  1. Outdoor life of pre-painted aluminium sheet?

    You know the stuff, just like Grimco and AlumaPanel supply. I know it's a factory finish, but does anyone have any real world experience with how this stuff wears? Does it fade, oxidize etc..? Looking at .040" two sided color for an outdoor project to replace subtrate that was originally...
  2. Should I personally guarantee my commercial lease?

    So here is the deal, myself and my business partner form an LLC. We finally have our commercial space locked down, and get to the point of signing a contract. The initial draft of the contract comes in with my partner's name on it as the "Tenant" I promptly amend this to read with our LLC...
  3. Ditch the primer when it comes to Extira

    Been playing around with Extira board for a while. We use it in place of most MDO applications. I was having issues with being able to peel an entire sign like an orange when primed and painted with latex paint. The primer, and I tried several different flavors (Zinnser, J Cookes, Gripper)...
  4. Tiling a graphic for a cut across the width of your media?

    When I try and cut multiple copies of a single graphic in Flexi (Pro 8.1) it puts the copies in a row down the length of the media. This wastes a lot of vinyl. Is there a way to get it to tile the copies across the width instead? I swear I have done this before, but at the time the hardware...

  6. Muscles aka The Gun Show

    Before and after. The arms in the top version were the leftover elements from the original art supplied by the client. After changing the entire design I felt the arms needed a workout to increase their definition before making a sandblasted sign out of the artwork. A quick redraw in...

    Comics are a side passion of mine. I actually worked form Marvel, DC etc... starting back in 1993. However I got a bit disheartened by the direction the industry was taking over the years and did my last work on Iron Man back in 2004. I still want to self publish something someday and tell my...

    Flexi 8.1 I have "Advance after plot" checked in production manager and in the GX24 setup menu. But it cuts, then returns to origin no matter what. Any ideas?
  10. Anyone else lathe/mill HDU?

    Been messing with the stuff in one form or another for years now. Used to be used for pattern making, or machining prototype parts. Now mostly used for sign making, but I still machine it when making custom post tops and things of that nature. Still as big of a mess as always. I thin I need...
  11. Flexi runs choppy? crashes

    Both Illustrator and Photoshop run smooth as silk on my system. But Flexi is just, well choppy. Dragging item across the workspace is a nightmare. Sometimes they vanish while dragging them, so you cannot see where your placing them. I figure I may have a bottleneck somewhere on my...
  12. Minority Business Enterprise a factor in evaluating bids for city projects?

    OK, maybe someone else here can educate me a bit on this. We saw this while reading through the requirements for bidding on a job with the city. Does this mean if our bid is the same as a Woman or minority owed business they will favor them over us?

    Need to recreate the circular text.
  14. Can you combine ink cartridges in a jam?

    Basically, what I am asking is, if I have two ink cartridges that are half full, can I open them, pierce the bags with a large syringe to siphon out ink from one, then add it to another? Any down side to this? I would assume the small hole in the bag from the syringe could be sealed over, or...
  15. Logo design comparisons

    Trying to settle on one of these, or take any suggestions on tweaking them. Don't worry too much about color, as we may not have settled on that yet either.
  16. Trying to decide between SignVox and Estimate

    They both look good. Estimate Enterprise is $30 cheaper per month for the two network seats we would need right now. I know SignVox is getting some rave reviews at the moment, but I also can't try it out because they don't have a trial version. So I am looking for some input, especially from...

    Filed through all of my active fonts, but no luck.
  18. QR codes - please weigh in

    Here are my thoughts. I don't think they are entirely pointless, but I do believe a LOT of people use them poorly and just want them because they have seen them other places, or falsely believe it puts them on the forefront of marketing technology. What's the point of putting a QR code that...
  19. Font ID

    Have to create a duplicate sign for a client, and cannot find the font. Cheltenham bold condensed is close, but not enough. Thanks in advance:smile:
  20. Xerox 8265/Mutoh Rockhopper pro III - Nozzles missing

    When we checked this printer out before moving it to the shop here, everything printed fine. The nozzle check was OK, but not perfect when we got it set up here. After several cleaning cycles, and head soaks yesterday afternoon the nozzle check now has dropped TWO of the cyan fields. The blank...
