  1. Poblocki Sign Company Shut Down?

    A little town called Brokaw, just north of Wausau. It finally got annexed into another township a few years back, which lowered the taxes that skyrocketed to maintain roads & services, and some of the empty lots are slowly being built on again, but much of it is still just empty lots. The mill...
  2. Poblocki Sign Company Shut Down?

    Damn Bro... Impressive! Cheers :toasting: I'm stuck alone at the shop more than not, all I have to pick on all day are these troublemakers, who end up picking on me more than me picking on them.
  3. which software would be better to use

    Pro Vehicle Outlines is subscription based, you pay annually for the entire collection, great if it's your bread & butter, but not so cost effective if you don't use it daily. Bad Wraps can be purchased individually, which is good if you only need a template here and there. There are a lot of...
  4. BEST CHROME VINYL

    RGI's Mirror Chrome is about the best I've found. 10 year, non tarnishing. Not cheap, but all their stuff is worth it when you want the best. https://realgoldinc.myshopify.com/products/reverse-cut-mirror-chrome-vinyl
  5. Poblocki Sign Company Shut Down?

    Our company has been around for over 50 years, and our owner was shocked to hear it closed. Said we used to do a lot with Poblocki, never had any issues, then nothing for years (assuming since the acquisition). For all the shop personnel, the Milwaukee- Chicago area is kind of the mid west hub...
  6. In need of a fabric banner

    Used to print a ton of fabric banners for trade shows and backdrops, table runners & skirts... Ultraflex in a post above was one material I used. Others I used were from Big Systems down the road from you in Menominee Falls. Used their BigSol 753 satin polyester fabric and WetJet 454 heavy...
  7. Just replaced both print heads (OEM) on my SG-300, now it won't print anything

    Depends on what fuse, and where in the chain. There are a couple of std barrel fuses, but the ones that usually blow are soldered on the boards. You'll have to use a multimeter and test to see which one. It's been a hot minute since I dealt with Roland's, maybe someone else can point out the...
  8. Just replaced both print heads (OEM) on my SG-300, now it won't print anything

    Roland's are very temperamental with their electronics. One cable set wrong, one drop of ink on anything electronic (especially the ribbon cables and connectors, don't completely disconnect power and let capacitors discharge before you do anything, and fuses, sometimes even boards go bye-bye...
  9. Poblocki Sign Company Shut Down?

    Damn... They've been around forever. Used to do a lot with them. If he did sell out to an investment company, it's not surprising they closed, they just pillage and plunder companies.
  10. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    My version of "plant based meats"... The meat can eat all the plants they want before they become sweet, salty, succulent bacon.
  11. Overlaminate without a laminator

    We picked up one of the electric cold ones on wheels, pretty much same guts as the table tops, but with a stand and a feed motor. Started out just to see how well it would mount graphics (had a big order of 4x8 acm panels to mount full graphics to), didn't want to risk damaging rollers on our...
  12. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    You wouldn't come protect me for free bacon?Well, I never... :noway:
  13. Overlaminate without a laminator

    Get a manual laminator. Tabletop ones range from $100-300-ish, depending on width/ vendor. You can get larger manual or electric ones under a grand. They don't have heat assist, takeup systems, or any of the other goodies, and to be honest, too low quality for full production use, but they do...
  14. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    I'd probably need a little assistance breaking down a whole animal at my age. Don't like to share, but who wouldn't help out for a cut of the bacon, or good smoked pork? Convert a tanker truck into a smoker, a refer for storage, mmmmmm.
  15. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    I'll use all the stuff we have for signs to build a big ol' thunder dome cage. Charge everyone a pig for admission because, well... I like bacon.

    You couldn't get that lucky, yer' stuck here with all us reprobates ;)
  17. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    If it's zombies, I got nuthin' to worry about. They eat brains, I'm a drummer... Do the math.
  18. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    Signs will be needed... How ya' gonna know it's coming without them?

    Check with your vendors, we often get specialty and reflective vinyls by the yard.

    Go into your account and disable the two factor authentication, you should be able to log in as usual. You can always re-enable it later and see if it works like it should, or when you find out if it's a glitch.
