  2. Vinyl vs. Printing

    I too use a lot more cut vinyl than wraps. Unfortunately nowadays customers seemed to have picked up the lingo of calling everything a wrap, so often they will call or come in saying they want a wrap on their vehicle. But if you take the time to explain to them the difference between a wrap and...
  3. High Tack Vinyl issue

    It still does that to some degree. I believe it may depend on storage conditions. I switched suppliers and have a lot less trouble with it. The first supplier did not have an airconditioned warehouse and I think the heat makes the adhesive ooze more. But the vinyl was originally designed for...
  4. Is this a polycarb sign face?

    The size of this ellipse allows you to get two of them from a single 4x8. So if they have two of them you're golden. Yes. After you cut out your ellipse you put it on a piece of plywood, held in place with four screws sticking up out of the wood. You start your trim at some point on the...
  5. Is this a polycarb sign face?

    If it's only 64"x30" it's small as I suspected. It's likely acrylic. No need for the disadvantages of polycarb on a small face like that. The trimcap isn't all that expensive. A 150' roll ranges from $60-80 depending on brand and color for 1" wide. 2" wide is about $110. You can get it from...
  6. High Tack Vinyl issue

    I've never used that Orajet, but I've never had anything I couldn't get Arlon DPF8000 to stick to.
  7. Double sided window graphic?

    Perf on both sides won't work because you'll never get the holes to line up. And perf requires the "inside" to have less light. If they want a full window graphic that is right-reading and full on both sides, they will have to forego being able to see anything through the window. If it's a...
  8. Is this a polycarb sign face?

    It looks to me like the face was made like a channel letter. That gold trim would be something like Edgelite, glued to the edge of the face. It doesn't look real big so it could be acrylic or polycarbonate. To take the face off you unscrew all those screws around the edge and it just pulls off...

  10. Phasing out phone calls

    If your customers are young Gen Z-ers maybe you can do things without verbal communication, but I find that I get a lot more out of a few minutes of conversation to determine the actual needs and budget of the person who is calling, and can then guide them towards the best solution for their...
  11. Not sure if I'm using the correct terminology................................................................................

    I was never a user nor a dealer. But the terminology was so pervasive back then you couldn't avoid hearing it as a child and teenager, even if you weren't exactly sure what they were talking about. Cheech and Chong albums being played on the radio were a large part of that.

    I believe your answer is in this old thread: https://www.signs101.com/threads/saving-as-a-pdf-from-flex-8.56353/
  13. Not sure if I'm using the correct terminology................................................................................

    Nickel and dime bags were named for the cost, not how much was in them. And then there was a lid, which was a volume measurement based on a jar or coffee can lid.
  14. Not sure if I'm using the correct terminology................................................................................

    We don't use liquid laminate. I also don't consider a 12"x22" decal to be small. We'd have laminated it if it needed protection.
  15. Suggestions Smoothest Gloss Overlaminates

    Avery DOL1360Z, which is optically clear also. We use it as our standard wrap overlaminate and it doubles for window perf.
  16. Installation code of conduct agreement?

    Some of the nearby school districts use these payment services. They claim it makes it so you get paid quicker. I am not really sure why they would use them, but I suspect that one of the primary reasons an organization might use them is to prevent embezzlement by a secretary.
  17. Best practice for cut vinyl ACM sign

    Although ACM is less expensive than sheet aluminum, I disagree that it is always "cheap" in terms of quality. Particularly since in colors other than white, aluminum is typically only available in .040" thickness. And, regarding another comment, colored sheet aluminum is white on the back side...
  18. Getting a new Epson Printer!

    The Epson Edge on your computer must be an entirely different animal from the Epson Edge I have on my computer. Unless the bundled version of Onyx is called Epson Edge. I don't have that any more because when they came to install mine they took the bundled software away since I had bought the...

  20. Getting a new Epson Printer!

    Epson Edge is just a printer and media management app that runs from your browser. It doesn't print. So you will need to talk to your dealer about buying a RIP.
