  1. Dry Erase

    Depends on just what you're laminating with it. Rolling up the finished product can prove problematic if the print is on banner material. It most certainly begin to separate when rolled and unrolled. I speak from experience. On vinyl I can't say. Regardless, you'll be rolling up two [or more]...
  2. Question Whats your squeegee type for installing ?

    Easier to run the edge back and forth next to the raised half tubes in the middle of another squeegee.
  3. What is a Vinyl Sticker and what is a Vinyl decal?

    Another fine example of the popular fallacy Argumentum Ad Lexicon or Arguing from A Dictionary. For the nth time; a dictionary is descriptive, not definitive. A dictionary only describes word usage in vogue and of which the editors were aware at the time of publishing. It defines nothing...
  4. Employees on Cell Phones

    Mod Edit - uncalled for language
  5. Employees on Cell Phones

    Only mine, certainly not yours who mean nothing to me. 'Anyone else' in this context is correct, as much as you may be dismayed by that notion.
  6. Employees on Cell Phones

    And, having been notified of whatever catastrophe you might dream up, how exactly is your presence of even knowledge of the event going to make anything different than it would be had you been made aware at some later time? Your family or whatever might be important to you but it's most likely...
  7. Employees on Cell Phones

    What do your spawn have to do with your having to be on a cell phone? Ponder just how the human race managed to survive with these instruments of rudeness. A cell phone seems to give people an inflated self-importance. In reality there's very little in life that can't wait. Your house is on...
  8. What is a Vinyl Sticker and what is a Vinyl decal?

    Then your clientele are every bit as much the fool as you seem to be. For practice why don't you attempt to explain to them the difference between zero and nothing.
  9. Question new to the signs n printing industry really need the help guys

    Look at your keyboard. Familiarize yourself with the various punctuation characters on the right side. Notice also the presence of a shift key on either side of the keyboard. Spend some time practicing with these various features. If your post above were to be written in English complete with...
  10. How Concerned should I be about Gassing Out a print?

    There's lots of reasons for this but gasses from solvent isn't one of them. Solvent inks of any flavor dry via evaporation and when they're dry they're dry. The reason to wait a spell before attempting lamination is the the solvents effect changes in the vinyl rendering it rubbery and somewhat...
  11. Need Help Anyone recognize this font?

    In my collection it's called 'Charlesworth' but it seems to me that this face is identical with 'Charlemaine' however it's spelled.
  12. Need suggestions for printer/cutter

    And since you don't print it's doubtful that you know your a$$ from a warm biscuit about the care and feeding of printers.
  13. Stranded on an island and can only have five fonts......... must choose

    Ghastly choices. Are you guys running sign shops or publishing a high school newspaper? As for me. I do signs not church fliers and would choose: LHF Stevens Percepta Either A&S Cardiak or LHF Sophia Script Compacta or perhaps Impact Some romanesque serif number Some Tinkerbell specimen face...
  14. Air bubbles 6 months later...

    For all of those with out or off gassing on their minds: Vinyl is gas-permeable. A far more plausible explanation is that the vinyl didn't adhere properly in the suspect locations.
  15. How do you organize or pick your font?

    Words to live by. How many minute variations of serif and sans serif type faces do you need? Most of the faces that most people have are butt ugly to begin with. You only need a few. Some nice specimen faces and a couple or three serif and sans serif faces.
  16. [Solved] - Graphtec FC8600 problem

    The distance, once set, should never change. Just like blade offset, it never changes. The physical distance between sensor and blade should remain constant. Especially since both the sensor and the blade are part of the tool carriage and their physical locations relative to each other do not...
  17. [Solved] - Graphtec FC8600 problem

    Check the mark sensor to blade distance calibration. There's a whole ritual described in the manual. If this is not set properly all of the cuts will be off.
  18. A Comprehensive Beginner’s guide to Pricing Signage

    And others manage to manufacture negativity where none exists. Much like racism except that category has professional practitioners creating that condition for any situation which disturbs their delicate sensibilities and apparently making a living at it. You might have someone explain to you...
  19. A Comprehensive Beginner’s guide to Pricing Signage

    What it means is that you put forth an excruciatingly detailed description of things that anyone with a couple of functioning brain cells already knows. Rather like an exposition about how to determine which way is up. If you manage re-write it leave out all of the pronouns. At least that way...
  20. A Comprehensive Beginner’s guide to Pricing Signage

    Thank you for your exposition. Perhaps next you'll tackle an in-depth report on how to pour pi$$ out of a boot.
