Thank you for all the signs. I do not know how to print them to ho size. I also do not have a color printer. Help.

No color printer, eh? What cave do you live in. No wait, I didn't say that, I don't have a color printer either. We are phasing them out across our entire network, B&W Laser is far cheaper! (Ok we do have a color Xerox connected to our network).

Use whatever software you use to size the photo to what you want, test it out with your black and white printer, and when you are happy with it, save the file to a thumb drive or a CD, and then take it to a shop that will print it for you. Some of the Photo Album web sites have a click on for you to print the photograph. You can look into that. Maybe you can print it out at the local library.

Thank you for all the signs. I do not know how to print them to ho size. I also do not have a color printer. Help.

Step 1. Copy & Paste image to MS Puplisher or MS Word or any desktop that you can size, crop, ect to the image. You size them to what scale you need.

Step 2. You can print image as is or how you have modified it. ( print mine on cardstock for a dull sign or photo paper for that glossy metal sign look)

Step 3. Trim sign & attach to building, post, wall ect. ( I use double stick tape )

If you do not have a color printer use someones.

I have been trying to find one for the Community Cash chain of grocery stores.  It was a regional chain in upstate SC during the era I model, but have been unable to find a clear picture of the signs.  Would you have come across any?

 

I'll try to find one....tkat
