  1. Gino is missing...

    Once again, you are trying to defend the indefensible and cast inflammatory and defamatory aspersions on several of us. You have it exactly backwards on who is the primary instigator and perpetuater of the negativity, attacks and insults. Its an insult to the intelligence of anyone here who...
  2. Removing printed fleet wraps

    We find the "Vinyl-Off" product works best on really old, cracked vinyl and decals. Newer wrap that hasn't had the laminate start cracking too much or dried out, seems to just make a really gummy mess instead of helping peel off larger pieces.
  3. Gino is missing...

    How many of them were posted in unmoderated threads, where people are able to say WTF they want, you included? You act like Derby and I are the only people who have had issues with Gino. The list is a lot larger than you care to admit to now that you've adopted the "I'd rather join 'em, then...
  4. Gino is missing...

    That is ridiculous coming from a member who used to be a target of the person in question. Didn't you once start a poll about whether the person in question should be banned? You created the questionable thread, so if others are responsible for what the person in question posted, you are as...
  5. Removing printed fleet wraps

    Everything hinges on the quality of the material that was used, the exposure level and whether or not primer was used on the areas needing maximum adhesion. A good quality wallpaper stripper, plenty of elbow grease and a methodical approach works best. We've found that overrelying on...
  6. Complaining about attitudes on S101?

    It isn't so easy to do that when the main antagonists keep dragging people into their drama. I've had my wife dumped on, my past, my skills, experience, business acumen, political views, ethical values, every detail of my public exposure here, memorized and mocked, insulted, criticized...
  7. Complaining about attitudes on S101?

    I care as well. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my mentors and peers who unselfishly have shared their expertise, inspiration and professionalism and want to pay it forward. Acknowledging the lack of good training and vocational opportunities for those entering our craft, I want this to be a...
  8. Complaining about attitudes on S101?

    "Gosh, can't you guys just listen to yourselves once in a while ??" Obviously, after 30,000 plus posts Gino doesn't feel any compulsion to listen to himself or reflect on any of it. He is a victim in all of this and the countless members who are acting as the canaries in the coal mine here...
  9. Artwork/design pricing and deposit procedures

    He's got better things to do, like chase down all the wrappers and signmakers who never learned a thing about copyright infringement or what intellectual property means.
  10. Complaining about attitudes on S101?

    Maybe those folks lurking in the woodwork feel intimidated to come out and offer anything out of fear of being judged, personally attacked, condescended to, disrespected, etc.?
  11. Artwork/design pricing and deposit procedures

    Our approach is very similar to most others. If the client is coming to us strictly for a "laid out" one off sign, we include the "layout" time in the price of the item, but separate it out for billing purposes because in our state, labor is non-taxable. For that purpose, we break it down into...
  12. Complaining about attitudes on S101?

    I'm on many other forums from one's about my favorite musical groups to sports teams, to politics, art and multiple SIGN related forums and don't see the same people attacking, insulting, condescending to, patronizing, targeting, ETC fellow members and peers. Those types get weeded out...
  13. Question Customer refuses to pay, can I take his graphics down?

    Most civil courts offer mediation. If you have signatures, contracts, sales orders, signed proofs, any documentation you're on the right side of collecting. If its a franchise business model, I would only involve the headquarters in a very innocent way as to asking if the business in question...
  14. Question Customer refuses to pay, can I take his graphics down?

    What are the small claims court limitations on civil suits in Canada? It's usually $10,000 or less down here. Do you at least have some signed proofs, contracts, emails with approvals, etc.? Do have photos of ALL the completed work involved? Are they using photos of the gym with your work...
  15. Flatbed UV prints + Decals peeling the ink off

    We're a unique example because of still using a GERBER ION Solara printer which has a longer cure rate at a different UV wavelength, but our prints on coroplast can literally take scraping them with a fingernail and not leave a mark or flake off. We've used the Maribu Production Clear for...
  16. Discussion Where does one draw the line between graphics and a wrap?

    Now we're talking. Do you have a set of wrap magnets for helping with placement? I'm sure you know all this but if not, cut patches of magnetic material and use them instead of tape to hold your pieces in place. You should be able to slide your pieces a little here and there to get close...
  17. Question 3rd Party Gerber Solara IONx inks

    I found this: https://www.cureuv.com/products/gerber-solara-uv2-digital-uv-lamp?variant=29122671175&keyword=&matchtype=&network=g&device=c&adposition=1o1&keyword=&gclid=CjwKCAiA2fjjBRAjEiwAuewS_Z6nr2C-q25o2CipvqFcC0glxisPiWRj-wGsc1m6SBhunSzA5aTjKBoChx0QAvD_BwE
  18. Question 3rd Party Gerber Solara IONx inks

    I seriously doubt GERBER is going to do anything for anyone. They've washed their hands of the machine and walked away. I'm trying to figure out why Konica Minolta would take over producing the ink for them and then also just walk away, when they also manufacture the printheads. The printhead...
  19. Question 3rd Party Gerber Solara IONx inks

    So, what you've concluded is that the LAVAink conversion kit is the only way to keep running the printer? Has anyone tried getting through to Konica Minolta to see if they are producing the same formula under another name or brand?
  20. Discussion Where does one draw the line between graphics and a wrap?

    Way more time and material consuming to do it right. There is so much white space separated by a band of color here and there, text, bugs, etc. that runs across the whole side, that getting all your panels to align on that one big stripe takes some time as well as working into your deep...
