  1. Facebook Marketplace anyone?

    FB Marketplace works if you are trying to sell items, like your baby bed or a used car. Signs don't work that way. The best I have found historically was advertising in the yellow pages. People don't even think about sign shops until they need a sign. Therefore all the traditional...
  2. Kestrel sticks?

    We've done a couple of Kestrel stick conversions. Very easy to fit, makes for a quick no-fuss conversion that takes about 5 minutes longer than just changing the bulbs. And the 5 minutes is just because you have to disconnect the transformer and hook up the power supply. The oldest one we did...
  3. Omegabond go on a diet?

    They may have reduced the thickness of the aluminum sheets.
  4. Font Required

    It's not that one. The R is wrong.
  5. Question Shipping Rate Going Crazy

    Do you ever ship things yourself? You'll see why companies are charging so much for shipping.
  6. Proposed Ban On Chlorinated Pigments In Ink...Any Thoughts On This?

    And what fringe group are you talking about that picked up on the gas stove ban? The president and his masters?
  7. Proposed Ban On Chlorinated Pigments In Ink...Any Thoughts On This?

    Are you one of those right wing sign makers?
  8. Proposed Ban On Chlorinated Pigments In Ink...Any Thoughts On This?

    When you consider banning stoves is proposed, I don't think you need somebody looking for an industrial win to have these kinds of proposals.
  9. Gold and Reflective Striping

    Grimco sells it. It's in their traffic section. It's called Conspicuity Tape Series 983.
  10. Suggestions how to cut 50 pieces of vinyl effectively

    If it's only 50 pieces you could get all of them cut before you could figure up some kind of jig, go to the hardware store and buy the materials, much less build and test it.
  11. Installing 14ft banner on square posts

    Eyescrews in the wood posts
  12. Epson s80600 - will disabling one of the heads effectively sentence that head, its cap tops, and lines to death?

    Nope. It's not turned completely off. You are just selecting whether to use head 1, head 2, or both for that printing job and all subsequent ones until you change the setting. All maintenance functions continue on both heads regardless of the print setting.
  13. RV Decal swish problem

    If you make exact duplicates of the original shapes, you would tape your upper pieces over the ghosted locations. Then position the wave piece to line up with them. After installing the wave piece, you would then install the upper pieces to fit in the cutouts for the swoosh tips.
  14. Epson s80600 - will disabling one of the heads effectively sentence that head, its cap tops, and lines to death?

    No. It cleans normally. It doesn't really disable the head. It just doesn't print with it. The setting in the printer menu doesn't say "disable". It says Print with both, print with head 1, or print with head 2. (Not in sentence English like that). The head is still on and activated. When it...
  15. Epson s80600 - will disabling one of the heads effectively sentence that head, its cap tops, and lines to death?

    On the Epson disabling the head just means you don't, print with it until you change the setting. The printer still does ink circulations, head cleanings, and when you run test prints it still makes the test patterns with the head you're not printing with. No additional maintenance is necessary.
  16. Epson s80600 - will disabling one of the heads effectively sentence that head, its cap tops, and lines to death?

    If one of your heads has a color fail or many clogged nozzles, you can print with the other, albeit at a slower rate, without the print defects. It you have a head alignment problem (alignment between the two heads) printing with only one head gets rid of the blurriness and double lines.
  17. Font Id help.

    There are fonts with Ws like that. I found some that were close but had different u.
  18. Opinion Before buying a graphtec plotter

    On the other hand, I've been doing signs for over 30 years now, and have always used Graphtec plotters. I can recall one occasion where we had one that was wearing down and we sent it back for a refurbishing, and that is all I have ever had to have done among the 3 Graphtec plotters I have used...
  19. Wrapping truck utility box

    They probably quoted higher on the Jaguar because they figure a Jaguar owner is more likely to come back demanding things be fixed....so they have to break their routine to do things better.
  20. Shipping Boxes

    Yeah, I've received packages in USPS boxes turned inside out and it really makes me think a lot less of the company that did it. The box looks like crap that way, the pull string is on the outside, and they are weak when they are ruined that way so the contents get crushed. It's pretty rich on...
