  1. Major oops!

    A couple of our install crew members put some 3" tall flat cut aluminum stud mount letters in a brick wall and it's off center by about 7 inches. :banghead: No one noticed until they installed plaques underneath the lettering. :frustrated:Most of the studs are in the bricks, but most of the...
  2. Fuzzy Wuzzy Wuz a print

    Had a banner catch and wad up under the carriage while printing last week on our HP 315. We've been having quality issues since. I've run some head cleanings, and the the automatic head alignment. The "print all test plots" cleared up a good bit after all of those, with some banding on the #6...
  3. HP cutter issue reading registration mark #2

    We have an HP 315 and an HP Latex 54 Plus Cutter using Flexi. When doing print/cut procedures, we occasionally seem to have an issue with the cutter reading the 2nd registration mark. Reads the barcode just fine, then reads the fist registration mark just fine but it will start to look in the...
  4. ADA sign source

    Anyone have any good sources for signs like this? Most of the stock ones I've come across are styrene 6"x9". I've not ordered anything like this previously, other than stock ones from Grimco.
  5. Estimates & Invoices

    I was reading another thread the other day and it was mentioned by a couple of people that folks often feel nickel and dimed by line items, and it got me wondering about my practice. Install/builds are a fairly small potion of our business. The vast majority of our clients do their own installs...
  6. Billboard Banner Source

    Does anyone have a good source for billboard banners? A local company that deals mostly in real estate, but also owns several billboards in the area would like to see about sourcing their prints through us rather than the non-local source they are currently using. It's not something we've delved...
  7. Prince Harry...

    I meant, Prints hairy... as in, some of my prints are looking a bit hairy. We've noticed on a few prints recently, that the black ink seems to be bleeding randomly into neighboring inks. So far, it's only been brought to my attention twice. Both instances in the last week and a half. The first...
  8. RTape paper application tape adhesive question

    How can it be that RTape 4075RLA is relatively low tac until it folds over on itself, in which case it forms the strongest bond in the known universe?
  9. AI conundrum

    Okay, so we had a client ask us about doing some t-shirts and submitted some art. The art came from design.com I went there, and it appears to just be a website with an AI engine that will generate art off of prompts. The customer wants me to recreate the design exactly from the proof sample...
  10. Losing characters from Illustrator to Flexi

    Brand new to Flexi with the HP Print and Cut system. In the past we were Illustrator>Cutting Master on our Graphtec. We've been having issues with random characters (so far only numbers) disappearing in Flexi. If the type is left live, on a couple of project NO numbers come through. I had some...
  11. Input on HP Plotter

    We are having some feeding issues with our old Graphtec FC8000-130 and we are having trouble sorting the problem. I'm still waiting for Graphtec support to get back with me to see if we can find a solution, and in the mean time I'm shopping plotters. As much as I'd like to entertain a Summa...
  12. Safety Speed Helios Substrate Cutter

    The owner's son was just at the Orlando trade show and he saw the guy at the Safety Speed booth using a the Helios table top substrate cutters to cut 3mm ACM. https://safetyspeed.com/products/machines/sign-cutting-machines/helios-cutter/ I was wondering if anyone here has any real world...
  13. DTF Decals

    A guy in the shop just approached me about these DTF stickers and I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this type of product and what opinions you may have. https://www.yousendweprint.com/group/uv-dtf-stickers
  14. Unusual (maybe) mounting options

    Was hoping for some idears for a project I'm working on for a local boat manufacturer. They are looking to spruce up the entrance area of their front office and they have asked me to carve various regional saltwater fish and mount them in the railing of the steps. I'm looking for...
  15. Anyone know a wholesale supplier for these pole arm doodads?

    Was hoping someone knows of a supplier for a post like the attached photo. It's about 8' tall from the ground. Arm bracket is roughly 30" for hanging a 24"wide sign. Don't need an exact match, just something similar. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
  16. Did you font?

  17. Any recommendations for a good vendor of sandblasted signs?

    Thread title says it all. Was wondering if anyone has suggestions for a sandblasted HDU sign vendor.
  18. You should try not to be jealous, but I know you will be...

    I just got to recreate a decal that had the overused Serpentine typeface, that was smooshed and distorted.... that had diamond plate, WITH a gradient.... AND a carbon fiber pattern in the background. I know you are all salivating with jealousy right now, but just calm down. Keep your lives...
  19. Pole sign materials and mounting suggestions

    Was hoping for some insight on a project for a customer. He's wanting a side mount pole sign "kinda like the old gas stations" but on a lamp type of post (see attachment.) He doesn't want a pole arm sign but something more like a flag mounted sign. He will be installing the pole himself, his...
