  1. good glossy photo paper?

    For gloss we use Sihl papers, for satin I love postermax.
  2. Trying to ID this vinyl that is textured..I'm thinking it is floor material..

    Post up close ups if possible, otherwise it would be impossible to ID. Most vinyls are smooth, and it is the laminate that is "non-skid" if is going on the floor. MacTac makes some that I like to use.
  3. Eps file printing high...not sure why

    It's not high, it's centered; you just have something below your artboard that you cannot see that is moving your piece "up". It could be anything from the software not recognizing the clipping path correctly to a stray point you never even knew you clicked. Do a "select all" and see if...
  4. Anyone want to trade likes on FACEBOOK?

    Here is ours, http://www.facebook.com/digigraphics I'll like yall in a few minutes!
  5. Mirror chrome - pricing & type for vehicle application

    Whenever we use any specialty materials here (like chrome, engine turn, etc) we print and cut the vinyl, and weed it (but leave the registration marks on!), THEN laminate it and cut the laminate 1/4" larger all the way around the image. This allows the materials to have a much longer outdoor...
  6. Where to get...Raised letter alum license plates?

    If aluminum is too costly, possibly a vacuum forming company could do hard plastic plates? It seems like they'd be very similar to a vacuum formed plastic sign face, just smaller.
  7. Nissan NV material recommendation

    I did not install it personally, my installer did, and I have no idea exactly how his process went; I just watched for a bit... I know he did not use that much of the primer94, just a few swipes. I just know that being an installer part of the time myself with no "official" training, I was quite...
  8. Thinking of trading

    We have a 24" Gerber plotter we don't ever use here if you're interested, we run our Envision375 all day long, but it works perfect with our EdgeFX machine. They're so expensive because they last forever and always cut perfectly with sprocket feed. Our Graphtec FC8000 is way worse quality-wise.
  9. Would love to buy a used laminator 49" +

    We purchased a new 54" GFP within that price range recently. Call your suppliers and see what they have to offer you. Advantage Sign Supply has a decent selection of models.
  10. File Server

    We have a new NAS box here, previously we were on a windows server, but kept filling it up and slowing down the server. Our computer company recommended switching to the NAS instead of upgrading. It has sped things up for the others who access the server for other tasks. Our server...
  11. Nissan NV material recommendation

    We did two with regular 180c and they have had no problems. I'm not sure how experienced your installer is, but these do take an installer who is experienced with applying wraps into the deep grooves correctly.
  12. Pro Outline Vs. Mr. Clipart

    X2 on this response. PVO all the way. After using it so many times I hardly ever use the book, but it is handy sometimes.
  13. full bleed image panels

    Do an edge hinge and run them through your laminator. No bubbles or marks. Wait... you're latex-printing on reflective, and not laminating... for outdoor traffic signage? And basic masking tape or felt squeegees are damaging the prints??? How long are the customers expecting these "outdoor...
  14. Installer needed in Boston.

    If it is an downtown, you're going to have to call the local planning & zoning committee to see what type of district it is in, then they can instruct you on where to find the information online or tell you over the phone what is allowed at the exact address of the installation. Once you...
  15. Knifeless tape and reflective

    I used it successfully without any problems on one ambulance recently. It cut the same as it did on the partial wraps I used it on. I've only been able to use it twice so far; but it's awesome! I have the green kind from Grimco if that matters.
  16. Merry Christmas - That's a Wrap!

    Those would make some nice Christmas cards! Nice painting!
  17. Hello from Cincy

    Welcome from Florence, yall. I'm from Middletown, OH but my sign company moved down here to Florence so I did too!
  18. Medical Supply Logo Help

    While it is a great idea to incorporate the arrhythmia into the logo, many people who see the patterns as their job are very particular about the arrhythmia style. (they wouldn't want to see THAT on their EKG) :)
  19. Favorite tools on installs

    Call your supply company and have them send you one or two of each. The different brands/colors/types I have found all have advantages in different materials/installations/substrates. Felt edge squeegees are great, but you can make your own with self-adhesive felt from a craft store & cheap...
  20. Printed stickers [with bleed] edges curve-up/unpeel

    Too much ink saturation will cause the vinyl to curl or deform as it is staying wet too long. Possibly try adjusting your ink limits or profile used on the job.
