  1. Banners can last a long time!!!

    years ago before the advent of digital printing, i used to use the 10 oz banners you could buy with the gromets already in them. They would never last to long, but never were meant to.
  2. help, I'm in need of ideas

    I have the 1.2" stripes cut so I think if I make a masking tape edge to follow and the heat gun i can get it to work although my patience runs thin and i want to go home.....lol :bushmill:
  3. help, I'm in need of ideas

    Working on this 20' boat and I have to put a 4" reflective stripe along the side. When I get towards the front and it starts to curve, I just can't keep that stripe straight on the line I need it to be on. I have cut it at that point and tried using a heat gun but it is a little to severe to...
  4. How do multiple rolls of vinyl come in from your supplier?

    One of my suppliers does that too and they also stuff in all sorts of crumpled up plastic for protection. I think they just to cheap to throw it out. In the past if I ordered lets say 5 yards of 24" whatever and 10 yards of 30" whatever, the guy would roll the 24" around the 30" by taping it...
  5. Cartridge recycling woes - Challenge: Canadian

    I looked into this when they started promoting them but was hesitant to make the switch. My printer is now 5 years old and I wonder if maybe I should try them. Now if I am not happy with them you saying I can switch back to oem without flushing the lines? hmmmmm OK on a sidenote I need...
  6. Our new window signs

    The pic of that kid is familiar. Did you have to purchase that? Just curious as I keep seeing it....
  7. Banners can last a long time!!!

    but as you said it looks cheap. this was only meant to be used for a year. I can only guess they decided to leave it instead of paying to have it removed and it has lasted. If you have ever seen a Dave & Busters, there is no shortage of big expensive signage. To your point. if someone is...
  8. Banners can last a long time!!!

    They have plenty of big signage all over the place. This was just something they wanted to be seen off the highway. There design though...I am just the messenger....
  9. Windows 7...I'm in Love

    I have been running win 7 for about a year and I don't think I have ever had a crash. I do experience some weird things once in a while but that might be Signlab8 and how it interfaces with the OS...nothing to hinder cutting or designing, more in the file retrieval end and sometimes some slow...
  10. Banners can last a long time!!!

    This pic of a banner is at least 10 years old. I did it for a local Dave & Busters and it is on 18oz banner material. I remember using a 5 year calendered vinyl as they said it would be up for a year. I was there today and although the banner is anything but white now I looked at the letters...

  12. Laminate with 3M 180

    The 3M laminate is like no other I have ever experienced. It seems so much softer and goes down with absolutley no silvering. Can cut immediately in a plotter if need be with no wait time. I have not tried oracals laminate though ans maybe I should give it a try. How much less is it?
  13. what can I use to clean the hull of a boat

    I have a 22' boat in the shop for reflective striping and the hull just won't come clean with methyl hydrate or all purpose cleaner. Is there anything that is safe to remove these stains? If not how well does vinyl stick to it?
  14. clear screen protector for I phone

    I have a friend in the screen printing biz who has to quote supplying these to a customer. Anybody out there know what this material actually is? I got one with a phone protector I bought for my phone and I couldn't figure out what it was as it did not have a permanent adhesive and could be...

    I use ferrari Decolite. Best material I have found yet for banner stands. Pricey but lightweight and is available with blockout. Not sure of the heat issue, but I am sure a supplier will send you a sample

  20. What do you give your select customers for the holidays?

    I wait to see what xmas gift items are available at Wallmart or Costco. $10 per customer is good enough. years ago i used to spend a ton of money at the liquor store but, now I just spend a ton of money at the liquor store, but somehow the booze always ends up in my man cave...
