  1. looking for 5x8 or 5x10 aluminum substrate (black)

    I have never had any luck getting anything but white in sizes over 4x8. I am typically told I have to buy a whole skid/pallet of 5x10 to get it. You could try Harbor or ( I know they carried black aluminum but only in .063 thickness and not sure how large the sheets were, I had them cut me 100...
  2. Laminator is my new best friend!

    I am always amazed when I see sign shops hand applying pre-mask or vinyl to substrate that fits into the laminator. I started out in a Sign-A-Rama shop and they taught us how to pre-mask with the laminator on day two of training. Now I only hand mask very small pieces. I run a 24" Daige...
  3. Accepting Purchase Orders?

    I do not take credit cards, most of my business (80% +) is from management companies who use nothing but POs and have no credit card available. I had a credit card machine for about a year and found that less than 3% of my customers paid with it so I ditched it. I find that most people and...
  4. Accepting Purchase Orders?

    Most importantly I would like to have in writing that payment is due 45 days from date of invoice and that late charges will be applied every 30 days after that. Aside from that I am not sure what else I might need. I was hoping someone else might have done this and could make suggestions.
  5. Accepting Purchase Orders?

    I have been accepting POs since I started 5 years ago but have never had any kind of formal 'contract' stating any conditions with using POs. I have had 2 customers lately that are late in paying and am thinking of making anyone that wants to use a PO sign some type of agreement as to the...
  6. Sign installer needed Columbus, OH

    Looking for a sign installer in Columbus OH capable of installing a FoamCraft sign (www.foamcraft.info) where two poles are installed in the ground and the sign is slid over the poles. I can handle the permits but just need someone to install. Sign will measure 10' x 4' and will be ground...
  7. Mounting to brick

    I am trying to quote 100 signs that are made of .080 aluminum that need to be mounted to a brick wall (sings are 20"W x 8"H). Anyone know a way to mount these other than drilling the brick and using anchors? Would something like construction adhesive or Liquid Nails be sufficient in holding...
  8. Compact Printer?

    I need it to print direct to substrate. The 30" x 30" is just the max size of the material I would be printing to, not the floor space I want it to fit into. I like the Mutoh but would like to know if there is one that is not so wide.
  9. Compact Printer?

    Yep, that's it. Now, anyone have any experience with any hybrid printers? Any pros or cons you care to share?
  10. Compact Printer?

    No, the one I seem to remember was like a cutter (standup) and had someway of holding the material and moving the material back and forth while moving the print head left and right.
  11. Compact Printer?

    I am looking for a compact digital printer. I don't have a lot of space in my shop and am not looking to print to full 4x8 sheets. I thought I had seen printers in the past that moved the material rather then the print head which meant less floor space taken up by the printer. I know I will...

  15. Sign Warranty?

    I had a customer ask me about the warranty for some signs I recently did for them. I told then before installing that the vinyl was guaranteed for 5 years but didn't mention anything else. I am wondering if anyone has a generic sign warranty statement that you provide customers and what all...
