Hey signage... you jumped into someone's thread and immediately attacked another member and provided no help to the OP. It's quite shameful and immature.![]()
Just another reason it must suck being you. BTW, you are quoting me from another thread... I didn't know you followed me so closely on here.Tex for someone who claims to know so much, I can't believe this would be the fist time, happens many times a week when dealing with new customers!

Who's struggling? Sounds like your the one who struggles during the week with your email PDFs. Maybe Robert can help coach you into retirement... he seems to be handling it well. You can both do consulting via zoom.I'm working on retiring in the next couple of years, don't need to keep working into my late sixes, I don't spend all day on sign forum like you and your cronies do! I have succeeded, will keep someone my more profitable customers, who are also reaching retirement age, and keep supplying them with what they have attempted to move away form me and also came back because many can't produce what they need.
I believe it must suck being you, struggling after your years in this business and past ones..

all the nonsense aside, have been getting all kindsa files labeled all kindsa ways for quite a long time. It is part of the territory. It's been my practice to try and educate the customer the best I can. If it's a good customer or something which looks promising, I'll make my own screen shot and send them a sample of what their file looks like up close with one of a vector, right next to it. About 9 outta 10 will say..... ohhh, how do I do that ?? Then I explain to them, if they don't have it laying around in the marketing department or the graphics person can't do it, we'll hafta recreate it for them. Generally, that will produce exactly what we need. If not, we have the task of rebuilding/recreating it. Or, they can go somewhere else. I got a "screen shot" as well a few weeks back, where the customer literally took a picture of a desktop monitor screen with their new logo on a stock site (one of those sites that has destroyed the graphic design trade). Ask them for an original file and you'll hear something like "Isn't that what I just sent you?" or you'll get a Word doc with a low-res logo placed in it. I gave up trying to educate customers years ago, they don't care and will never understand, so I just fix it whenever possible and move on with the show. Often times using Illustrator's Image Trace or Vector Magic results in a good enough vector, and is faster and easier than explaining it all. That's our job now, unfortunately. Crap in, crap out.
I got an e-mail from a client wanting a logo printed. I told them a vector file and sometimes PDFs.
They send me a PDF and I open it to find a raster image screenshot of an e-mail with the logo in it.............WTF????..
