  1. Fire Truck Font

    I thought I had this one on file, but apparently a competitor had originally done this truck. They used a font similar to what we have on file for art. But, you know firemen, they're gonna want it EXACT. It looks like a REALLY bold Caslon, but I'm not sure.
  2. anyone changed their own surecolor s30600/5/7 head themself?

    Gonna need the service program to flush/refill the lines. The non-solvent heads diaphragms/internals aren't up to snuff for solvent flowing through them IIRC. That's all I can help ya with, I'd just call in the pros for a head replacement. Just did it last week actually. Remember, the head test...
  3. Suggestions for a Laminator

    That is a thermal laminator, NOT what you want for a sign company. Who do you buy your supplies from? They should have some brands they recommend and possibly some demo machines you can come see or try out.
  4. Cool Signs in Montgomery, TX, doesn't pay their bills

    How did they find you to contact you? We don't do enough signs here to be part of a network, but on fleet graphics installations we outsource through PDAA and so contract installations through it also. I assume you were found through some similar industry list/group. You might want to reach out...
  5. Avery Vinyl with 3M Overlam...no-no or?

    My point was that I wouldn't worry about it if it was just the regular cast laminates, so I would have no worries at all about the envision series.
  6. Problems with Gerber foils

    We still use our Gerbers everyday and I haven't seen anything like this recently. Possibly you changed a default/preference accidentally in your output manager?
  7. Suggestions for a Laminator

    I have used a lot of different laminators and I have to say that you can't go wrong with a GFP laminator. We have the GFP 563th with heat assist and run it all day long w/o issues, I think it can laminate around 61.5" wide max, but we've only had to do that once and we have three 63" printers here.
  8. SP540v Will not print red and yellow. Cant get the ink to flow to dampers

    Disconnect the "Y" connecting the magenta and yellow cap tubes. Pull directly through the magenta tube only. Dumb question, but does your magenta ink cartridge have ink?
  9. SP540v Will not print red and yellow. Cant get the ink to flow to dampers

    yes, you should have pressure pulling back. if not, there is an air leak.
  10. Avery Vinyl with 3M Overlam...no-no or?

    You should be fine with using a 3M cast laminate on top of the Avery cast wrap vinyl. I would not expect any problems. However, you will not receive any warranty on the vinyls from either manufacturer, I have no idea if this matters to you / your shop. You will also not qualify for 3M's MCS...
  11. SP540v Will not print red and yellow. Cant get the ink to flow to dampers

    Pull from below the caps with the heads parked, gently.
  12. install price for semi

    Between $650 and $1000 depending on the customer/project/qty. Should take around a day for two guys the first time, after a few they should be down to around 5 hours, especially with no front. Remember you will need scaffolding for this.
  13. Painting aluminum blanks?

    yellow vinyl
  14. Large Format 3D Printers

    The market is not there yet in the sign industry and almost all 3D printers are still slow. We are working with Oakridge Laboratories on developing a few new 3D printers that are both high speed and high quality. One of these is a printer that prints 7'x2'x2' and is still nowhere near...
  15. Gerber 2 Power Supply

    I do not think an Edge 2 will work in the original model Edge, but it should work in an Edge 1. I have an Edge 1 for parts if you want to make an offer (missing pixels), I am near CVG airport.
  16. Hi Everyone! Thanks for this site, I'm loving all the info on here!

    Welcome, are you the Yellotools distributor for USA?
  17. overlaying colors

    I have never been able to successfully print over Silver Medal foil before, thought we could once and ruined 30 yards... I believe you need to get some VinylEFX Smooth Silver vinyl and print the magenta onto that.
  18. No Printing, No Target, Just Cutting?

    Move the vinyl as far "right" as possible and move the head as far "down" as possible.
  19. Ultra large wood textures needed

    Back to the original question; I get a lot of nice high-res textures/artwork off of this site: http://www.textures.com/
  20. Head Cleaning causes nozzles plugged - Head 1 drips.

    Sounds like a problem with the capping station seal or a weak pump. Could also be leaking dampers, but I don't think so.
