  4. Jarhead on gatorfoam...

    I have some free Jarhead and I've printed a few things and mounted it on gatorfoam...so far so good, does anyone see an issue with longevity with it? I haven't had anybody come back saying it has come up off the foam, yet, but I'm wondering what kind of risk would be associated with that. Any...

    Hey Everybody... I can't quite seem to pinpoint this one. I know I'm gonna say "duh" as soon as someone IDs it correctly. Eyes too tired from looking at too many fonts today. Thanks, Ben
  8. Sorry for all the requests for stand help, but here is another...

    Okay, I'm here once again with a stand question, and also an aluminum blank question. I usually sell real estate signs using blanks from NGlantz that are the standard 18"x24" aluminum sign blanks and the standard real estate sign frames. Got a client who sells for Reece and Nichols and I guess...
  9. Cutting gatorfoam...

    Hey Everybody... I have a customer who wants a foam sign with printed vinyl cut in the shape of an egg. Roughly 2ftx3ft. I've only cut gatorfoam in straight lines with a razor knife. Should apply the vinyl and then cut the shape with the vinyl adhered to it, or cut the gatorfoam to the shape...
  10. A sign stand for foam board like this...

    Anybody? I can get the standard stuff at good prices, but can't find something like this anywhere. Black finish would be preferred. Customer requested this size. Sign stands seem to be the hardest thing to find custom. Thanks for any info... Not to scale, BTW :)
  11. Print to Mutoh from Illustrator...

    So I've got it to where I can select the ValueJet 1614 from the printer list in Illustrator. How do I access the media profiles? Can't seem to find them. Do I have to set the defaults in Production Manager (Flexi) so that when I finally hit print, it prints with the right media profile...
  12. More stands needed...

    I just posted about a stand I needed for a client, and I've got another one I need to find. There are those 22x28 and 14x22 poster board (gatorfoam, foamcore, etc.) stands that are pretty stand-ard (I couldn't help the pun, it's been a slow day). I'm looking for something a little narrower...

    Howdy from the Kansas Plains! I've got a client that wants to have a banner stand in his pickup truck bed when it is parked at events. It's an F-150 and he doesn't want to wrap it, but he wants to be able to advertise with a banner in the bed of the truck and I'm not sure what might work for...

  16. White or Clear Acrylic backlit sign...

    Okay, so here's the deal...I want to make sure I have all my options laid out before I dive into my first backlit sign. It's all about materials.

  17. Foamcore vs Gatorfoam...

    Okay, so I understand the differences in Foamcore and Gatorfoam from a materials standpoint, but what's really the difference in durability? I'm printing a full color digital print on ad-back vinyl and mounting it to gatorfoam. Foamcore is so much less expensive, but since I'm just using it...
  18. Backlit Film behind clear acrylic...

    Okay, I've been searching around for backlit sign options for weeks. Do a ton of banners, window perf, ad-back vinyl to rigid substrates and have a client who has a backlit sign in place that is faded and wants new panels. It's 4ft x 4ft. I was going to print full color on translucent vinyl...
