  1. Why must customers design banners in photoshop

    Bringing in a 3in x8in thing on a thumb drive and wondering why it looks crappy as a 3'x8'. It would be one thing if it was made to actual size, or high enough res to blow up...but seriously you think these crap 1 inch logos you found on google are gonna do it? and your tiny strokes? and RGB...
  2. Best place to buy hem tape?

    I guess I was asking where you got your tape, currently we buy from fellers so we can get the free shipping, but their prices are a bit high. I'm still waiting for the typical signs 101 response "Why don't you just get a hem sealer or a sewing machine?" The tough tape looked good, but as most...
  3. Best place to buy hem tape?

    As in the best deal, we use the oracal tape... so wheres the cheapest source or even a better alternative to the yellow backed oracal tape.. I tried a no name white backed hem tape a while back and was not impressed.
  4. Procut Mps paper cutter manual of any kind?

    I know this is a bit off topic for a sign forum but we've got a pro-cut mps system that is stuck on millimeters and has been for several months... Does anyone know how to turn it back to inches or better yet has a manual? Thanks in advance! :signs101:
  5. Nail Polish uses?

  6. Nail Polish uses?

    I heard from a guy that it was a good edge sealer, at least better because of price over the seal it pen. Is it really a good edge sealer, or should I go with strips of lam? Seems to me it would be easier to use nail polish and go around the design rather than cutting and splicing pieces of...

  8. Someone please explain gerber edge printers

    The website is kinda vague, yes I know it uses heat to transfer resins, but that was about it...not looking to buy one just wondering what kind of applications it was suited to and where it excelled we're all friends right ;)
  9. Someone please explain gerber edge printers

    I had just read an article in signcraft about a couple who used one, the designs could have been easily done with cut vinyl but he goes on about the costs of doing a truck graphic using "digital printing" looks like it took him and his wife 2+ hours to print and apply a 2 color graphic to a...
  10. Someone please explain gerber edge printers

    I've actually looked into it and read about them (briefly) and I don't see the appeal... They seem to print and cut designs, but what makes them superior(or not) to solvent/latex printing. It looks expensive and slow and as much could be achieved with cut vinyl. Where am I not making the...
  11. Working procedure requirements

    Sitting down to weed is lazy and slow...Been weeding and getting on lazy/large people sitting down to weed 10+ years...T shirt vinyl and crazy detailed stuff is the only acceptable time to sit. Why do you have a production guy who isn't nimble? I thought that was a job requirement to be...

  14. Pretty New to Wrapping...trying company minivan...

    I know it was an easy target...I would probably hate too.. Well, at least I learned some things playing with it... thanks for all the helpful comments We've had the logo for 16 years...and we're in a rural market that is easily impressed unlike alot of you guys oh and I tried to convince them...
  15. Pretty New to Wrapping...trying company minivan...

    Ok, so as an installer/production manager I've applied all kinds of decals and whatnot to cars and trucks over 10 years. I have done one full wrap of a chevy astrovan at my previous employer, I learned a hellava lot, and fellow signs101 member Kentucky Wraps came by to show me a few tricks...
