  1. Do you 'tag' your signs?

    We've had a few business owners come in and order a new sign from us because they saw our name on a few around town that they liked. the decals we put on are small enough to be pretty much invisible unless you walk right up to the sign. If you commission a painter to paint your portrait, are...
  2. Do you 'tag' your signs?

    We put a small decal with our contact information on most of the higher end business signs we make, it's pretty common around here, they are removable if the customer doesn't like it. never had a complaint.
  3. What vinyl do you use in retractable banner stands?

    skunky weed was my first thought...

  5. overlay for Harley Fat Boy fairing.

    Easiest way i can think of would be to use something like wrapcut or knifeless tape and cut it to shape on the bike
  6. Oracal clear 3651

    I have yet to find any printed material that looks as good lit up as translucent cut vinyl does. all of our attempts look great during the day, but the colours look washed out at night. The solution to this is apparently to print on clear vinyl in reverse, apply that to the backside of the...
  7. Why does Corel open eps and ai files like this?

    I can't say i've ever had that problem before. I've found that when it comes to importing adobe files, the only issue i've found is text showing up oddly, never an issue with vector graphics. Corel either imports them or doesn't
  8. What vinyl do you use in retractable banner stands?

    Lately all the rolls have stunk like skunk, there have been a few threads on here about it.
  9. dry erase nightmare!!!

    I think I know the exact laminate you are talking about, it's like working with tissue paper, if you look at it the wrong way it tears, very frustrating! Like someone else said, we use oraguard 210 gloss for dry erase applications, never had an issue. if the customer leaves the marker on for a...
  10. 3M 1080 for total cover-up

    As long as the client was made aware of what you were doing, I don't see a problem.
  11. any herd of bullet proof vinyl?

    I'm assuming you are talking about laminated bullet-proof glass? That is made up of layering glass with a special film during the production stage of making the glass, it's not something that you can add on after the fact. There is security film that can be applied after the fact, I believe...
  12. Blade for PVC?

    Colin: for the nicest edge possible, I would use a hand held router. there are 2 ways of doing this, depending on whither you are able to drill a hole in the centre of the circle or not. option 1) make a circle cutting jig for your router...
  13. Wearing Out Welcome???

    :goodpost: This is all you can do really, let your feelings on the matter be known, and share some of your life experiences with her. At the end of the day, she is an adult and is free to make her own decisions, good or bad.
  14. Denver Area Shooting!

    Anyone who claims that Canada has more violence than America is out to lunch, the murder rate is almost three times higher per capita in America. Considering we have a similar foundings, ethnic makeup, media, etc, there has to be something that drives the American love of violence
  15. Denver Area Shooting!

    Crazy times we are living in, earlier in the week we had 2 people killed and 22 injured at a BBQ in Toronto, the next day another shooting killing 1 in Toronto again, now this!
  16. Wrapping the inside of a vehicle?

    sounds like a major PITA, have you considered having a mural artist paint it instead of wrapping it?
  17. 8 1/2" x 11" Sign Holders

    looks pretty simple, any plastics fabricator could easily make them for you, or get a heat bender and make them yourself in about 5 minutes.
  18. What would cause this

    Like I said earlier, it turns out it wasn't KPMF film. However, acrylic won't last 1 year in Canada, a few days of -35 degree temperatures and it will shatter. I can see this not being an issue in the UK, where the temperature is pretty moderate all year round. If a product can't stand up...
  19. What would cause this

    Yes that's the one. I think they knew what they were selling, but decided that I didn't need to know, from what I can gather, Ritrama doesn't have the greatest reputation in the industry.
  20. What would cause this

    It appears I need to post a retraction, apparently the vinyl I received was not made by KPMF, but by some company I've never heard of "writma" or "ritma" or something. Aparently the supplier I bought this from uses multiple suppliers for their vinyl, but only the KPMF is branded as such...
