Do you honestly think that Gerber makes the ink in their very own "ink factory"? No, they buy it and repackage it and then warn you not to use other ink or you'll void your warrantee (so they gain a captive market). They might specify the formula to make the "Cationic" ink optimized for their...

We had our NEW CAT-UV Flatbed installed about 6 weeks ago. We love it. Today we get an email from Gerber saying.... Is anyone else at signs101 in this boat? What do you think? Why do you think they're hurting? I think they are a bit too old-school in their sales channel rules. I've heard...

I use both extensively. We also sell a PC programmable electronic window LED message board and I do technical support (with PC users) for customers that purchase that item. We have 5 macs and 3 PCs at our shop. I own the shop and do all computer repairs. I spend 100 times more time...

I think he was missing the fiberglass pole that sticks out of the cast aluminum portion of the bracket. You can find complete boulevard banner bracket kits (with the fiberglass poles) at... http://www.signsdirect.com/Home/Banner-Brackets

Anyone have a used (but functional) Gerber Edge II Power Supply? I need the one made by Deltron (not the one by Todd). Anyone know anyone (other than Gerber) that can repair them? Thanks, Tom

Hey. I haven't had time to update the program in a while, BUT I did remove the password. Now it is 100% free and you don't have to re-enter the password. I'll see if I can make some more relevant and graphic navigation icons. Our only goal was more exposure for our company and more sales for...

I just got a flyer for the "Legend 72HUV". It is a UV "direct to substrate" printer. It says that it is made by "Digital Equipment Company". Who are they? It says "Built with industrial-grade components sourced worldwide" is that short for "Chinese knock-off"? See...

Matt, If we had a job that had three 24"x18" corrugated plastic yard signs, can the Mutoh VJ-1608 print all three of them on 18"x24" material (unattended) or would they need to be printed on a larger 4'x8' sheet and then cut to down to size? T PS: I wish they had something like this with a...

The Mutoh 1608 is about $45k (bundled with FlexiSign Pro). The Gerber Ion should also be considered although it has a list price of about $80,000. Also, the HP DesignJet UV- H35100 is popular and priced at about $58k. We are also looking for some first hand reviews of the Mutoh 1608. Tom

You could probably make something like this in Excel or Access, but if you don't want to bother ..then you can use ours. We made and used this simple program to make graphs to help sell larger sign jobs. The graph is designed to help illustrate the relative bargain in signs when comparing "cost...

One reference that I have says that they use the "SSA series C & D" fonts by URW. See... http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/saa/series-c-d/ Tom ______________________ signsdirect.com

You are correct about the 11.8" size limit. I must have remembered the cut limit. What do you do if the edges of your prints look smeared or blurry? I already cleaned the head. -Tom

I used to get a little more than 12" out of it when we used the first version of the Gerber macImprint software (back in 1999). I stopped using the edge and now that I have one again I have the latest macImprint software for mac Os X and it is different that what I used to use. T

No. We are in Bloomington (Central Illinois) ... 120 miles SW of Chicago. We also have a fulfillment center in the NW Chicago burbs. Tom

What is the maximum size that you can print to the Edge from MacImprint? We are stuck at just under 12" (using MacImprint) and I am trying to figure out how to squeeze an extra 1/4" out of the "edge-2". I looked through the settings and couldn't find a way to do it. It auto-tiles the art when...

Hello, I'm new to "Signs101", but not to the sign business. I have 6 years with my own "web based" sign business plus 10 years before that at another more conventional sign company. My current company is called "Signs Direct". At "Signs Direct" we sell mostly "standard signs" like ATM, Neon...
