  1. Font with "EST." variants

    Anyone know if there is a font that has the word "Established" and some of its variants (i.e. EST, est., etc) along with some filigrees and the like? I kinda expected to find such a thing over at LetterHead Fonts, but am not seeing it. Yes, I can of course make my own, just wanted to see if...
  2. UV flatbed printing on wood substrate

    Anyone using a UV flatbed to print directly onto wood? I currently make wood signs from reclaimed wood (typically cedar decking or fencing). I then make a paint mask and spray paint the text or graphics. This is fine for simple things, but obviously not the best approach for anything more...
  3. Durability of Thermal Resin prints

    Hello Signs101! Long time no talk, huh? I have a question for Gerber Edge and/or Summa DC4 users. For my current employer, I am researching the real-world durability of thermal resin prints for an industrial application. Having previously owned a solvent-based inkjet, I already am fully...

  9. CLOSED OUR BUSINESS - Materials for Sale

    After 7 years in the business, we closed our sign making business officially just a few months ago (GraphixCALC is still alive and well). As a result, we have several things left over (primarily printable materials and substrates). I would very much prefer to sell all of this stuff locally as...
  10. How to ensure print colors from screen to print

    Would you like to have faster output AND produce better colors? Are your digital print colors not coming out as good as you'd like? Do you not have a good profile for your material, ink, printer and RIP combination (or would you like to print on a new material)? Would you like to maximize your...
  11. After almost seven years, calling it quits

    Well, after seven years in the business, we've decided to pack it in. I started the business back in the first part of 2003 as a creative outlet, which quickly turned into a viable business. I even quit a pretty good career in 2005 to pursue my sign business full-time. At the end of 2005, I...
  12. Roland SP-540V - contour-cutting off

    We cannot seem to get the contour-cutting back on track. I think it MAY be that some parts are simply starting to go (machine is 4+ yrs old now) and that may be it. Seems like we can only get about 24" in the Y-direction (as the material feeds) to cut with any amount of accuracy. Beyond that...
  13. Fellers "Gamut" and "Solvex" wrap vinyls

    Looking for any feedback regarding Fellers "Gamut" and/or "Solvex AE CarWrap" vehicle wrap vinyls. These are significantly less than comparable Oracal or 3M products, but are they any good? How are they to use? How do they print? Thanks so much for your comments.

  15. How to host a forum?

    NO, I have no plans to create Signs099 or anything of that nature, but I am considering creating a forum for my pricing software. I have absolutely no idea how to go about it. Do you pay for a server service, buy one and stick at in your shop, what? What about the forum software? Any pointers?

  17. Nozzle dropout all of a sudden?!?!?!

    Why would I all of a sudden get nozzle dropout? Printed fine earlier today, now all of a sudden getting a lot of magenta nozzles missing. I recently replaced both capping stations (just a month or so ago), last week replaced all dampers and had it printing top-notch. Manual and auto cleans do...
  18. FREE TrueSpace 7.6 3D software!

    I stumbled on this. Have not tried it yet, but it appears to be VERY capable! I don't know if there is a catch but I just registered and successfully downloaded the software...unless it's just a massive Malware program! TrueSpace 3D software
  19. Dead PC...any ideas?

    Recently built a PC using all good components from Newegg (Antec case & PS, ASUS mobo, Intel Quad core processor, etc.). For no apparent reason, it just crapped out one day. I used it one night, shut it down, then it simply wouldn't boot at all...no POST beeps, nothing. However, it does POWER...
  20. Vista or the PC?

    So I needed to get another PC for us. I found a refurbed Gateway with really good specs and for a nice price. It has the Quad Core Q6600, 3GB of ram, SATA hard drive, 256MB nVidia video card, etc.....pretty decent specs overall. In fact, pretty similar to a machine I custom-built a while back...
