Ackland media frames and Tensioning solutions are the two I have samples of. Never actually sold any, customers seem to have hesitation with them around here, even a local customer that changes out large banners almost monthly. I might try one on a box truck this fall for a friend's farm to see...

Most sign suppliers like grimco sell them. About $120 for blade holder. Out of curiosity I ordered an amazon one and it came with 30 blades (10 of 30deg 45deg and 60deg) just to see how bad it was. It was .1 mm loose on diameter so I wrapped with a thin tape and tried it out, working fine so...

We are around 700-900 for a 4x8 on a nice painted sled delivered locally. Probably should be closer to $1100 this year. We use 2x4 purlins instead of a plywood backer, easier for install and hauling if you need to knock em down.

Yeah biggest color shift is on blue greens, HUGE shift for up to about 30 minutes

Be careful with your ink limits on the colorado, with the uv gel it uses a LOT lower limits than most inksets. If you lay down too much it won't cure through (check this with the crosshatch cuts and scratch test). Haven't done any multilayering on ours, but haven't needed to.

Thay have gone downhill significantly in the last few years. You used to be able to actually get a call back from one of the developers/ update team if you had an actual issue. We have received basically no substantial support sing an issue with the flexi 19 switch.

Sounds good, Ill keep you posted.

What finish do you usually use?

Same, I will talk to my extrusion shop and see if I can get a quote going for a minimum buy.

How many do you need? I would think you could find leftover stock and one of the distributors, JPP might have their own too.

You will probably never regret buying the double-sided fiberglass step ladders, we have an 8, two 6s, and a 4. I have been meaning to get a gorilla or similar but haven't had a good excuse yet. It would be nice to have a taller option that can fit in the delivery hatchback. We have gotten a few...

JDS was one of the first to notify customers that all open orders are canceled... no further inventory or orders

I'm thinking about making a run of frames, if you want to message me your order I would be willing to take a look and maybe make up some prototypes for you.

I have been impressed with Elliot in my limited interaction, I bought an obscure 30 year old lift truck and before I even went to go test drive it the elliot guys emailed me over the manual and build notes from archives. The previous owner didnt have any manuals or info on it.

IIRC There was an article on Keene Sign System or something similar, He used mutiple substrates like pvc hdu aluminum and plywood to build shapes. Maybe give his shop a call to see what his experience with curved HDU is?

Amazing that I actually found it... I think the original had more photos of construction or maybe a different article featuring the same craftsman. https://www.signafrica.com/adding-a-visual-kick-to-your-signage/

Personally, I would be concerned about the aluminum backer expanding and contracting more than the hdu than the bonded layers of hdu. I think the thinner the better but 1" should bend that much reliably. If possible I would keep the panel as equal as possible in thickness and then if you have...

Yeah sounds like something isolated to that circuit. If multiple coils/solenoids are the same on the valve stack maybe you can quick swap two and see if the issue moves....

We run a royal sovereign (they are pretty much out of business from what I hear) and do lots of variety with it. Most of our transfer taping is short (less than 10') pieces of 24"or 30" material and I think it works very well. If you want to message me I would be happy to show you our setup.

If you have a full painting setup its hard to beat Mathews for overall finish quality and durability, I have a neighboring body shop do that for me if I need it. IIRC the primer is Mathews 6001 and SignBrad has some super good information on what his painting process is (use the search bar as...
