  1. This printer or software just #*&#*^# hates me!! Whats this???

    Your IMG links are to your own hard drive or something. You didn't upload the images using the forum "upload a file" function. It looks like it's overprinting a transparent black on top of the trees.
  2. Penetrating Roof Line

    Looks to me like the white angled roof stuff was an add-on done because the original roof over the arcade leaked. If so, when it was built, the sign would have been easy to mount on the parapet wall. I agree that to put a sign up will require roof work after the sign is installed.
  3. ID

    Actually it has an autotraced sort of look.
  4. Discussion Solvent and latex?

    The main advantage for latex printers is that the print is ready to use, laminate, or cut immediately after coming off the printer. There is no required drying or outgassing time. The disadvantage for latex printers is the print quality.
  5. What the #$&% is up with new notebook computers in 2019?

    Although I could be classified as a computer hobbyist, and once upon a time I played games on computers, I have no desire to go home and do more sign work at home. And when I am with my wife and family, I don't want to have a laptop on my lap nor a phone in my hand. The time I have there is...
  6. Alternative to Gemini for dimensional letters?

    I never leave any doubt about anything when I place orders by email with Gemini, and interestingly enough, I never have problems with getting the order wrong or having it shipped the wrong place. Suck it up and realize that you are the one who screwed up by not specifying the shipping address...

  9. Union Sign Shops? Strikes? Whats the difference?

    There used to be a sign painters union. I learned signs in a shop where the owner's father had been a journeyman sign painter out of Kansas City. In those days the union was where you learned to hand letter and were tested to prove your ability. In other shops you learned about neon and...
  10. Epson S80 White ink longevity

    I would have thought that orange isn't used to make red. But it is. M+O, with very little yellow. Obviously that will depend on the RIP how it decides to mix the inks. But we were using a canned profile from 3M to start with. Now we're using profiles we made ourselves and have no problems with...
  11. Epson S80 White ink longevity

    Whoever wrote up that piece of falsehood obviously never had to replace a year and a half of sign production because the orange faded in just a few months (laminated), making all the red turn pink.

    Restaurant is Harrington Oblique.
  13. Need Help window perf failure

    If you are cleaning things before applying vinyl, use isopropyl alcohol, not denatured. Also, for cleaning windows, you can use acetone. That's what window installers use. However with acetone you have to watch for acetone damaging things it runs onto, like paint and plastic. The same is true...
  14. Outdoor flag material recommendation

    I don't think you'll get 2-3 years durability from a printed or sublimated flag. Flags like that could be sewn with appliques and would be the most durable.
  15. Gunslinger Font

    Myfonts.com has 10 of his other fonts for sale, but not Gunslinger. Maybe it's discontinued?
  16. Epson S80 White ink longevity

    Orange ink starts fading in 3-6 months outdoors. It makes all your reds turn pink. We have only used the white and silver on motocross decals because of the longevity problem. Bikes are only outside on the weekends when they race and at practice; the rest of the time they are in a garage or a...
  17. Epson S80 White ink longevity

    We use an S70 with white ink. If Epson gives it a 6 month life, consider that an optimistic figure.
  18. Need Help window perf failure

    It's obviously a repellent coating. Best to find out from the owner what they had put on the windows.
  19. jv300 Prints not lasting

    It's probably the orange ink. It only lasts a few months outdoors compared to the other colors which last 3-5 years. Make profiles which only use the C, M, Y, K, Lc, Lm inks without using orange when you do outdoor signs.
  20. Question Not quite sure what it's called.........................

    I've never seen a double sided photo paper for large format. Is it made? Seems like that spec is intending something run on a color printer or copier with sheet stock.
