  1. Discussion Led signboard installation

    Yes you need to call a professional to install them.
  2. News Howdy from Texas

    zspace, Glad y'all made it ok. It was pretty bad out there. I have seen it worse in north texas, but thankfully not in a long time. The other ice storms were just as bad, but I don't remember loosing power like we did this time. I did see quite a few people that didnt seem to prepare for it (IE...
  3. Texans may not want to print today....

    We been lucky. Offices didn't lose power at all. House is on a 30 on 30 off cycle. I have gen backup but haven't used it. NG appliances so we are making out fine. I have been helping the PD winch cars out of ditches because 2 of the 4 wrecker services here are down with gelled fuel. Y'all stay safe.
  4. Good morning...from Texas

    My daughter was snowboarding down the street.
  5. Be safe out there....

    I feel bad for those people. It is a miracle only 6 people lost their lives, as sad as that is to say. All we could do is say a prayer for those involved. Heard an interview on WBAP with a guy that was in the initial wreck. He said the road was clear and dry except for that section. He said you...
  6. 13oz or 18oz banner install

    I would use 13oz and a spring or tension system. You will never get it pulled tight enough for it to lay flat. Plus this time of year if you did get it tight, as soon as it warms up it will start sagging.
  7. WIND LOAD CALCULATION FOR CHANNEL LETTERS

    I surely hope your joking. That is a really sore spot for us that invest in equipment, insurance, location, the 8 years it takes to get licensed in TX, MET or UL cert, etc. Don't get me wrong 30 years ago that was me but about 20 years ago I changed my way of thinking. Best decision I ever...
  8. Question Durable solution for concrete stickers?

    I dont know about y'all, but any scraps that land sticky side down on our concrete floor will stick like no other. We have to razor scraper the floor to remove them. So my suggestion would be, make it out of whatever you like, don't clean the concrete, and just step on the decal. It will never...
  9. Repainting large logo murals on exterior concrete walls - first time- help!

    Hire a painter come in and do them. Add a % for your troubles plus lift rental and materials. Even if you have to fly someone in and put them in a hotel it will be worth it.
  10. Need Help Acceptable Clear spray coat over UV inks

    You would have to test it with your inks. I have cleared over solvent and resin foil fine but we dont run UV. The clear we use is a solvent based urethane with a hardner.
  11. Need Help Acceptable Clear spray coat over UV inks

    We spray Automotive clearcoat with great success. I do have a paintbooth and 30 years of experience painting cars and bike though.
  12. Suggestion for cut vinyl wall lettering

    A cast film with a matte finish if the wall has large texture or the film is going to be on the wall for long period of time ( greater than 6 months). If its slick wall 631 for short term usage. Get a 3m test kit or make your own with some fishing weights.
  13. Supplier for 6061T6 Aluminum

    Coremark Metals is who we use.
  14. What was the smallest change you made in your business that had the biggest impact?

    Quit doing stuff for free. IE layouts before deposits. It weeds out the tire kickers. And started using Quickbooks and looking at what makes us the most ROI.
  15. Cost of Ink per job?

    I agree somewhat with victor above. :goodpost: I like to know annually what our ink usage was but it isn't a driving factor for budgeting and we use liters of ink a month. We charge a premium for our work. We took the time to evaluate and calculate the cost and profit margins into. We also have...
  16. Question Roland XR-640 print quality

    We have no size reference. How big is the lettering? That could be horrible if it is 24X36 inch or good if its 1x2 inch.
  17. Need Help 2015-2020 Ram Promaster City Emblems

    Wrapped a 2020 promaster city for a company about 3 weeks ago and of course my prep guy removed the emblems. Customer said nothing about saving them. My guy threw them away like most of the emblems we remove that are not going back on the vehicle. Anyway the customer wants his emblems and I am...
  18. textured garage doors

    First make sure there is no oxidation. Most metal garage doors have cheap enamel paint that chalks up with UV exposure. Clean the crap out of them and I would use cast cut film. Sounds like they were not clean enough.
  19. dually bed

    We will make sure our design is sort of generic in the fender area. Depending on the type of fender style we will either wrap the bedside in 1 piece or print an extra fender piece. We are big on printing everything in the wrap design with the exception of dually fenders. We will overlay...
