  1. Looking for MOON GLO REVERSE COPY reader board letters

    Does anyone know if this product is still available and who to get them from? I just got an order for a new reader board replacement sign for a hotel and they want the moon glo letters. Also, would it make sense to use these on a black polycarb panel as opposed to white?
  2. Question Does anyone use Google Ads?

    I purchased my business from my former boss. It is an established, "small" business, 30+ years. Most customers are referrals and repeat customers. Things are kind of slow currently and I am exploring advertising options, specifically Google ads. Has anyone every used this and if so, does it help...
  3. Source for vinyl for small projects

    And my point is proven. We are people, human beings. I believe we are programmed with feelings from birth, no way around that, unless you are a robot.
  4. Trusted Supplier for Table Covers etc.?

    Showdowndisplays. com - excellent products, a little higher prices and high ship rates. Instent.com - great products, reasonably priced. mytablecovers.com - Just found these guys and I like their product, they actually sewed the hems on some I just got from them, beautiful end product. Low and...
  5. Source for vinyl for small projects

    WOW, I am a sign professional and have been for about 12 years, I had to learn the majority of what I know by trial and error. It's been very difficult and still is. It helps to know there is a place to go for advice and help where others have more knowledge and experience. I have to say I even...
  6. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Much obliged, thanks for your generosity in sharing.
  7. Discussion Would you fire this employee?

    You have the footage to prove he was destructive. What an immature display, I'd be furious. I would sit him down and show him the footage then give him an ultimatum, he can pay for the damage he caused, and attend an anger management course, at his expense, if he wishes to stay with the company...
  8. Magnet alternative?

    I bought some iDot a couple years ago from Gans Digital but it appears they have gone out of business. Does anyone know of a similar product that can be used in place of magnets for aluminum body vehicles? I have customers that like the removable/reusable aspect of iDot but don't know what else...
  9. "My brother-in-law is a graphic designer in New York City" oh yay...

    The guy obviously doesn't need the business, he'll be lucky to get any from the one with the logo, it's too hard to read. The text based sign said what he did and how to reach him. Sometimes simpler is better.
  10. Sealing ACM panel signs?

    I wish I could do everything with cast, it just always looks better and wears longer. That said, someone mentioned the cost difference, I pay around $175 for a 150' roll calendared print media, 3m IJ180 150' roll costs me about $950, and I haven't even added in the overlaminate. I am not a math...
  11. Sealing ACM panel signs?

    Had a customer come in and we talked about providing new ACM signs for his church. He showed me images of a few that have obviously been out in the elements for awhile, (he says only a year) and the laminate is shrinking and vinyl pulling away from the edges. We didn't do the original signs but...
  12. The next generation of adobe users now work among us

    When a customer wants to have us match a PMS color, we give them the "color matching is not a guarantee but we can get close, due to the nature of the different inks...etc. etc." They are usually good with it. I rarely have someone ask for a PMS match. I usually find a hex to PMS converter...
  13. Sinalite is a POS! I need a new printer

    We use FireSprint more and more these days. Good products, quick turnarounds. Very helpful when short staffed.
  14. SHOES

    Hey Geneva, we are in the Kingwood area, nice to see another Texas sign gal here.
  15. DMCA takedown notice phishing scheme

    Seems like if this were legitimate, you would have received a certified formal letter in the US mail, properly formatted and proper grammar used. They did not even properly identify the company making the charge. The party claiming infringement should also be named and examples presented so that...
