  1. Gerber Edge printing issue

    In the middle of a print, our Gerber Edge II started misprinting, leaving streaks all up and down the print area. (see photo attached.) It was printing 100% then in at a certain point it misprinted about 50%. It fails with all foils and all vinyls. I checked all the physical wiring...
  2. Mathews Paint

    and we use Matthews Aluminum Etching Primer. It works great, just like regular Matthews paint on other substrates. Ask your distributor for the part number.
  3. Anyone Using Qbo

    I'm quite curious how you graph320 removed the price. Not that I want to, but there are other things I'd like to change on a template and can't, so I'm looking for this "Additional Customization" menu choice. When I go to the List menu and choose templates (called "Custom Form Styles" as close...
  4. Anyone Using Qbo

    We switched from the Mac desktop version of QB to QBO at the first of this year. The Mac desktop never had work orders either, so we've had a workaround in place for years (decades actually). We use Estimates where we used to use "Pending Invoices". We start every project with an Estimate...
  5. Lease / Financing For Vehicle Wraps

    We use a leasing company that will lease signs on any amount over $1500. They are very easy to work with and will lease to new companies, which is great in our business. I doubt they will lease wraps. They are North Star Leasing.
  6. ISO - Super High Res Images

    print hog describes the process very well and I would do something very similar EXCEPT: I don't have or ever intend to buy the equipment he describes. I also wouldn't know how to use it well enough to rent the equipment. What I do know is a couple of good repro shops or photo studios that...
  7. Backlit Office Directory

    I never did. The client was looking for something too inexpensive to pursue.
  8. Thinking about setting up at a marina next summer...

    Our shop is in a marina and we do quite a few boats each season. You are correct that putting the same lettering on a boat is more profitable than putting it on a truck, but it's a very specialized business. I see a huge number of flaws in your proposal, starting with the fact that you...
  9. Font ID help

    That's it, and I have it and it works! Thanks.
  10. Font ID help

    Believe it or not, I own this font and did this boat, but can't access it anymore or remember the font name. I'm sure it's a Letterhead Font. ID please?
  11. Digital Menus

    We never heard of a good solutions provider and passed on the opportunity. Good luck to you in your search. Post your outcome here please.
  12. Is there a no overlaminate option to help protect digital prints from flatbed?

    As someone once said, "that escalated quickly". I'm a little afraid to add my two cents, but I read this thread carefully hoping for a clear answer, which I almost, but not quite, got. We buy our wide format prints from a few different wholesale suppliers. And one of our weak spots is...
  13. Poor Templates

    Marlene, they say the templates are made by hand, so some inaccuracy is unavoidable. Providing the drill pattern to them hasn't helped either, because they still mount or weld the stud holders by hand on many styles. It's particularly annoying because they charge $4.50 a letter for a pattern...
  14. Poor Templates

    We do a fair amount of high end work that includes dimensional letters, which we very often buy from Gemini. Is anyone (everyone?) finding the quality of their mounting patterns is not up to speed? We have no complaint with the quality of the letters, but are tired of dealing with poorly...

  16. Sail Flags that don't spin

    If you know of some other hardware to hold a vertical (2' wide or so by 10' high or so) mesh banner we'd be open to that also. I just need something that goes up quickly and doesn't get ripped apart by the wind.
  17. Sail Flags that don't spin

    Does anyone make a sail flag (tall, rectangular 15' high) that doesn't spin? A client wants to use them as directional signs, so they can't be allowed to spin (or they'd be pointing the wrong way at times). Does anyone have a source for these? I know the engineering is much more difficult...
  18. Anyone else having problems with Grimco Website?

    I thought you were going to comment on how absolutely terrible it is. I don't "hang" when using it, I just find it borderline useless to use. It has the worst product look up I've ever seen and the most useless search function I've seen on any site. This year's catalog has no pricing in...
  19. Mural?

    We've designed a sign for which we must build a "barn" door made of tongue and groove boards, on which we intend to paint a rooster and apply dimensional letters. It is shown in the attached illustration. We've never painted anything this large and are looking for advice on how best to...
  20. Diana or Dianna Script

    Does anyone know to get a professional quality version of this font? OPTI Dianna Bold Diana Script Agency Bold Whenever we show this among a selection of fonts, our customers (mostly for boats) choose it. But the quality of those two fonts for cutting is terrible. They're full of...
