we have multiple venders we use this way we always have a back up plus certain venders don't carry all the materials we use (don't put all your eggs in one basket) we use fellers, N. Glantz, tyrrell tech, nazdar, harbor sales and S & F. overall they are all good but between the 6 suppliers we...

you need to find someone with a good knowledge of illustrator and photoshop then teach them the sign business. i went to school for graphic and commercial art and they touched lightly (very lightly) on signage. truth of the matter that was so long ago i don't even use anything i went to school...

this is the closest i could find. from the sign bracket store. don't think it's two frames welded together, if it is then they did a great welding job. if it needs to be the exact frame good luck with that

i would UV print on pvc. could also look at metal photo process on metal, aluminum if you were to use reflective would that be hard to read with a flashlight shining on it? i have done some reflective signs and when the headlights hit them you can't read the damn sign

might be time to hire an assistant. that would definitely help lighten the load and lighten the stress. even if it's just someone who can answer phones and or deal with walk ins. take info down and then you can get back to them later. that would give you time to get physical work done and not...

Stacey, unfortunately the mental strain will always be there but if it makes you feel better that will be where ever you work or whatever business you own. i will say being healthy physically helps your mental health as well. it still can be annoying but if you are busy then you can tell the...

that definitely seems out of the ordinary. we recently did some back-lit signs with 1/4" polycarb 12ft and 24ft lengths all came rolled up with no issues. i think you would need some extreme circumstances to get it to snap like that

thanks for all the input

so for those who use a thicker vinyl with no lam, what do you squeegee with? no issues with the print scratching?

we recently demo'd the roland LG and looked pretty solid. we currently have the LEJ we are looking to replace. the LEJ was great and owes us nothing. definitely a work horse but slow as hell. the LG is faster, also has cut option which is great and has new color combos available. don't really...

tired of Adobe Illustrator? :oops: :roflmao:

polycarbonate or aluminum will work fine and hold up

is this for indoor use or outdoor? if it's indoor then that poster stand would probably work ok, don't have any wind to knock it over. if it's out door maybe it will still work but have to test it out, might have to build some sort of extensions on the base so it won't tip

well at least there is still a chance :notworthy:

2007 stumbled across the site doing a google search for some info and signed up right away. although my attendance has dropped off a little the past few years i have always found the 101 group both helpful and humorous. hopefully i have contributed enough to balance out the help i have received...
