  1. Installation Over Water

    I'm sure you'd be able to find a rental, construction companies rent them more often than buying, so there's usually a rental option not too far away from anywhere. They come in various sizes, and most the roof units are on wheels, and can roll sideways on the roof, so you can move them and do...
  2. Installation Over Water

    +1 for swing stage scaffold. Check around for rentals & prices in your area. They usually rent on a monthly basis, gives plenty of time to get a job done, and will probably set you back a couple grand, which you just bill to the customer anyway.
  3. Suggestions Specialty Vinyls & LED Lighting

    Don't get quite what you're looking to do, but experimenting is the mother of invention. Look into holographic vinyl, comes in tons of different styles/ colors/ patterns/ options, almost endless. Many have reflective color changing properties already, and a lot are printable. You can combine...
  4. Discussion Premature Wrap discoloration where vehicle is touched by the tech's hands. Thoughts?

    Possible cheap solution. Apply some PPF around the door handles on all the trucks you do for them. If the PPF discolors, just peel the old one and apply a new one.
  5. SJEOOW Cable

    Whether you wire them yourself, or have a licensed contractor do it, it's all paid for by the customer anyway, and no place to "cheap out" or "wing it". Commercial buildings have strict codes, and get periodic inspections. Violating codes can be very costly if you're caught, and having a failure...
  6. BEST CHROME VINYL

    I only use it for cut lettering or accents because it's so durable, and that's what it sounded like the OP was looking for. It doesn't specify whether it's for Gerber printers, or just the sprocket cutters. Contact them and ask em'.
  7. AI conundrum

    Not unethical at all. Artwork that can be copyrighted must be created by a human, hence, AI generated artwork can't be copyrighted, and has case law rulings by courts and the USCO to back it up. The exceptions to this pretty much open source use is if it contains copyrighted elements, like in...
  8. Discussion Are Projected Signs the future?

    With all the LED stage backdrops and walls, flexible panels, modular wall panels, etc on the market, you can do anything from portable displays for trade shows, local theater & venue backdrops, to encapsulating an entire building. There's no need to reinvent the wheel to go big and bold. Just...
  9. Discussion Are Projected Signs the future?

    Biggest issue with lasers is ambient lighting. From dusk till dawn, they work well, and look pretty cool, but for daytime use they're pretty much a no-go, so you lose half your advertising opportunity. I've performed on stages in venues that used lasers to enhance shows, and trust me, you don't...
  10. Canva

    Dumb it down, don't try to explain file formats, resolution, colors... The language I found best to explain it to them is that Canva is a free/ low cost option available mainly for web graphics, things you would do on a desktop printer, or for small format crafting projects on devices like...
  11. Poblocki Sign Company Shut Down?

    Couldn't have said it better myself. We're one of those smaller companies, not struggling, making good profits, and a good chance we could sustain that indefinitely, and be grateful :thumb:
  12. Poblocki Sign Company Shut Down?

    A little town called Brokaw, just north of Wausau. It finally got annexed into another township a few years back, which lowered the taxes that skyrocketed to maintain roads & services, and some of the empty lots are slowly being built on again, but much of it is still just empty lots. The mill...
  13. Poblocki Sign Company Shut Down?

    Damn Bro... Impressive! Cheers :toasting: I'm stuck alone at the shop more than not, all I have to pick on all day are these troublemakers, who end up picking on me more than me picking on them.
  14. which software would be better to use

    Pro Vehicle Outlines is subscription based, you pay annually for the entire collection, great if it's your bread & butter, but not so cost effective if you don't use it daily. Bad Wraps can be purchased individually, which is good if you only need a template here and there. There are a lot of...
  15. BEST CHROME VINYL

    RGI's Mirror Chrome is about the best I've found. 10 year, non tarnishing. Not cheap, but all their stuff is worth it when you want the best. https://realgoldinc.myshopify.com/products/reverse-cut-mirror-chrome-vinyl
  16. Poblocki Sign Company Shut Down?

    Our company has been around for over 50 years, and our owner was shocked to hear it closed. Said we used to do a lot with Poblocki, never had any issues, then nothing for years (assuming since the acquisition). For all the shop personnel, the Milwaukee- Chicago area is kind of the mid west hub...
  17. In need of a fabric banner

    Used to print a ton of fabric banners for trade shows and backdrops, table runners & skirts... Ultraflex in a post above was one material I used. Others I used were from Big Systems down the road from you in Menominee Falls. Used their BigSol 753 satin polyester fabric and WetJet 454 heavy...
  18. Just replaced both print heads (OEM) on my SG-300, now it won't print anything

    Depends on what fuse, and where in the chain. There are a couple of std barrel fuses, but the ones that usually blow are soldered on the boards. You'll have to use a multimeter and test to see which one. It's been a hot minute since I dealt with Roland's, maybe someone else can point out the...
  19. Just replaced both print heads (OEM) on my SG-300, now it won't print anything

    Roland's are very temperamental with their electronics. One cable set wrong, one drop of ink on anything electronic (especially the ribbon cables and connectors, don't completely disconnect power and let capacitors discharge before you do anything, and fuses, sometimes even boards go bye-bye...
  20. Poblocki Sign Company Shut Down?

    Damn... They've been around forever. Used to do a lot with them. If he did sell out to an investment company, it's not surprising they closed, they just pillage and plunder companies.
