Yeah, well, it's unlikely for the tariff to have brought back the jobs if 18 other countries just trans-shipped the tariffed materials and China was still supplying all the material that way without the tariff being applied.

But would a bonding method work for a 4'x16' sign as they want, or only for individual cutout letters?Seems like it would take a lot of adhesive to put up a sign like that securely, and could you wire-saw a 4'x8' off the wall later?

The price has not fluctuated. In 6 years it's gone up a smidge.

I don't see anything that looks like an ink drip in your photos. When you have ink drips, it's almost always due to a piece of fuzz or lint that is stuck to the print head or something just around the print head, and it catches the ink mist as the head moves side to side. Eventually enough ink...

Well, in this area average life for a business like the one going in there would be 2 years. And chances are I'll get called to change the sign when something else goes in. Now that the building is refurbished and usable again. Though they were dealing with a sudden underground plumbing leak...

Possibly, but what I was wanting to do was something that doesn't make it harder for the next tenant. If I stuck it up with a bunch of Lexel and VHB, that would be a mess. That and the sign being right over a sidewalk. Granted, the awning would slow the sign falling...

Another day another weird installation. New store moving into an old building, long disused. It was originally a 19th century/turn of century brick building, that some time after the lake was dammed in 1930 was refurbished with the then-modern black architectural glass that is stuck to the...

I saw a more detailed article saying the main issue they were dealing with was that China has been getting around the tariffs on them by trans-shipping through those other 18 countries; those countries don't actually produce the aluminum.

Dreamscapes can be hung by any wallpaper hanger. It's done the same as any commercial grade vinyl wallpaper.

Thanks! Those are exactly what I am looking for.

We're doing a sign at a mall in a space that used to be a GNC store. The cabinet is shallow, it has LEDs inside, and the outside has fluorescent lights all around the edge. They're small tubes, relatively short and they just have them lined up around the outside. There is not face on the sign...

Don't put the brick and concrete in Gino's dumpster. Put it in his customer's dumpster when he drops it off the night before a lettering job so it's not late.

Actually for glass carafes it would be this one. However it does have to be kiln fired after application. https://decalsolutionsinc.com/ProductPages/WaterSlideDecals/GlassDecals.php

Kilz Standard Interior Primer and PVA Drywall Primer are water based.

I would bet that you are in a metro area where people are generally "green" sensitive and businesses like to virtue signal. Whether customers are willing to pay for "green" products or not depends on how badly they want them. If your clientele don't care about "green" then you aren't going to...

As regards my comments that you answered. Ink limits are not a function of the printer, but of the profile. So they would have nothing to do with the age of the printer, but the numbers in the profile. If you are using canned profiles downloaded from the same place everyone else in the world...

Agree. Overstretching failure. It's not edge peeling up. You can tell it's overstretched from the puckers.

I guess I'll ask the obvious question that if you're doing a backlit sign which only has black lines on it, why are you printing it rather than cutting it from black vinyl?

I believe the Edge makes color gradients with a dot screen effect anyway, doesn't it? Normally you try to make the dots as small as possible so they are inapparent to the viewer. But if you want them larger, there should be someplace in the software to make them bigger. That's what he means by...

Just looking at your test prints you can see the magenta is deficient. The one that looks like plaid, you can see the horizontal and vertical lines that are supposed to be pure magenta are a light pink. If those were printed through a profile, then I'd look into the ink limits being way too low...
