I've got an initial very rough idea of a sign for a local company who has reached out for some ideas. At this point it is essentially a footing with a cabinet, and a fabricated steel logo attached to that. The cabinet would be wrapped to create a wood look. Originally they wanted actual wood...

Are there independent tech's for HP flatbeds in the Pacific Northwest? Any that come with a recommendation from someone who's used their service? We're toying with what extended service option to add to our flatbed just out of its first year, and looking at all options. If there was an...

Where can you find Avery vinyl by the yard. I only need 1-2, but everyone is requiring 10-50 yards! Thank you!

I created some labels for trash cans, printed on IJ180 some with graffiti proof laminate some with 8518. Eco-solvent inks from an Epson GS6000. I was concerned with some of the decals, as they were a mustard shade of yellow. Sure enough, the ones that are more exposed have faded, even though it...

Hello, Any time we try to use our roll-to-roll attachment on the FB700 to run banner we seem to run into issues. 90% of the time the media will skew up to 1" through the run of banners. This makes double sided banners problematic if not impossible. Does anyone have any tips/tricks that they've...

Our Seal 62 finally seems to have given up the ghost. Raising/lowering the rollers is a gamble whether or not you will get the correct height listed on the panel. Getting it lowered to 0" takes about 5+ minutes of trial and error. Really want to get something comparable as to not loose out on...

Looking for a shop that is able to produce the attached signage. White and dark brown applique lettering, clear braille, painted yellow base (1/4") with round over edges. Would be interested in seeing a quote for 3 pair. I'd prefer it if the work was a little cleaner than what is pictured... PM...

I've had a few quotes in the past requesting HDPE, or polyethylene. Not a material we typically work with, and not very common among our suppliers. For plastic that is similar in thickness (.055" requested) we would typically use HIPS, .060". Has anyone used both of these? What are the...

We've run a few large projects on .060" styrene, all have left scrap that is about 2-3' x 4'. We have a ton of these pieces left (not figuratively, a literal ton, 2000+ lbs) and I don't really know what to do with them. Recycling seems like a waste, but I don't think we'd ever use the waste on...

Either of these stand out to anyone? Terrible picture, but the best I have right now.

Our FB has been making a noise when the sheet is finished and the last foot or so is ejected from the machine. It sounds almost like a honk. Further examination leads me to believe that the alignment bar is slightly touching the belt, and when it quickly ejects there is a bit of resonance making...

We have an older (almost 10 years I think) Seal Image 62 that has been acting up lately. One of it's more frustrating new features is that when trying to lower the top roller it will get all the way down, then continue on up to the top, and then back down. It will just go up and down for 1-2...

I have a request for some ADA signage from a very good client of ours. ADA is not something we're capable of handling in house. Taking their request I was able to create a mock-up in 3D software, and they thought it was excellent. Now I just don't know how to produce it. Our typical vendor...

I ordered 10 angle iron a-frames a while back. We typically got them from a local sign supply company, they hinged at the top, handle on the side, and the faces bolted in. They were very sturdy. I ordered 10 for a project and opened up the boxes to find a-frames that feel about 1/3 the weight...

So I picked up a Grizzly shear for cutting aluminum, ACM, and others. I picked this model based on several reviews here. We unloaded easily enough (having a forklift is key there) and got the crate broke down. I was first a little surprised by the amount of cosmoline/grease on the piece. The...

Anyone know of a etched glass/frosted type vinyl film that has a gradient effect to it? Or, any way to create an effect similar? (see attached photo)

I'm looking for a trade vendor that can make custom ADA type signage. We're wanting something a little higher class than the Vista systems type signage. Anyone know of a good vendor that can create some nice signage?

Curious to see if anyone else is heat welding banners over good ol' banner tape. Last year we had a member of our team visit the SGIA show. One of the pieces of equipment he came back with great reviews was a Leister banner welder - the Uniplan E. We wound up purchasing one about a year ago...

Working on a project that requires we have signs that last 8-10 years on posts outdoors. Signs include items like maps, small logos, and PMS colors, making cut vinyl a very difficult way to produce. In addition, we will most likely need graffiti lam. The project lends itself to printing, but...

We had a client drop off a van for a full wrap this morning. Our team was cleaning it when they came to me and had me look at a few problem areas. Looks like there are several areas where the paint isn't even bonded to the vehicle. I've attached some photos, one of the areas is were they were...
