As part of an architectural outdoor sign system I need a bunch of logos printed onto a custom green-tinted reflective film for long-term outdoor use. I remember the "old days" when we would screen special 3m translucent inks onto engineer grade and get a pretty nice effect. I have tried some...

Anyone have any experience with the smaller machines? I am looking at a Brother (Br 1290 UV printer) which is approx 3' x 4' print area and would fit into my workflow. Does anyone know who actually manufactures these machines?

Difficult grey areas The client believes that they own the rights to whatever art they paid for, but of course that is wrong. The artist owns what he has created for his lifetime... or longer... or as contracted. That's where the issue greys out... implied contracts. The only time this ever...

great responses! Thanks for all the interest... guess this is a "button" issue. There are a lot of misconceptions out there about who owns what regarding design for hire, but I am not surprised to see sign folks just letting the issue go and moving on wherever possible. My one last caveat on...

I billed them, and am still billing them for the design. But as I understand it, that doesn't mean they can just have someone else produce it. I don't want to see my design show up without my involvement, and i certainly don't want to see my design in a competitor's portfolio.

I just need some input from y'all. I have been working for a few years with a client to design their primary ID. It is an evolving design and we are still tweaking the prototype sign. I was just informed by their facilities person that they have decided to have a competitor duplicate my design...

OK--- what could be more mundane than a STOP sign or a Yield Sign? When we need something elegant, we use a really nice 2" x 2" aluminum square tube and 1/8" aluminum panel for the sign itself. I am just wondering if any of the Signs101 folks has found or come up with anything even better? I...

go back to the original. select all and under type convert to outlines. select all. under object, expand appearance, then expand all fill & stroke. select all go to pathfinder window and then click middle option on bottom row and expand. select all go to toolbox and in the fill & stroke box at...

I have done it myself, and I know plenty of us are messing around with it... but is there anybody out there offering finished (2-sided) aluminum cans with say routed push-thru letters and LED lighting? If not, does anybody have any advice on how to start making them? How thick do they have to...

ProMax Commerce through AMAZON... Just bought 24 rolls for 1.68@ Same stuff- 2050 3/4"

The sign is actually in pretty good condition... the craquelature being small and even. I am thinking it might be worth a try to clean it well, dry it out, and then wax it as recommended by Jillbeans. Clear coats worry me because they do tend to cause the paint to lift. Any recommendations on...

I am looking at a large (2' x 20' or so) plywood painted sign that actually looks GREAT... with all the paint crackled and nicely patina'd. I could probably sell them a new sign, but I don't see why I couldn't "save" the sign with the right techniques/products. Is anyone here up to speed...

just screw it! We use #6 x 1/2 inch stainless round heads. Very attractive!

nobody has any ideas????? I have recently tried gorilla glue, which works if you weight it and let it sit overnight--- but leaves a stain on the face of the banner. Remember people--- I am asking about non-woven fabric --- an inkjet media that is unique, and not vinyl banner.

missing the point... it has been up indoors over the weekend... the hem tape does not stick well to the non-woven fabric, so it lets go.

My guess is that 25,000 off the top went to 3-martini lunches for the clients!

I have tried all the hem tapes, and the TAKIT from Fellers works great for a while... then it just lets go. On the web there is some talk about iron-on hemming tape... Does anyone know how I can make a small pole pocket in non-woven? Sewing would show and would also be a real pain. Also...

There are some grey areas to consider First of all, it is always an issue when the designer is not the manufacturer. It is also an issue if the manufacturer is not the sign company of record... and if they did ANY of the design. If I design a sign and sell it to a customer, I don't care who...

i am not familiar with HDPE material! is it available as a mesh banner cloth?

A couple of large avenue banners (30" x 70") hang together vertically on a cast pole using avenue banner hardware. They are printed on both sides of mesh and have been sewn and configured every possible way, but usually within any given year they simply can't handle the wind in this location and...
