  1. Customer put my road sign on a 40' pole

    I would be more worried about a sign that was made to sit close to the ground being incorrectly affixed to a pole 40' up in the air. Be sure you keep a photo of it mounted on the ground so that if it falls they don't try to blame you.
  2. Question Color + White + Color on Epson S80600

    I updated my post above with an informational PDF that I learned it from.
  3. Question Color + White + Color on Epson S80600

    Yes, we have done it with Onyx, but we now only have Epson S60600 machines here as we never really used the white much. Obviously you have to set up your file correctly first (everything has to be overprint). You have to be using a correct Profile in the RIP that supports the white/layering...
  4. Background Removal Software

    The topaz one works about as good as it is going to without using Photoshop to do it manually. It does take some learning tinkering and not every photo works well but it can do a great job of masking really complicated objects like hair.
  5. Recommendations on Sign Shop Management Software?

    In this case it is about migrating from one software to another. Data migration is moving data from our current software into another, it is also something we desire in this move though.
  6. Wanted Looking for USED 60"^ Heat Assisted Laminator (seal, royal, GBC)

    In response to the above post about laminator setup/maintenance on GFP: When we purchased the first GFP563th we have the vendor set it up for us and we've never had issues out of it that require "tweaking" or "adjustment". It laminates thousands of rolls per year and is around 6 years old. We do...
  7. White Lettering: 3M IJ170C Question

    I would just get a roll of 3M 7125 for this. Rivets aren't much of an issue without air release vinyl, just squeegee and post heat them after you pull the app tape. You wont want to wrap a vehicle using vinyl without comply (air release).
  8. Recommendations on Sign Shop Management Software?

    I aint got time for that. I have design work to do, lol. But, thank you! Our previous system was pretty robust, but was built 8 years ago when we were at a different point in our business' growth. We have almost tripled our revenue, employees, etc and it is just kind of cumbersome to deal with...
  9. Wanted Looking for USED 60"^ Heat Assisted Laminator (seal, royal, GBC)

    Check our GFP! Trigon Imaging has them in stock in Ohio. We have three and LOVE them.
  10. print on engine Turn

    You can order RealGold by the foot or yard and print it on an ecosolvent printer. We do it all the time.
  11. Recommendations on Sign Shop Management Software?

    We had a custom piece of software written for us around 8 years ago to manage our business/production here, but we are really starting to outgrow it. We are now looking at migrating over to a different software that is more robust and easier to manage. What software is everyone here using? What...
  12. is My gerber LE dead? Cant print anymore, video inside.

    With these older Gerbers the easiest fix you can do is to unseat and reseat every connection you can find inside of it. A lot of the time this fixes the issue.
  13. uv printer

    I hear of strong smells and possibly allergies to the ink on here.
  14. What happened to PDAA?

    Check out IBOW wrap training. http://www.ibowtraining.com/live-classes.html
  15. Epson Edge Dashboard

    I have never used the Epson Edge Dashboard in around 6 years of running S-series printers. You can do everything you need to in Onyx (or other rip) or on the printer itself.
  16. Need Help Nozzel test cyan prints black, magenta prints organge

    Magenta and yellow share the same pump and black/cyan share the other pump. The caps Y into the pump and if the ink sets and doesn't pump correctly ink will flow back up into the other head(s) and make your colors off. These printers are just "gravity fed" systems under no pressure in the lines.
  17. pricing for installation of dimensional letters

    Pre-prep at the office can go a long way on cutting down on on-site time. Having a good template/pattern and having all letters pre-taped or studs inserted saves time. Bagging words/areas separately also cuts down on figuring out what goes where.
  18. Cutter/trimmer vs knife and straight edge

    We have a 96"+ keencut that gets used every day on shorter panels like van wraps. For the longer straight cuts it has to be a ruler and knife and we just roll it out/up on either end as we go.
  19. Metallic gold vinyl

    We have printed on most of the 3M 220/7125 series metallic vinyls without issues. Contour cutting is a pain sometimes though.
