  4. tiff files come in as nothing or shut software down

    I posted this here as I am not sure if it is software related or just bad files. I can view the file if I double click on it from the desktop, but if I try and import it into Signlab, the program shuts down immediately. I have seen this before. i tried opening it in Flexi and I get an error...

  7. any Canadian Companies know what is needed to ship signage down to the US of A?

    OK so yes I am taking it to a sister plant...but it is not their responsibility to fill out forms and document the shipment. So far I have found out I need to have a packing slip and a detailed invoice included in the shipment. That sounds to easy, but I will continue to investigate. I...
  8. any Canadian Companies know what is needed to ship signage down to the US of A?

    I have 14 48" x 76" alumapanel boards with digital print and Paper holders attached. Before i took the job on I told the American customer that I could not ship these as the cost using UPS or Purolator would be enormous and they would be damaged in shipping. They said they have a sister company...
  9. Question about die sub printing on a mesh for outdoor feather banners

    These guys are a large company that do lots of display printing so I have to think this is the best black they can achieve. I know if it were me I would definately let customers know what they can expect before getting into this sort of situation.
  10. Question about die sub printing on a mesh for outdoor feather banners

    I had a customer who wanted a feather outdoor banner and I had it done by a local supplier. We were printing a solid black with minimal white knowckouts. The banner and hardware arrived and I opened it up to check it out and I can only describe the colour black as a form of light navy blue...

  16. Stretching vinyl while applying to corrugated plastic.

    you could try premasking the first 6" of the print that goes into the laminator to give it some thickness. I really like printing on the proveer house brand (true stock, but really Avery) with the grey adhesive for just that purpose. The stuff is very rigid when peeling back the liner, even on...
  17. Vinyl zapper weirdness...

    I just used my modified wagner wallpaper steamer to take off some lettering that had to be over 15 years old. Works well with the lil chizler and a thick glove so as you dont scald your fingers...but it is not a fast process and usually leaves more glue behind than a heat gun. By modified I...
  18. Vinyl zapper weirdness...

    yes, I have experienced this. usually when I take those ford thick fake chrome identity plates off it can leave a pretty thick adhesive behind, which the wheel does just what you say. it smears it around, but I continue until it is more manageable with the rapid remover to get the rest off...
