I've seen ton of discussion on printing on metals and acrylic but never on something that's painted with Matthews (Metal or Acrylic). We had mixed results especially printing something that has paint buildup like in case of ADA signs. We tried AP3155 with mixed results and it leaves a...

thank you everyone. But no one knows. The architect or the owner don't even know yet they have those exact brackets on campus. Maybe its something old that's not made anymore.

yea they are actually speced for both UCSF and Kaiser. Yet nowhere they mention a fabricator, supplier or anything. Interesting thing is that there is a notch inside to keep the sign from falling.

Nope, none of them have it.

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to find this bracket for corridor blade or flag sign but cant locate it anywhere. Anyone knows what this is or where i may find it? Dimensions don't have to be exact. Just the style with that internal notch to hold a 1/4 blade.

Hi Everyone. We have been using Signvox then shopVox and just recently the price nearly doubled from $215 to $366 a month and i cant justyfy the cost as we are a small shop. They supposed can not switch us to their Express platform which is honestly what we had before as far as options go. Just...

Update::: Can’t remember how many times already I open and fix the ball bearing that was originally bad from the factory and supposedly they fixed. I don’t even know what I do. Just open up the side gate f the table bearing unit and it starts working And again… less than 2 years after...

I want to share my experience with a purchase of brand new UJF-7151. We experienced nothing but problems from day one with no real care or support from Mimaki. Problems still exist after year an a half with no resolution. This was the worst and most unreliable machine we have. Problem 1)...

So, SignVox will no longer be supported and the price for us for the software will more than double (we are total of 7 users). I'm at square one in looking for alternate product. I did watch ShopVox demo, but my questions were not really answered and the program seemed using overly too many...

Thank You Brad. Yes I'll be using new Aluminum sheets (pre painted 080 kind). They are for monuments and I don't want the paint to fail say in couple of years. We will sand it with 400 grit but Sounds like priming also may be a good idea. i also thought Mathews also has a gray primer?

Hi everyone, Im trying to Paint Aluminum Sign Blanks with Matthews. I dont know if priming is necessary or not. I cant find the infor on Matthews website or by calling them. They have a great material prep guide but it does not cover aluminum sign blanks which are painted. It only covers raw...

Hi Everyone, I had a last minute add on to our project and the contractor wants us to provide side lit 1" thick letters. I called Gemini but they dont make them. Cause timing is of the essence I want to know a) how i can make them b) where can i order them. So here is my question. First and...

Hey everyone. im trying to make a aluminum monument. I'm going to give it to metal fabricator but am a bit puzzled how to do the reveal. Its a a standard box aluminum monument with a bottom section, reveal and the top section. I'm thinking the frame will be made of aluminum angle and the...
