  1. Latex ink for your Roland, Mutoh, Mimaki

    That ink IS NOT a latex. It is a resin.
  2. need advice!

    In the long run it might be cheaper, overall, to reskin/reface it rather than renovate. If you do renovate and attack it with power tools at some point to get the old paint off, DO wear a respirator as it is very possible that lead based pigments were used.
  3. anyone here doing these wraps???

    Pat, I know AL is a bit strange as I drive through there quite often but can a city actually amend the state motor vehicle code in your state?
  4. Strange request/celebrity photos

    THE NUN AT HOOTERS A nun, badly needing to use the restroom, walked into a local Hooters. The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while the lights would turn off. Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers. However, when the...
  5. Strange request/celebrity photos

    Google images can be your friend.
  6. Can this polycarb face be saved?

    Sorry, I can't go with that. Do you only letter NEW trucks and cars? Do you tell your clients to get a new paint job and body work on their vehicles before you apply graphics should the finish be less than stellar? Do you tell your clients to paint their buildings before you will affix...
  7. Yes, you can get arrested....

    It is hard to tell from the picture but it looks like there are no uprights that the facade was attached to. If that sign was illuminated, you'd think someone would have noticed it when they ran the wiring if not before.
  8. poacher handing out biz cards in front of our shop

    binki, I have been somewhat in your shoes a few times. I have worked on and also coordinated large events using public places, mostly being in charge of vendors and having others, not licensed by us, trying to sell wares. It is easy to make an arrest of unpermitted vendors or confiscate...
  9. Can this polycarb face be saved?

    You guys need to lighten up a bit. The OP asked about "salvaging" the face. Who knows, maybe there could be a product out there that can be applied to rejuvenate the plastic and possibly restore the color like there is for automotive paint and fiberglass. Whether the plastic is now...
  10. Pay Your Bills.

    Please, folks don't judge others by your particular state statutes (if you even know yours by heart, which I doubt). Self-help in Florida is done every day. I have done it several times, mostly pan faces. I have scraped lettering off a window a time or two as well. The OP's boss really...
  11. Yes, you can get arrested....

    The story is typical of reporters who have never worked an honest job a day in their lives. Every meaningful and important fact was left out...but innuendo was paramount. What [state] license was needed? Was there or was there not a local permit pulled? From reading what folks here...
  12. Today's Drop Off

    Get a real pick em up truck with an 8' bed...lol. With a cargo net you could have gone two more tiers. Crap, that's a lot of shirts. If they all have the same design, you must have been bored by the time you were done.
  13. rolls for lables

    That wouldn't be a local stock item at a paper supply house AFAIK. Label companies buy the large rolls and cut them down as needed, using machines that are very similar to what vinyl cutters are. I have a feeling that you will be hard pressed to find that width (or larger which could...
  14. why can't business cards be glossy

    Over the years I have printed and/or brokered 100's of orders for cards. Personally, I don't think you can beat a classic linen laid paper. With the right combo of colors they sort of ooze money...they seem, look and feel expensive. That projects an image. I haven't had or used a...
  15. Making Stuff for a Union in NYC

    My union and every union I have ever belonged to demands union made goods. Where the substrate may not be union made due to unavailbility, the imprinter had to be 100% union and the imprinter's shop label would be affixed - always. To be honest, a lot of the organized shops have gone by...
