Long story short, I purchased a Dell XPS 8960 in June 2024. On July 24, 2024 I started the computer only to see a problem with the heatsink in the 8960. Immediately got in contact with Dell technical support and they scheduled an onsite visit to replace the part(s). Later that same day I...
One of my suppliers is promoting LG Cast sign vinyl in colors and also a product with "AIRFREE" technology that is respositionable and slidable. Just curious if any of my fellow sign makers have had any experience with these products.
Local fire truck redo on striping. Having to restripe a door on an older model, local firetruck that was recently damaged and a new door installed. The truck has light blue reflective on all the striping and I've created the new striping to match what was on the damaged door. The striping is...
I am using cast vinyl on all my vehicle installs and lately I have been noticing that cast vinyl on darker color vehicles appear to have a shorter life span than those installed on lighter colored vehicles. I had one black truck that was used by the client sparingly in his business. The vinyl...
Removing some old vinyl lettering from a couple of doors of a dark blue truck today and ran into a problem I had never experienced. Once the vinyl and the adhesive was removed there was glaze left over. Thought it might be ghosting so I used some Ghost Off. Not the case. Anyone ever experienced...
Working on a double faced Alumacorr sign 4' tall by 10' wide. I need to attach triangles, 3mm polymetal, that are 34" by 68" to each side. The triangles are attached to the sign face with only about 15" extending beyond the top of the sign. Looking for recommendations for attaching the triangles...

Recent request from an out of state sign company to do an install within several miles of my shop and looking for advice on pitfalls to avoid and tips from experiences of others.
I am printing on a JV33 which uses solvent ink. Since most laminated digital prints last on average 3 to 5 years I'm wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a cast film versus calendered film on particular substrates like AlumaCorr, Polymetal and so on?
NOTE:Years ago I had...
I have a lettering job to do on a fire truck door that is being painted with Imron paint. I know that there is a necessary curing time for out gassing but I'm not sure what that time may be. Anyone have an idea?
September, font question month for me! It could be old age or the fact that there are so many fonts to choose from. Never a dull moment in the world of design. Just curious if anyone knows what this font is called?
During the day I look at so many fonts but when it comes to identifying some my mind just goes blank. I blame it on old age. This font, I should know but?
I am having an issue with ink getting to the head on my JV33-130. This all started after I replaced the Mimaki cap head with a generic cap head. The head was working prior to this and now I'm only getting a few colors coming out of the print head. Everything I read says that it's likely a air...
I'm a long time user of Flexisign Pro and recently ran into an issue with the software.. My current version is Cloud Version 11 Sp6 running on windows 10. When I first upgraded to windows 10 the software still worked but gradually with new updates for win10 I started to experience a troubling...
Just curious if any of you might know of a supplier who could match up the rectangular, capped aluminum sign post shown the picture. It is 2" by 4", 3/16" walled aluminum with one end capped. Need at least six feet. One post was creamed in an accident but the sign and the other post survived.
In the deep recesses of my tiny mind I thought I saw a post about LED lighting be used in the hood of a large format printer so that you could see the print as it is being produced but for the life of me I cannot find it, if in fact it does exist. Anyone out there have a set-up like this on...
