  1. Trailer Graphics (newbie)

    You can use multiple lines, but sometimes where the joins are will cause "seam bubbles", so i wouldn't recommend it. We use TAC Master plus transfer tape. We are in Canada though so we get the brand that's available to us. It's probably a 3M product though.
  2. Signs literally broke in half

    I would of used an ACP product for these (unless it is.. then nm, lol).. on a chainlink fence they shouldn't be able to get bent or warped from the wind because the fence will offer some stability while using chainlink clips along the top and bottom.
  3. Trailer Graphics (newbie)

    That trailer looks like a rivetless body from quick glance. Make sure you have a good squeegee on hand if your graphics are going to be "premasked" or covered with a release liner, if not, the you'll need a nice soft felt squeegee so you don't scratch the graphics when applying. We do trailers...
  4. Script

    I went to dafont.com and typed in barbie.. there were a few similar fonts...but not "exact". if you are recreating the logo, you could just redraw / vector it.?
  5. Wall Calendars

    We printed our own wall calendars for our shop on SiHL poster paper. it's a 36" roll so large enough to make our own. in all honestly after you trim them and such, they don't stay too curly. People will usually tape them to the wall anyways. I did the artwork in Coreldraw for custom layout.
  6. First Time Building a Pylon Sign. Need some help!

    You probably won't find a manual anywhere. we build pylon signs all the time at our shop. We are in Canada, so i'm sure we have different standards for constructing such things. Normally we build the sign can out of sheet metal, angle iron and aluminum extrusions. As far as attaching to your...
  7. Fabric / Banner display frame

    If you're in Canada, Flags Unlimited has all sorts of things like this, plus flags...obviously. :P
  8. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    One time we did a super rush job for a local customer's restaurant and they brought us Chinese Food the next day for lunch. :) it was super nice and unexpected.
  9. WIDE FORMAT PRINTERS NEED SERVICING IN SASKATOON,SASKATCHEWAN

    We use Rubenstein RB Digital for our tech work when needed. We have purchased all of our Mimaki machines from them. By the looks of it, they have an office in Saskatchewan. 51 Main St. St. Benedict, SK S0K 3T0 431-588-4399 https://rbdigital.ca/
  10. Need some advice for a banner! ️

    What about wrapping them with temporary vinyl graphics instead? If it's for an event or POP display,etc..unless they have to be banners, then nevermind.
  11. Vinyl Recommendation

    Hello fellow canadian! If they do not want one hundred precent blocked out window, we use Graphcal window perf 60/40 with a 290 GF laminate. Then because they recommend it, edge tape around all for extra durability (just using oracal 215 lam strips). You could also do a window mesh from the...
  12. Need Help What the font?

    Just looking for this font. It's not Futura, and it's not century gothic. anyone have a further clue? i tried the font matching websites, but they were WAY off. thnx.!
  13. Creating Layers in Corel

    what do they mean by "wonky"? if the text isn't opening correctly,make sure everything is converted to curves. Every vector item should be its own layer anyways. It could be your text boxes causing the issues, i never use em, absolutely despise text boxes, lol. You could try typing out your...
  14. Flexible Trim Cap

    We get trim cap by the roll, to go around our channel letters. it comes in various widths and goes around curves just fine. Unless you mean the edge of the shape (bottom side?), a heat gun should make it maliable enough to bend around?
  15. Gantry will not raise help.

    Does your machine have a lead screw? it could be broken. This happened on our CNC machine,needed a new Lead screw / worm screw because it was worn out.
