  1. How do you store / organize your overs?

    We use some blueprint cabinets for the regular customers with re-orders. Otherwise, trash them if you don't give them to them with their initial order.
  2. Aluminum cabinet without welding

    You can use Lord's adhesive along with aluminum angle along the edges/corners and make the faces from thin aluminum or routed ACM. As stated, correctly reinforce any locations/sides for mounting. Contact your vendor for the full Lord's adhesive chart/brochure to be sure you're purchasing the...
  3. What material is this?

    That's Leo's Gold, you can tell by how it turns green. Leo passed a few years ago and no one wanted to adopt his process to continue making the materials. I recommend using products from RealGold or SignGold companies, they're good quality products and do not need encapsulated around the edges...
  4. Suggestions Wholesale Billboard Source Needed

    IndyImaging is wholesale to the trade only. Grand format printers.
  5. Full color graphics applied to Dry Erase Magnetic Glass Quartet Boards

    The steel polymetal works great for magnetic dry erase boards. We print on vinyl and lam with Dry Erase laminate and mount to that. There's also nicer enamel coated steel boards but they're harder to route to shape.
  6. Epson Sure Color 80600 for sale!

    Looks like the printer is in good shape, you would do well to print a test print and upload the photo of that. Heads on these are the real possible issue.

    I went ahead and drew it up. https://www.signs101.com/threads/free-stuff-for-yall.118411/post-1634395

  9. Looking for a vehicle template

    Just realized, that thread started 10 years ago... now I feel old!
  10. Looking for a vehicle template

    Definitely NOT the truck you grabbed a template of, but I do not use that site. You could park probably 4 of these trucks in the back of the truck you found. The truck I need is only 54" wide overall.
  11. Looking for a vehicle template

    Looking for a template for a 1995 Mitsubishi Minicab "truck" cab. (not the box) I can't find one on the internet anywhere. I know how to make my own; it is just a pain I'd rather avoid if possible... Anyone have one or a lead on one?
  12. Looking for a metal brake

    Thinking about adding a metal brake to our shop for bending sheet goods like aluminum and polymetal. What do/don't you recommend?
  13. AUTOMATION and WORKFLOW

    If the issue is business/job management, we had custom software built for us around 8 years ago, and recently outgrew it. We looked at all of the software out there and it either seemed too simple or way too complicated and in the end decided to have another piece of software custom written to...
  14. AUTOMATION and WORKFLOW

    Is the bottleneck on communication/workflow in the departments, or is it machine capacity? I've never known those laminating tables to be actually good or efficient, and having 3 r2r printers and only 1 r2r laminator/plotter sounds a bit off. I would look at more efficient...
  15. All of a sudden it says now heating. I have to hit pause to start printing.

    What temp is it set to? I remember a real long time ago we had a Mimaki JV3 that had a similar issue, and the cause was that the room temp was higher than what the printer was looking for. It couldn't cool itself down to reach the desired temp so it kept waiting to print. Once we figured it out...
  16. Need Help Print huge wine bottle label for corrugated water tank on farm

    Go ahead with that test install; sounds like it has horizontal corrugations... And let me know how soon you decide that you're installing a piece of flat polymetal onto it. FWIW, you could just take a piece of tape and go over 1 corrugation tip to tip and measure the length (stretched back out)...
  17. Black Snap Frame Materials?

    I need to purchase some Black Aluminum Snap Edge Frame Material. I contacted & quoted through Outwater Industries, and they said they had plenty on-hand in stock. I placed an order last week for 34 qty 8ft sticks (and all hardware) so I can make 30 qty frames. Received a call today that they...
  18. COMPUTER CUT CHROME

    We have used the Avery Chrome wrap vinyl for cut lettering with good success for years.
  19. Anyone tried/heard of retrofitting a Roland BN20/A so it can print magnetic materials?

    We tried and tried printing magnets for one of our largest customers, and the biggest challenges we eventually ran into were the weight of the roll, and the quality of the material. Even when you printed smaller rolls there was always quality issues with the surface coating. Eventually we came...
  20. How would you make these table style signs?

    Printed or just engraved signs? If just engraving (2-color) these, you could use a product called King ColorCore.
