So much for spoon feeling. In my first post I said Being 24" tall, I would say this is a pretty small sign. I wouldn't think it warranted a flex face. The face is not something they plan to change out on a regular basis. Tex is the only one that picked up on quoting a poly face. In all your...

LOL Time for his ba-ba Gino, its ok if you don't know the answer. I see by your post count, you're the guy that has to say something, even if it doesn't pertain to the question at hand. I've actually heard of this. Its called "SignForumOCD". Its a compulsion where the afflicted HAS to see...

A live one!!?? You have no idea Rick. PS Thanks for the helpful reply. From what I've read of your post, "helpful" is a good description for you. That is so "SPOT ON" on all aspects. Not your first Rodeo either. Whatever Enola wants, Enola gets? Ya, whats the problem??? ;) Sticking...

by Gawd, I think you may be onto someting!!!! I think I'm going to start "Lettering Up" all my signs.

I sure appreciate the response fellas, but this isn't my first rodeo. I sure don't mind admitting that I have limited experience with flex face retainers, although I have been in the sign industry for quite a few years. My question was about ACCESSING, and the different types of flex face...

I have a question on flex face sign cabinets. A customer contacted us with some specific requests for a new electrical sign. Size is 20 ft x 24" high to fill a specific area across the front of their building. She has specifically requested we do a flex face. I'm uncomfortable with quoting a...

Good Job Fred. I figured my smart a$$ reply deserved a search thru my fonts (to no avail). I did try though 20 minutes I shall never get back.

I can't help with the fonts, but what did that "A" do to piss all the other letters off? When you figure out the font, set them down for a talk and explain how they must all get together and play nice.

It is indeed a UV flatbed (no reply on the inks) Signs were coro, and they were multi color. Everything disappeared pretty uniformly. LOL

It must be a UV printer then. I'm positive the vinyl prints I get are from a HP latex (she made a big ta ta when they got the new printer). I assumed the flatbed was a latex. My bad. Yes, THIS. You can barely tell you printed on them. LOL. I mean "OUCH"

• NY • North and South. Both have almost disappeared in 6 months • I never pass unless on the interstate. ;) (don't know, but the prints were a rich color originally???) • HP

Can I assume the vendor is using a different machine/ink if this isn't happening to prints on vinyl? Here I was blaming the substrate, rather than the process.

The results look like they were printed with our old designjet with dye inks and left out in the sun. To mention, I've had quite a few vinyl prints from the same vendor without a lick of issues (for many years). Other than the substrate, I don't know what she may be doing different. Thanks for...

I had some coro signs printed (full color artwork) with a HP flatbed printer. They faded completely away in about 6 months. I'm talking the image completely disappeared. So, is this normal?

You have 3 total inches of retainer, but now you only have 1/2 inch keeping that face in. Make the face 1/2" less than the cabinet on the height. And on old cabinets, clean the track. You will have a bunch of gunk in there. ewwww Get the retainers back. Those don't go with the face.

no idea's huh? The ones that need the center grommet are only a small portion of this order. These 150 are going to one customer. The rest are going to the distributor. I'm going with the small square of material with the grommet thru both. No adhesive. At the wholesale price we're giving...

Well Mr. Wright, You were Mr. Wrong. I wan't defending Ben, although I can see why you would think that. I was only making a point that some things aren't quite as they may seem. Perhaps Ben is also a 6'7" body builder and ONLY weighs 305. He would be pretty skinny compared to my brother...

This is what they look like. Grommets are enlarged for your viewing pleasure.

So we have a contract to produce a boat-load of Drone/Survey targets. The size is 48" x 48" and will be secured to the ground by means of regular grommets around the border using long spikes. In addition to the hem grommets, They would like to have one large grommet or HOLE in the center of...
