  1. Pollywog Sign trade supplier in Canada?

    http://www.signocity.com/polybag-signs/ Used them a few times, pretty happy with the results.
  2. Any Experiences with C001 Banding Tool?- Square Posts?

    I'm not sure I would trust any tape, even VHB to hold a metal sign of that size up. why would a fast food place care if you can see a fastener? it's not like the place is classy.
  3. Question about installation preference regarding inks - NOT about vinyl.

    Yeah the Avery wrap classes were (possibly still are) sponsored by Mutoh, so no wonder they were saying things like this about Latex. I'm not a latex fanboy by any means but I'm pretty sure it does just fine on wraps as quite a few wrap shops run latex machines.
  4. HP LX850 Constant Printhead Reseating (What's the real problem?)

    I thought one of the selling points of the Latex printers is that you could let them sit for months and they would fire right up and print perfectly?
  5. Your thoughts on unconventional yard sign production...

    Still not following, what is a laminator stop mark? are you using some type of laminator that i've never heard of? I had someone else in our shop read your explanation and he couldn't figure it out either. I would be interested to see a video or something of this process.

    Can you clarify this, i'm not sure I follow...
  7. Your thoughts on unconventional yard sign production...

    If you are doing 100 signs like in your example, you would not be mounting them individually. you would print them as 4x8 sheets, mount to both sides and trim them out. We have a rolls roller so we can do them pretty quick, I would estimate 100 double sided coroplast signs 24"x16" would take...
  8. Tru vis VS. Versacamm?

    The VG has a few advantages over the SG 1. Twice as many print heads= twice the print speed 2. The VG is available in 64" width 3. The VG comes with a take up reel as standard As for quality, both printers would have the same quality. In my opinion all you need is CMYK, the silver and...
  9. Whats your shop layout look like.

    has it had any effect on your business? or is it just more of a cool thing to have?
  10. neon window sign alternative

    We had a client like this once, she had a shop she used who did very cheap work, but they had a $250 shop minimum, so she always came to us for the tiny jobs that she needed in a rush that the other shop wouldn't touch. After being told multiple times by her that she would send the next big...
  11. neon window sign alternative

    Next time she calls, tell her due to a higher than usual work load, quotes now have a 5-6 week lead time, and if she's willing to wait you would be more than happy to supply her with a quote.
  12. New Epson S80600

    Take this for what it's worth, but there may be a reason the sign industry is dominated by 4 major players, Roland, HP, Mutoh and Mimaki. Drop any of these printers in a standard sign and graphic shop and they will be perfect for 99% of the work needed of them. They all have proven to be...
  13. Adobe to Corel

    If you have no real reason to switch, why would you inflict a learning curve on yourself, not to mention all the converting files and potential inporting issues that may arise. If it ain't broke...
  14. Whats your shop layout look like.

    he's ours, don't mind the mess, we've been to busy to clean for the last 4 months!
  15. Tru vis VS. Versacamm?

    I've owned 4 Roland printers over the past 10 years, I've never once had to replace a print head so I'm really not up to date with cost or anything.
  16. Tru vis VS. Versacamm?

    My dealer explained that it was a cost issue, Roland wasn't happy with Epson raising the prices of print heads constantly.
  17. Tru vis VS. Versacamm?

    I was told that Roland was under contract with Epson for ink and print heads for years, but that contract ended last year, Roland decided to not renew because ink and heads were getting out of hand price wise, so the new Flex-fire heads in the Tru-vis printers are made by Ricoh, not sure who...
  18. Tru vis VS. Versacamm?

    Nope, it's been pretty solid really. The quality is amazing, much bigger gamut than our last Roland, good speeds , seems to be built like a tank.
  19. HP Latex Mobile App hooked up to someone else's printer?! WTF

    Skynet is becoming self aware, run!
  20. Tru vis VS. Versacamm?

    We are running the 64" Tru-Vis, what would you like to know?
