  1. Banner material on Latex HP 260 - Someone tell me what i am doing wrong.

    I rarely ran less than 10 or 12 passes, but we weren't looking for speed, we wanted great print quality. I'm sure you can, I just never personally did it. N. Glantz will get you a sample roll to try out, just ask.
  2. Banner material on Latex HP 260 - Someone tell me what i am doing wrong.

    If n glantz is an option in your area, try their bebanner house brand banner . It's cheap, but the only brand I could get consistent, quality print from in our latex. And it's cheap, which is exactly what you want in a banner.
  3. 18" by 9" Car Door Magnets

    When I price magnets, I always price them at my 12x24 price. There is no waste at this size, think of all the waste on a 9x18. You can have any size you want under 12x24, but it all costs the same.
  4. Anyone know a source for these?

    Yeah, 4ever doesn't have the bottom plate, but that's super easy to make.
  5. Anyone know a source for these?

    The sign bracket store (hookandlattice.com) and 4Ever Products both have these. 4ever is like $12 iirc.
  6. Outdoor Chalkboard or???

    R Tape makes a chalkboard vinyl that you can apply to whatever substrate you like. I've used it a few times on food trucks and it works well.
  7. Ditching cable TV

    We ditched Comcast for Directv about 17 years ago and have never looked back. We also have the Genie, whole home DVR, which is really nice. Lots of on demand features and the true HD picture is fantastic. Honestly, DTV has the best HD picture out there, hands down. Family members have dish...
  8. Seasoned Signmaker/Production Manager looking to move on in Pittsburgh

    I am looking for a new job in the Pittsburgh area. Particularly South or Southeast of the city, but will consider any location in the area for the right job. My portfolio is www.mattvasile.carbonmade.com and I have attached my resume. Both include all my contact information. Thank you.

    I'd stay away honestly, not worth their BS. I checked out dollarphotoclub and they have the same stuff, plus more. Their vectors are much better actually.
  10. Laminate Changes Colors?!?!

    So, you used a cheap 210 calendared laminate for outdoor signage and you're shocked it's changing colors/failing in a few years? 210 is a short-medium term economy film. 290 over cast media is meant to be outdoors for long term. 210 is a 4 year product, looks like it's at the end of it's life...
  11. Printing Backlit panels

    If it's simple 2 color with text, I'm cutting translucent vinyl every time. Printing isn't always the best way to produce.
  12. Perferated reversve print and stick is it possible?

    There was a reverse perf product that I saw at the Orlando show in April. I didn't pay too much attention to it because it's not latex friendly, but I think it was Neschen that came out with it. Try searching their products.
  13. Looking for input on sign / advertisement frames

    Definitely snap frames. If you can't get them off the shelf in the size you need, Signcomp can sell you the extrusions cut to your specs and assembly is a snap.
  14. Need NEW vinyl supplier ASAP...any recommendations?

    Another vote for N Glantz or even Pioneer. Both stock Oracal and are not only great suppliers, they are right here in PGH. Order with NG before 9am and it's on a truck delivered that day.
  15. Looking for a transparent styrene?

    .030 Makrolon or even better .020 velvet lexan. I prefer the velvet lexan because one side is smooth and glossy, the other has a matte finish, perfect for display graphics.
  16. Critique my portfolio

    Should I just change it to something like "portfolio"? I was gearing towards what I can do for you, my potential new employer.
  17. Critique my portfolio

    This is for me to get another job in another shop. I have no intention of starting my own shop, just too risky these days and I'm enjoying not being buried in debt. Everything is designed by me, sold to the client by me. Cabinets and channels are not fabbed by me, everything else is...
  18. New owner means NEW EQUIPMENT! Need some advice...

    Latex for sure. So easy to maintain, ready to Laminate and install right off the machine. I'm running a 25500, I'm sure the newer latex machines are even more impressive.

    Whatever you do, DO NOT use www.Imageclub10.com Those guys will constantly cold call you selling CD bundles of the same stuff that you can download on their site with your subscription. Then, they will often just send you said CD's and automatically charge your card for them and they will not...
  20. Critique my portfolio

    Lot of input. Thanks! I will definitely take note. The brush script is part of their "logo" and I could not get him to lose it for the longest time. The hdu is from 2 years ago, the post and panel from this summer. You see the bs is gone on that.
