  1. Problems with single sided laminating: what am I missing?

    Maybe its your laminator? We have a very budget friendly US Tech, and I don't think we've ever ruined a print, not even when we didn't know exactly what we were doing. it just works.

    those aren't cameras, they are photocels for the lights.
  3. Rigid Ceiling Mount Needed for Exterior Sign

    thanks, i am hoping for something a little nicer, but you are right, this is an excellent economical sign. i'll give them this option along with hopefully something else.
  4. Rigid Ceiling Mount Needed for Exterior Sign

    not sure yet, it depends on the bracket. I think i want something more substantial than U brackets though. They just redid the facade of the mall, so it needs to be a good combination of nice and cheap. ha.
  5. Rigid Ceiling Mount Needed for Exterior Sign

    I need to make some non-illuminated, ceiling-mounted signs to go under a walkway at a strip mall. They will be approximately 4ftx1ft. I know I can make a standard cabinet box, but I'm hoping to do something more economically. Suggestions please. & Thank you.

    not if you work outside the page boundaries, as i always do.
  7. exporting cdr fail

    Also make sure you only have one page (look at the tab on the bottom of the page). If there is more than one page, copy and paste it into a new file, and then export it.

  9. Manufacturer for this type of Dimensional Letter?

    duh. yeah, this is really easy and you don't need a cnc router like I thought. you can cut the letters with a jig and/or bandsaw and then using a hand-held router, bevel the edges. we bevel the edges on signs all the time!
  10. Manufacturer for this type of Dimensional Letter?

    Are they HDU / PVC? I think this is a very easy router job, but i don't have a router, so what do i know.
  11. Handwritten type font help please

    I would classify that script as "handwritten." Many of the LHF are designed specifically to look like they are handwritten. AND the font/typeface argument is so silly in 2016. We aren't hand-setting our type. We aren't grabbing 14pt Helvetica Bold out of a drawer. We don't say "What the...
  12. How should I hang this sign?

    we have this beast, and it would work for both applications. https://youtu.be/ndWDNJunyNg
  13. whole sale custom flags

    i use xarisma for most of that stuff...
  14. How was this Decal Produced?

    I don't have a thermal printer, but i'd actually guess those were screen printed. I don't screen print either, but I'm pretty sure you can get translucent ink, which would show the flake through.
  15. How was this Decal Produced?

    The first one has doming resin on it. you can get the stuff and do it yourself, its $$$$.
  16. Oracal Questions

    In our experience, ALL metallic vinyls fail within 2 years. We use Avery for the most part, and have experienced the vinyl having burn marks. I think it has to do with how the sparkly flakes react when the sun hits it.
  17. Permit bounced back for lack of "shear or pullout values"

    here too. literally had to get an engineer's drawing for this exact scenario. i forgot who I used, but there is actually a company who specializes in sign drawings, and it wasn't that expensive... however, a dibond sign is pretty cheap in the first place.
  18. Hand Drawn or Commercially available?

    Start with Lobster and then make adjustments.
  19. Basketball court lines and graphics

    yes. if you want to be nice and refer them to a company who stripes gym floors, I can give you a referral. It's done with careful measurements, masking tape, and a specific paint. Logos are done with paintmask stencils. I do gameline drawings & provide stencils for a hardwood flooring...
