  1. Need Help Backlit and/or Dimensional Sign - help needed

    Knowing what size it will be really helps. You could easily get a custom shaped cabinet with a trimcap face for that size pretty inexpensively. Then just decorate the face with a single printed decal on translucent media.
  2. Gerber Ion Error 281??

    Here is the manual but it doesn't list errors by their number. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1191096/Gerber-Solara-Ion.html?page=5#manual Did either of you notice if the gantry is rising evenly when you load or unload material?
  3. Fancy Sign for an Eye Doctor's Office

    What about something like this? Powdercoated aluminum panface backer, ACM secondary panel and some dimensional letters. These are a bit deep because of the boldness of the typeface, but you could use a nice classy font like Optima, Trajan, etc. and give it a little depth, not not knock people...
  4. I HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED!

    At $15 per shirt, she won't be making much of a contribution to the cause.
  5. Need Help Backlit and/or Dimensional Sign - help needed

    I would suggest that you consider creating two separate cabinets to help on fabrication and maintenance costs. The icon section seems to dominate over the name section. If these are simple backlit cabinet components, I don't see where adding dimensional elements to them will really enhance...
  6. Tape or Glue for installing plaques

    Three vertical rows of VHB+LEXEL
  7. Question 3rd Party Gerber Solara IONx inks

    This company is located in Texas and is offering a plug n' play pouch of compatible ink for this machine. https://cuantek-usa.com/ The chinese supplier was a pain to try and deal with. I tried getting them to send me a clear photo of the ingredient list off the ink pouch to compare to an OEM...
  8. Question 3rd Party Gerber Solara IONx inks

    The printheads and circuit boards are probably the most valuable parts. Unfortunately, few people will buy the heads without seeing how many nozzles are out on them.
  9. Question 3rd Party Gerber Solara IONx inks

    Well, I suppose you could reverse the vacuums and turn it into a kick ass air hockey table. LOL
  10. Vacuum error troubleshooting

    Sorry for not following up on your latest discoveries. I'm going to PM you the name and number of someone who may be able to help.
  11. Question 3rd Party Gerber Solara IONx inks

    Earlier in this thread, an ink manufacturer from Texas shared his company info and news about them starting to manufacture the same formula. I've since received contact from him and the pouches look the same and the cost is about 60% of GERBER OEM ink. We haven't tried any yet, but most likely...
  12. Logo critique and advise please.

    I think who needs to chill out as you put it are those who engage in the art of personal attack and insult more often than the art of offering bonafide advice and constructive help to those seeking it. I and others offered bonafide advice and observations about the logo in question and the...
  13. Logo critique and advise please.

    Hmmm..... if I was entering this craft and trying to decide which path to emulate, do I follow the lead of a Dan Antonelli, a giant in our industry who has successfully transformed himself from a good traditional sign painter into a design/marketing/branding guru known worldwide, or someone who...
  14. How to paint onto PVC

    We lightly sand the edges of the letters and Scotchbrite the faces and then fog coat the first coat. You do have to wait a day to do the second coat, but it covers pretty well and levels really nicely. It creates a really nice hard finish that doesn't need any topcoat.
  15. Logo critique and advise please.

    That's hilarious! I'm not here to convince you or the other reprobates of anything. Just stick to the shallow end of the pool, while others engage themselves in our quest to improve our "industry" for the better. I guess the McIltrot brothers who have published"signCRAFT" magazine the last 40...
  16. How to paint onto PVC

    For a readily available, industrial grade paint, we've had really good results on PVC with this: https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/interior-exterior-paints-stains/product-catalog/sshpu/super-spec-hp-urethanes
  17. Logo critique and advise please.

    Yes, you're a marketing and financial genius but one who admits he can't design much. Make your money, hire others to do what you can't do and churn the jobs through your shop and have a great life. Some of us here are in the business of being signmakers and graphic artists whose primary goal in...
  18. Logo critique and advise please.

    I find it highly ironic and no coincidence that when people ask about logo design or seek feedback on a logo, that the most frequently names mentioned as being the best on this site are Neato, Rick and a few others, not the mediocre hacks who disagree with his or my assessment of the design...
  19. Logo critique and advise please.

    Presumptuous or not, some of us are in the business to create lasting relationships with our clients and presume most come to us for our expertise, not our simple acquiescence and submission to the first cockimamy idea they latch onto. I want to see all of our clients succeed and have them...
  20. Logo critique and advise please.

    What is the population in your town? Unless it's fairly small and the Eders are a well known family, his ego will be his undoing. It is just not recognizable or clever enough of a play on words to really endure. Did the client not do even some casual research into the failure rate of food...
