Does anyone have experience sponsoring immigrants to come over for sign work here in Canada? I get many applicants from Latin America and Europe, but I don't have a good understanding of how much work it is to sponsor

Sinalite out of Ontario Canada is continuously compromising my credit cards. Just putting this out there in case anyone is ordering from them and hasn't figured it out yet. You can use their Paypal pay option instead and your card won't get compromised.

It turns out a whole bunch of our suppliers use them to supply us

Where are you guys getting your sign making extrusions from in Canada? Grimco has a fairly limited supply. I was just looking up Signgineer that JBurton was recommending, and Eastern Metal Supplies has way better stuff available for raceways, sides of cans etc..

Does anyone know of a good Dinoc alternative? I like Belbien quite a bit, but their shipping charges really just make it infeasible for smaller orders.

Anyone know what font this is?

Not necessarily tying to sell it on here, but we want have an extra bucket truck through a deal we just did. It's a 1979 Grumman "Giraffe" that runs on propane with a 30 ft boom. Nothing really wrong with it except for age and the propane part. Struggling to find a starting point for how much...

How do you do it? Sign shops that do a lot of raceways seem to get really accurate colour matches each time. Is there a process they follow to be so consistent?

Does anyone have a good supplier for foam letters 1/2" thick? I haven't sold them in years because i don't like how they degrade, but i have a grocery store client that wants them. Any recommendations?

Does anyone have any experience with the new Roland Flatbed? I am considering upgrading our HP700 to a Roland with white ink and gloss finish. I'm particularly interested in printing directly to ACM without laminating.

Do you charge them? I just had a problem go away when i said we had a $50 rush fee for someone's 'urgent' 12" x 18" sign. It has me thinking i should do more of them. Do people here charge them? and just to annoying customers or even to your good clients?

We're fairly inexperienced with lightboxes, and are looking at doing a 12' x 12' Flexframe doublesided one for a Pylon sign. I think we have what we need to make it in house. But with the size I am thinking of going flexframe instead of Lexan. Does anyone make flexframe faces with generally...

We're looking at doing a 8' diameter logomark on a stadium lightpost. The idea is if the batter hits it, everyone in the stadium gets a prize. I'm thinking two 8 ft ACP sheets, braced on the back with 6 pieces of 1" aluminum angle. Does anyone have suggestions for mounting it onto the post...

We've got a sublimation printer from Amazon here in our shop. We've made lots of nametags for customers over time and we need to be able to keep supplying them. However the Amazon one was like $150 and is really inconsistent. Does anyone have a desktop sublimation printer they like using?

Does anyone use IJ180 for their wall wraps often? I know it's high quality, but we're finding the vinyl stretches too much and begins to sag when we install. The stretch becomes uneven and my seams stop lining up nicely. What are we missing here? 40c works great because it really doesn't stretch

I am interested in purchasing something with a 5+ employees already. I've made purchases in our industry before, so I know the process, and am willing to pay a fair price for a well run shop. Feel free to DM and I can give you my name and more info about me, as well as answer any questions...

Hi All, We've been working at doing cold weather window installs for a few of our clients. We've settled on 3500C on the recommendation of 3M. My client is looking for permanent window graphics at their locations. Temperatures in winter in these locations will be around freezing or lower Does...

What are some sign making capabilities that you wish you had in your shop? CNC? Laser? Crane? Bucket truck? What am I missing

Hi all, I've seen this kind of letter before, but I can't say I understand how they are made: Does anyone know a supplier that does these? And does anyone know how they're produced? Thanks! r

Hi all, I've seen lots of jobs recently with clear acrylic and a vinyl backer. It looks great for interior signs, but I'm curious about mounting methods. Does anyone use tape to mount these succesfully without shrinkage or the tape sucking the vinyl? And what tape / vinyl / lam combinations do...
