  2. Big Squeegee a HUGE Help!

    I put some perf up on the UT Drag here using those Big Squeeges. They are miraculous. They get better the more you use them and learn the little tricks. Worked great for laminating without a laminator also.
  3. Need Logo Design Help

    number them If you're going to put a bunch of logos up, you should number them so we can refer to the right ones when mentioning preference. I like the blocky one in the bottom middle on your first attachment. the later one with the bold background letters and the script i feel would look...

  7. Waste?

    Vinyl Ball of Death At my first sign job at Signarama in Virginia in 2000 we had a huge vinyl ball like pee wee herman. Then at least when it does get thrown out it will all be in one ball taking up that space instead of spread all around. Where I'm at now, we think green in the only two ways...
  8. Design Classes

    illy I learned to work illy fast by having people over my shoulder dictating how they wanted designs done in house. The desire to make changes at the speed of dictation made me get better at it.

    2nd one the second one on the right with more color seems more attractive to my tastebuds. the tilt gives a feeling of efficiency.

  13. Hello from Texas

    Yo from Austin! I am having a good experience so far with the HP L26500 Latex printer. It goes to 61" and we print a ton of exterior signs on it. hardy inks that cure quick and don't seem to need lamination. Decent mesh and perf profiles. Have printed plenty of good banner material for pop ups...
  14. Relieved of my Duties

    Sign Business Dude I got written up for hygene once and then fired a month later. Digging post holes all morning in Texas and then doing illustrator by over the shoulder dictation the second half of the day = stinky boy. Look for work with traffic control companies. A lot of them have their own...

  16. 2-sided banner

    fellers Fellers sews them together. They don't do double sided either in any other way. Maybe you could try spray adhesive and then run them through a laminator roller? Or just put two banners up together in the same place and hang them grommet to grommet. I'm so mad at everyone, no one answers...

  18. Cheap channel letters?

    Custom Cabinet This is what's referred to in neon shops as a custom cabinet. Same scope of work as one channel letter, unless they can run flourescent bulbs in strips then they don't have to bend glass. Someone will still have to bend trimcap and shape the walls out. I haven't seen anywhere...
  19. 3M Electrocut - this stuff is fantastic!!!

    We are having a hard time with this material due to bubbles and dust showing up beneath it on reflective sheeting. We are trying to make 30 inch stop signs and we have tried wet application, center hinging, and using a laminator roller to apply and there are imperfections every time. Does...
