlines. Converting text to outlines gives me that...

Printing on an HP 8000. I purchased a roll of ARLON DPF 8000 for a couple of jobs that require it's specific features as it's designed for surfaces which are hard to stick to. I was told by the ARLON rep that there are machine specific profiles on their site, (which there are). But he also said...

We have had a Mimaki CG160FX II plotter for three years now. We are using Adobe Illustrator CS2 with Mimaki's "Fine Cut" software. There are still some things that I don't know how to do and they are so fundamental that I'm embarrassed to ask but here goes.. • If I have several things to plot...

We have two jobs coming up that we need to print and contour cut and apply to latex painted walls. One is interior cement block along with latex painted drywall and the other job is exterior cement block. One job requires 10" letters, all CAPS, of Cachet, Std, Bold which has all rounded...

I have an Illustrator .eps file I just received from a customer that was created in a newer version than I have installed. It's 370 KB in size. If someone could open it and save it back to an earlier version I'd really appreciate it. I'd need it saved to CS3 or CS2. I'm not sure of the...

False alarm. I apologize for cluttering the board.

A new Sprint store opened up in our town this month. It has a wall mounted sign of white channel letters with a black return. I got a call from an out of town Sprint representative today asking if we could make those letters black but so that they would still light up at night. I'm pretty sure...

Our local Middle School has sixteen, 41-7/8" W x 25-1/2" H windows high along the East side of their gym. Throughout the morning hours the sun comes in those windows nearly blinding anyone in the gym who is facing East. They want us to block out the light coming in and while we're at it put a...

I have no idea who did this originally but this customer is asking us to add one name to the bottom of this list. We don't seem to have the font. Could someone identify it?

What a headache to walk into this morning. The attachments are showing bubbles in the foil I applied Friday. When it went down Friday it looked great. I stopped in the shop on Saturday and it looked the same. Like a freaking mirror. I was really pleased and knew the customer would be as well...

Does anyone know the name of this font? All I have is vector art from files provided by the customer but he wishes to know the font name so he can purchase it for other uses. The design firm who did the original work is out of business and he's tried unsuccessfully to get any more files than...

I am using a Mimaki CG 160 FXII. I did hand lettering for years. The past 4 years though I've been working in a sign business that was primarily a vinyl shop. In the past 2 years we've added 2 HP 8000's and print a majority of our work. Regarding the plotter and vinyl cutting, could someone...

I'm more than a bit excited about having finished our first wrap. Although it's only a partial I feel I got a good workout on the installation proceedure. I had some great results on difficult areas and made a few small mistakes as well. Whatever good came out of it is the result of a ton of...

I'm having a heck of a time approaching this partial HHR wrap because of the door handles. It is a 4 door. I'm reprinting a section for the left rear door now because I just slapped the vinyl on the whole side and struggled so much with the door handle that I got unacceptable wrinkles in it. No...
