We had a customer stop by today with a shallow extruded sign panel that had the graphic applied to the inside of the panel. How the manufacturer printed the graphic and applied it to the face has me completely stumped. The perimeter of the face appeared to be white polycarbonate or acrylic (or...

I have a customer that is ordering some rubber trailer tarps. They have a canvas-like plastic coated inside surface and a smooth rubber outer surface that vinyl seems to adhere relatively well to on a sample we were given. Has anyone used cast vinyl on a rubber tarp and if so, did it hold up...

I'm just curious who everyone is using as a supplier for their ADA compliance signage. Grimco only carries a small assortment of them and after 6 years in business we are at the point where we really need to get ourselves set up with an ADA wholesaler. Thanks in advance for any leads. Everybody...

I think this may have been brought up several years back, but I'm just curious how many music lovers there are here, whether or not you play music in your shop, and if so, what kind of music are you all into? Also, just out of curiousity, are any members into serious hi-fi equipment or consider...

I'm printing on Glass AdHere at the moment, but I occasionally get these lines when printing on banner material, also. I haven't noticed any problem printing on gloss adhesive media such as Orajet 3651 and 3951RA, only on these two materials so far. 99.9% of my print looks perfect except these...

WTF by jsmoritz2000 posted Aug 16, 2017 at 12:44 PM I've tried Find My Font, WhatFontIs, and WhatTheFont to no avail. Can anyone help me identify the lettering and the ampersand? Thank you, in advance.

Well, we've now been in business just over six years. What started as a hobby cutting vinyl decals and printing t-shirts has become not only our business, but a thriving one. We started with an imported vinyl cutter and a used Lawson screen printing press for apparel. Since then, we've grown...

Does anyone know if there is a vendor anywhere that sells Sihl canvas by the yard or in shorter rolls than 50'? Specifically I'm looking for Sihl 3609 Picasso Canvas Satin in 54" or 60" width. We have a job for a 60" x 36" canvas print and we only have the 36" material in stock. Any help would...

I know a single wire step stake is ideal for a 24" x 18" sign and will work okay up to 24" x 24". Common sense would tell me that given this information, a 36" x 24" coroplast sign could be held in place with two wire step stakes...or would a realty frame or other type of stake work drastically...

I would really appreciate any and all input that I can get with regards to a problem we are having with our Mimaki CJV150-130. I'm just wanting to get some feedback from other users and opinions before I speak with my technician. We purchased our printer/cutter a few months back and it's been a...

Jan. 2012 - We started our sign and screen printing business with a cheap import vinyl cutter and a heavily used Lawson 4 color/4 station manual screen printing press. We even dried our first t-shirts using nothing more than a flash dryer. Spring 2012 - Upgraded our vinyl cutter to a Roland...

Before I left the shop today, I had a good regular customer come by and bring me a piece of a broken sign face. I didn't get a photo of it before I left so I will post a pic tomorrow. The material appears to be approximately 4 mil corrugated plastic, but it's very hard and obviously brittle...

As many of you may know, Grimco and Orafol (Oracal) had a bitter relationship and Grimco was not able to carry Orafol products. Well, with a buyout of Proveer Canada and Grimco under different management these days, they will now be carrying Orafol products. I was notified of this earlier last...

I have a simple question. Can polystyrene as thick as .060" be cut easily enough with a razor knife? I would just be doing straight cuts, nothing too fancy.

I'm making a 4' x 8' sign for a real estate development using a sheet of Olympic Panel 1/2" pre-painted MDO. I will be applying an Orajet 3651 laminated print and applying a One Shot clear acrylic sealer over the entire print and edges of the panel. I did notice the edges of the panel have a few...

I searched the forum for previous posts and couldn't find anything on this subject. I'd like to know some tried and true techniques for giving cedar a grey weathered appearance, whether it be by staining, or treating with chemicals, or some other method. I've read about everything from baking...

We are a small sign shop that produces a variety of signs and we outsource things like post and panel systems and sign hangers. Because we are a two man operation, we typically only install post and panel signs, new electric sign faces, wall mounted signs, and typically nothing over twelve feet...

I've spent the last 20 minutes looking for a match for this, with no luck at all. I tried Find My Font, Whatfontis.com, and whatthefont.com with Briem Script Bold being the closest match I can find thus far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for an easy and economical way to punch radius corners into magnetic signs. I found these on Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/Round-Polishing-Chong-Leathercraft-10-40mm/dp/B010SGY0R4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1445013819&sr=8-6&keywords=corner+punch+leather Has anyone used punches like...

We ordered an aluminum powder coated post and panel for a customer with a pair of ball finials. One of the finials has a small crack along the casting seam and a weld blowout as shown in the photo. Personally, I think the hole should have been filled with weld and sanded smooth before painting...
