AWESOME. thank you.

Also, I'm quite positive you don't get arrested for installing a sign without a permit. Forced to stop work and fined, perhaps, but thrown in the slammer? idontthinkso

Yeah, I looked at that already. There are no prices, and everything is custom made. That is not what I'm looking for. Someone PM'd me exactly what I was looking for though... http://www.nglantz.com/storefrontCommerce/itemDetail.do?itm_id=83130&itm_index=0

I need a source for temporary, exterior banner stands, for use as backdrops at festivals and one-day events. I think they are also know as "pipe & drape" stands, but I can't find anything to purchase that really meets my needs. I can't even find what i'm looking for in my trade show supply...

The link doesn't work for me :( And "cheap table saw" scares me

Isn't most of this usually defined by the municipality / local sign ordinances?

That is hand lettered. The L's are different, as are other duplicated letters.

I have a Mimaki CJV30-130 and I love it. If I were going to do it again, I would NOT have gotten the print and cut. Its pretty useless since your likely to laminate most everything before cutting it anyway. Since we already had a 54" graphtec plotter, the $$ we would have saved on not getting...

I bet Outwater Plastics has something like that. They have everything.

I can't buy a roofless crack-house with bullet holes through the windows and siding for $130K near me. edit: Oh wait! Maybe I can!!

Thanks for the insight. This is why I have a hard time sharing brilliant ideas.

That is fantastic. Did they come to you and say "we want something cool, and our budget is $XXX"? Or did you approach them with sketches and say I've got a vision for your signs and i think you're gonna like it. Give me the money.

The job I'm working on right now is for a guy who keeps saying "CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP." Then he shows me pictures of channel letter signs :frustrated:

I don't think I can ever do that again. I know of two recent big jobs we lost by sending out concept sketches to long-time clients. Kept following up to see what was going on and getting brushed off by one of them. The MFer took my layout and went to someone else who gave them a better price...

Cool, good to know.

We are a small shop, we are growing and I need help. When a typical client calls or comes in, I know how to estimate/price jobs without doing too much beforehand. I can spend 15 minutes or so discussing their needs & wants, and come up with a price immediately. But with big jobs, I'm all over...

grommets on corrugated plastic work just fine. I think this solution could last a year, depending on location. I would suggest using polymetal, its pricier, but it will absolutely last for 1 year, and you can put grommets in it (just pre-drill the holes).

I have no idea what is even going on.

we have a dog at the shop and we use tack cloths. they work very well.

the little Mimaki UV printers were all over the place at the NBM Show in Philly. They are really cool for making promo items and that spot gloss was soooooo neat. But I'd have to sell a LOT of little chotchkies to make it worth the cost. If we were a bigger shop, I'd consider it, but right now...
