  1. Need vendor for custom aluminum blanks (or premade)

    Have a need for a small quantity of custom cut aluminum blanks suitable for vinyl application. Simple oval shape in heavy aluminum. Any recommendations? They need to be an oval ~ 24x48. Am open to premade ones as well, just haven’t been able to find any.
  2. Quick question on Fellers banner tape

    Just didn't feel like the Orabond had the high-tack of other tapes we have used. Typically we order banner tape from Grimco, but I need to place an order with Fellers for ink today, so thought we give them a go. Thanks for the feedback!
  3. Quick question on Fellers banner tape

    Anyone use banner tape from Fellers? Which do you prefer the TAKIT or TUFFTAPE III? They also carry the Orabond but we do not like it.
  4. hmmm does Microsoft spy on us?......

    Yes and Yes MS does spy on us. Yes, that is a classic scam and you'd be surprised how often it works.
  5. Giving away the farm/Sign shop..... Very Scary

    I won’t discuss sign pricing in this open forum, but I can say we would be higher than your prices on both items. On the MDO, we pay about what you pay for 2 sided, painted (and that’s when its on “sale”). Glad others can get it much lower, but the sole supplier around here has us by the b***...
  6. Which OS to get???

    We chose Win 7 Pro because of the built in copy of XP for older SW compatibility. We still love XP tho, because I don't know about you fellas, but our computers are the lifeblood of the business. EVERYTHING here is dependent on them running stable, day after day, hour after hour. Quoting...
  7. Which OS to get???

    Here’s a fact, every other consumer OS Microsoft puts out is s**t. Windows 98 – Good Windows ME – Crap Windows XP – Excellent, Rock Solid (still running on all but one of our machines) Windows Vista – Ugh… Windows 7 – Pretty darn good Windows 8 – Dog Poo We can expect when Windows 9 comes out...
  8. St. Louis sign supply vendors

    I know about R&J have done a little with them. N Glantz was what I was trying to remember. I've noticed Grimco has become much more touchy-feely lately, contacting us more, and that's good. It was just last time when we needed to order about 80 sign blanks they were way higher than Barco...
  9. St. Louis sign supply vendors

    Need to order substrate and trying to keep Grimco honest. Isn't there another rather large sign supply vendor that recently opened in the St. Louis area that would carry 4x8 corro, polymetal, etc.?
  10. "Big Check" pricing

    Thanks guys !
  11. "Big Check" pricing

    So we recently had an order for 10 of those big checks used at presentations and such. I am struggling with the pricing. Usually these things come in as one off orders. Don't know about you guys, but we hate those types of jobs. Same setup, same printing same everything except mounted to Coro...
  12. Hi-res photo source for long banner

    Any leads on a source for high-res photos appropriate for a 3'x16' banner? Outdoor scenes is really what we are looking for. Also, there is a dude on here that sells some kick-*** plotter blades for Graphtec. Anyone know the fellas name? I have it somewhere but be darned if I can find it.
  13. Viewing yellow nozzle check

    Thanks for the tips !
  14. Viewing yellow nozzle check

    Hey how do you guys check the yellow on your nozzle check pattern? It is extremely hard to see. The fella that installed our printer had a little light that made it easier, if I recall. Usually if all the others look good I just assume the yellow is OK too.
  15. SGIA Las Vegas

    No real vacation in almost 2 years so this will be a welcome break. 5th time in Vegas, but first time I will stay downtown for a couple days. Really looking forward to that as I love the downtown vs the strip (except I do like the Casino Royale)
  16. Substrate suggestion

    Was out of town. Thanks for the replies guys. I'll prob use PolyMetal.
  17. Substrate suggestion

    2x3 digital print mounted outdoors, inside a display case. Originally mounted it on 3mm PVC with disastrous results (Multiple warpage as the sun hits it). Any suggestions on a cost effective substrate for this application?
  18. Recommendations for best lam for use with Big Squeegee

    I have been fighting a roll of Oracal 210G. It will *not* release with the BS, just folds over and causes headaches. It is finally almost gone. You fellas have a favorite lam that will release well with the Big Squeegee?
