  1. Screen Printing education

    Good points. I cannot put enough emphasis on the pre-press work (proper art/film, quality screens, proper exposure when burning, etc.) when screen printing. Like G-artist said, anybody can learn to hand pull or push a button; but it takes time and lots of experience to develop a solid...
  2. Indy Imaging

    I recently had one of their sales reps call on me. Anybody ever used them or know anything about them?
  3. Going To See an Agfa in Action

    How is the roll to roll on the printer? Any adhesion/cracking issues?
  4. reason #3546576 why I dont like farmimg work out!!!!

    We have never farmed anything out until the last year or so. Its not something that we do a lot, but having a company that your comfortable with is key. We got burned once (infuriating) and learned from our mistakes. We now have a company that we trust, is close by and gets stuff done. Sorry...
  5. 3000 Coroplast Signs for how much!?

    Oh, sorry. Totally different ball game.
  6. 3000 Coroplast Signs for how much!?

    This is completely incorrect. We get around 350-400 hits per hour (and that is fast!). 3,000 pcs x 2 hits (2-sided)=6,000 hits. 6,000/400=15 hours of solid printing with no problems. To print 6000 hits in 4 hours, your are suggesting that somebody can print 1500 hits per hour which is...
  7. 3000 Coroplast Signs for how much!?

    Prices like that are not that crazy. It all depends on what your niche is. If you are a screen printer that is right up your alley. We screen print corrugated political signs all day, every day. There is a lower margin on those jobs because of the competitiveness, but it is still a healthy...
  8. 4' x 8' Screen Printing

    We have a 4'x8' automatic press that we use to print TONS of political signs/banners. We can crank out about 120-140 hits per hour depending on the temperature/humidity and ink system that we use. In fact, we just received our largest political order of the year on Friday. 1,000 4'x8's-1...
  9. Sunbrella Fabric outdoor banners?

    We screen print spot colors on the material with Nazdar's Flock Adhesive. As far as full color, I am not sure what method you would use.
  10. Best flatbed for corrugated plastic

    We are tradittionaly a screen printing company, but have been in the digital market for about 10 years. With the flatbed market taking over screen printed short runs, we are looking for a flatbed that would fill this niche. We print a TON of corrugated and aluminum signs, but also print...
  11. Using a Solvent Printer to make transparencies

    We do a lot of screen work (reclaiming/coating/burning) for local sign shop that uses a ink jet printer. It was sold as a film producing ink jet printer only. It works to an extent, but does not give you the results that you want. They can never get the ink dense/opaque enough to re-create a...
  12. Transparencies for 18x24

    Wasn't looking to be a supplier, just looking to help out a fellow sign maker.
  13. Transparencies for 18x24

    If you would like, we could produce film for you and ship it ups. If your interested, shoot me a pm for a price.
  14. Print on MDO sealing question

    Not always true. It depends on the temperature and the humidity of the facility. I have left some panels coated over the weekend (in the summer) to come in Monday morning and they are still way too sticky to handle. Allow yourself ample drying time when using oil base paints.
  15. Print on MDO sealing question

    We use MDO all the time. We print, mount and install to 3/4" primed MDO. Never had any issues. These are typically your construction/job site signs, etc. We would never sell this as a permanent sign, but is great for 2-3 year durability.
  16. Hemming a banner?

    I second the HH 66. We have been using it for years and have never had any problems. You can buy it through Snyder Manufacturing.
  17. Is things really that bad ???

    I have a guy in town that trys to beat down my price for every order. His first order was for 2,000 18"x24" corrugated signs, descent order. We had to match some online price that he had found, but picked up the order and made some money. Second order was 1,000 8"x18" corrugated signs, had to...
  18. Where to buy Magnetic Dry Erase Boards

    We produce a lot of these production boards for a two clients of ours. We print on vinyl and overlaminate it with dry erase. We laminate the decal to 24 guage steele that is then glued to high grade plywood. We frame the edges, crate it, ship and then bill it. Very profitable.
  19. Herculite Bantex Banner Media Anyone Ever Use?

    We have used their 13oz and 18oz for years. Both run beautifully on our printers.
  20. Do all resellers just suck?

    We do quite a bit of wholesale screen printing on corrugated around town and in our region. We don't have as quick of a lead time as some of these places online, but we never have claimed to. We ask for 5-10 business days and most customers are fine with that. As far as subbing out prints...
