Every now and then a client will be looking for a self-standing display board. I've used SpiderFeet stands but they can be cost prohibitive for short term signs. I see a lot of signs with custom cut feet (like the attached photo) or with extra large easel backs but I can't find any sort of...

A federal client is looking for a 20x5ft outdoor banner and they need a display frame/system. Are there any recommendations for ground stakes/frames for this? Im considering either 18oz. scrim vinyl or fabric...any thoughts?

Can someone give me a little 101 on SAV? Here's the background – I used to use HP's Prime Matte Air SAV and their Polymeric Overlam because it's surprisingly cheap and works great for everything we do (primarily generic display boards/yard signs/stickers) Then a rep from a local independent...

A local university library is looking for decals to be applied to tables. (if it matters these are mostly commercial desks/tables with smooth or eggshell surfaces). The decals are ~4x4in. square and they're thinking about a couple hundred of them to start...nothing crazy. One of their...

We just got our first order for pole banners and we're outsourcing to a local trade printer. We ordered several samples before ordering the full quantity and the samples don't have any grommets. I can add the grommets in house but I'm not sure where to put them... I've been searching around...

A regular client sends us the attached photo they found online and they're looking for standing sign boards similar to the green ones in the background. They're looking for something durable enough for repeated use. No artwork yet but they're planning on around 3ft wide x 5ft tall. Any...

Is anyone using PrintSmith for their wide format production? Saw a few posts about people looking for input on using PrintSmith for wide format but no real useful info. For years the owner of my shop has priced out wide format with generic sq.ft. rates without really basing it off of cost...

For the life of me I can't get Sihl 3683 (self adhesive paper) to run smoothly on an HP latex 560. Does anyone run this on an HP 560/570 and care to share their profile settings or any tips? The only way I can prevent it from buckling on the platen or in the curing unit is to attach it to the...

We do a ton of work for a local university, mostly digital/offset products and indoor short-term signage. A department recently asked for a few simple wall decals of their logo and I figured it would be a great first-time learning opportunity (famous last words) After checking the locations...

I just spent way too long peeling the old graphic off the leader of a clients old retractable banner stand and now everything is covered in a delightful film mixture of RapidRemover and adhesive residue :toasting: I know some suppliers offer models that have velcro leaders instead of adhesive...

First time printing on a 36" roll of Sihl 3248 and the graphic is coming out with vertical streaks (aka running length of media, not width) that are only visible when viewing it at an angle. I feel like I've had issues like this with other display films but honestly can't remember at the moment...

Does anyone have any experience/feedback on Sihl's display film for latex – 3241 and 3248? Or another lay-flat option that would work on an HP 560? Ive seen recommendations for Grimco's Briteline Rollup film but thats on backorder until August. I've been using their 3515 but it warps/waves...

Light areas in the image always print less glossy than darker areas and are also more prone to scuffing. If I lightly drag my fingernail across the print, it barely leaves any mark over darker areas but more visibly over light areas. I originally thought that the ink/optimizer wasn't curing...

We're somewhat new to large format production in that we primarily do digital and offset printing/mailing. A few years ago we bought an HP 560 so we could bring basic LF printing in-house. We also have a Canon pro4000 that we use for higher quality products like photos and art prints. After a...

Im running am HP Latex 560 and noticing some weird issues with a 36" roll of HP Premium Poster Paper. I just printed several 34x54" posters and while cutting them out I noticed that the pastel areas of the image are much more matte. The ink in these areas dont rub off, but if I wipe it with my...
