  1. Suggestions Frame for Dibond Sign

    There are aluminum extrusion frame systems available that your sign would fit into, but the frame will end up costing as much as or more than the sign. But they do look sharp. Too good, in fact, to zip tie to a chain link fence.
  2. Large Rooftop banner installation

    As long as the owner is OK with the roof leaking, you can do it. It won't leak while the banner is there, but the screwholes in the shingles and sheathing after you take it down?
  3. Need Help Cannot read OPOS marks on glitter vinyl.

    Put a piece of application tape over the registration marks, then use a fine point Sharpie to redraw the marks on the tape.
  4. Need A Font ID

    Whatever font they use has been filleted on the corners so that it can be domed. Are you saying that you work for Lexington Pontoons and they don't have a copy of their logo? Who made the pdf brochure on the website? Have you asked them? How did you get the logo to the previous manufacturer of...

  6. Need Help set cut start location

    You're cutting all the way through the material? That's the problem. Roll cutters aren't made to do that. And when you do need to cut all the way through, you need to use the perf cut feature which cuts essentially a dotted line so you can punch out the decal afterwards. That said, after over a...
  7. Printing fine print for labels

    You've got 1/2" of wasted width you could use to make the ingredients bigger.
  8. Embroidery person needs help with sign pricing

    Shop hourly rate is not calculated from a particular job or jobs. You work at it from the other end. Rent/mortgage, insurance, utilities, etc. Desired labor costs. Equipment purchase/lease and maintenance costs. Capital investment costs. Vehicle costs. Figure that up for a month, then figure out...
  9. Need Help set cut start location

    You are a newbie to cutters. Why do you think it will be important to command the cutter which vector to start from when it cuts a square? Every curve has a vector which is the start/end vector. You can set which vector is the start vector in your sign software when creating the file. You can...

  11. Vinyl Question

    You were two clicks away from this: http://www.generalformulations.com/getattachment/d869bfe1-d9a9-42d3-8542-c976d10ef100/.aspx The big problem will come if they used stain resistant paint. Removable vinyl will fall off after a short time on that kind of paint.
  12. Wanting to expand home-based business.

    Just no. Unless you have a big market for posters or doing photo enlargement, there's not really a sign-related reason to have a water based inkjet. You cannot get the prints to last outdoors no matter what you do.
  13. Wanting to expand home-based business.

    Mimaki and Roland are entry level. There's basically only one level. It's the price of entry. Either you need to jump in with both feet and be a real sign shop, or be a hobbyist.
  14. Need Help Making ICC Profile, grey's are green ??

    Depending on your RIP, that can sometimes be in the section about how it reproduces gray. If it uses gray replacement (I think it's called) it uses CMY to make gray, but it turns out green.
  15. PPP Sites that you can file on

    They care about bad PR. That's all they care about. So you can be sure that if any more publicly traded mega corporations get PPP funds, it will be outed this time around.
  16. Substance x1 profile for 8 color setup mimaki

    You may want to contact the dealer you bought your printer from and see if they provide this service or know someone who does. You've chosen to use a niche product from a niche supplier in a niche industry. It's unlikely there will be a profile that's widely available and that's why if you want...

    You'll probably have to make your own.
  18. PPP Sites that you can file on

    I have a feeling that now that all the big banks have been shamed for what they did (only process giant loans for giant companies so they could get bigger commissions) and the big corporations and universities with massive endowments and net worth have been shamed for taking the loans the first...
  19. Font Help Please

    Actually, no. It will not. I use it, and it can sometimes recognize fonts. But I would not say most.
