  1. What? In order for me to do some work for you, you want to have the option to audit my business expenses of the job!

    I'm always surprised how many customers don't check out our facility, especially on bigger projects.
  2. Recent problems with Signs365

    Last week we ordered some perf prints and I didn't get one of them. We did get someone else's oddly worded stickers. They sent out a replacement for the missing print.
  3. Rant Vector drawing,,,Have we gone back 40 years?

    I had whatever version of Adobe Acrobat came with CS6. We recently decided to move to the Adobe Cloud software and that version of Acrobat is a huge step back from the version I had. I absolutely hate it.
  4. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    I'm going to go back to the old wall test method with the fish scale using some products we have on-hand and see if any of them are going to at least stick initially. From there I'll put up a test print and see how it looks after a couple of weeks. Luckily the initial installation looks mostly...
  5. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    FYI for others that might come across this thread, I was about to pull the trigger on trying some PhotoTex, but found this on their website: CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL ON WALLS PAINTED WITH THE PROMAR 200/400 ZERO VOC PAINT.
  6. Need Help Mimaki UCJV300-160 Headstrike issue

    I stopped trying to tape the prints to the take up reel when I'm doing a contour cut. Just let it pile on the floor. Before that I had it jam up bad and it bent the media cut-off knife holder.
  7. Colorcore, anyone use it?

    We've used quite a bit. Never had a problem with it. I don't have any of the color you need. We mostly use tan-green-tan.
  8. Need Help Mimaki UCJV300-160 Headstrike issue

    I run some "semi-rigid" vinyl thru ours and found that it works best setting the vacuum to strong.
  9. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    I'm bumping this thread because we recently ran into this issue with the Sherwin Williams paint. We used General Formulations 226HTR and it's not sticking well. It's a high-tach product specifically for wall applications. Anyone find a product that sticks to the Sherwin Williams Promar 200...
  10. Do you make/improve designs for customers or only take 100% ready to print files ?

    If it needs a lot of work, we charge but we try to keep the expense minimal. If it's something simple like a specific font, I'll just do it.
  11. 3' x 12' Acrylic sign panel for a lighted sign

    I would use .150 white polycarbonate plastic. Comes off a roll so length isn't an issue. They are fixed widths, so you're gonna end up with some drop. Sometimes I order from a width much bigger than needed to have usable drop.
  12. Street pole banner disasters?

    Yeah, they have to light poles designed for the banners. Around here most of the street lights are owned by the utility company and leased by the municipality so you gotta have permission from a couple of sources.
  13. Tired of incompetence...................................................................

    I feel like I see a lot more typos in news articles and books than I used to. Seems to be a general decline IMO.
