  5. Dibond to Stucco with liquid nails?

    So now the story changes, now you're saying you hired a install crew to install this? :popcorn: can you name the company you used so no one else in your area hires them to install any signs on stucco
  6. Can I do this?

    try calling around to different sign shops aroundand see if anyone is willing to sell at a wholesale rate to you, prehaps you could offer something to another shop that they don't offer, could be a good deal for both of you. COuld you not order from someone in Florida? I'm pretty sure that...
  7. Help removing frosted vinyl.

    I've never had to do this but i was just thinking, would putting laminate over the vinyl and removing the whole lot be feasible? I'm just thinking out loud here.
  8. Dibond to Stucco with liquid nails?

    Now i'm not a member of the "older crowd" I'm 26 year old and Have been in this industry for about 5 years. I would think twice before dismissing any info given to me from someone who has been making signs for longer than i have been alive. The truth of the matter is that an installation is...

    I have had luck with ink 4 u http://www.ink4u.ca/ I'm also having trouble with any suppliers up here carrying any Oracal vinyl besides black white and red, every supplier seems to only carry Avery
  10. Top rated material for heat transfer

    I've had good luck with Rite Media Quick Easy print from All Graphics Supplies, ask them for a small sample roll.
  11. 3rd party ink killed printhead?

    I don't know about anyone else, but my customers pay for my ink. I don't think the savings are worth the potential headaches, ink cost is such a small fraction of the cost of a sign. I know every penny counts, but I find it hard to believe that if my machine had an issue while I was using a 3rd...

    +1 to the mesh banner, never used flag material though
  13. Another odd ball project we did this week

    +1 on the no pvc in the laser, releases chlorine gas, even though our machine vents outside we still won't touch the stuff. I'm suprised your laser guy didn't know this
  14. my first trailer

    Thanks! as for the logo, this customer is a well established company and wanted to "freshen up" their logo while keeping it recognizable, their old logo was just the CPS letters, one of their only stipulations was that we keep that in tact. Philip at sign amigo did the logo as well, customer...

  16. Need to outsource some designs

    another vote for phillip at sign amigo, his work is always great and his turnaround time is awesome!
  17. my first trailer

    I'm aware of the 3551/210 combo, however i felt it would be fine for this as there are no rivets or curves in the trailer, seems to go down fine on the flat surface. as for a hot day in Ontario, we have been having a bit of a heat wave for the last 2 weeks or so, on the day i was installing...
