  1. Does anyone know this font?

  2. In general, how much does your printer cost you besides ink?

    In reality you need to approach from the standpoint of, "If this machine makes me so successful that my business grows and I have to contemplate buying another and hire someone to keep up, will I have enough money saved to buy it without borrowing?" If the answer is no, you aren't accounting for...
  3. Dirt Race Cars

    It's calendared material. You can't install it like cast wrap material. Even in a shallow angle like that you have to lay the material to the angle, then continue on to the edge. It will always lift back up if you bridge the gap and press it in, stretching the vinyl to make it stick. Typically...
  4. UV Printer & Prints Making us Sick

    My experience with UV prints is when I outsource direct printed coroplast signs. I've never received one that didn't stink from the whole time it arrived until the customer picked it up.
  5. Dirt Race Cars

    DPF4500 is calendared, so it's not conformable. But if you're doing cars that are made of flat sheet metal it will work except over rivets. Nothing will last longer if the car is driven in races. If you want better conformability you'll need to go to a cast material and laminate, which will...
  6. PDF page size issues

    It's importing because a pdf file is not the native file type for Corel Draw. It is in Illustrator, as they are both Adobe products. If you save the files as .cdr files you can drop them onto a corel draw icon and open them that way. But if you try to drop the .cdr file on Illustrator nothing...
  7. A-frame/Sandwich board

    Grimco shouldn't be charging shipping on orders over $100, at least I don't get charged. Maybe you should be talking to your Grimco rep about your account. And I think I can have them bring me signicades on the delivery truck anyway.
  8. Sign torn off - thoughts?

    Alupanel or any other brand ACP can tear off just from wind when mounted that way. Doesn't have to be vandalism. .080 aluminum is the correct material. Even thinner solid aluminum is unsatisfactory.
  9. One Shot Question, rolling, coating MDO, dust in finish

    Nothing wrong with One Shot or Bulletin Enamel from Ronan or someone. We only use latex if we want to coat a board without removing old vinyl lettering, and you never get a gloss finish from it. I was always taught to thin the paint to get the right flow and when I coat a panel, I still do it. I...

  11. Rant Look at that, two in one day...............................................

    Usually when I can't find a file in the computer it's because I accidentally saved it in the wrong alphabetic folder or gave it a name I can't think of any more.
  12. Pricing for a large format printer

    You have to figure out the average time the printer takes to do the jobs and work that into the square foot price so that you are always making enough money. Most people doing signs don't put enough cost calculation into their pricing and thus the amount they charge doesn't account for all the...
  13. Discussion Not quite sure how I feel about this....................... ??

    When it happens I take the misdelivered mail to the post office and tell them. Our town is small enough that they know where we are, where the mailboxes are, and who we are.

  15. Permit or pass?

    Except there are no sign codes. Electrical and building, yes, but not sign. Where you have laws comes in with city ordinances. The ordinance will be what requires the sign permit. And the ordinance will specify allowable sizes, types of sign, types of construction, etc. And what electrical code...
  16. Printed Windscreen?

    The customer likely has been searching the internet and found places like this: https://www.coversports.com/windscreens/?keyword=printed%20windscreen&gclid=Cj0KCQjwt-6LBhDlARIsAIPRQcLTFJ4LB3UYTArGntXG1WAKmUa5myXRF7qTQe6UzH8aSAnx4DKJ59MaAnICEALw_wcB...
  17. Permit or pass?

    I'm with Gino on this one. There is no "getting around" permits. Though there are some things about sign ordinances that are unduly restricting (because back about 20 years ago some anti-sign people went around giving cities and towns boilerplate ordinances that severely limit height, size, and...
  18. Printed Windscreen?

    You tell them, Oh. no. That's not mesh banner. It's printed windscreen fencing.
  19. Question Sign face down due to high wind advisory

    Using the customer's logic, he is responsible for the dents on the hood because he opened the hood to work on the engine.
  20. Question Sign face down due to high wind advisory

    Not at first. It took an angel to get him not to divorce her and send her away.
