Personally I wouldn't waste time cutting the panels down to 40". Nothing wrong with negative space. The stringers do not go around the perimeter of the sign unless you are trying to create a solid shape (which would require painting the stringers). But making the perimeter is unnecessary work...

We screw treated lumber stringers to the wall. Gino will say that invites birds nests and wasps, but bird nests have never been a problem and I've been doing this for almost 30 years. Then you can attach the faces to the stringers with screws into the wood. Way easier to handle on a multipanel...

I just got a little non-heat wicking humidifier at Lowes. It's made by Essick. I don't think they sell them any more but I can still get the wicks for it. It didn't cost very much and works well. Looks like Essick got taken over by Aircare and they raised the price, but this is it...

Maybe you had one of their "revolutionary new low-tack removable vinyl" products that predominate their website?

What exactly are you going to do? That would make a difference in how you would approach it. Are you cutting lettering to put on it? Completely covering the windscreen in black? Applying a band at top or bottom?

This is the case for us too. We aren't ahead of last year, but the 30% we fell behind in March/April has been steadily catching back up. The unprecedented amount of boat sales that started in April and continued until the dealers pretty much sold every boat in the country and had empty lots...

You have to make it look good. Find what appears to be the line of the vehicle, and make everything look like it's aligned with that. Sometimes that is the baseline of the door cuts. Sometimes it's the waistline of the car. Sometimes it's a trim line. Sometimes you have to "cheat" your line...

We use an old Mimaki CG-FX 130. We use Substance, but not the clear, so I have no idea if it would read the marks. When we have trouble with it reading marks, we put a piece of application tape over the marks and redraw them with a superfine Sharpie.

There is a certain part of sign making (or bike graphics making) where you have to put in some time and effort of your own to solve problems like color matching. That's why $15 of materials is actually worth $250 from an established company that is able to make consistent products that are the...

We put a piece of premask (application) tape over the registration marks and redraw them with a Sharpie pen when the sensor can't read them. Unfortunately the problem with the cutting going off is due to the media bulging and shifting as the cutting progresses, as well as skew that happens as...

Check for a piece of fuzz on or near the black printhead. Use a mini LED flashlight.

I would recommend even before calling the city that you download and print a copy of the city and the county's sign ordinance. You will find many of your answers there. Many jurisdictions put sign permits under their building department, and so you often have to have a contractor's license to...

To fix the ink limits you would have to redo the profile. Do you have the equipment necessary to make a profile?

To me it looks like your ink limits may be too high. The ink looks like it's puddled up on the media.

If the 80600 is like the 70670, you can't run sheet media. If it cannot sense back pressure on a supply roll, an alarm goes off that it's out of media.

I haven't found that one. But the knockoff fonts that are available are typically named NCAA [the name of the college here] or just the name of the college. https://famfonts.com/tag/ncaa/ https://www.ffonts.net/tag/0/ncaa

That's the one NCAA font that isn't available. And the university branding guidelines don't include that font.

I can write on a piece of paper with a Magic Marker in 30 minutes or less....

What college is it? Sometimes I have found the necessary fonts, or at least their names, right on the college athletic department's website. Or on the school's marketing department website. There are also some fonts I've found as knockoffs for schools like Nebraska, Missouri, and others by...
