Greetings! Can anyone recommend a supplier - I have an inquiry for a quantity of sequentially numbered stamped aluminum tags, the kind of thing they mark power poles with. A supplier north of the border would be preferred, but any suggestion welcome. Thanks in advance!

Greetings, I have contact our distributor for info, but thought I'd ask here as well. Looking to upgrade our computers - currently running XP but looking to Win7. Does anyone know if we can run our Omega/Composer software under Win7? Omega version reports as 2.1.0.22, Composer shows as...

Hello, We have been given by the customer, an acrylic faced channel letter with a wide plastic trimcap return, to replace a broken letter on a customers sign. The new letter has just red acrylic for the face, but the old ones have a black coating of some discription making the red acrylic...

Greetings! Our VP-540 has suddenly started pausing and cleaning part way through a print. I've checked the "periodic clean" setting, and it is set to "none" (default). This issue seems to have developed just in the last couple of days. The print does resume after the cleaning process, but it is...

Greetings, Does anyone have any tips regarding cutting out simple flat panels of 1/8" Sintra? I'm finding if I use an up-spiral bit, it lifts the material off the bed in places and can cause the shape to come away, often hitting the bit and ruining it. If I use a down-spiral, the kerf fills up...

Greetings! Back in 2010 we purchased a computer from a local company no longer around. At the time, it came with Win7 pre-installed but we asked for it to be downgraded to XP primarily because of existing software. The downgrade was, if I recall, offered by Microsoft at the time when Win7...

Greetings, My supplier hasn't got back to me yet, and my customer needs some info quickly. Does anyone have an approximate idea as to how much a single-sided aluminum lit sign cabinet at 36" x 96" x 8" complete with plexi face and fluorescent tubes/ballasts might weigh? Thanks!

Hello, This is the tagline for our area Co-op. Does anyone recognize the font? What the font can't find it, and my usual collections have turned up zero. Thanks in advance!

Greetings! Does anyone have the font "PMN Caecilia 75 Bold Oldstyle" and would be willing to typeset two words for me, converted to curves? I don't believe this violates any rules on Signs101 since I'm not asking for the font itself. If anyone can help, I need "GROWER DIRECT" in all...

Greetings! We are producing a digitally printed wall graphic on Oracal 3628 with 210 matte laminate. It will consist of four vertical panels. My question is, would you put an overlap between the panels, and if so, by how much? The graphic is going on to semi-gloss painted drywall. Thanks! Graham

Greetings! We have been asked to print a wall mural for a local museum. The 'wall' is MDF currently painted in flat latex. Just wondered what was the favorite vinyl/lam for this type of application - and should I get them to repaint in a semi-gloss?

Greetings! Can anyone suggest a supplier of the LED bases to make up Acrylic edge lit signs? The ones I've seen seem to be based on an aluminum extrusion with the LED's inside and a slot along the length for the acrylic panel. Thanks in advance.

Greetings! I recently posted about issues we are having with jobs bombing out part way. Versaworks reports "Printer not connected". It occured to me that our Roland communicates via our network - i.e. it's on the same network as our other computers. Is it conceivable that network traffic could...

Greetings! We're trying to process the job from hell at the moment (bad files, odd blemishes, etc) - the latest "hiccup" is that the printer stopped about a third into the job. The RIP has apparently finished and sent the entire file, but the printer just shows the "Busy" light lit and...

Greetings! Having just watched an episode of Mythbusters where they test the indestructibilty of spray-on truck bed liner, I was just wondering if anyone had tried it as a hard coat for foam signs?

I really need to learn to use Illustrator. We are predominantly Corel based, but every now and then need to use Illustrator on a file. Everytime this happens, it takes me three times as long to do anything due to lack of experience in Illustrator, and I end up wondering why it all seems so...

Greetings! After reading the thread about Patty's Christmas Party (hehe) I was thinking about the whole "offense" thing. To my reckoning, it is impossible to cause offense - you can only take offense, thus it's really your problem not the person perceived to cause it? No?

Greetings! Having difficulty understanding how this works. On the face of it, an object placed on a master layer (e.g. a background image) should appear on every page? The problem is, while this appears true, it always seems to be at the front of each page, effectively obscuring everything...

Greetings! Does anyone know of a supplier of this type of magnetically receptive material in Canada? I can't seem to track down a distributor this side of the border. We've used tin before, but I think the roll type material would suit us better. We did contact Magnum Magnetics Canadian...

Greetings! A question - if I set a color in a file to rich black (e.g. C30 M20 Y20 K100), do I need to set anything in Versaworks to actually produce this? Do I need to set it as a spot color to ensure the CMYK breakdown is maintained? I know the RIP will change colors based on profiles, etc...
