I don't edge seal it. It's not like real gold, which requires edge sealing.

Our locality recently started requiring a contractor's license to get a sign permit because they moved sign permits into the same department that does building permits. Really kind of stupid when you are talking about swapping sign faces in a sign, or putting up a 4x8 on 4x4's. And when you do a...

We use R-Tapes outdoor series (rated 3 years) and just tell the customer it's the cost of doing mirror chrome lettering. If you're going to have to be the one to change it in the future, always layer it on an intermediate vinyl outline. (We use Avery 750, usually black). Makes removal so much...

The best ones we've found are in the Wal-Mart garden department.

You're right, I don't know what I am talking about, except what is posted above in the thread about the customer would have lost his mind with a higher quote using translucent black. That implies that the quote didn't include it.

Print each panel with at least a 1" bleed all around. Start with the center two panels. Mount the print on one, being extra careful to center and level it. Then put the board next to it together with it on the easel or table, butted up to it and level. Mount the print, being careful the...

Your thread about finding cheaper ways to do things than what used to be industry standards.

That's exactly the lesson to be learned here. The customer was obviously given a quote before the signmaker knew what he was talking about, and the signmaker has to decide whether to eat crow or eat cost.

No magnetic vinyl. If you're trying to make a custom dry erase board, have a sheetmetal shop make you a 4x8 of galvanized steel, print on white vinyl and laminate with a dry erase laminate, stick it on the steel. It will be expensive by the time you get done. especially if you have to figure out...

Is that a cast vinyl with a regular clear non-air-release adhesive? I've always wondered why such a product isn't available.

Signmakers that don't use Ronan or One Shot or Chromatic? I guess Gino is right...

Compacta Bold Italic

There was no picture attached.

Translucent black is for matching the sheen, thickness, durability, and lack of shrinkage of the other translucent vinyls it is used with. Think yellow letters on a black background. Translucent vinyls are different from regular opaque sign vinyls in more than their light transmission...

Well you just scan it into your computer and push a button, don't you?

I think the idea is that the beveled edge would just be the color of the metal to act as a border.

Gemini has some ways of getting the images onto a plaque. https://www.geminisignproducts.com/en/plaques/plaques/precision-tooled-plaques/#options The bevel is not the issue, because they are just asking for the edge of the metal to be angled or chamfered. It's not raised. However, since they...

Wish we had customers that would spend that much getting things. They all want something that looks like that until you tell them how much. I really like those.

We are starting our second complete office rebrand for Century 21 offices. The C21 Masterbrand Guidlines and C21 Signage Guidelines contain everything you need. They are pdf files that the Century 21 Broker can get for you. The logos themselves are available on their website as noted above...
