I just picked up a used HP Latex 330 and the take up reel need replaced. Was hoping to find a used on here but didn't see any in the classifieds. I would prefer the bulky take up from the older HP L25500 and L26500s as those are so much more heavy duty then the crappy "pole" they supply on the...

Looking to match the font used in "Merrill" from an old photograph. Does anyone know what font this is or is this mostly a custom one? It seems familiar but can't pin it down. I recreate it but wanted to try to find a match first.

Would be greatly appreciated!

We are bidding on a project for a historic building and the client would like to have a wood background like the attached mockup. I was thinking something 2" thick or less and I found a product by Wensco called "AllWood" sign blanks. Just for the material alone, at my wholesale cost they want...

Need to know what font the "Magnum" is. I thought for sure I had this one going through my list but can't seem to match it. It's some type of gothic isn't it? I know I have seen it and used it before.

I'm bidding a large frosted vinyl install that will be just sheets of wet applied 8810 Oracal Frosted on glass. No cutting or design, just rectangles. I've worked with many different brands of frosted vinyls and films before but not in a large quantity and not something that's so basic as this...

Who makes a good outdoor translucent paint for back-lit signs? We are refurbing an existing back-lit fiber glass sign and removing all the old paint with paint stripper, which is taking it off really clean and quickly. Does Matthews or One shot make a paint that would be good for this? The...

So we printed and mounted 17 4'x8' adhesive prints to a customers supplied PVC. My question is, do we charge just for the material we used or the labor to mount it as well? Normally I provide the boards and everything so just trying to see if the labor would be relevant here.

This is an indoor sign and will be made of 3mm brushed aluminum, cut out letters, then mounted to 1/8" clear acrylic so the inside of the letters can still be used. We are wanting it to stand off at least 1" from the wall but no hardware can be seen on the front so won't be using stand offs in...

I just bought the new Graphtec FC 8600 64" and have been extremely pleased with it, especially the perf cut feature. This has expanded my capabilities by doing actual cut through decals and retail stickers instead of outsourcing them for die-cutting. So, my next step is to try cutting magnet...

I'm working on a big project for a medical facility that will have very large wall murals throughout the whole building. They have railings around all the walls to protect form wheel chairs and carts, etc. I've used Avery 2611 on several projects but not one this large, so just wondering if this...

We have an 8'x10' site sign that will be 4 total pieces(4-4'x10') as it's shaped in an "L" to be viewed from two vantage points of the interstate. It's 1/2" primed MDO with graphics applied to the face. I'm going to use 3 -4'x4'x14' treated posts plus some 2'x4's on the sides for support similar...

Hi, I'm in need of someone with experience in the sign business that can hit the ground running and get it done. Located in Des Moines, IA. Must be extremely detail oriented, weed, cut and trim vinyl and various signs. Installation skills would be a bonus. Looking for someone that could work...

I have a client that's interested in having some films made for screen printing. He asked if I could print them on my HP latex. I have experience printing films on a mimaki for a company I worked for about 10 years ago and it worked great. What brand of material and settings would work on the...

So I got a job to cover some extremely large windows in an art gallery with a removable block-out vinyl that will only be up for 3 months. They want it dark enough so that they can show a video exhibit. I did this a few years ago for them with a 5% window tint but they didn't think that was...

Looking for some custom metal sign brackets that would attach to a brick building and hold a sign or signs sized approx 20"x30". Have several new businesses going into a large new building and they all want custom blade/bracket signs. I have a metal fab guy I use sometimes but thought I'd try to...

I have a project coming up for a fishing tournament in Texas and they want their logos applied to the interior carpet of the their fishing boats. What type/brand of adhesive vinyl and laminate is recommended for this type of use? What's the average life expectancy of this type of vinyl?

Looking to buy the MacTac B-free frosted in the smaller 24" roll size. Fellers only has it in a 54" roll and won't slit it down. I need this for one job so I only want to get 10 or 20 yards in 24". Can anyone refer me to someone that could sell me this much? Thanks!

I printed a large graphic for a backlit cabinet on Orajet 3850 translucent. Should I go with Oraguard 290 cast or 290GF optically clear? I see the manufacturer recommends either for the 3850. I don't have the optically clear in stock and don't want to order it for one job. I have the regular 290...
