  1. Wow Roland Cleaner Went Up In Price!

    Signworks, you use swabs and toilet paper to clean the same "equipment"? Seems messy....... :rolleyes: On another note - in a pinch you can cut open a cleaning cart and have about 200ml of cleaning solution for less than $50.00 wayne k guam usa
  2. Thousands of tiny bubbles in a trailer wrap?

    Maybe this - some type of shipping coating that did not get completely removed. To fix the bubbles that are already there get one of these: They will poke several hundred times per minute - shouldn't take long to clear a few thousand bubbles...... wayne k guam usa

  4. Am I being unreasonable?

    Was there any kind of strange pattern left on the wall from the missing paint? Maybe it wasn't Avery's fault at all http://abc7news.com/archive/8663468/ wayne k guam usa given Avery's track record its hard not to look to them first.
  5. GINORMOUS sign

    To keep it in house Signspring is a merchant member here and sells a banner framing system that looks pretty good. The band-it stuff is sold all over the place. We get ours locally from an electrical contractor supply store. Some of the big box hardware stores might carry it. wayne k...

    Something like this for the building: http://www.tensioningsolutions.com/ We use this stuff for post mounting without drilling or welding: http://www.band-it-idex.com/en/applications/Banding/Bandingindex.html wayne k guam usa
  7. Vinyl Bubbling when installed on polyethylene tank

    You could try using perorated window film - that way any trapped (or generated) gas would have an easy escape route. Just don't lam it or you'll be back to square one. wayne k guam usa
  8. Vehicle lifts for wraps?

    I have, the bulk of our shop is automotive parts and accessories, in addition to the twin post lifts we also have 2 of the freestanding ones. It is a little scary the first time you get two tons up about chest high - worry that if you lean too hard on one of the bumpers it's going to fall...
  9. TV advertising for signs?

    We see FastSigns and Vistaprint plus a few on-line tee-shirt printers out here on basic cable. Not any local companies running ads that I can recall. wayne k guam usa
  10. Best Colour Match

    Laminate, reflective, 1080, 7725, cheap poster paper (kid's school projects). Anything that will fit under the pinch rollers and not cause a head strike is fair game. I think digital media is manufactured under higher contaminate free conditions so you don't end up with a nice big thumb print...
  11. This ever happen.................... ??

    I think you had the answer in your post: "and a complete paint job" "It's a horrible yellow pee-green " Maybe the big boss took one look at the finished paint job and had them burn the truck..... wayne k guam usa
  12. Best Colour Match

    Yeah what Pat said. metallic silver makes a nice base as long as the top color does not have to be color matched. Customer needed a relay baton that wouldn't end up looking like a capped piece of conduit wrapped in a sticker..... Hard to tell from the photo but the metallic shows nice out in...
  13. Will it ever fade? (c)

    For long term signage I upsell to papyrus based coro. Recommended by 11 out of 12 apostles (Judas never a team player). Dead Sea scroll longevity proven. wayne k guam usa
  14. Phillip @ SignAmigo and Alison at signteam.us For the Win

    Looks like it turned out pretty good. Is the "H" logo new? Looks kinda familiar........ wayne k guam usa
  15. Purchase of a new printer

    I think jaylem has this covered. One thing to add is with new equipment when you run into trouble you can look at user error first and equipment failure second. With used gear and being new to the whole wide format scene it will be a toss up as to what is causing the issue. It can get really...
  16. I need a slick method of laminating vinyl to aluminum sheet

    If you don't have a manual laminator and with your mobility issues I'd do the backgrounds wet. Set them up crossways on the end of your table so you only have to reach out to the 2ft height. Or you could knock out an easel - use it to set the blanks up within easy reach. wayne k guam usa
  17. Black Boxes Over everything when I import a pdf into Flexi 10.5

    Do you need to open it in flexi to edit it or just to send it to the RIP. If it is print ready leave the main flexi app closed and drop it directly into the program manager. Saves a lot of headaches with files from outside sources. wayne k guam usa
  18. Sign I just did!

    From their webpage "seed-balls.com" Some kind of eco-guerrilla, Johnny Appleseed type weapon...... wayne k guam usa
  19. Most Used Sign Shop Tools

    If you going to have employees: A large coffee pot and well equipped bathroom seem to be most used (at least around here). wayne k guam usa
  20. Best method?

    How big is the sheet? If it is 4'x8' or so do it wet. Quart sprayer with a squirt or two of dish soap. Don't overdo it on with the soap. Cut the vinyl larger than the blank Get everything clean and lay the material down with the backer sheet up. Mist the back side so it sticks to the blank...
