The thing I've learned about their products is while what you get may look the same as everyone else's, but it isn't. When it comes to media, the vinyl and adhesive chemical compositions aren't the same, so results will vary on how well they perform, or in many cases not perform as expected...

Mild winters??? Wish we had those here in Wisconsin...

Exactly... Poles will usually fail before a banner does. With mesh, as long as what they're mounted to is structurally sound, you shouldn't have any issues unless conditions are so bad that people shouldn't be outside anyway. We have an annual music festival on an island in the river, and they...

Licensing, a word that tries to push the grey area of consumer/ end user protection for revenue... How long do you think it'll be before the FTC looks at how these fit into the warranty act? :oops:

You ain't missing anything. Freezing yer' butt off to catch fish. No thanks, I'll go to a restaurant and order their catch of the day. Around here they have track vehicles, they use em' to groom snowmobile trails, and have plows on them, a lot of ice fishers have 4x4's with plows to keep lanes...

Technically some of the provisions in these warranties violate terms of the Magnusun Moss Warranty act. Harley Davidson and Westinghouse are the latest ones to be hit by the FTC for restricting consumers repair options, and forcing them to use their own "higher cost" parts and consumables during...

Owner of the company I'm at is the same way, and would probably do the same. He sees the potential in people and always tries to bring it out. My wife says it best when she talks about my boss, she says the only one on the same level as him is Santa Clause. It creates an incredible work...

All the bulk system's I've used, the assembly that replaces the cartridge has the provision for the chip, it just doesn't come with it because different inksets have different chips. I just used the chips out of the ink cartridges I was using, never had to change the chip in any after I went to...

Back when the SC540's first came out, I popped some of the Roland cartridges open (curiosity) and the bags inside all had Epson decals on them under the Roland ones. Inks are formulated to have the right viscosity for different heads and models, but there's only a few actual manufacturers of...

They're business to business suppliers. Get yer' boss to have his business set up an account with one of them. Pick one that sells other products the company will use, and use them as a vendor for other things too. I have accounts of my own with a few places under the tax ID for my sideline...

I'll just leave this here....

I learned the hard way, so you don't have to. Adhesives matter, depending on what they'll be stuck to. We did some name tags for a company function years ago at a place I worked for. I just used some adhesive paper we used for temporary store displays. What could possibly go wrong? Any that were...

Don't know if any of the merchant members sell them, but you can get light modules on Amazon (just type "led modules for signs" in the search). Can't attest to their quality or durability compared to what we use, but for a one-off project they'll probably be better, and more weather resistant...

Make sure the lights are mounted good, whether you channel them or not. Adhesives can come loose from heat, and since you're putting these exterior, black letters get pretty hot when the sun is beating down on em'. A little silicone here and there helps. If this is something you are planning...

Best way to do halo lighting is to have sides on the letters, or whatever you're lighting, like the image attached. The recess forces the light to be reflected toward the wall before it spreads out. Without it the light just shines out the sides and just washes everything out, and the lighting...

Someone just posted this earlier today... https://www.dickblick.com/products/ronan-one-stroke-lettering-enamel/?fromSearch=%2Fsearch%2F%3Fsearchword%3Dlettering%20enamel

I use metalized films to make compliance certification decals that go on roll cages for a heavy equipment mfgr. If it's anything like the stuff I use, I can see why someone would use them on a boat, they're permanent, water, chemical, and salt resistant, but... If they ever had to try to get...

Yeah, we know.... But when people sign stuff, and there's dollars attached, I'm sure the question of would we/ could we sticks in some of their minds. We haven't had to actually try to go after anyone for it, don't know for sure if we ever would. Is it effective? Do we just have honest...

Yes, rolls need to be centered. How do you attach the backer to the take up reel? On our Seal I use cheap two sided tape, I run all the way down the liner take up tube, when I thread it I pull it tight, square, and attach it all the way across. If you have the lam roll centered, and it's...

I don't use carrier paper anymore either, it's just one more thing to keep aligned. Decades ago I had a Star-64 that you had to use it on because it had over a foot gap between the pinch rollers and a pair of nip rollers that was recessed with fans in it, so it was almost impossible to run...
