  1. Big squeegee

    I never bought a BS. Too much money for a board with half a pvc tube attached. I took a 4' piece of .25" ply, sanded one edge round, and wrapped in felt. Works like a charm and only cost me nothing, cause I used scrap ply. Maybe $5 in material. I use it to apply 4x8 sheets of printed vinyl...

    I know you were just playing, but now all I can think of is that "Only I can prevent forest fires".

  4. Sign cabinet framing information needed

    Hi all, I am working on a cabinet sign with several spaces for blank inserts. The inserts are slid into grooves in the cabinet. Very typical construction. What I need to know is where do I get the metal pieces that the inserts slide into. I have attached a pic of what Im talking about...
  5. "Feather" Banners w/Stands Wholesale

    +1 to these guys. I get flags from them and they are pretty nice for the price. And great to deal with.

  7. Client art workup

    There was a thread on here that had some examples of mock up sheets or art sheets that are given to clients with the sign artwork on them. A few people had some great examples, but I cant find it now. Does anyone know the thread? Thanks Jim
  8. Looking for some emergency advice

    I have to agree with the above post. This is a pretty easy job. Why you are having a problem where those creases are is anyone's guess. Maybe you applied the application tape incorrectly? Couldn't say. it they are creasing, just apply the rest of it peal off application tape and peel up the...
  9. Real estate post storage fees

    Morning all. I have a customer that wants me to store posts for them. Anyone do this and if so, how did you figure prices. I was thinking about maybe a $1 or $2 a month each. What do you all think.
  10. Encoder Strip Replacement Technique

    Wear gloves. Like someone else said. Start with head at one end, lay strip into groove in machine, slide head to left over strip, then pull strip over to connection point. Easier with two people but one can do it. Key is gloves.
  11. ELECTRICAL PROBLEM - Roland XC 540 ProIII

    Ok, just tacking on something. And you may have done it and just not mentioned it. When ever a head is only firing half, check ink level physically. Not to sound stupid, but I have made that mistake. Uh, duh, cartridge empty. Also, Always, ALWAYS, turn the machine off and unplug. So many...
  12. Magenta Head missing half on test print?

    Im not sure what everyone one is talking about. Your missing the entire right side of your print head. I would say there is an electrical issue. Half your print head is not firing, so either your board on your head is damaged, the cable is damaged, or something else electrical. Turn off your...

    Key word here is "USUALLY". Cover your own A$$
  14. LED Channel Letter Wiring

    Check the local codes in your area. If your not a certified electrician, be prepared. Probably first question they will ask you. :cool:
  15. Roland XC-540 printing blank

    Yes, it should print a test print. Unfortunately, it sounds like you damaged a card when changing it over to the new machine. Perhaps a power surge, or something. I would make a service call and let a professional take care of it. Where im at, south of Chicago, it costs me about $175 for a...
  16. Roland XC-540 printing blank

    Can you connect it to old machine again and see if the problem follows it?
  17. Input on Sign Construction Design

    UPDATE!! So, I told the builder that the sign was a bad idea, and didn't hear from him about that particular sign. I did some other stuff for him, and went to the site to install a few directional signs. Low and behold, he got another sign company to install the main sign, just like in the...
  18. Opinion on 2 versions of logo.

    My two cents. Your's is not bad. I think his has some problems. First thing I notice, or not notice, I cant read "universe", cant read web address (way too small and compressed). Also, his is very dark. Yours is clean, easy to read, can be used in color or black and white. And yours can be...
  19. help with font

    thank you
  20. Input on Sign Construction Design

    Thanks all for the feedback. I agree 100%. Not doable. The size, and time it will be installed made me think of engineering approval also ( wind/weight load). Plus the cost of a post that size is crazy and im sure very expensive. Thanks again for all the input. Jim
