  1. Grimco buys Advantage Sign & Graphic Solutions/Advantage Sign Supply

    Yep, they just killed my local Advantage office. 6 people now out of work.
  2. Need Help 5 year outdoor digital inks available ?

    Mutoh 1204 with their Eco-Solvent inks. Laminated with 3M 8519. The heat shouldn't make that much difference - sun exposure sure will, though.
  3. Need Help 5 year outdoor digital inks available ?

    I dunno... my laminated eco-solvent prints have been on the streets for at least 5 years now and still looking decent...

    Can't use PVC? Oh, and there is black foamcore available (as an example 3/16" Black Buffered Foam Core Boards :48 X 96
  5. Suggestions Laser Cutting Foam

    Why do you need a white face if you're doing a full bleed print? Order black foamcore and be done with it.
  6. SUMMA S2 T75 PROBLEM, notches in circle letters, SEE PIC!

    Apparently depps is blasting this unit on other threads. If you're that unhappy with the plotter, I'll gladly trade you my T750 for yours...
  7. SUMMA S2 T75 PROBLEM, notches in circle letters, SEE PIC!

    I'm going to second the knife calibration. I've got a T750 that's over 15 years old and I just replaced the head last year as it was starting to do what you are looking at. It's remotely possible that the head wasn't set correctly at the factory or it got moved/damaged in shipment. Call Summa -...
  8. Material Issue?

    I'd ask for a daylight photo or two. I can't see the 680 failing like that, and I've never had a paint "bleed" through that would affect the vinyl in such a fashion. It's remotely possible they cleaned the truck with something that affected only the back doors, but that's reaching.
  9. Opinion on hanging 3/4" 4x8 pvc panels

    The walls will just be painted. With what, I don't know. It's a firing range, so I'm going to guess something simple and with a gloss. I don't plan on taping anything to the pvc.. as mentioned, it won't hold. Hence my thoughts on screwing a full length cleat to the back. Now I'm thinking to...
  10. Opinion on hanging 3/4" 4x8 pvc panels

    Not feeling the gator. I know where you're going with it Bill, but I'm looking for a profiled edge.
  11. Opinion on hanging 3/4" 4x8 pvc panels

    Ok, here's the deal. Customer wants 6 large (4' x 8') panels mounted on an interior wall just above shoulder height. They want something "dimensional", the panels will have a full coverage digital print. The wall is solid high compression concrete... think bomb shelter stuff. Initially they...
  12. Scaled line drawing Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor

    PM me... got quite a few from old police jobs.
  13. Filling acrylic - polyurethane?

    I'd just glue the inlay with the clear acrylic glue. Why do you want to encapsulate everything? I'm half thinking depending on where it's going to be there might be some issue with expansion that might pop the resin.
  14. Suggestions i changed the head on my valuejet 1614 and now it wont print dont know where to go from here?

    Yes, you have to draw the ink through the lines somehow to fill the dampers. Most people use a syringe on the line right at the damper until the ink gets there, then drawing from the drain line, creating that suction on the maintenance station.
  15. Printing on Reflective

    I'm using the 3M as well. Tried some other, less expensive brands but unfortunately the 3M seems to work 'best'. Yes to anything printed you want to last - you need to laminate. Street signs are regulated unless they are in a private community. You need to follow strict MUTCD guidelines... most...
  16. Need Help wild background fill with onyx rip

    That was going to be my suggestion as well. Try it as a .jpg and see if it still fills. What program are you designing in?
  17. Need some help, Fire Dept Font

    Yep, that's a Leo's Gold font. I've had some success hand building an alphabet from those.. pain in the butt though.
  18. PMS color matching to reflective

    I was leaning towards the 3425 but my books are so old I couldn't trust if that was a close color. I'll have to test print up some pieces and see what works. But that's a good start - thanks!
  19. PMS color matching to reflective

    Hi all, I have an older Pantone book here and I'm usually pretty good about spotting colors to match our vinyls. I have a small project in for a good customer that requires me to match or get as close to a reflective green as possible. All the reflective greens are pretty close across the board...
