  1. Scratch and Kink Free Posters

    What kind of printer? We do posters on our Epson S70670 all the time and don't encounter problems like that. But we don't use Briteline poster paper. We use Intellicoat Gloss Photo.
  2. Small Sign Business Owners - You still doing ok in these times?

    We are running a maybe 6 month backlog. We lose some jobs because we can't get to them in time, though most customers just wait because nobody else can get to them. It's been this way for 2 years with no seasonal slowdown. At midyear, we were up 19% over last year on gross, but something like...
  3. Gym Signs

    If you're doing just 2'x3', have them buy poster frames and just print paper posters to put in them. We do posters for a church that go in snap frames, and for hotel elevators that are drop-in frames. The frames are relatively pricey, but the posters are cheap. We get the frames from Testrite in...

  7. People asking for logos...I'm getting irritated

    In this particular case, if the dance studio is your customer and that's the logo being requested, I would contact the dance studio and say that so and so wants their logo and you were wondering what that was about. Let them explain to you that they are jumping ship. Then drop your bomb about...
  8. Banners Across Road

    Are they temporary (for a week or so) or long term? Are there already cables there for hanging them?
  9. Dent repair?

    I was just the installer. It's really not on me to figure it out, but the manufacturer asked me to Bondo it, which is why I created this thread--I've never heard of Bondoing a sign face. That said, the customer is someone I've done work for at their two previous locations. Why they didn't have...
  10. Dent repair?

    It's 5'x8' two-sided. .063" aluminum faces flush bonded somehow to a 2" frame which runs the perimeter of the sign. I see no rivets; the face of the sign is completely smooth. The face is divided into two tenant panels which are only delineated by being on separate pieces of printed vinyl. It...
  11. Dent repair?

    Also you're right about the sign not being cheap. I think they paid about twice what it would have been if it had been made locally. There was $240 in plywood and $72 in lumber to make the crate, not to mention the steel. And I'm sure a hefty shipping bill.
  12. Dent repair?

    If we go the Bondo route, it would be done by a body shop. But I don't think we'd have to repaint it brown. The dent is all behind the wrap. I'm going to try paintless dent repair. Unfortunately we may not have mobile services for that in our town. All the places that say they do it are...
  13. Dent repair?

    I'm pretty sure if we Bondoed it we'd have to sand it off, fill, sand, prime, repaint before we put the vinyl wrap over it. I know enough about auto body work to know that, but I've never done it.
  14. Dent repair?

    Incomprehensively late is right. I was first contacted about this sign the first week of February, agreed to the price for installation based on only an elevation drawing. Did the site survey in March. Then they were leaning on me for a copy of the sign permit (which for this kind of sign takes...
  15. Dent repair?

    I am pretty sure that the dent was made with the end of a 2x4. That's the size and shape of the dent. It arrived bolted to an angle iron steel frame by the hangers that hold it to the sign posts, with a secondary 2x4 frame built around it bolted to the hangers on the top of the sign (they though...
  16. Dent repair?

    I could make a new face and have them send me the vinyl already printed so it all matches. Except that the face is painted brown to match the frame, and we don't have the ability to mix paint and spray it. And I can't see how they attached the face to the frame. There are no visible fasteners...
  17. Dent repair?

    We did a local sign installation of a sign that was shipped ready to install from a big sign company in Alabama yesterday. It came in a large, heavy crate, bolted to a steel frame inside the crate. When we unpacked it, there was a dent in one of the faces of the sign (it's .063 aluminum on a...
  18. Suggestions Side by Sides, ATV, Motorcycle "wraps" Material combos?

    That would yield a normal offroad vehicle graphic, which has to be made in pieces cut from a template to fit together. Not a wrap, as you would do on a car.
  19. Suggestions Side by Sides, ATV, Motorcycle "wraps" Material combos?

    Anything that you can actually wrap with is not durable to survive normal use of the offroad vehicle. Anything durable enough to survive use cannot be wrapped because it's not flexible enough. And the laminates used on the graphics are not PPF but specialty overlaminates. Avery and Oracal both...
