  1. Deciding on a flatbed Laminator

    I will admit we are not premasking like the video. I will have to try that out. Learn something new every day. And on a side note. We got virtually no training on the table. We were the first one Glantz sold and installed in our area.
  2. Deciding on a flatbed Laminator

    We have a Roll-X and it is great for mounting. I also use it for laminating our Gerber Edge prints. I hate to transfer tape with it. It will wrinkle the tape. I am fabricating a tape roll holder for the end of the table. I will say the table is the best employee Ive ever had.

    how big are the letters??? Foam double sided tape and adhesive unless they are big...
  4. Need Help HELP: Roland sold me a defective printer and I lost $750,000

    I have done the same thing. I provide the print file too. I walked around the last show with my file, timing the print speed on the printers we were interested in. When shit didnt line up, the sales guys blamed my image , profiles, etc. Anything but their printer. I was disappointed in most that...
  5. Need Help HELP: Roland sold me a defective printer and I lost $750,000

    Not trying to Hijack this thread. I already service everything we own. You don't know me or my skill / knowledge in the industry. If its a lemon you would never see a "will someone help me post" from me. I'll figure it out or shitcan the printer. I'm just not impressed by whats available from...
  6. Question about LED wire

    Why not use direct burial jacketed? Its UL and outdoor rated. That's what I keep on the truck. Its way less expensive. To be honest I never really paid that close attention to it.
  7. Need Help HELP: Roland sold me a defective printer and I lost $750,000

    I bought one when they first hit the market. After a year of dealing with them shipping me new and rebuilt units because of printhead failures (I went through 8 units in a year). I finally got a refund with the help of American Express and I let them know I would fly out and camp in their office...

  11. Question Never did this before..................

    I think they wand the visibility more than the look. Why would you print black dots on regular film just for the look? :confused::confused::confused:

  13. New Guy Sign Install Resources

    Around here people just wing it. Our city doesn't GaF. :confused: Just Kidding. Like others said, go work with someone that knows what they are doing. Don't rely on guessing with structures. Pay an engineer and go off their figures.
  14. Installing signs without a permit

    Yea that wont fly here. Engineer drawings, site plan, photographic renderings, electrical spec sheet, etc. Thinking about it, I dont charge enough. We charge minimum 300 for permitting.
  15. Card my yard

    What seems reasonable is letting someone else deal with the BS and I'll stick to making more profitable signs and wraps.
  16. Installing signs without a permit

    Around here if you are doing maintenance it's fine without permit. Sign faces can be changed as long as the business name is the same and bulb changes are ok. That is by the written sign codes. I have had heated exchanges with code on a few jobs for not pulling permits for repairing a face or...
  17. Installing signs without a permit

    I've still got my city contractors forms and check sitting on my desk. I was suppose to renew Jan. 10th. I'm not renewing till I have to.
  18. Installing signs without a permit

    We have the same situation here. I asked code enforcement about it when I turned in 12 non permitted signs (7 or 8 electrical / no electrician. powering off wallpack lights with extension cord). Code investigated the signs. NOT 1 CAME DOWN or was rewired and no fines issued. I called back 2...
