I have been tasked with replacing some old double-sided parking lot signs that were slotted into wood posts. The signs were 30"h x 24"w x .063 aluminum - it's no wonder they all bent, snapped, or fell off. They were only being held on with a few inches of post. Does anyone know of any type of...

Good morning. I somehow lost my entire rip queue in Production Manager and now have another (duplicate) printer installed with an entirely new, empty queue. Not sure what happened, but at some point on Friday I happened to glance over and notice my entire screen re-draw itself and when it came...

Happy Friday! Does anyone know why Flexi won't allow me to add a new print mode? I just cloned and modified the stock generic banner profile to add an 8 pass mode for Jetflex. It's there and selected on the printer itself, and it also appears under Printer Options, but it's not available to...

So, our local historic review board doesn't like vinyl/plastic, but my predecessor must have ignored this and so now I'm sitting on a surplus of signicades. They are the nicer looking ones with the snap-in retainers, but as we become more and more event-driven, I keep bumping up against the...

Happy Friday S101! Can anyone recommend an iron-on hem tape that is suitable for canvas? Specifically, I'm using the Magic 15mil polyblend (https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Products/MagicGFCVM). Our F&B department continues to last-minute me for menus and I don't have time to send them for sewing...

I swear, no one has maintained the signs in this place for what seems like decades. I mean, how long does it take for lichen to grow on a sign in a parking lot? And the landscaping crew must be laughing every week as they slowly eat away at the bottom of the post, just waiting for it to fall...

Ugh. Both our brand new HP printer and plotter have gone out of commission today. Not sure what's going on with the plotter. Everything is cutting wonky - like not closing shapes and cuts not lining up. Has anyone seen this before? Everything seems to be working correctly. I've tried sending...

Good morning, can anyone recommend somewhere I can buy some Roland cleaning cartridges for ESL3 inks? My local ink supplier has recently gone out of business and I'm skeptical of the dozens of lookalike sites that google gives me. I'm located in Virginia if that makes a difference. Thank you!

We have a new HP printer/plotter combo coming our way and I'm currently shopping for a couple new cables, but cannot find specific information on the type of connector used on the plotter. All the Summa documentation simply says "USB". Is that USB-A, B, or C? 2.0? 3.0? And what about longer...

I'm not sure if this is more of a technology thing or a "balancing the checkbook" thing, but my boss has an absolute miserable time reconciling my online purchases each month because some vendors like Amazon and Lowes will charge per item versus charging for the entire order. So when I submit a...

Hey guys, there's a good chance I'll be able to get my hands on a Roland SP-300V printer that will need a little work and I was looking for the service manual. There are tons of posts on here about it - but they're just long threads of people giving out their email addresses (WTF?). There are...

Our shop is in the process of replacing our 30" Roland SP-300V and I'd like to do everything possible to keep it operational and hopefully convince my employer to let me take it home. So, there are a few things I'm hoping you fine folks could help me with. The setup guide says the printer only...

Is anyone else playing the new Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom? There's a character called Addison who shows up throughout the game trying to hold up a sign with only one post. You have to use the new UltraHand ability to attach some boards or posts so the sign won't fall over. There is...

Good morning folks, does anyone know of any 'for the trade' print providers / wholesalers who will sell to non-profits? I'm an internal shop for an NPO and I've had a few projects come up recently (bulk coro signs) that would be better suited to outsource, but providers like Signs365 and...

Just wanted to shout out the Vector Doctor for the big assist this morning. After requesting a vector logo from a designer and receiving a zipped package of files full of embedded images, I reached out to the Vector Doctor for help. After a few minutes I receive an email apologizing that he...

Hoping for any recommendations on exterior, water-based paints suitable for re-creating and preserving historic signs (see attached for examples). Ronan Aquacote or Nova Color acrylics? Both seem to be suitable alternatives to leaded, oil based 1-Shot. The Nova Color line seems more geared...

Good morning, How can I go about finding a new sign rep and/or dealer in Virginia? I recently took a position to basically re-establish a defunct in-house shop and am in the process of sourcing materials, tools, equipment, etc. Specifically, I'm hoping to find a local person to help find...

Can anyone identify this font? The Pizzadude fonts are all close, but not quite right. Thanks!

Does anyone know of any other easy to read blackletter fonts? I have some informational and wayfinding signs to work on in a German-themed area and I'm trying to find that sweet spot between easily legible while still appropriate. Kodex Regular and Pirata One are close to what I'm after. Rhein...

Good morning, I posted this a couple weeks ago in the newbie help forum but didn't receive any views or replies. Apologies for trying again but I think this forum may yield some good results and help point me in the right direction. I'm seeking advice on the best ways to re-engage with the sign...
