  1. Alternatives to Neenah Endura 225?

    Hi Folks. We don't run a heckuva lot of 10mil poster, but we've had some negative experiences with the Neenah Endura 225, mostly in that it is very sticky on the last 1/3-1/4 of the roll, to the point where our Mimaki could not pull stock off the roll while printing and the surface finish just...
  2. Is the EasyEdge corner cutter a rebrand of the KW Trio corner cutter?

    Background: We have a KW Trio corner cutter here which has served us well, but for some reason a part went missing (the blue pad) and I can't seem to find who we ordered ours through (and KWTrio doesn't seem to sell our model any more). Another recent post concerning corner cutting led me to...
  3. Finecut 9 / Illustrator 2022 incompatability?

    Interesting - I'll give this a try - Thanks!
  4. Finecut 9 / Illustrator 2022 incompatability?

    We just updated to Illustrator 2022 here yesterday and it looks like my plugins got wiped. Finecut doesn't seem to want to install when I point it to the most recent version of Illustrator... anyone else run in to this yet?
  5. Seeking pantone-matched acrylic

    Can you suggest which paint would avoid this amine issue? Would an acrylic based paint get around this problem?
  6. Seeking pantone-matched acrylic

    The client insists they have done pantone-matched acrylic signage before and made it sound like it was easy - I don't have any record of that in our archives and they did not provide a photo example. For us to order such a specific colour (if we could find it), I'm sure it would be quite...
  7. Seeking pantone-matched acrylic

    Hi Folks, Can anyone here recommend a place for pantone-matched acrylic sheets in Canada? I'm near Toronto, if that helps. 1/8-3/8" thickness ideally, 4x8'? Customer is asking for this specifically and I'm at a loss as far as where to go. No immediate results are coming up when I check with my...
  8. Sign torn off - thoughts?

    Got it - Thanks All! I will take this back to our client with some pricing. Our shop has mostly worked with less permanent media for outdoor use in the past, and while we do use ACM and aluminum, often times it's either for interior work or it's a lot smaller.
  9. Sign torn off - thoughts?

    So 3mm alupanel composite is apparently what they had done previously, which is already a bit thicker than 0.08". I am waiting to hear back from the client as far as what type of fixture around the back was used - my assumption is a band bracket along the top and bottom. I'm attaching what the...
  10. Sign torn off - thoughts?

    Good Day folks, I need some guidance. One of our clients got in touch with us recently regarding a 2x3' 3mm alupanel sign (not made by us) which was (somehow) torn off a lamp post. I am weighing whether they need to make their material thicker and/or whether the fault is in where the holes were...
  11. "Shrek" Font Help Please

    They aren't looking for the official Shrek font, though. Just what was used on a sign from the movie.
  12. "Shrek" Font Help Please

    Based on the slight differences between the 'a', 'r', and 'e', it's possible they just had a calligrapher have a go at it. With that said, the lower case text looks a lot like Black Valentine Font. Not having a lot of luck finding an appropriate upper-case font that would suit this (checked...
