  1. Did anybody else get a Signs 365 surprise?

    Yeah, I got one a week ago. Haven't had time to open it yet. I guess it's an acrylic sign, based on the box.
  2. How to tell the difference in Vinyl's.

    Tell the production manager not to waste time removing the labels. They are on the inside of the core and don't impede anything having to do with production. But if you use the vinyl regularly for a couple of days you will be able to tell the difference quite easily. They have different...
  3. DTF PNG vs Vector?

    They use png because then you don't have to tell people how to define the white areas in the print. Besides, file size isn't an issue because the final printed size is never bigger than the size of a heat press.
  4. Need a laugh? I don't know, but maybe AI might help...

    If you understood it's a shoe last then you got it.
  5. Corn hole

    When we've done them the customer has made them. I tell them it has to be sanded smooth and coated with multiple coats of polyurethane before we put the graphics on them. We don't wrap them. We make a flat decal to go on top. We've even done cut graphics for some wedding sets. Usually a full...
  6. install small dedication plate to concrete

    VHB tape won't hold on raw concrete. Moisture gets in the concrete, the concrete chalks, sign falls off. Epoxy can work. Screws work. Studs work.
  7. Nix Color Sensors

    I am using a Nix. It's easy and seems to give good results. I've been happy with it.
  8. Stand offs

    Ordinarily you don't worry about a contrast between the standoff color and the sign color.
  9. Hand flag with dowel/stick

    Parade flags are almost always stapled to the dowel. Even if these are to mark graves, they only have to last the weekend. Cemeteries usually get rid of Memorial Day displays the next week. www.customstickflags.com
  10. Price check: Install 4 posts along a hillside

    If the restaurant or marina has a handyman they can dig a post hole as well as anyone else, and not get paid anything extra to do it. Or maybe even the owner and a teenage son could do it in their spare time. I sell signs all the time and let the customer install them.
  11. Facebook Marketplace anyone?

    FB Marketplace works if you are trying to sell items, like your baby bed or a used car. Signs don't work that way. The best I have found historically was advertising in the yellow pages. People don't even think about sign shops until they need a sign. Therefore all the traditional...
  12. Kestrel sticks?

    We've done a couple of Kestrel stick conversions. Very easy to fit, makes for a quick no-fuss conversion that takes about 5 minutes longer than just changing the bulbs. And the 5 minutes is just because you have to disconnect the transformer and hook up the power supply. The oldest one we did...
  13. Omegabond go on a diet?

    They may have reduced the thickness of the aluminum sheets.
  14. Font Required

    It's not that one. The R is wrong.
  15. Question Shipping Rate Going Crazy

    Do you ever ship things yourself? You'll see why companies are charging so much for shipping.
  16. Proposed Ban On Chlorinated Pigments In Ink...Any Thoughts On This?

    And what fringe group are you talking about that picked up on the gas stove ban? The president and his masters?
  17. Proposed Ban On Chlorinated Pigments In Ink...Any Thoughts On This?

    Are you one of those right wing sign makers?
  18. Proposed Ban On Chlorinated Pigments In Ink...Any Thoughts On This?

    When you consider banning stoves is proposed, I don't think you need somebody looking for an industrial win to have these kinds of proposals.
  19. Gold and Reflective Striping

    Grimco sells it. It's in their traffic section. It's called Conspicuity Tape Series 983.
