  1. Mack Daddy Heat Gun

    I was going to try out one of those $8 heat guns, also. Have you had good luck with them? I'm interested in the expensive gun primarily(really almost exclusively) for post heating. Thinking I could put a less skilled helper on this not-so-glamorous, but very important step but still trust...

  3. Orca III, AGL or Similar Laminator

    We're looking to add another laminator. Anyone have an Orca III or something similar that they'd like to sell or know where to find one?
  4. How much compensation for a employee with zero experience/competency?

    We've had better success hiring people with no experience in the sign industry and training them. As such, our starting wages are lower but we also offer benefits that average out to $4 per hour on top of their hourly rate. I'd love to offer a pay for performance compensation model but just...
  5. Baldrige/Shingo

    Thanks for the link. I didn't read the whole article but understand some of the limitations of the awards program. Our mentor pointed out that much more emphasis has been placed on results in the last several years(the linked article is from 1991). We're not applying for an award. Through the...
  6. Baldrige/Shingo

    We were selected to participate in a program run by our state to, among other things, go through the Baldrige Self Discovery. It's pretty intense. I'm just wondering if anyone here has taken their company through it or a similar program(Shingo, for example).

  8. Ornamental Post & Panel Vendors

    Thanks for the lead, Gary. Unfortunately, they don't carry what we're looking for. Any other ideas out there? Here's what we need(pic below) - 4" posts, bases and acorn finials.
  9. Ornamental Post & Panel Vendors

    We've got a project with a tight deadline that Ornamental Post and Panel can't meet. Can anyone recommend another vendor that carries similar products?

    Thank you! These are it but... The ones available from those sources are 4 1/8". The ones I'm trying to match are 4 1/2". Any other ideas on places to check?

  14. Trying to hit a pms color I have printed before!

    Update: I still can't figure out how to get back to the original colors. Like I mentioned before it was the very first job I ran on the printer and I think it must have to do with the linearization. Because all of the other settings are the same. Like I mentioned before there are 2 colors in...
  15. Trying to hit a pms color I have printed before!

    I don't see anything in onyx where you can see spot color replacements for individual jobs, it has a list of pantone colors but I don't even see the lab colors that correlate with those colors.
  16. Trying to hit a pms color I have printed before!

    It is something with the way it is ripping. I can re rip an old file(pdf) and it will not print the original color. I have tried removing the spot color replacement when ripping and that isn't it either. The only way i can have it print the original color is with the original file that was...
  17. Trying to hit a pms color I have printed before!

    Hello, We have a HPL26500 latex printer we bought last year using Onyx postershop 10.1. The first job I ran I printed some pantone colors for a client. One of which was a percentage of a color. Since then I have learned more about the printer and changed the passes/ some other settings. Now...

  19. Radiant Heat in Shop

    We are getting a new shop up and running. It's a 60x160, insulated, steel building with an approx. 20' ceiling. We installed two waste oil furnaces and so far, they are awesome. Our state has a tax credit on them, which helps on the front end cost. We've been able to find several sources for...
