Thanks for the input. I do agree that this is a big job, however, after doing some more research and the suggestions here, all with talking to my plastic distributor, I think the rolls are the right way to go. I just have never used poly in rolls before so I didnt know what was to be expected...

ahh. I was wondering that. The plastic distributor I go through says it comes coiled and they roll it out and cut to length. Ive never tried to coil it back up. Didnt really think you could.

How in the heck do you handle a 24' piece of Poly?? I think I need a bigger truck.

Doing a little searching on the internet, found that there are little connectors, kind of like h channels that slide on the side of the sheets and then you slide the other sheet into the other half? Anyone use these, impressions, distributors? Thx

Hi all, Im quoting a job for a restaurant with some cabinet signs with extra long (to me anyways) polycarb. One is 25" x 18', 4' x 24', and 25" x 29'. I think its pretty silly to use sheets in that length, and was going to use sheets in more manageable lengths, 8' mostly. My questions is how...

and AND, have a pic of a GIANT AXE ready to fall. :omg:

Font help plz. Cant find this one, it looks fairly straight forward except for the S Thanks

Yea, looks like any sheetmetal shop could make them for you. Is that stainless or aluminum? Hard to see in pic.

I saw this on another post. Do you print on the front and back? Can you explain mirror print on second surface.

I printed on clear media then applied to White substrate. I really have to play with the density on my machine.

Hi all, I'm creating a new sign for a customer. He has the typical pylon sign with many businesses sharing the space. His spots consist of 3 slots. I came up with a nice layout to cover all the spots, but in my design, created in Corel, I have added some shadows behind the text which add a...

Just wanted to add one more bit of info. The alignment of the heads is fairly easy. The service notes explain how to do it. Basically it prints a pattern and then you adjust the printhead alignment with a screw. Takes a while, patience is handy, but pretty easy.

Kerning is way off, no corner as stated above, and, its missing something on top, I dont know, just something. :banghead: Ah, nvermnd, its the White Box Ca bin et Store. They sell cabinets intermittently.

I had the procedures to do this, and Im sure you can find it on the web, but the above is correct. UNPLUG the machine!!! If not you risk shorting your boards and expensive repairs. Also, make sure when removing lines and the head itself, keep boards and wiring covered with a rag or plastic to...

Looks to me like you just bought Signmaniacs logo design. Congrats. :clapping:

Dropped one out of the back of my truck on the express way a few weeks ago. Stopped the whole damn express way, while i jumped out to get it. :) Luckly no one was hurt. Dont be lazy and think it wont fly out of a pickup, it will!!!! Tie it DOWN but not like this

I dont know about everyone else, but I have this all set up in quickbooks, or a spreadsheet I continually work on,and add items through the estimate feature. I charge $60 hr on all labor, I work from home. And have listed all prices of material, + 30% markup. If there is a friend or great...

I never though about that. I guess there is a place for any and all colors, depending on the situation. ill take that with me.

Thank you all for your answers. I did learn something. :smile:

I guess what I was asking was, is there a quick way to determine which color you can start with. Yes, I know I can put colors up there and see what looks best. But, I couldnt help but wonder if there was a way to pop up a color wheel, and say, "ok, green for the wall, on the opposite side is...
