Yes. Among the reasons: - Because while the customer tells you "I'm only going to have them out for a couple of months", that turns into a couple of years and they start to look like shit- then you've got someone going around bad-mouthing your company. - The laminate keeps it from getting...

I'm not seeing the fuzziness you're referring to- perhaps because the photos aren't close enough to catch them. I can think of some reasons that might happen, though... - As Pauly mentioned, the media height could be off. - You don't mention what type of printer you have, but if you're running...

Are you meaning you want opaque second surface? Reverse print on 3M 8150 or 3650 and laminate with the white block out media (can't remember the part number).

Nope... he said "folding." And I have to agree- no material is going to be crease-free after folding. If the customer wants to reuse them, they need to be store rolled onto a core so they'll be in good shape afterwards. And you need to spell that out for them explicitly, and do not cave in when...

They do, indeed, exist. They're Seiko/Oki printers. I run five H2-74s models with the eight color (CMYKLcLmGYLg) set and it does beautiful prints. The difference between it and the 54 and 64 models is the size. The printers will accept rolls the size corresponding with the model number. Not sure...

From a guy who's worked in design and production, here's what I'd be asking you: Graphics department: - What color(s) vinyl are we using (never leave it up to the production staff to choose or you end up with no leg to stand on when the customer says "that's not the right red/yellow/whatever")...

I'm not familiar with ALS as an item name, but most channel letter would have a thinner (.032"-.063") aluminum return. Many suppliers offer it pre-painted, which saves on prep. While it's certainly might be something that's available, I'm not familiar with rolls coming "pre-notched," so if...

Hell of a way to get time off. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

My first thought is a communication issue. Perhaps a bad cable or router switch. I'd try changing them out first. That said, I've never run this particular printer- but swapping cables or routers has worked for me on other equipment that operated over networks.

I'm hoping you mean 6mm composite aluminum sheets, because I think it was a heck of a lot more than 40MPH winds if a 6mm aluminum sheet got torn up! It seems as if you assembled it in the most logical way. Maybe add a couple of more stringers and have a couple of inches gap at the bottom so it's...

Scaffolding to get to it. As far the caulk... Good question. I always trimmed away from it, but I'm by no means a wrap expert.

+1 on the R Tape. I don't have to do much application any more, but it's definitely my preferred brand and line, other than 3M.

Back some 15-20 years ago, I was the passenger in an auto accident and suffered a sever shoulder separation- one that would require surgery to get the bone back where it was supposed to be. The other option was to immobilize it and let it heal- realizing that I'd always have certain limitations...

Normally, as long as you have the dongle, they will do the upgrade. They'd normally ask you to register with them as the owner, too. This might not be the case anymore, though, but it used to be their SOP. Unfortunately, if they won't agree to that, you've got a boat anchor until you get a...

Put a bleed of one of the colors. Gerber's software calls it a choke, if I recall...

+1 on the stud method. I'm always leery of putting letters up on exterior walls using only adhesives.

I seriously doubt you're going to be able to run the Gerber software on a modern computer, but I'm kind of a pessimist. (Plus, you're unlikely to find one with a printer port to plug that dongle into). On the plus side, most newer sign softwares will run the Edge. And, as JBurns mentioned, you...

There are different cut marks for different plotters, I do recall that. I don't have access to the program at the moment to test. One easy work around (the one I always used) was to draw a box the size the product needed to be with no color fill and a black stroke. Your cut lines are there and...

I second swapping to LEDs that just install in your existing fixtures. Also, I'd personally make damned sure they're the appropriate lights to mimic sunlight (can't remember exact specs, but I suspect they're something along the lines of what Chris is recommending above) so you can tell what...

"Like" isn't really appropriate for this. I feel your pain!
