New Dude
My name is Art and I work for a local Comunity college, I run the sign shop and paint shop. I do the campus exterior/interior signs, badges etc.
I use an New Herme is6000 engraver and do ADA signage with braile.
I also use a 50" vinyl plotter as well, I go to the sign shows every year and saw a car wrap demo. I want to try it on my f-150. I did buy a 60"x12" of 3m carbon fiber. Should be delivered next week, I was able to get a small sample of brown alligator that I will experiment with soon.
I was a union paperhanger doing comericial work be before I started working at the college. I did get certified as a Autocad draftsman, got a job working for a engineer doing blueprints, but was soon back painting and hanging paper. But the course introduced me to the world of computers, my first 286. Then dx40, after that I built one every couple of months. All the time getting aquinted with Corel and photoshop, getting razzed on the job for bringing signs I made at home. Long story short made a digital cd, nothing new now. But back in 2000 it was a novelty, I had loaded it with a five minute movie and 30 or photos of doing of things
nobody would belive if I hadn't filmed it. More razz for follow workers taking photos of me while working. So I get a job as a painter and like usual bring signs to work with me, wasn't long I was runinng the sign shop. I was at the sign show and bought a Cannon IFP 8000 wide format printer, it looked small at the show, it wasn't. I guess I got bit with graphics, and like making signs. Way too much info, opps! to much coffee. I have a Mac and a dell 8100 and run win 7, a bit of a upgrage from dos and win 3.
