My customer wants a quote for double sided 18x30 real estate signs that are printed two up, folded over and riveted to make an envelope. Then, they slide over a steel frame. I've never heard of doing this, and would suggest a simple double sided 18x24 bolted onto an R-Frame. They sent a link to...

I have printed a couple 21' long banners for a furniture store lately, and there have been problems lining up the grommets with bolts placed at odd intervals on the exterior wall. Using the measurements our salesman took from the top of a ladder with arms extended way over his head, I placed...

I had a customer who wanted a sandwich board with dry erase panels and a metal frame by this Friday. Our salesman, naturally, said "no problem". Meanwhile, I have run into brick wall after brick wall trying to get these in stock. Most vendors I've found that sell metal A-Frames can't ship them...

I have a customer who wants a 150'x4' banner to hang on the exterior concrete wall of their car dealership. First of all, is this even possible? We print all our banners digitally and typically finish the ends with banner tape, but will that be enough for this size banner? I wonder if the...

The guys who sold us our Roland VP-540 just informed us that our factory warranty expires in a bit, and gave three options for a year of extended coverage $995: Silver Plan covers parts, labor & travel $1,595: Gold Plan covers Silver + 2 preventative maintenance visits $2,195: Platinum...

I got a sample roll of this, and couldn't find a media profile on the Roland or Sihl website. I used the "SP-M Matte PET" profile at high quality and got lots of banding in my print. Anyone here have experience with this film?

Anyone tried printing eco-solvent ink onto fluorescent vinyl? I Have a customer who wants bumper stickers which will be dark green with fluorescent yellow lettering in the center. I figured that I could probably find some color mix that looks like dark green on fluorescent yellow vinyl if my...

I'm finally getting the hang of mounting graphics, trimming substrates and not having to throw away 1 for every 2 I get right. Do you guys have any suggestions for how to package these beautiful signs so they will still be beautiful when the customer receives them? A few examples: 1) Foam...
