We're about to get a digital printer but have no laminator yet. Is possible/OK to apply laminate by hand, at least on smaller jobs? Thanks.

I'm looking into a used Mutoh 1304 and wondering whether I really need the take up reel and why it would be good to have. Thanks..

I'm having a very hard time finding a vendor for something similar to the signs depicted below for a medical building. These were actually sent to me from ASI, but I'm not happy with their pricing, there lead time is 4-5 weeks(!), and they are made outside of the US. Most of the way-finding...

Looking for a good, reputable vendor for new suite number signs and a directory for a medical building. Thanks.

I'm considering getting a MUTOH 1204. Is the maximum print width of just less than 48" an issue? It seems it would be, since so many substrates come at 48" width. Also, it seems that the 48" or 50" print vinyl and banner stock is not that common. I can't understand why MUTOH would make a printer...

We just built this. It's 10'x4'x3'.

I see the HARBOR SALES delivery guy a couple times a month. Should I tip, and if so how much?

I'm looking for a 10'x4' cutting mat. I was gong to get the XTREME from fellers, but there's a four week ship time and $45 shipping charge. Seems wrong to me. Any recommendations?. Thanks.

I'm just trying to decide if it's worth it to order a grid (or print one eventually) with my new cutting mat. What do you use it for? Thanks..

Really, what is it about the sign business that makes people think they can talk you down in price? You don't do this with the mechanic, or with a contractor, or plumber, etc. If I say the sign is $35, why do they waste my time and say, "can you do it for $30?" Sometimes people will actually...

What's the best way to attach a 1/2" or 3/4" thick MDO panel to two standard 4"x4", white, PVC posts? I considered U-Brackets from harbor sales, but they seem kind of ugly with the bolts and everything. I considered routing a channel, but the panel would be kind of loose in there.. any...

I have a 2'x3' piece of aluminum. I attempt to cover it in a solid piece of vinyl for a background color. I spray down the aluminum and vinyl with rapid tac II, lay the vinyl over the aluminum and start squeegeeing the water out with a felt covered 7in squeegee. TONS OF BUBBLES. Any advice is...

I have one guy working for me, and he's becoming a big problem. Besides newspaper ads, which can be very expensive, where can you recommend advertising a part-time sign manufacturing/install job? And what's a reasonable starting hourly rate for someone with little or no experience (northeast NJ)?
