  1. How is this sign put together?

    If this is like the ones we've dealt with in the past. Those white side panels are just screwed on for esthetics to hide everything. And there are plastic clips holding the face in place. The actual frame itself is all welded together. It's not plain banner, usually it's Cooley-Brite or a...
  2. Material Help in Canada

    Mostly Grimco and ND here. ND has a location in Vancouver so I would check that out. Grimco has a location in BC close by as well. ND I find is a bit more expensive for most things but they seem to have a better selection.
  3. PDF and Illustrator

    You're looking at page 2 in acrobat, did you open page 2? Might want to check the layers. Go to file>place, place the document then click on it and hit embed on the top menu bar. I don't think this is something that can actually happen lol, but I may be wrong.
  4. Laminate Help Needed

    You don't have a laminator? When I have to laminate small pieces, I just start a couple inches by hand and run it through the laminator. Much less waste.
  5. 2 sided paper printing, roland or latex. tips or tricks?

    We print double sided banners all the time on our latex. Can't imagine paper being much different as long as it's printable on both sides.
  6. Need custom printed drink Koozie supplier

    We use BIC for these types of things.
  7. Artist wants to cut...

    We cut waves in it with a jigsaw, cuts just fine but anything too complex becomes a mess. Dremel is a real pain compared to jigsaw.
  8. Need Help Siser Colorprint HP Latex GRAINY half way through print...help needed

    This is a common issue with the Colorprint Easy on latex. It worked fine for ages and all of a sudden we had this happening too. Our supplier says they talked to Siser and they said it's not meant for latex but can work (sometimes). We've stopped using it since.
  9. High School Mascots

    We do lots of work for local schools and the school board itself, so never had any issues. But whenever there's any doubt, always double check.
  10. Sheets and smaller rolls on HP latex

    I've used sheets a few times, loose and attached to a roll of something else. Attaching it first makes it a smoother process as it's not that different from a normal roll.
  11. Where to get specialty business cards?

    We do most digital printing in house. When we do need to send it out, we use 4Over mostly. We used to use Sina a LOT, but their quality and customer support issues, especially on large orders, lost our business.

  14. Glass Adhere Contour Cutting

    I had the same problem on our 140. Not sure what the fix is since I didn't have time to mess with it for the job so I ended up using a different material. Have you tried slowing it down drastically? I find on thinner materials or ones subject to slipping, when it feeds the material back and...
  15. Need Help Rear Window Perf w/ Spoiler

    I've had a couple vans and SUVs like this. Put knifeless tape up there first. Sealing it isn't very hard, you'll just be a little cramped. I find it helps to have as little excess material as possible up there. I either kinda fold it back and away from the spoiler as I move closer to it or cut...
  16. Tell me something.....

    Grimco in Canada just changed to a new website with basically nothing on it. So everyone has to phone in their orders, you're on hold for 20-60 minutes. On top of that I just waited over a month for a 10 yard roll of vinyl.
  17. 14oz banner crinkling on print?

    Yup, Ultraflex banners are a nightmare on the HP. I had to clean a roll every time we printed it with alcohol to get that to go away. We stopped using them. We had to print it at about 170 @ 12 pass with interpass delay just to get it to print alright.
  18. Wrap Hood W/ Clear for Protection

    Same, I would just spray it with something like 3M Paint Defender.
  19. Wrap Hood W/ Clear for Protection

    3M IJ180mC-114 is a clear wrap vinyl with Comply. I think if you just do laminate it would have to be wet application.
  20. Need Help Printable Vinyl for Outdoor Bicycle Repair Kiosk

    Standard vinyl combos work just fine in Ontario, we use IJ35 and haven't had any issues.
