  1. Question Will any paint/vinyl/UV Printing stick to the polyethylene core in ACM?

    If you can spray with Matthews, the plastic primer should work well. I think it's called Tie something. I've never Cnc cut into ACM like this, but I would be concerned about that super thin aluminum causing problems.
  2. Need Help Best plastic substrate for exterior osha signs

    We use 3mm ACM. Yes, contractors will spec plastic or fiberglass or other weird materials. Just tell your customer ACM (or whatever your preferred material) is what it is going to be.
  3. Question Length limit of print & cut on Graphtec?

    8ft can be a little on the longer side, depending what model Graphtec you have. You have to make sure it is feeding through VERY straight.
  4. Looking for a supplier: LED lightbox UV print fabric 9'x8'

  5. Alternative to JRS for architectural aluminum frames?

    Are there any alternatives to JRS for interior architectural aluminum frames? Just the simple perimeter border type frame. I have to match some existing signs, otherwise I never sell their wares. The last order took 2 months for 1 simple rectangle frame. TIA
  6. Anyone know what manufacturer sells these changeable letter signs?

    Ugh, these changeable letter signs are so ugly. Esco Mfg has a school and church sign division.
  7. price check please

    $95 sounds like a good retail price. If this customer is handling the end user, more like $65 is appropriate. We make ADA signs in house also. I shy away from wholesale work cuz the margins are too thin. We've never painted the applique before. How do you even do that? Paint clear applique then...
  8. Power line right of way.. can't do a sign?

    I believe we had the power company put some kind of cover on the line once. Four feet is crazy close though.

  10. Design proof color issues.

    IMO, you can disclaimer this all you want, but you still end up with a disappointed customer. If these are not large jobs, I would suck it up and redo them. 2 jobs over 8 years is a pretty good record. Chalk it up to the cost of fast, efficient proofing. The alternatives, like asking your...
  11. Planning to buy Mimaki UCJV 300 to print white ink - thoughts?

    I've been looking at this machine too. How is the white ink if not used every day?
  12. Hanging fabric banners with alum tube frame

    I'm looking for vendors to make a custom large hanging fabric banner with round alum tube framework. Orbus and Moss are 2 companies I know of....just looking for other sources. Preferably in the Midwest. This is what I am looking for...
  13. Union Sign Installers in Chicago?

    Doyle and Parvin Clauss are good companies.
  14. Ring Central ??

    An auto attendant for a 1-man shop could be annoying to your customers. I would think that is part of your appeal - that you will answer right away. It may appear to be a little odd, too. Dial 1 for Tex.....and that's it. On the flip side, we recently implemented an auto attendant, and it is...
  15. Signs 365's website

    How is this process fast? It is painful and very slow. We do a lot of yard sign orders where each one is different. S365's process now is tedious and prone to error (loading each file individually - can easily miss one or select one twice, etc). I love the convenience of ordering yard signs...

  17. What gives w window graphics inside?

    Are you sure exceptions were made for the others? Much more likely that the others just did not get permits.
  18. Question Signs365 fabric banners. Impressions?

    Sorry about that, I stand corrected. I'll reach out for a sample
  19. Do you warranty your signs?????????????

    If you are doing work for a construction project, better take a close look at the paperwork. You are likely guaranteeing your work for 5 years, whether you like it or not.
