  1. Magnet alternative?

    I bought some iDot a couple years ago from Gans Digital but it appears they have gone out of business. Does anyone know of a similar product that can be used in place of magnets for aluminum body vehicles? I have customers that like the removable/reusable aspect of iDot but don't know what else...
  2. "My brother-in-law is a graphic designer in New York City" oh yay...

    The guy obviously doesn't need the business, he'll be lucky to get any from the one with the logo, it's too hard to read. The text based sign said what he did and how to reach him. Sometimes simpler is better.
  3. Sealing ACM panel signs?

    I wish I could do everything with cast, it just always looks better and wears longer. That said, someone mentioned the cost difference, I pay around $175 for a 150' roll calendared print media, 3m IJ180 150' roll costs me about $950, and I haven't even added in the overlaminate. I am not a math...
  4. Sealing ACM panel signs?

    Had a customer come in and we talked about providing new ACM signs for his church. He showed me images of a few that have obviously been out in the elements for awhile, (he says only a year) and the laminate is shrinking and vinyl pulling away from the edges. We didn't do the original signs but...
  5. The next generation of adobe users now work among us

    When a customer wants to have us match a PMS color, we give them the "color matching is not a guarantee but we can get close, due to the nature of the different inks...etc. etc." They are usually good with it. I rarely have someone ask for a PMS match. I usually find a hex to PMS converter...
  6. Sinalite is a POS! I need a new printer

    We use FireSprint more and more these days. Good products, quick turnarounds. Very helpful when short staffed.
  7. SHOES

    Hey Geneva, we are in the Kingwood area, nice to see another Texas sign gal here.
  8. DMCA takedown notice phishing scheme

    Seems like if this were legitimate, you would have received a certified formal letter in the US mail, properly formatted and proper grammar used. They did not even properly identify the company making the charge. The party claiming infringement should also be named and examples presented so that...
  9. What are some ways to show gratitude to past clients?

    We have different items, tumblers with our logo, notepads with all our info on them. Recently started giving leather coaster sets with our logo to our high paying customers. Custom usb drives, phone chargers, earbuds, etc. I am a promo products distributor as well and I can get some good SWAG to...
  10. Sinalite is a POS! I need a new printer

    I frequently use printograph.com and navitor.com, both provide wholesale options. I have used Navitor for years, they have excellent customer service, but have never really encountered any problems with them. They don't always have everything I need but they do what they do well.
  11. Customer Giveaways for plant tours

    Great thing about this industry is we can get as creative as we want and make some amazing products. Maybe team up with a local artist to create a piece for you that they would not mind being reproduced. Win win for both parties.
  12. Magnet alternative??

    I had a law enforcement officer call in today. He has a Ford F-150 aluminum body truck. Does off duty "POLICE" work in his personal vechicle and wants "removable and reusable" non-magnetic graphics option. I have tried iDot a few times for a couple of my customers but they did not like the...
  13. Need Help Is anyone using a Summa cutter after printing with Roland

    We use CorelDraw and do contour cuts on a Summa S2-T140. There is a plugin within Summa Go Sign that we loaded into CorelDraw that will add registration marks with the click of a button on the toolbar. Try this link to determine what software you may need to do this...

    Gemini does plaques. I did one for a memorial bench with them awhile back, stainless steel plate and the text was engraved.
