  1. Did you file for PPP?

    It all depends how fast your bank processes your application. I submitted at 9:30am on 4/3 with a smaller regional bank. They must be slow at processing. Finally earlier today I was informed that I was "one of the lucky ones" who got approved before the funds ran out... And that I should...
  2. Router, laser, or waterjet?

    A few heavy hitters make up the bulk, think manufacturing companies whose products require safety and/or warning signs. And we are also exploring some new to us markets, which I will keep to myself for now. Nothing world shattering though.
  3. Router, laser, or waterjet?

    I agree cutting blanks first just doesn't make any sense, unless you run them through a flatbed or screenprint. I don't want to go down the screen print road, and uv inks on aluminum won't hold up as well as printed vinyl unless you spray them with urethane. We do the same for cut marks, but...
  4. Router, laser, or waterjet?

    I've looked at the roper whitneys. Which do you have, an electric one? Wondering how you would compare to a hand operated one if you've used both styles.
  5. Router, laser, or waterjet?

    Been looking into lasers a bit, but I have to imagine the laser would leave a "burnt" edge if cutting aluminum with vinyl already applied to it?
  6. Router, laser, or waterjet?

    Thanks for your input, but I'm not understanding what you're saying. Running which machines doesn't make sense? Farming out blanks doesn't help much. The idea is to do in house for many reasons. Fast turnaround time is a must and I don't want the hassle of subbing out. I'll assume you would...
  7. Router, laser, or waterjet?

    Looking for best method for cutting aluminum signs. Currently we use a stomp shear, corner rounders and hole punch. But we are getting into higher volumes and our current process is labor intensive. For reference we can finish (1,000) 10x7 signs (mount vinyl / shear aluminum / punch holes /...
  8. Just In FireSprint Fast & Free

    Is the fast and free service available for screen printed yard signs? I don't see the option on the website.
  9. Font with flat "S"?

    That's the same font, or a knockoff of bauer, not sure which is the knockoff. I'm looking for something very similar except I'm not a fan of the lower cased letters mixed in like the r, m, n etc.
  10. Font with flat "S"?

    Looking for a font similar to this one attached here, where the S has flat or straight tops and bottoms. Doesn't have to be oblique but maybe a little thinner stroke. Anybody have any ideas?
  11. 3M Prioritizing N95 Masks Overseas

    Definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Understandably their supply chain of brokers makes this hard for them to wrangle but WTF, take care of your own in a time of crisis. Thoughts?
  12. Self-Employed / Small Business Disaster Relief ($10,000 grant)

    Just submitted the PPP application. And still haven't heard anything back from the earlier EDIL app.
  13. Self-Employed / Small Business Disaster Relief ($10,000 grant)

    They need to be more clear on this. Monday the buzz was that you better get on sba.gov and fill out the application as they're going to run out of money. This app was for the EDIL and asked if you want to be considered for a $10K advance. This app also talked about the ppl but not very...
  14. S80600 Users: Do you print Red and Orange ink for outdoor use?

    Good to know. Are you printing R/O for outdoor use?
  15. S80600 Users: Do you print Red and Orange ink for outdoor use?

    That's good to know. Any red or orange prints out in the field that you've been keeping your eye on?
  16. S80600 Users: Do you print Red and Orange ink for outdoor use?

    How long have you been printing this way?
  17. S80600 Users: Do you print Red and Orange ink for outdoor use?

    What about the use of white as a base when printing clear decals? How do they hold up outdoors? So this is partly why I started the poll, because I haven't really heard of any issues related to the GS3 inks in the newer surecolors. We are right in that window of 6-9 months for our test...
  18. S80600 Users: Do you print Red and Orange ink for outdoor use?

    Yes I've seen this before for the waranty from 3M, but I've not seen anything directly from epson about it. And I would imagine there are quite a few s80 owners who have never heard about the R/O ink being bad, so there is most likely a lot of people printing it for outdoor. And if that's...
  19. S80600 Users: Do you print Red and Orange ink for outdoor use?

    Epson told you that? Or a dealer? Was this verbally or did they send you some documentation with this information?
  20. S80600 Users: Do you print Red and Orange ink for outdoor use?

    Is it possible for a Moderator to change the poll results to public? Would like to be able to message some respondents directly. Sorry, first poll I've created and didn't realize what that option was.
