I have printed (1) each of the "Front Desk" and "Plenary Session" signs on 24"x36" media, which is 2 of the 5 files ready under ./dc14/artwork/signage. I didn't start the Room XXX signs because there isn't yet consensus on what they're supposed to have in them. So, to put it directly. Is "Talk Room [123]" the final desired content for the 24x36 artwork that will display the sponsor logo in the talk rooms? It would be helpful to nail down the content desired and maintain the momentum on this task (since I should be switching over to badges soon; I have the supplies in hand). If at all possible, I would like to print more signs tomorrow. As with the test print, the files Matto is producing look *great*. Also, the printer now has Satin paper installed, and I disabled the "glossy finisher" step, so they're less shiny than the sample sign. I went to Target and Office Depot to look at backing boards, but they were all either too small or quite expensive (~$6 per piece for 36x48), so I'm going to keep looking. >> This should keep Tony's printing pipeline full while the people who >> want a huge horizontal banner use the miracle of consensus to figure >> out what size it should be. > > 3'x5' should be more than adequate. Maybe 2'x5', if we're worried about the > height. I can try to do something at 3'x5'; it will take about 2 hours to print it, so the sooner we have the source file, the better. However, I don't have a good way to cut off the extra 1' for a 2'x5'. If that's what we want, somebody skilled with an X-Acto can have at it. Thank you, tony
