  1. Question Epson 60600 leaves an emboss effect on double sided banners.

    We abandoned making double sided banners with our Epson because we couldn't find a satisfactory substrate. We were using double sided blockout material, which didn't show the effect you are talking about, but getting the second side to feed through the machine without buckling or wrinkling and...
  2. Suggestions Hemming vinyl scrim banners - most cost effective way to start out

    Our customers don't care about sewing. They just want a banner and they don't want the grommets to tear out like they do when you don't hem the banner at all. And, we're finding, they don't like the stick-on corners our competitors use instead of hemming and grommets.
  3. Need Help Is coro-platics sign profitable?

    Signs365 is $40/sheet for a s.f. 4'x8' sheet, no matter how it's cut up. What gets me is the $10 next day shipping. When we ship a lighter package of roughly the same size as a box of 18x24's from Signs365, by ground, we're getting charged anywhere from $10-$19 depending on destination address...
  4. Please convert all fonts when creating your pdf's

    Because we are being sent logos that we have to integrate into a design, like a sign, brochure, or car wrap. Not all of us a print bureaus which receive ready to print files and just produce a printed item for the customer. We also have to take parts of a logo to use, or change phone numbers...
  5. Suggestions Hemming vinyl scrim banners - most cost effective way to start out

    1" banner tape and a rubber brayer. Sewing is not necessary unless you're doing webbing and d-rings, really. Now, for outdoor pole mounted banners, sewing is superior. But we have never seen a taped hem fail before the whole banner was faded or shot anyway.
  6. Need Help Is coro-platics sign profitable?

    The brand name is Coroplast. The generic term for the product is corrugated plastic.
  7. Cool Flag Production Video

    First, perhaps because I am Asian myself, I didn't even notice the race of the person adding the ink when I first watched the video. It was only after his race and dress were pointed out to me that I saw it. I then looked up the company on the internet and found that they were Dutch owned. Since...
  8. how to charge? by hour or by m²

    we use square foot pricing, not square meter.
  9. Cut vinyl match to CMYK

    Yes, it has to be matte finish
  10. Font Help A little Font help needed.

    Looks to me like the Q is a different font from the rest of the letters. Titanium Motors would probably work for the Q, and most any bold condensed Helvetica or even Impact would work for the rest.
  11. how to charge? by hour or by m²

    At $5/sq ft that would be $1300. I'll take square feet for $1300, Alex.
  12. Temporary Wall Wrap

    Adhesive vinyl will fall off. Unless you prime, sand, paint at least two coats of gloss finish enamel, it will fall off when the wood gets wet a few times.
  13. how to charge? by hour or by m²

    Never have figured out why people want to color change wrap a boat instead of painting it. Paint is so much more durable and is also spot repairable. It looks like you traveled to the boat, so the 5 hours becomes 7 when you include travel time and load-up/unload time. For us, that would mean...
  14. Cool Flag Production Video

    It's a Dutch company with an installation in Thailand (and lots elsewhere). Probably one of the Dutch who are sent there to run the show and keep things in line.
  15. Cut vinyl match to CMYK

    I looked at your CMYK mix in Corel Draw and looked at a vinyl color chart to see which was closest. But just from experience I was guessing that was going to be the closest. However, I doubt that it will be a specific perfect match to 18% neutral gray if you have to meet those specs. Usually...

  18. Wood signage

    Yeah, I didn't have a picture of that sign during construction. But you can see the rows of screws into the stringers.
  19. Wood signage

    We use 3mm ACM for a lot of commercial signs. It just depends on how you install it. If you expect the sign to be structural, then you need 1/2" MDO. But we always expect the structure to stand without the face, and the face is just decoration attached to the structure so 3mm ACM is perfect for...
