I think I am up to date on most. But just for good measure what are some words used in the business that not everyone might be familiar with?
Some examples for me would be: Stringers? ICC profiles?
Also some BB abbreviations?

If you know what ICC means with regards to signage and digital printing, you're pretty much a geek! ICC - International Color Consortium I guess I'm a geek Stringers - A horizontal timber used to support upright posts (from Dictionary.com)

I was thinking more words like:
Jewel Trim: Trim intalled onto Acrylic faces to install it on Channel Neon Letters. or Kernelling: To evenly space letters (spelling?)
Overlayed Plywood: MDO Board (was reading it for years in sign craft before I knew it was MDO) call me dumb Posted by Laura Butler (Member # 1830) on :
Vector(izing) Raster Digital Thermal print BB
Blake, I believe that its only called Jewel Lite. Its even manufactured by one of my customers.
