  1. Squeegees - what kind do you use?

    I've got a wide variety, however I find myself using my Big Squeegee and Yard Tool the most, as I apply with those. Usually I go over the tape after application with any squeegee. I have a couple of 3m golds, a Mactac felt squeegee, a couple of squeeges with pre-applied loop fastener, and a...
  2. Another Font Id Please

    Looks like tempus sans to me.
  3. Can I borrow..................

    Maybe they had a brain fart and couldn't put one and one together, or maybe your dime was better than his!
  4. Best way to remove vinyl from a banner...

    Damn, I misinterpreted a step here and threw my customer in the fire, charged him for removal and ordered a new customer.
  5. QR Codes in the Sign Biz

    Done em for a few programmer friends and geeks, since that was my former career, I've been aware of them for some time. I've also noticed them finally starting to catch on too though, seeing them on people's shirts and other various places. I'm seeing it as a trend, but it could evolve into...
  6. Door Hangers???

    I've used Grprint for door hangers before. 4Over also offers them, but I think they might be a strange size and have a high minimum quantity.
  7. Does anyone else notice that this is not working or is it only me?

    Brawndo, it has what reactors crave, it's got electrolytes!
  8. Magnifying thingy

    "Desktop Magnifier" should get you what you want. They come in all shapes and varieties. I have a pretty fancy one that clamps to the table and has multiple lens and flourescent lighting. Mainly used it for electronic projects when I'd have to repair circuit boards or clean up coffee/etc from...
  9. Plastic Business Cards?

    Their website isn't near as neat and interactive as 4over's, however I didn't have any problems placing my orders with them. I came across them via other recommendations on this forum a few years back. Once logged in, you see a lot more options for their printing stuff, I think they offer...
  10. Plastic Business Cards?

    I've gotten some transparent ones from Grprint before, the material was called "Polyfrost".
  11. Advice fabricating plexiglass letters?

    I've only had experience with a strip heater for making little displays/stands, and had very minimum exposure to that. With thermoforming, be it little displays like I made, or great big fast food signs, generally the edge is rounded instead of sharp, so I'd concur with MikePro in that it is...
  12. spelling issue question

    At my former employer I remember a sign almost going out the door to a major casino (think it was the Red Rock in Vegas for their grand opening or something) that said "Complementary breakfast". It took some convincing on my part to the owners/graphics dept to fix it and the word they needed...
  13. What is Westerny?

    Give her something with cacti and Oklahoma font!
  14. magnet signs ate my customers truck

    I usually have a few copies of the second page from Magnum's customer care sheet as well as list the customer received it on an invoice+signed packing slip. I haven't ran into an issue yet with my magnets, but I've only done a few, been very leery of what could possibly happen. The...
  15. Wraps using Latex?

    Dunno his regular price, but might want to check out the following thread: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76656 and http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=76437 Think it's limited to premium members only, but you're premium, so shouldn't be an issue.
  16. Wraps using Latex?

    I've printed some smaller stuff on IJ180C with the L25500 and haven't had any issues and there are profiles for it for Onyx, dunno bout other RIPs.
  17. how to tell

    You can access a report in Service Mode that tells you how many printing hours the machine has had, as well as head firings, cleanings, etc. The service manual has the information on how to enter Service Mode, you'd probably be best trying to get ahold of Roland directly and acquiring the...
  18. Oracal 751

    I've never heard of it not referred to as cast, I just recall the one color in particular being at fault. Oracal does refer to 3551 as "high performance calendered", but I've never really seen them apply that term to 751.
  19. pasting problem

    For the latter problem with units of measure, in X3, you could change the measurement settings under Options->Rulers->Units, and then go to Tools->Save settings as Default. I imagine the same would be true or not far off for X4.
  20. Oracal 751

    I remember reading of another shade of blue (King blue) failing from Oracal before. Here's one link that I recalled reading in particular: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62088
