  1. Masking tape recommendations

    We just use regular 3M beige 3/4" for most things. We also use the 3M green 3/4" when we want a little better adhesion like on glass in the winter.
  2. Advice on moving my Epson S80600

    I was thinking enclosed trailer with the tie down strips on the walls.
  3. Advice on moving my Epson S80600

    I don't see why a trailer with a drop gate wouldn't work. They don't have great suspension but then again neither do box trucks.
  4. Advice on moving my Epson S80600

    Main thing is to be gentle, have more than enough help, and move slowly. Although older Epsons had plastic pieces to hold the print heads steady during shipping, I don't recall that the S80600 had any when I set mine up. You'll want to make sure the heads are parked and clean before turning the...
  5. Question Epson SureColor series printers i.e., 40600, 60600

    They didn't design the Epson printers for sheet fed. It's not an option.
  6. Flag Pole issues

    I'd suggest calling Colonial Flag about the problem. Website is www.colonialflag.com and phone number is 877.941.3524. They sell https://www.colonialflag.com/products/polypropylene-halyard-rope?_pos=1&_sid=f547681a3&_ss=r&variant=44266669736251 They are a US manufacturer of flagpoles and...
  7. Question Epson SureColor series printers i.e., 40600, 60600

    It has nothing to do with a RIP. It's a function of the printer itself. Older printers like the Mutoh and Mimaki printers don't do the back-tensioning thing.
  8. Signs literally broke in half

    Yes but the AI got me and Stacy mixed up. I'm looking for a postcard advertising white paint for fresh treated lumber that's still wet.
  9. Question Epson SureColor series printers i.e., 40600, 60600

    On the Epson you can start the print with the vinyl advanced about 1.5" beyond the pinch rollers. With some materials I like to advance it about 3-4" because there is a groove in the platen that curly materials can go down into and then pop up, causing head strikes or misfeeds. This doesn't mean...
  10. Question Epson SureColor series printers i.e., 40600, 60600

    Print from the pinch rollers..... what does that even mean? Printers print from the print heads.
  11. Issue with 50/50 perf + laminate

    We do laminated window graphics all the time. Have never had that happen. Perhaps your installer is stretching the material and/or squeegeeing too hard--perhaps with a chiseling technique? Any places where we see that immediately after installation, it goes away on its own with exposure to heat...
  12. Signs literally broke in half

    I just got a postcard in the mail from Express Sign Products Inc. offering PROLink chain link fence sign fasteners. 95 cents each in a pack of 150. Cheaper than three 2x4's and nuts and bolts per sign and hold more securely.
  13. What kind of lumber?

    Cheaper to buy a cedar 4x4 and stain it than treated lumber and a post sleeve. Post sleeves require a cap too which changes the look of the sign.
  14. another BS money grab from our city!

    It's in Chapter 12 of county ordinances. Definition of abandoned and/or obsolete sign at the top in 12-31. The Division 4-Abandoned or Obsolete Signs in 12-106 and 12-107. Not new ordinances. Passed in 6/15/21. Allows 6 months for business changes in properties (or after permit lapses). But...
  15. What kind of lumber?

    Because it's not what the customer specified and uses on their signs routinely
  16. What kind of lumber?

    Okay, so all the information about not painting treated lumber until it dries out is bogus and I won't have the customer coming back in a few months because all the white paint is peeling off?
  17. What kind of lumber?

    Doing a job making some v-shaped for lease/for sale signs for a developer to install on some outlots around a shopping center. 5x10's mounted on 3 4x4's in the ground. Normally I'd use treated lumber 4x4's and stringers. But they want the 4x4's exposed all the way up at either end of the signs...
  18. Signs literally broke in half

    I don't think 6mm really provides a lot more strength from tearing. The faces are the same. Screws etc. cut into it just as easily. If they want really windproof material you're talking .080" aluminum. Then again, the highway signs I saw torn off were 0.125" aluminum. I've also dealt with many...
  19. Signs literally broke in half

    You won't convince them it's their mounting technique, but it was. And even if they were mounted perfectly, with the kind of winds these storms have had no sign is invulnerable. The storms that went across Missouri, not counting the tornadoes, had straightline winds exceeding 80 mph. That's...
