Yeah, I was thinking about doing overlays instead. Not sure.

The bid package I got said if digitally printed, then lamination must be applied. I am probably overthinking it since we are only talking about a few signs but I want to make sure I provide the best possible product to my customer.

From what seeing, the Avery 6060 only has a 3 year durability rating. Not sure that will be good enough.

I have some street signs I need to make for a builder client that require printed reflective material. Also, the specifications require any digitally printed material to have lamination. The only lamination material that I see specified anywhere is Oralite 5095 but I am having difficulty...

My answer would be GFYS. Plain and simple.

Good point, if not spoken the way people here want to hear things. I tell everyone that comes into my shop looking for something to be designed that I am a sign guy, not an artist. I make signs. I design fleet graphics. But I AM NOT an artist. Too many wraps around town are designed by...

I use the embedded web server all the time for that to make sure I quoted a job correctly. You do have to do some cost assignments first to get your actual costs correct and you also have to make sure you update anytime there is a cost change. Plus, I usually add 10% to the materials cost to...

That's strange. We have had our HP315 for almost 5 years and have never had a single issue other than figuring out the importance of profiles with different media for gray tones especially. I haven't ever had a down day except when I forgot to order ink in time LOL. Maybe you just got a lemon

Welcome to the Forum and Florida. Hope you enjoy your time at both.

That That is basically what I was leaning towards with 4x4 aluminum posts since they want the signs to be approximately 4-1/2" deep. easy peasy

One of my customers sent me this to quote with no detail. I have a few ideas on how to build it but I figured I would ask the group what you would do to make these. I make something similar for another client using 1/2" PVC but they are calling for 3mm dibond boxes. Let me know your ideas...

Sounds like the owner must be a good guy. I got into the sign business over 20 years ago when a source of mine offered to sell me his business and made me a offer I could not refuse (I was a print broker at the time and was one of his biggest clients). He trained me for several weeks on the...

He added that after I mentioned it

OP - Florida is a pretty big state. Posting the county might help you get a response that actually helps. I know several trappers...

Absolutely! I bought a similar used one about 5 years ago and wondered why I never bought one earlier once we started using it! Great investment for any sign shop

What was the cost per lead? How many leads converted into actual sales? Leads are great but a waste of time if it doesn't convert to money

I know this is an older thread but at this point I have purchased at least 100 of printed acrylics from Signs365. I can't speak highly enough about this product. Our customers LOVE them! And it could not be any easier to buy from them. Their turn time is fantastic.

Got a request for quote from one of my biggest customers. They are putting in a series of walking trails in a new development and in addtion to some normal types of signs they want (5) of these displays. I have never done one of these before and wanted to know how you guys would make them. I...

$900 buys a lot of wine & cheese... I would not hesitate to buy the FC8600. My last FC was 17 years old when I sold it and upgraded to a larger one. never had a single service issue. My current FC8600 is already 4 years old and not a single issue either. That being said, when I sold my...

Darn. I didn't get one. Maybe because I have been ordering acrylics from them for the past few months already so they didn't need to advertise to me?
