  1. Another nifty thing for keeping T-posts taught with banners

    I'm sorry, do I not have the security clearance to respond to comments around here, Chief? It's not nitpicking, It's sharing my personal opinion just like anyone else. You are correct, 10 mil coro is the proper alternative, not MDO, but I didn't feel like being that 'nitpicky'. Well, there are...
  2. What do you suppose is causing this issue?

    Those faint lines are indicative that you may have a tiny bit of dust or debris hanging around the print head that is building up with ink and redepositing it onto the media as the print head moves back and forth. A thorough inspection and cleaning under the entire print head carriage with a...
  3. Another nifty thing for keeping T-posts taught with banners

    Ummm, 1/2" 4 mil plywood is $15-20 for a 4' x 8' sheet. 3/4" is $25-30, at least it is around here. If you want ground contact, you can get 1/2" GC plywood for $35. And using a sheet of plywood differs from this concept in what way (aside from plywood being generally superior)? Posts don't...
  4. Question Squeegee issues.

    Is your work table perfectly flat? If not, that may be why you preferred the plastic ones. I also preferred the plastic ones because the flexibility seemed to make up for the imperfections in the work table. The aluminum squeegees are technically much better, but ONLY if you have a perfectly...
  5. Another nifty thing for keeping T-posts taught with banners

    Mounting the banner to plywood between posts is the best way all-around to display a banner.
  6. Looking for this clipart image or something similar...

    I'm looking for a clipart image of an electronic poker/slots machine like the one in the image attached. Does anybody recognize this image and know where I can purchase it or know of a link to a similar image? I've spent about a half-hour on Google and Shutterstock so far to no avail. Most of...
  7. "Strecth the type to make it look better"

    I stretch text all the time if I need something to fit a space and the font family I'm using has no extended version. The difference is, I convert text to curves and edit the nodes to make it look proportional and legit.
  8. show me your small labels!

    I should have refreshed my page before replying, so I've deleted my reply. Lol.
  9. Disappointing when good customer doesn't pay...

    We've been in a VERY similar situation ourselves, lately. Our customer still owes us $900 for their last screen printed t-shirt order and we get the same runaround. They've even bounced a couple of checks but always pay up. We've been doing stuff for these guys for over 4 years now and even...
  10. Looking for a wholesaler who can do these magnets...

    Thanks, Dan. Signs 365 doesn't do custom sizes though, and they mount printed vinyl to their magnets so it wouldn't be very cost effective. I found a place to screen print them which is ideal for this job.
  11. Bad leadership

    Or find balance with a hobby if meditation isn't your thing. Hobbies can be a great way to relieve stress and relax.
  12. Question Orafol - Color Guide/Graphic Products book

    We're just a two-man shop in the middle of Central Illinois. I called to have our Oracal sales rep stop by the shop after we bought our printer and he had no problem coming through when he was in the area. He gave us samples of media and at least one copy of every guide they have including a...
  13. Looking for a wholesaler who can do these magnets...

    Hey, all. I'm looking for a wholesale printer that can do custom car magnets. SPECIFICALLY: Printed 30 mil magnet. Size: 6" wide x 10.5" tall w/ .5: radius corners. Print: One spot color on white background. Magnets can be screen printed or digital printed as long as they can match a specific...

    Looks like Square Slab
  15. Need a wholesale screenprinter for signs

    ...does screen printing? Since when?
  16. Stumped on this one

    Apple Chancery
  17. LOGO SITE ( like Brands of the World)

    Vector logo sites are cool if you just want to have some fun modifying logos, too. Hahaha!
  18. Help with Font Please

    But not entirely. obviously, there are also many people out there who are completely unaware these problems exist. I'm sure most of us here have been unknowingly guilty of using a bootleg font at some point.
  19. Pantone 539c in vinyl

    The RGB equivalent for PMS 539C comes up as R 0, G 43, B 69. I've attached an Oracal color conversion chart to reference those numbers against. Hopefully, that will help.
  20. Need suggestions for material to use

    I've only been in the business 8 years but we've done a lot of signs with Oracal 751 and 951 on painted panels that still look every bit as good as the day we did them. The paint might have turned a bit chalky by now but the vinyl still looks flawless. As far as print and laminate though, I'd...
