why am i here?? simply trying to help the low ballers actually make money and not drive this industry into the ground....never heard of the other site...i'll have to look into it....maybe they actually know what they're doing.....thanks for reference... I have news for you...the industry itself is driving itself into the ground. High prices,excessive mark-up, arrogance, unwilling to take on small jobs...the list goes on. I have bought out supplies from 2 local (long time) sign companies myself,after they went out of business. If you want to offer help...do so. In a nice way,with no smart remarks or digs at newbees. If you can't offer help,do as most of us so,and just don;t respond. my time to design a layout is worth money, and i will charge accordingly....i charge a 70% markup on all materials....and have done so for as long as i'm in the industry.....i'll take any job, but i have a shop minimum....even if the customer only needs three two inch letters cut....it's still takes me time to set the typestyle, load the plotter, cut the vinyl, weed the vinyl and tape it up....

so i'm only allowed to be here if i'm gonna give high fives and tell people their work looks great even if it's sub par??? not my style.....and honestly, whether you ban me or not, i hope someone who owns the copyrights to the clipart, logos, and fonts you all are sharing takes notice to it....the file sharing isn't right, no matter how you justify it to yourself....it's just not right and it's ILLEGAL!

what part of the sign industry isn't graphics? even in a shop that only has a plotter....and composer far surpasses flexi.....in every aspect.....have you ever worked with it?? HEARD of it?

if you think that corel and illy AREN'T industry standards...obvious you're not living in the real world....you're living in the world of hack "sign makers" and i use that term very loosely....

i know there's one for circles, but i don't think there's one for octagons!! :) I guess you don't have Flexi Pro,huh? actually i'm using gerber's latest omega composer 3.0 because i'm an actual sign professional...i also various versions of corel draw and a version of adobe illustrator......although i'm not a big fan adobe...it just doesn't work for me...i'm also familiar with the open source program inkscape....and i did use CADlink's signlab for a couple years...also a very strong program!!! ALL of which have a shape tool that can draw an octagon....and even if they didn't i could draw one BY HAND!!! the industry standard is widely considered to be Flexi Pro. I don't know 2 people who use omega. And I am an actual sign professional. I have corel and AI, gathering dust on my hard drive. Flexi does it all,no need for anything else. how can you possibly think that? i'm baffled.....i actually don't know how to respond to that.....apparently you don't know many PROFESSIONALS!!

$35 for the vinyl (gerber 220) and $30 to apply it......
