  2. Rant Look at that, two in one day...............................................

    Usually when I can't find a file in the computer it's because I accidentally saved it in the wrong alphabetic folder or gave it a name I can't think of any more.
  3. Pricing for a large format printer

    You have to figure out the average time the printer takes to do the jobs and work that into the square foot price so that you are always making enough money. Most people doing signs don't put enough cost calculation into their pricing and thus the amount they charge doesn't account for all the...
  4. Discussion Not quite sure how I feel about this....................... ??

    When it happens I take the misdelivered mail to the post office and tell them. Our town is small enough that they know where we are, where the mailboxes are, and who we are.
  5. Printed Windscreen?

    texvisions does them
  6. Permit or pass?

    Except there are no sign codes. Electrical and building, yes, but not sign. Where you have laws comes in with city ordinances. The ordinance will be what requires the sign permit. And the ordinance will specify allowable sizes, types of sign, types of construction, etc. And what electrical code...

    The customer likely has been searching the internet and found places like this: https://www.coversports.com/windscreens/?keyword=printed%20windscreen&gclid=Cj0KCQjwt-6LBhDlARIsAIPRQcLTFJ4LB3UYTArGntXG1WAKmUa5myXRF7qTQe6UzH8aSAnx4DKJ59MaAnICEALw_wcB...
  8. Permit or pass?

    I'm with Gino on this one. There is no "getting around" permits. Though there are some things about sign ordinances that are unduly restricting (because back about 20 years ago some anti-sign people went around giving cities and towns boilerplate ordinances that severely limit height, size, and...
  9. Printed Windscreen?

    You tell them, Oh. no. That's not mesh banner. It's printed windscreen fencing.
  10. Question Sign face down due to high wind advisory

    Using the customer's logic, he is responsible for the dents on the hood because he opened the hood to work on the engine.
  11. Question Sign face down due to high wind advisory

  13. Vinyl for a canoe

    Carbon/aramid = fiber. Resin is what is used to hold the fiber together. Fiberglass is a glass cloth/fibers in resin. This canoe is made in a similar way but using carbon and aramid fibers in a resin. Therefore fiberglass type, as I said.
  14. Vinyl for a canoe

    I take it that you are not a sign professional, but an end-user customer. The real answer to your question will depend on what you are trying to do with the decal, how large it is, and how the canoe is used, along with the material the canoe is made from. If the canoe is used on a river...
  15. Do you wear gloves while applying vinyl?

    We don't use the X-Acto brand handles. Ours have the tightening scre mechanism at the back end and there's a hex nut shape there. Excel brand I think. They don't roll.
  16. Do you wear gloves while applying vinyl?

    Use a pick for weeding, not an X-Acto. And you can cut things out with the Olfa, you just have to learn how to hold it (not like a pencil)
  17. Do you wear gloves while applying vinyl?

    Don't use X-Acto knives to apply vinyl. For most anything sign-related for that matter. Those #1 blades are murder on anything they bump into or fall on. Far too pointed. Use a retractable snap blade knife like an Olfa SVR-2. And if you're cutting the backing paper for application, use an Olfa...
  18. shipping issues

    Hmm, yes, I seem to recall a certain government official saying we needed to start doing that a while back, but as I recall he was called racist and xenophobic and small-minded for saying that.
