The only printing I do would be the Edge, of course that is not the machine for this job due to size (and no foil to match the blue anyways) I would design this in Flexi and send off to a fellow sign shop to print on his HP latex. He says he can match a PMS color, but again, I am lost on the...

I am making a sign for a customer who said he would "much rather I use "Spot Colors", rather than CMYK. His sign will be 10' x 5' and will be a total of 3 colors - black, white and a medium blue (no vinyl match for the blue). He gave me a PMS color for the blue. As stupid as this may sound...

thanks all I must be outta touch. This is the first time I've heard of it.

I did a couple designs for a company, and had send those files to a number of different sign / install companies across the country. The files are around a GB each. I have used "dropbox" in the past, but someone in the chain has sent me revisions via "WeTransfer". I have never heard of...

Solventinkjet, I can guarantee it won't get over $600 this year. :) The work consisted of installing 4 "unit" number on the transon window above the main door. He was the contractor that installed the new doors for a small office complex. Dumb little job, that you wouldn't expect a headache...

I have one such customer that is currently 40 days out from my invoice date. His bill is $195.00. I sent him an email yesterday, and his excuse was that he hadn't received my W9 yet. (LOL thats a new one) He said he would get my payment out promptly as soon as he gets the W9. Being this is...

Has anyone else noticed a big push on requests for W9's ?? In the past 2 weeks, I've received 4 requests for a W9. The strange part, all have been for under $300 that we charged the customer. Its always been my understanding that you don't need to provide a W9 under $600. Is this correct?

Its been painted for 1 month.

I have to apply some interior wall graphics on painted drywall. Is this the best choice of materials to use? I have read on the Ultraflex website (or a distributors website) that it is LOW tac and repositional an unlimited number of times. (that I flat out don't believe) Being that a latex...

Thank you for the links. Much appreciated.

Does anyone have a good source for large (stock or custom) scroll brackets? I have a 36" wide x 48" high sign that I need to hang, and I'm looking for something a step above the plain boring ones I've found. Thanks )

What dimension of "aluminum" would you use for THIS project Tex? I'm not real familiar with the strength of aluminum to erect a 12 foot (16') post with this much windload. I would have thought steel would be a better, cheaper and stronger choice??? No? I have built some directional signs...

Gino being Gino. My inlaws have been in the "lumber yard / sawmill" business for 3 generations. They are in the top 10 largest this side of the Mississippi. They do have an impressive stockpile of old product, although I don't think they would be receptive to using any of their supply for sign...

I just wholesaled in 2 pan faces (8' x 4') for $1500. So your market $6k+ ?

I'm looking to build this structure out of 6x6x16 post with an added 2x6x16, mostly for aesthetic value, but Im sure it helps with structural integrity also. So, is 6x6 post a good way to approach this size of a sign structure? Are the 30" holes with 4 foot of post embedded sufficient for...
