  1. Backlits, How are you doing them?

    We have the ability to run 3 ways in our shop depending on the client's needs Double hit on our solvent is easiest to do...but least flexible as far as the color goes. We have the ability to lay slightly different density of ink in this case though and still looks great for certain...
  2. close call

    Wow
  3. Grimco-- no Warranty!

    Bad call on the IJ 35 there. Have to agree...IJ 40 wouldve been a little better but not much. We ALWAYS use cast on vehicles unless they want cheapie bumper stickers or the like.
  4. Digital vinyl for windows

    We have recently had a slew of clients wanting to mount interior to glass. Using a clear removable and back laminating with white calendared vinyl. Otherwise, for outside on glass Arlon 4500GX has been good with the air egress, clear adhesive and white vinyl.
  5. Job ticketing / work queue recommendations

    We actually use filemaker for job ticketing and writeups. Find it was customizable for us...more so than Quickbooks at the time. Thinking in the near future we may need to work on updating our workflow and ticketing either thru an app like Trello, signvox or other application.
  6. Gotta love the stupidity of some people....

    It was installed directly on a building. I did not recommend wind slits to them in this case. They decided to do that themselves. Apparently the wind was getting behind it somehow and caused stress on the banner. Its completely their fault for bad installation. He is in no way a...
  7. Gotta love the stupidity of some people....

    OH man....I love it. I was standing here watching the wind blowing outside tonite thinking the same exact thing!!
  8. Gotta love the stupidity of some people....

    I have no clue what he did with the tape on this damn thing. Oh yea...one more thing...he asked me at one point if the banner material we use has plasticizer in it. They all freaking do!!! He said something about how the tape reacts to the plasticizer and doesnt adhere correctly. Here we go...
  9. Gotta love the stupidity of some people....

    Yeah....guess the fact trees were ripped down doesn't hold water either.
  10. Gotta love the stupidity of some people....

    I just printed the banner....this guy who I quoted installed it himself. I made suggestions about anchoring it to the building in multiple ways....doing mesh...etc. Nothing I said sold this guy on it the proven trusted methods and wound up doing it his own way.
  11. Gotta love the stupidity of some people....

    So...get this email today about a banner we did back in december. "The large client banner which your company, Wyld Grand Format Printing supplied, has been ruined due directly or indirectly to the failure of your shop installed grommets to hold the banner securely against wind gusts. The...
  12. One inch foamboard?

    Ultraboard is sold in 1 inch thick panels as well.
  13. Window material

    Talk to Lexjet....they have the gecko grip perf for interior of windows.
  14. 18oz banner for L25500

    Not sure if Cooley has put out this sort of product yet. We have not had luck with Bantex and minimal luck with the duratex 18oz.
  15. Printing white on black foamcore

    +1 on the ultra. The plastic face doesnt allow for ink soaking in.
  16. Packaging your decal orders

    You can use the plastic tubing that can be heat sealed shut as well. We do a lot of that method for small decals.
  17. Laminating Printed Dibond

    Maybe try a 3mil high gloss Polyester lam. Its tough as nails. After applying, do the graphics on top of that possibly. Worth a shot there. I think the adhesive for the polyester will hold up to the UV inks if you dont have much ink load on the board.
  18. too much snow to go to work?

    Here in parts of NJ....snow makes people dumber. 2-3 inches and people panic. I went to school in Syracuse....I know what snow is like and loved it there.
  19. Banner printing L25500

    Try Cooley Banner Greg. Its the hands down best we have used so far on our Latex.
  20. Roll to roll wide format printer 16 ft or wider

    All good companies mentioned. Look at Matan Barak as well I think.
