  1. Digital LED Directories

    don't know a lot about this stuff but from what i have seen roland has a pretty simple set up for this. check with local rep or area distributor for roland. Tyrrell tech and i think N. Glantz used to sell a kit as well.
  2. Where can I get outdoor LED edge light strips?

    try N. Glantz they carry LED light strips don't know for sure they have what you need but i know they carry the LED strips
  3. printing decals for 3M

    you could always just take them off the liner and apply them to a 3M liner (not saying i would ever do such a thing :rolleyes:)
  4. Grainy Print on SP-300V

    yeah i would check the heat +1 to that
  5. How often is your flatbed or other equipment down?

    we have a roland LEJ about 3-4 years now (maybe 4-5 have to check, my memory filled with current work load...haha) ours has gone down a few times but not normally major stuff. we have replace a few heads (2 white,, 1 cyan and 1 magenta) the whites where under warranty and the other two were...
  6. wrapping extreme corners.

    Heat, stretching and patience...... Lots of patience. Or if all else fails see if you can put a seem there. (not the best but may look better then wrinkles or risk of it pulling back from all the stretching)
  7. Laminator Rollers Up or Down?

    we have three laminators and when we purchased the one they guy told us to keep it up when not in use to prevent flat spot but we have one that we bought about 5 years before that one and it is always down. never had an issue. i would say to be safe leave them open but if you forget don't lose...
  8. Most magnetic magnets?

    i would suggest a snap frame or a slide frame holder that would be the easiest but if it has to be magnets you could make a pvc or some sort of rigid nameplate and mount these magnets to the back. they have a pretty powerful magnet. also you can get magnetic vinyl in .060 thick that's better...
  9. Why do I like Fellers?

    we have 4 suppliers we use and they all have something they are good at. we just have to make sure we order from them accordingly and with all of them over the years i have heard different people who have had bad experiences with all of them but for us as long as we use them for what they are...
  10. just a funny one..........................................

    don't ask questions just take the praise. normally that email or phone call is to complain about something. every once in a while we will get a letter or an email or a phone call thanking us for a good job which does feel good but i feel better just receiving the payment..haha
  11. Any ideas on how i can make this work???

    if you are trying to cover it with a decal that is not the best. the vinyl will shrink and if you are going over the buttons the vinyl will ware out.
  12. Any ideas on how i can make this work???

    the only way you can do it is the way they are presently doing it and it's going to cost because there is a lot involved. we make overlays like that and it's a big process. you have to silk screen it (this is the only process you could save on because you could flatbed uv them) then you have to...
  13. Why do designers really not understand us sign people?

    that must have been the same company i worked with and i got " well, i do this all the time with no issues. i don't understand why you can't handle this" they actually tried telling my customer they should go somewhere else. hey if i don't have the font it's not that hard to create...
  14. color matching

    catzper can be a pain with certain colors (red/burgandys and grays are the worst) that's not because of the program but because of the cymk printing. one thing i have done is do my first round and pick the closest color on that sheet then run catzper again using the new close color and...
  15. color matching

    if you keep going they way you are doing it you waste a lot of time and material trying to get the right color
  16. color matching

    if you have to do a lot of color matching the best/ easiest way to start off is get catzper by nazdar. leave all the guess work out and if you want to get involved get the spectrometer and learn how to use it.
  17. Crack Back labels

    stouse
  18. Black not printing

    what does the printer status say on the ink levels? did you try to pull some ink through with a syringe? try putting a new cart in, maybe something is wrong with the cart or the chip?
  19. Aluminum Swing Sign Post

    http://www.howardindustries.com/ try these guys just buy the parts and add the hardware to hang your sign
  20. XC540 big magenta streaks

    never saw that before and not sure but.... check the capping station and hoses. maybe something is clogged and the ink won't drain so it's backing up in the head and on your prints.
