  1. Large Banner on Chainlink Fence

    I do not think it is advisable fixing a 8ft x 60ft banner to a chain link fence as it is way to big and it will cause loads of damage either to the chain link or even ripping the posts up. I have our advertising 20'x5' banner on a fence into our industrial estate. After 3 years it has had 3...
  2. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    As of today I have changed my company policy. If someone comes in my shop and "wants a cheaper option". They will be told "The cheaper option is not an option if the job is to be done correctly" They will be handed a rather large disclaimer revoking us of any responsibility due to them insisting...
  3. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    Hey some good replies here. Firstly I always wanted to use the more expensive materials and yes he had spoke to other sign companies and this is were he got the idea for the foamex. At one point he wanted to flex a banner across the whole thing but was warned away from that. The panels do have...
  4. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    I can't force customers into spending more money I can only advise. Yes I should of walked away from this job. But this guy was insistant and he knew the problems and issues cutting corners would raise. Sadly all they see is how much cheaper it is! Luckily being foamex it caused no damage and it...
  5. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    LOL that is exactly what I told him at the time of placing the order. Previous to this it had 2 pieces of 1/4" plywood as a fascia!!!! It is just a shame he thinks this is my problem. SC
  6. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    Since about the may of last year this customer had contacted us to refurbish the sign on their shop. At last in early December he gave us the go ahead. The sign was a 36' x 4' light box with acrylic panels, but the 2 middle panels had been removed by the previous owner leaving 16' blank. I...

    Tel You do realise the printer should NEVER be turned off (On?Off Button on front panel)? When closing down at night it should be put to sleep not turned off. Do not worry I only found this out last year. If you knock it off with the cards in it will require restting when you switch back on...
  8. Do it yourself chrome wrap material

    It has actually less creases than some I have seen with proper chrome wrap !!!! SC
  9. gray looks pinkish

    Grays are a real pain in the A$$. Even with colour management! The problem is you can adjust your colour management and upset other colours. Adjusting certain RGB values of the grey colour even by one or two can make a whole lot of difference. If everything else is OK don't start messing with...
  10. I can say I am glad this wasnt my car.

    They were lucky it just didn't rip when they were yanking it off. They were a lucky pair of b*****ds. I didn't think it was possible to get a bubble in vinyl that big! I am on with wrapping my motorbike tank in carbon wrap material and to be honest it will not go on in no less than 3-4 pieces. I...
  11. Ready for a printer

    Lots of good replies here. Go the way of 2 machines 1 print 1 cut. This can almost double your output. Yes the printer needs to run as much as possible and when it is not running it still uses ink for its cleaning function. I'm running a Mutoh Valuejet 1604 and Mutoh SC1400D plotter. I would...
  12. Newbie but not new lol

    Welcome from the wettest place in the world (Cumbria UK) You will wonder how you managed without these guys and gals. SC
  13. print quality issue

    First check you have no blocked jets. Then it is time to PF adjust. I'm not at work at the moment if you have a search on this board the answer is. SC
  14. My new desktop background :)

    Loving that....LOL But normally the logo fills 99% of the sign area and the client wants a comprehensive list of items they sell and contact details that will be legible from 1/2 a mile.!!!!!!!! Also could the sign be 1/2 the size with a bigger logo :) SC
  15. Paint cure time?

    If it is 2 pack paint and has been through an oven it should be OK. If it is an oil based paint about 2-3 months, and even then it will be soft in places. But if you are concerned still, and if this sounds strange! Smell the paintwork. If it still smells of paint/solvents it is still not...
  16. Error code E065Err PF Motor ?

    I will pm shortly. SC
  17. Pigment vinyl

    Please do not use this machine to print these graphics. I have just binned all our material for our pigment ink machine. This type of ink and material is only really for use inside, no matter what anyone tells you. We had so many failures on signs and graphics we had to switch to an solvent...
  18. Build your own arcade system

    Yes the XBOX is running multiple emulators and these are the original arcade games. The likes of space invaders, galaxians and thousands more originals can be run through CoinOps. I have CoinOps 4 on mine and i don't think I have played 5% of the games! The latest coinops 5 has over 22,000...
  19. Build your own arcade system

    Yes I like this a lot but what machine will be running all the games? Can I suggest an original XBOX that has been chipped and has Coinops 5 installed. This will give you every conceivable retro arcade game you could ever think of! Do a little research the original XBOX is the ultimate over...
