  1. WARNING TO PRINT SHOPS – DO NOT BUY A ROLAND PRINTER

    Yep. Our first two printers were Rolands, but I would never consider them again. The way they're going they'll probably push themselves out of the market within next 5 years. I think I'll stick with Epson / Mimaki / Canon for now as they've all been far more reliable than Roland. To the OP...
  2. They said it couldnt be done, yet here we are... doing it. - vinyl on Rhino liner

    Cool, thanks for sharing. I'd think that something like this might also work if you wanted printed graphics: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b00026373/
  3. What Exactly Does Gemini do? Wholesale Signmaker AND Materials Supplier?

    Gemini makes stuff, people resell it. If you have an account with them, then you are a reseller. Duets is kind of a joke as far as I'm concerned - I don't know if they're intentionally doing an awful job of trying to compete with Rowmark etc. but I can't see why anyone would buy their...
  4. Gerber Edge FX and Envision Plotter

    Welcome from Canada. We still use our Edge 2 and HS15+ / GS15+ plotters almost daily. We use it mainly for 1 color print jobs on colored vinyl. Everything else gets printed on our Solvent / UV printers. Use its capabilities to your advantage. Opaque white, metallic/medal foils, short...
  5. Air Conditioning Solutions

    Yikes. Your vinyl must be nice and gooey in that swamp. We added A/C in our 2,500 sqft shop after a year of trying to find creative solutions like you're doing, and never looked back. Expect to pay $15,000-$20,000 to have it done professionally (put units on the roof ideally so meth heads...
  6. Grommets for 4mm coroplast

    Have you checked w/ Express Sign Products? https://expresssignproducts.com/en/search?controller=search&s=grommet They've got lots of different flavors (free shipping day today too!) I can't recall which version we use for coroplast but we've got some for 4mm and 10mm.
  7. Question Digital marketing a sign shop with no money?

    All great points. We're really excited to start working with this new company and so far have already gained more insight into our online presence without spending a dime than I have in the last 10 years of "tinkering" with things myself. Completely agree about valuing our time and how we can...

    Quick Google search brings up a few: https://eriecustomsigns.com/wholesale-ada-signs.html https://www.adasigndepot.com/collections/ada-custom-signs https://signsofourtimes.com/
  9. Status of Gerber Scientific Inc.

    Interesting. You mention you've been running Gerber plotters for years - are you not using an Edge? There are a few routes you could explore, depending on what you're currently doing and what your concerns are. We're still running Gerber Edge / plotters and have no problems with...
  10. Question Digital marketing a sign shop with no money?

    I know this is an old thread but I'm curious, are you still employing these same techniques and are you still happy with the results? I can understand the resistance from most regarding spending $2500 on getting new leads, but you make a good point - that's a hell of a lot cheaper than having...
  11. Rant What kind of sorcery is this?!

    Paul, first off let me say that I appreciate you and everything that you do around here. My post wasn't intended as a personal attack towards you or the site. I understand that it must take a significant amount of effort to keep this place afloat and I'll be the first to admit that I don't know...
  12. Rant What kind of sorcery is this?!

    It's been a little while since I've been around, and now I come back and there's ads and links spreading through this site like the plague.....? Those blue buttons are scattered all over the place and every other word (sign, in this example) is hyperlinked to Amazon? Wtf is going on here, and...
  13. seeking tips for selling stickers online

    That's awesome man, love to hear success stories like this. Sounds like you really put in the work and it paid off. Glad to hear it took off and you've been able to expand your operations so quickly! I've definitely got some work to do on our website, not driving much revenue so time to get...
  14. Summa F dragging across SAV

    A whole lot of good that actually does....... I've re-mapped our bed a few times and even then, the depth accuracy/tolerances are insane. It will barely cut through the substrate on one corner and a couple of feet away it will be routing 1/4" into the spoilboard. Definitely nowhere near any...
  15. Mystery (Acrylic?) Extrusion?

    Not something you see every day! Laser cut into strips, feed through a router table with a tight radius roundover bit, paint black, return to laser for engraving?
