  1. New Printer Research

    I don't think no banding with latex is true. You should see my competitors' signs done on latex (though the ones that use old Rolands are even worse) With the Epson, the red ink and orange ink still isn't listed as having the outdoor durability that the CMYKLcLm have. I use an S70670, and what...
  2. Suggestions Solvent to Latex

    The improvement isn't so much in the prints, though they are sharper/clearer/brighter than 10 years ago, but in the solvents. 10 years ago you couldn't stand to be in the same room with the printer more than 5 minutes. Now it's no problem. Also the ink dries much faster now. Most of my...
  3. The elusive 24" x 30" realty sign frame

    I buy the 18x24 and 24x36 sizes 5 at a time and stock them. Don't see why you couldn't do the same with the oddball size. If you have them you can sell them. If you don't, you'll never offer them. Not sure what the per piece price is on 5 of them, but it's probably around $20-25. The price from...
  4. Mimaki JV150

    Might be a piece of lint stuck on the edge or a printhead. Collects ink mist in heavy ink areas, then brushes it onto the print.
  5. Paper Floor Graphics - outside.......

    Considering that this type of art is typically drawn in chalk, I guess paper that people tear up and take with them is about as durable.
  6. DTG worth it?

    I don't have a DTG, but I've never gotten a DTG shirt from any vendor that I was happy with. I've been embarrassed to hand them over the counter to my customers. When I go to trade shows the vendors hand out beautiful DTG t-shirts for teddy bears as samples, but I have yet to find a vendor that...
  7. What could cause this?

    Thicker material will accentuate the problem. Thicker edge for the water to grab. Vinyl lettering has to be washed with the wand held away from the surface, and straight down on the surface (i.e. at right angles to). It's a washing technique-dependent problem, not a material problem. If the high...
  8. Purchasing a business.

    Forgetting all the unicorn rainbows and solid financial advice being tossed back and forth, and going to the actual question you asked in the beginning, "What would you pay for this," here's what I think. This business is being run by a couple who are doing it like the ones I first went to work...
  9. Need Help Need some help please!

    Old Block from Letterhead Fonts
  10. The elusive 24" x 30" realty sign frame

    Just buy the 5 from Bull Steel and keep the other 4 in inventory. Add this size to what you offer realtors.
  11. The elusive 24" x 30" realty sign frame

    You can get one from Amazon for $55 with "free shipping". It comes from buildasign.com, and they list it for $38.55 not including shipping.
  12. Question BLOOMING

    It might mean the ink isn't fully outgassed (dry) and the ink solvent is clouding the clearcoat, since it only happens on black.
  13. Question Beginner

  14. Corel Draw 2018 Laptop Build - ????

    When I finally go home at the end of the day, I'm done working. I don't want to continue to do work, and neither does my wife. I do use a desktop computer at home too, for email, and for working on my Bible study lessons for church. I have a laptop, but I hate sitting on a couch to actually do...
  15. Font ID Please

    The M in the logo looks like Kunstler (or Kuenstler) Script that has been stretched a little wider and stroked to make it match the W.
  16. Gemini Resellers so cheap and fast??? WTH

    You'd be surprised. The last couple of years I have done more Gemini installations of letters the customer got on their own and then called us to put them up. I wondered how they were getting them--they would have them in a Gemini box, unopened, when I would arrive. The customers are always...
  17. Looking for Berringer Aged Font

    I think the moderator post was in reference to the OP, who asked someone to share the font with him/her.
  18. Corel Draw 2018 Laptop Build - ????

    Personally I hate working on laptops and I hate their unreliability and inability to be upgraded. Although my workstation only has a 500GB SSD, I actually store all my sign layout files and photos and clipart, etc. on a server, so if I had to have all of it on one computer, I would need a 1TB...
  19. Gemini Resellers so cheap and fast??? WTH

    I suppose rather than speculating we could ask Gemini what's up.
