  1. We're in the market for an articulating boom lift but...

    Yeah, I saw that sheet. It is not, however, the code which is the law. If you follow that sheet the way it is written in every case, it would make billboard wrap installation illegal, all sign face replacement illegal, fluorescent light bulb replacement illegal, installation of banner frame and...
  2. Print on clear for lighted application

    Based on your description of the appearance, the printer is not using a layer of white, and is instead doing an increased ink density to compensate for the washed out illuminated appearance. As I guessed, the +30 he threw at you is a reference to how much increase in ink he's done. It's the...
  3. Question Squeegee issues.

    Actually, our experience is the opposite. We could never get the plastic ones to work well. They were too flexible and applied uneven pressure. With the aluminum ones, all our problems have vanished.
  4. We're in the market for an articulating boom lift but...

    What part of the regulations is that in? It doesn't say anything about it in the section on articulating boom lifts and platforms https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.453
  5. Am I being greedy??

    If they are ordering 10,000 printed pan faces from you, it would be worth asking your supplier if you are getting their best price for a huge quantity like that.
  6. Print on clear for lighted application

    If I had to guess, the printer is saying he is darkening the print by 30%. Unless he is doing cryogenic printing.
  7. Gonna miss Win 7, where to next?

    This small sign shop uses Windows 10. We were on 7, but updated several years ago. We have on computer that gets turned on occasionally to run a machine that only has drivers for Windows XP, but we use that machine rarely. It has meant upgrading software to versions that run on Windows 10, but...
  8. Channel letter manufacturer referral

    We use SignFab. We are in their "free local delivery" range, so that helps.
  9. Emergency vehicle reflective striping

    Look in the traffic section for 3M Diamond Grade Conspicuity Tape Series 983. Comes in white, alternating 6" red/white, red, yellow, fluorescent yellow, fluorescent yellow-green, 11" red/7" white alternating in 1", 2", 3", 4" and 6" 50yd rolls. They also have Series 963 but not as many colors.
  10. Emergency vehicle reflective striping

    You just buy rolls of reflective striping made for exactly this application. No printing necessary. Why do people think everything has to be printed nowadays?
  11. Need feedback on a sign from the experts

    The price difference between a sheet of true 4'x8' coroplast and a sheet of 1-sided MaxMetal is $34. The cost of vinyl, printing, and laminate is the same no matter what substrate you use. Your sign uses two panels. Therefore you are wasting your time asking a really stupid question over a $68...
  12. Recognize the font?

    Actually not Bank Gothic. Looks like it at first glance, but it's not.
  13. Question What kind of adhesive vinyl for foamcore mounting

    No matter what kind of vinyl you use, it will not be "slideable" or repositionable on paper foamboard. If the adhesive touches, it will stick enough to tear the surface of the paper. We use our regular calendared air release vinyl for prints that we put on foamboard.
  14. show me your small labels!

    If you think that sounds odd, the church also goes out periodically and spends the morning at a laundromat paying for people's laundry.
  15. show me your small labels!

    Yes, they do, as part of a ministry to widows, single mothers, and single women.
  16. Recognize the font?

    Plateia Bold
  17. Wholesale wallpaper printing

    We have done some Dreamscape before, but have very little call for it. But we can print that big on our Epson. We could do it if you wanted.
  18. show me your small labels!

    We just printed these static clings, which are 1.5"x2.75", on our S70670. Those red, green, and yellow letters are 4.5 point text. The words Baptist Church are even smaller. I didn't bother to make a new profile for the static cling, and it's a little overinked because the material doesn't have...

    There's any other way to hang signs from suspended ceilings?
