Hi everybody! Just a heads up, my updated 2013 price list for Signs101 members is now available. I've worked hard to keep prices as competitive as possible; in fact, no prices have gone up and many have gone down a little. We've also (finally) installed a UV flatbed printer so I've added...

The marketing agency we use came up with this Thanksgiving email/Facebook video. We tend to give them free reign over what they do, this is what they came up with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORahI9-aJSQ&feature=youtu.be

Hello all! Insignia is in the market for a new production assistant. We are a young, creative, energetic company looking for like-minded individuals who thrive in a fast-paced environment. We'd love to find a candidate with experience, but we are willing to train the right individual if...

With the installation of our new flatbed we're learning that maintaining the proper humidity level in our print room is not only critical but also extremely difficult, particularly keeping it high enough. We need to install a humidifier that will maintain a more consistent humidity level in here...

Anyone recognize this one? I think it's in the Garamond family but the pointy serifs are throwing me off...

So our new flatbed is up and running (CET) so we're now having to use Layout Tool with Onyx to nest jobs on sheets. We're new to this, we never used it before with our roll-to-roll printers, we always just let Rip Queue nest files as it saw fit. We always print everything with the corner crop...

From time to time we send out an email blast to our clients to let them know what we're up to or to wish them happy holidays or whatever, we use a local marketing company for most of it. Apparently for our Easter email blast everyone has been busy behind my back. This is what was just sent...

Big day for us here at Insignia, we took delivery of our new CET Color 500H UV flatbed printer! Super excited, now we just need to learn how to run it...

This has probably been discussed, I did a search but couldn't find a good answer to this... We're putting new lights up in our printing and production areas. I want to put lamps in that are the closest to daylight, but I'm not sure which temperature is best. I'm hoping someone with first hand...

Look what just came in the mail!!! Sean Alley (FatCat) found out I like pickles like 13 year old girls like Justin Bieber so he sent me a big case of Tony Packo's pickles!!! Holy crap are these things good. Pickle party at Insignia!!! Woo hoo!

Has anybody ever successfully gotten a dealer or manufacturer to take back/buy back/replace a piece of equipment that is not performing as promised or expected? Without ending up in court? If so, how did you approach it? Any negotiating tactics I should consider?

Hopefully someone here with more IT knowledge than I have can give me some guidance here... Today we got new internet service hooked up at our shop (went from Time Warner Cable to AT&T Uverse fiber, 4 times faster for the same price)... ATT installed the modem/router (one unit, not separate...

I've been having a lot of people ask me so I wanted to make everyone aware that our 2012 Signs 101 Wholesale price list is now available! PM me or email me at mike@insignia-signs.com and I'll email you one right away! Thanks!!!

Anybody know of a good source for interior backlit poster frames? I have a client looking for about 50 of them around 20"x20", but they don't want something that protrudes off the wall too much.

I'm trying to track down a vendor/manufacturer for the sign pictured below. It's 6"x6", bottom layer is 1/8" brass, top layer is 1/16" clear plastic (for ADA/tactile graphics and braille). The plastic is attached to the brass with 4 rubber "nipples", it's just press-fit into place. The...

Anyone using Signvox for their shop management? I've been researching it and it actually looks like the best all-around solution for what we need and I love some of the features it offers. Curious if anyone here has any experience with it, search didn't turn up much.

I vaguely remember reading on here that someone replaced the crappy core holders on the GS6000 takeup reel with some heavier-duty ones from Mutoh. Anybody know the part number for those?

I've posted this before a while back, sorry for reposting it... Does anybody know how to (or even if you can) adjust the media compensation (or media feed) on the GS6000 while it is printing. We can't find how to do it and I'm sick of having to restart prints 50 times to get it dialed in...

We just upgraded to X10 Production House and when we go through the steps of building a profile in there, when it gets to the step to actually build the ICC profile, that "page" is grayed out and it skips it altogether, so no profile is generated. I cannot for the life of me figure out why. Drop...

I have a client looking for "artsy" papers for some art reproductions. We've got canvas down, but they're looking for some recycled-looking or cotton papers, or watercolor-type papers. Does anybody know of any? I've searched Sihl and Magic's sites and don't really see anything too out of the...
