It's comments like this which keep me from posting anything on Signs101..... I'm not a freakin "broker", I've been in the business for a long time (our business is 18 years old this year) and I've been a member here since 2006, just asking for a little advice and now I'm a "hack" or a "broker"...

I would have liked to measure the face, but as you can see in the photos, getting to the face is not as simple as removing a piece of the retainer. The retainer attaches around the face, then is mounted into the cabinet, so the face of the cabinet and the retainers are flush (retainer sits...

I'm actually referring to the size of the pan face itself. The measurements that I took are of the outside of the cabinet and not of the sign face. Just trying to see if there is a way to determine the size of the faces from these measurements. Thanks!

We need to replace some rather large pan faces for this center pole mounted cabinet. The sign is a little larger/higher than we typically work on, so we are going to produce some new faces for the customer and hopefully sub the installation to another shop. I was able to get a bucket truck on...

My thoughts as well.... if a customer gave me a $1400 deposit on a project, I'm pretty sure I would pester the hell out of them relentlessly to keep that project moving forward. I cannot see myself letting it go for more than a few months, but 5 years??? Also, regardless of what everyone else on...

Here is ours... With a little help from Neato, this is the logo we currently use.

Figured I would post an update for anyone who has this same question in the future.... I bought a macbook pro 13" a little over a week ago. I also purchased Parallels for the mac ($80) and also a copy of Windows 7 to install within Parallels. I am not using this laptop for production, and the...

Thank you for the reply. I would like to hear from someone who has run the Windows application on a Mac using bootcamp before I make a decision.

I have been running Flexi Cloud on my PC and have been using Flexisign for design/output for years. I am in the market for a new laptop and would like to be able to run flexisign on it. I have been looking at possibly purchasing a new macbook pro, but after researching, I am not finding any...

Thanks for the replies! I ended up ordering some .030 polycarb from a local plastics supplier.

Do you have a source for this material that you would share with me? Thank you!

I'm looking for a transparent semi-rigid material that can be rolled up. My customer needs a small quantity of signs made that would be approximately 16" x 30", with a one-color vinyl graphic applied to a transparent/clear substrate. I would just use clear acrylic but the customer has requested...

Do you have the option in your rip to "over print"? When printing translucent or backlit, I usually just overprint 2 times (from Versaworks), lays down twice the ink, much more opaque. Never have had to align prints together or anything using this method, just takes twice as long to print.... I...

Same thing here.... and to top it off, cannot seem to connect to production manager, times out every time. I do not have time for this..... I am now in the process of completely uninstalling Flex from my computer and re-installing..

Thank you for the replies. Though I will still keep looking for the right media for this type of job, I think that I will just sub the order out at this time. Royster is right, I can get them printed and shipped to my door for about 2 cents more per label over what my cost would be using even a...

A customer wants some labels printed for gallons of apple cider. The label stock they have currently used is just glossy white and the adhesive grabs on really quick. I tried a piece of vinyl and the adhesion is pretty poor on this surface. I am hoping to print/cut these on my roland vp-540i...

so very very sad to read this... I used to frequent these forums much more often about 5-6 years ago, and always admired his character... and talent. Such a talented individual that I can honestly say that every piece of his work I was able to see influenced me a bit, and helped me improve my...

I called Fellers this morning and the roll is getting exchanged for 3951ra. I have also sent photos to Oracal, I will post back their response to this. Thanks for all the replies!

I understand what you are saying, I've used the GCVP profile for cast materials for years without a single issue. As I stated above I even used the official Oracal profile still yielding poor results. I will use the PGVP profile Monday and give it a shot, but I'm pretty skeptical at this point...

Thanks for the info. I have already tried several different profiles with this media since starting this thread earlier today and have had absolutely no luck with any of them, including Oracal's profiles for 3751ra and 3951ra, they look like total garbage. Hopefully Fellers will let me return...
