  1. Mounting Digital Media, No Lamination

    We use General Formulations 223 6 mil material and a big squeegee for almost all of our non-laminated / short term prints. Its so easy to work with, its worth the extra few pennies.
  2. Logo Design and Providing Multiple Options

    I had someone love two things we designed. So we put one on the sides of a trailer, and the other on the back. Its not really worth the effort to convince them otherwise... But you could charge them for both, since now you won't be able to use that design concept again.
  3. Sewing the hem edge on vinyl banners?

    go back to the beginning. I think you needed to increase your top tension slightly, and that would have solved the problem. You like how the last image looks because it has a bigger hole due to the thicker needle. The needle you are using may be too small for the thread. I don't hem banners, so...
  4. Sewing the hem edge on vinyl banners?

    I sew for fun. A Lot. Like, if I could not work and just sew all day, I would. I will give you one word of advice. DO NOT ADJUST THE BOBBIN TENSION. If stitches are not coming out nicely, here is a list of things to check / adjust. Are you using new needle? Needles need to be replaced...
  5. Need to recreate this in a high resolution version

    you can also try tineye.com for the image search..
  6. Material for Life Size Cutouts

    Do they need to stand up to the elements? If not.... You might want to consider using 1/2" Ultraboard for freestanding cutouts. We've done a bunch of these (also hand-cut) and corex can be flimsy. Even 1/4" ultraboard is much more rigid.
  7. lobby sign hints and help

    Gemini uses Matthews paints. Just an FYI. You may need to use a high-build primer and then sand down to get smooth edges. Another option is to use doming resin after its painted. I saw some really awesome domed letters at a trade show, and I've always want to try it out. Good luck, let us...
  8. lobby sign hints and help

    i would just have Gemini do the letters, they can pantone match.
  9. Church Pricing?

    My sister-in-law, who is a stay at home mom in a posh community, has asked me to quote 4 different projects... Each one has to go before a committee, and by the time the committee gathers to discuss said project, they have already moved on to something different. The last one was a $40 banner...
  10. Church Pricing?

    There are a LOT of small churches near our shop. I typically don't give them more than a 10% discount on anything, but as long as they can give me the appropriate tax form, they are tax exempt. Remember, churches are businesses, too. On occasion I've donated small banners to customers who...
  11. Opinion on Arlon Wrap Material

    Arlon 6000 is the same thing, its very easy to reposition and work with.
  12. What material is this?

    maybe ultraboard? http://www.ultraboard.com/ultraboard/
  13. Seeking source for these fabricated stainless letters

    why not just drill out the bottom mount yourself?
  14. Laser engraving on Glass in the Northeast

    i've used http://www.glassamerica.com/ for something similar.
  15. anyone printing on magnetic sheeting?

    We realized that all full color magnets must use cast vinyl. For this reason, I now HATE making magnets. We don't print cast that often, so its a big PITA to switch out rolls for a 3 or 4 sq ft of print. Not to mention the laminate. Oy.
  16. Opinion on Arlon Wrap Material

    We've wrapped two trailers with it, and it was awesome.
  17. Source help please

    WYLD GFI can probably do it, too.
  18. 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 10' wood posts? Oak or PT?

    we always use pressure treated lumber, and I would guess that they probably were originally 6x6's that were planed down to that size.
  19. Tax exemption

    I think they would get in trouble. I use my resale cert all the time, I know at Home Depot it says something to the effect that tax is due if I'm not reselling the item. I would assume its more about the purchaser in that case, not the seller. The few times someone has come in claiming they...
  20. Tax exemption

    You can be a tax-exempt organization, which means you do not have to pay sales tax on the items you buy. Examples of this are government entities, certain non-profits (some are required to pay), most churches, schools, etc. Or you can be a reseller. For example, if you are purchasing printed...
