I have customers who ask for this magical product ALL THE TIME. They clearly don't understand basic physics. If they want to be able to see out in both the day and night, and not have anyone see in, they need to black out the glass completely and install a video monitoring system. Or they could...

But in a pinch, and for the right price, I'd bet you'd do it again :) Also, these are only 1/4".

The letters are being installed 30 feet up, so its not like anyone is going to be closely inspecting them for tiny pit marks in 5 years. This is part of a HUGE job that should have been finished over 2 months ago. The owner keeps adding stuff to for the GC to do, and the GC wants to be done...

we've ordered plain brushed aluminum letters from Gemini, and they come with a clearcoat (not painted/anodized). But I'm not ordering them from Gemini since their turn around is over 3 weeks right now, and instead I'm ordering them from Harbor, who can CNC pretty much anything. I am inquiring...

without clearing, correct?

you're the best! thanks.

"5052 H32 Alloy Mill Finish Alum" is what my supplier has.

I have a rush job on some aluminum letters. Typically we'd order from Gemini, but their turn around time has much to be desired. Anyway, I can get flat-cut letters from 1/4" "alloy mill finish aluminum" in a few days. My question is should we clear coat the letters for outdoor use? If so, what...

We do a ton of taxi cabs, and probably 75% get cut vinyl on their minivan windows. The only problems we've ever had were due to excessive / harsh automatic car washes. The edges of the lettering can get chewed up, but its a very rare occurrence.

I always order grommets from the same place I order almost everything else. One day, I decide to try out a new vendor who has been soliciting us FOREVER. Their grommets cost significantly less than the ones I had been ordering, and I needed more, so I place the order (along with a few other...

I called the state when we were shopping for Workers Comp, and there is no good category for what we do. I feel like its a huge problem in NJ for our industry, because we are paying something like 5.75% for our employee to literally run a roll to roll printer and squeegee some vinyl on a board...

That stinks. I hope you get the right stuff this time, and double check the inside label. We most often purchase 24"x10Yd rolls of the 900 series, and it always has the label. Does your supplier cut it down themselves, perhaps that is why the sent you the wrong product.

No, but do you have an older roll? I think they put the manufacture date on the label inside. You can compare the dates, and perhaps call around to find one that matches the older roll.

We've had a few TERRIBLE psychic clients, and a few really awesome psychic clients. I usually don't call them right away when their sign is complete, because duh, shouldn't they already know?

They actually did say in a previous email that the price was going to increase... But it was hidden within their new product announcement. I think it would have been a lot more professional to send out a notice that ONLY talked about our price increase.

I'm pretty sure that is who sent me expired ink... I normally get ink from somewhere else, but they were out of the color we needed. I think we were going to need two other colors soon, so I ordered all three at the same time. The one I really needed was fresh, but a week or two later when we...

I'm feeling the same way. I'm going to start looking at other solutions. Its a good product, but I don't know if it justifies the ongoing high cost. Plus, there is no guarantees that the price isn't going to increase again in the near future, or the product is going to be discontinued.

We are in the same boat, and use the same Avery 1005 and Arlon 4500GT... but we like using Avery MPI 2923 for short term / indoor signage. We've found the ease of installing with air-release outweighs the slightly added cost. We also really like using Arlon 3420 laminate.

They actually called us back a little while ago and told me we should be able to find a replacement bumper at any hardware store. I'm happy we were able to fix it ourselves, and hopefully if someone else has a similar problem they will be able to fix it faster than we did... It took at least 2...

We called and left a message. If memory serves me, I don't think they've been particularly helpful with issues in the past. I'm pretty sure they told me I'd have to replace the entire carriage at one point, when the problem was solved with literally two drops of oil.
