We have the Stimpson 405 grommet machine. From Stimpson's website, it appears as though the 405 can also be used for ring snaps. We have a client that needs to attach a banner to a aluminum frame and I'm thinking snaps might be the answer (I've set up many portable video screens where the...

In light of recent events on this forum and Cptcorn's great post regarding copyright laws, I thought it might be a good idea to revisit sources for stock photography, illustrations, and other graphics. On Cptcorn's thread someone even recently mentioned Photobucket which is no different than...

On a couple of box truck wraps we've encountered some small square reflectors on the doors. My search here turned up lots of advice on removing them but I'm wondering what tape you use for reapplying a reflector or emblem after the wrap is installed? I saw 3M 4941 foam tape in the Fellers...

Today I received my Hexis HX2000 solid wrapping cast sample (silver). I was anxious to see how it installed so I took it out to the parking lot and installed a piece on the fender of a black Chrysler 300M. From what I can tell it is easy to work with and finishes nicely. The adhesive is not...

I have searched my fonts and tried WhattheFont but don't think I've found a match. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Allen

Was at Lowes today and saw a local vending service's wrapped mini-van in the parking lot. I had seen it around town but never up close. I am new to vehicle wrapping and have only complete a handful of wraps, but I try my best to learn proper wrap techniques. I guess I don't understand why...

I am designing an 8.5"x11", trifold brochure in Photoshop CS4 and would like to email a PDF proof to my client. I have tried many different settings on the Photoshop PDF output and have even tried to reduce the size of that file in Acrobat but seems like everything I try leaves me with a file...

Good morning. A few months ago someone shared a Pantone PDF file that can be printed and then trimmed to fit into a small three-ring binder. I downloaded the file but now can't find it. I printed this our on our old printer but would now like to print it on our new printer. Can someone point...

We received our GS6000 on Monday and installation/training finished today. My initial impression is that the print quality is nothing short of amazing and the RIP is straightforward and easy to use. We upgraded from a Seiko Colorpainter 64s and I was floored when comparing a couple of the same...

We have sold our Seiko Colorpainter 64S and the buyer insists on using a freight company for pick-up and shipping. This means the printer will be powered down for several days which is not ideal. Can someone please give me some pointers on the best way to prep the printer for shipping? I'm not...

This week we printed our first roll of Clear Focus ClassicVue (36") and encountered a problem. As you can see in the pics, the left side of the media did not accept ink well in some areas and it almost looked like someone had wiped something across that side of the media. The only consistency...

I know Eric has received much praise on Signs 101 but today was my first experience and I have to say thanks. He took a logo from a scanned business card and converted it into a wonderful vector file. Today was just one of those days (spent half of my day fixing our office HP laserjet) and...

Greetings. I have a stock icon that I am attempting to print and cut (see pic). I'm much familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator is currently whipping me. So, the icon is several layers/objects, which are grouped but I'm not sure how to put a cut line around this group, to make a cut out of...

Any takers? Thanks.

A customer requested I add a 2010 calendar to the back of her business cards and I happened to come across Jim Degerstrom's website. He designed a basic calendar and is sharing it for free. I emailed him to make sure it was okay to share in my design work and he said as long as I'm not...

We have a local classic rock radio station that is interested some banners and possible some other products. For the design, I'll design a background and add their existing logo. They mentioned possibly wanting to incorporate band names/logos of the music they play. I'm concerned about...

I have misplaced my accessories CD for my FC8000 and need the ARMS test files? Does anyone know where they might be available? I've search Graphtec's website but found nothing. I also found a link from a previous post here on Signs 101, but that link is no longer active. Any help is greatly...

Lately our Colorpainter 64s has been dropping ink, especially on banner material. Seems like there is no consistency as to the cause. Really frustrating when it happen on the 10 ft. mark of a 12 ft. banner. I changed the head height to "high" on my banner profile and they may have helped some...

Just wanted to give a public thanks to Bill and crew at Wyld Grand Format Imaging. I was talking with Mike at Merritt about a couple of large banners but when it became apparent that I didn't give them ample time to complete the job, Mike recommended Bill and Wyld GFI. Bill went above and...

I have searched for a product that will cover the edges of Coroplast and haven't had much luck. I have seen the Alumacor end caps in the Grimco catalog and I'm wondering if there is something similar for Coroplast? Either something like that or possible a rubber type edging. I just had a...
