  1. How do you build a sign frame inside a brick monument?

    The cheapest method would be to screw some lumber to the brick pillars with masonry screws in anchors, run some lumber stringers across the width, then screw an ACM sign to the stringers that essentially fills the space. It'll be ugly from the back unless you make it two sided. You can also...
  2. Wind speeds, post sizes and hole size and depth for a 4'x8' panel ground sign

    If they are willing to go back and change things in the online calculator, maybe you can prevail upon them to change the post type to 4"x4" treated yellow pine and find that it's OK.
  3. Printing white on Epson S80600

    If you can't get it to work in Corel it's because you haven't set up your custom palette with the spot color correctly. We use Corel, and all we had to do was follow the instructions from the RIP manufacturer on how to create and name the custom spot color for each of the Epson's spot inks and...
  4. Printing white on Epson S80600

    I've never tried it with the white, but on our Epson S70670, which has both white and silver, we just set the percentage of silver we want in Corel Draw's object fill, and when we send it to print, it does it just like any other color. Don't see why that wouldn't work with the white too.
  5. Need help, hand written looking with no cross on the A

    Could always just flip a V upside down rather than vector edit the A....
  6. Wind speeds, post sizes and hole size and depth for a 4'x8' panel ground sign

    Yes, depth of hole depends greatly on depth of the frost line. Otherwise when it freezes it will push the sign up out of the ground. It's funny, though, how these builder types have no concept of what is really holding the sign up straight and keeping it there. When I first started in the sign...
  7. Suggestions where can I purchas eco solvent flushing solution or can I make it myself?

    Why are you needing to flush print heads? Generally that's only necessary when changing ink types or to try to rescue dried up heads. Or if you're going to try to put a printer into storage.
  8. Some clients...

    Generally, if I have made a sign or sold business cards to someone in the past, and later they want the "file" to use on other projects, I tell them straight up there is a charge for sending them the file. Often, if it's to go on a website or to make their own letterhead in MS Word, I'll send...
  9. Wind speeds, post sizes and hole size and depth for a 4'x8' panel ground sign

    Just figured out where they got 24x36 for the hole size from and the requirement for 6x6's. It's the minimum size hole you can do on this calculator, which also tells you that a 4x4 is undersized unless your sign is 4x7 or smaller if it's pressure treated fir #2. It does allow it if it's...
  10. Wind speeds, post sizes and hole size and depth for a 4'x8' panel ground sign

    Not sure why you'd need a concrete base that big for a 4x8 only 3 feet off the ground, nor a 6x6 post. I have a feeling they are builders (which is the situation we have here as well) who have no concept of how signs are done. I don't know what your soil is like, but here we have rocky soil with...
  11. Need Help Font ID

    Wide Stance is Eurostile Bold Extended. Given the way the 2 fits into the R, I'd bet the ZR2 isn't a font or has been greatly modified if it is.

    Clarendon Condensed Bold
  13. S40600 ink cart NOT empty

    It's wasteful if you don't do much printing. Even if you didn't print anything at all, you'd have to empty the waste tank just as often. But compared to replacing printheads every month due to drying up, it's not wasteful of money.
  14. Need Help What vinyl to use on auto glass

    Windows, especially when new, are often coated with a silicone-like substance. There are also sprays which car wash and detail places use which have a similar substance in them. They make the window glossy and shiny and eliminate streaks. But you will never get vinyl to stick to them. The stuff...
  15. Need Help Epson S80600 service manual

    Before you go messing about with the mechanics of the printer, you need to determine what is causing your head strikes. Most of the time it's not something wrong with the print head assembly, but with the vinyl and the temperatures and alignment. Open the lid and put something in the sensors so...
  16. X-Rite i1Studio - Any feedback?

    In Onyx you need to be using Production House level or higher to do color profiling. The version that comes with the printer cannot do it.
  17. Suggestions race car templetes

    Some years ago we made one ourselves for a Maverick Pro Stock car. Used a photo of the car to draw the grille ourselves, and added photos of sealed beam headlights we took, as well as photos of the turn signal/parking lights. A lot of work for a one-off, but it looked good. I think buying them...
  18. Need Help Cutting a circle graphic that is laminated

    I have a feeling from looking at that picture that you aren't cutting all the way through the printed white vinyl, so it's tearing as you weed it. Since the laminate is 6 mil, not only do you need to increase the cut pressure, you also have to extend the blade farther than normal from the holder.
