I saw something recently... might have been a new plexiglas finish or formulation that would allow it to be flatbed printed without warping or causing the problems it has been causing. Wondering if anyone has tried or is using this tech, and if they are doing outsourcing. I have some clients...

Hi - I hope somebody has a trick up their sleeve for me. I needed to change the dates on a mesh banner (do not know where it was produced) so I sprayed on some Krylon fusion to block out the old date (just a light mist) and it just will not dry! Been almost a week now... ANYBODY! What can I...

just a short rant from the "moldy figs" among us. As an up-to-date graphic designer, I must have illustrator cc and photoshop cc on hand. That said, I do not USE these programs, because they offer me little or no added functionality to illustrator cs6, and cs6 runs on Snow leopard, which can...

Hi Everybody- I need someone to print our wallpaper jobs, and I need it done at a price I can resell with a profit. Any recommendations? I usually have dreamscape suede printed with latex, and unless that has gone up in price a whole lot, I am getting some incredibly high quotes. Right now I...

Great advice all! Thanks. I wish I had kept up my brush skills, because this would be a slam dunk with some one-shot and a mahl-stik... 20 years ago that is! lol meanwhile, these are 2" letters! I need a mask that will peel clean! I like the look and idea of spraying, but think it will will dry...

I am hoping that someone can help me with a project coming up. Going to cut stencils of 2" san serif font, then paint gloss black through the stencils onto glass doors. The lettering needs to be very glossy and very very thin (to match some existing doors nearby) and I am very worried about...

THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN ALREADY DISCUSSED, BUT I AM JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE SIMPLY SHIPS OFF T-SHIRT ART AND GETS THEM PRINTED UP LIKE BANNERS???? I always say no... but I could use some extra income if there is a reliable short-run printer that will allow me to do 2-3X markup, without having...

Over 40 years in the sign biz.... and sometimes it is hard to believe the kinds of crap we have to put up with. lol

Thanks for all your help! This is pretty much how I saw it as well... just hoping there might be a new breakout material or process. Thanks

As long as possible- they want 5-10 years!

I am told that i can use the 3M 480C to do a building exterior (wood & concrete) and that it will last. Anybody have any experience with this? Also, is there a cheaper approach to getting photos onto exterior wall and making them last a long time. I am working with a photographer who we do...

I need to install some 6 foot wide by about 5 foot tall window perfs. They are not laminated, and bleed on all sides. Also 6 foot by 2 foot perfs almost on the ground. Best way? Wet or Dry? What kind of squeegee? There are 4 of each. What to charge for the installation? Any help would be...

What did you get? My tech says buy a canon ifp 8400 because nothing ever goes wrong? Others say get an hp, but my tech guy says the current hps are a real headache due to electrical issues. Sheesh... Glad to have a 5500 up & running!

Thank-you all!!!! The tech just left here and I now have a 5500 up and running! Lucky for me I had an old parts machine in storage... and it turned out that it was suitable for refurb using the ink tubes and "live" items from the freshly dead printer. Lucky too, I had just ordered a belt to...

mostly indoor- I have a laminator and do some short term outdoor stuff. I am looking at the z series and do not see take up reels, and the z5400 for example, says it print up to 66" length (?)

I need my 5500! I swap out every type of media, a lot of scrim banner, adhesive bond, poster paper, microporous, non-woven fabric. I print very long things and all from illustrator. I don't see any take up rolls on the new z-series. btw- what is an hp Carries?

My 5500ps wont initialize... something about printhead cleaner path. Will get tech here, but they are losing interest in it. What are others buying to replace the 5500s? I would like something similar, so I can continue doing what I am doing. Any advice? Thanks

careful with used laminator!!!!! Some laminators have the heat elements inside the rollers, and when they reach a certain temperature the rollers will become puffed and distorted, if they have been treated badly or overworked. The problem is that this may not be evident when the rollers are...

thanks Fred! That is exactly what I need... now anyone have an even simpler one? Here is what I did so far...
