  1. Suggestions 1-shot discontinuing Pantone formula requests

    Hey Johnny! Thanks for the reply! I've had better results using 1-Shots tinting white when it calls for white to be mixed in. Which paints are you using from Home Depot for your exterior signage?
  2. Suggestions 1-shot discontinuing Pantone formula requests

    Thanks for your reply, Gino! Mixing by eye is what we're going to have to do for our next few projects until we can figure something else out. Do you have any tricks for getting to a starting point other than relying on your many years of paint mixing expertise? I don't have the best eye for...
  3. Suggestions 1-shot discontinuing Pantone formula requests

    I have a small sign shop that still uses 1-Shot enamels (I know, I know) for the majority of our dimensional sign projects. For years, we've relied on their Pantone formulas page, which is normally a great tool for providing mixing ratios to get us close to our customers' brand colours. Often...
  4. Looking for HDU in Western Canada

    Hey Jazz! I did reach out to Polymer Shapes, they were the $1200 for a 2x48x96" sheet of PBL18 quote. I ended up finding a sign company in Calgary that sold us some off-cuts that were large enough for our project.

    Ugggh turns out it wasn’t the spindle. My wife diagnosed the problem yesterday but when I came in to grease the spindle this morning I realized that the squeal is coming from the body of the printer. Our HP techs haven’t been much help and my wife is on the phone with HP support but I figured...

  10. Need Help HP 315 Spindle Squeak

    Our HP 315 spindle has started squeaking this morning. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this and could please give me an idea of how I might fix it. I'm hoping I can just throw some grease on there, but please let me know if you think this going to require a new part.
