  1. Best place to find used Printers?

    Place in Chicago that rehabs/converts Rolands. They add heaters etc... Can't remember the name though. Rayco and SignSupply in Chicago have demos/refurbs.
  2. printing on fabric

    Dye-sublimation is what you need for your application. Different inks/process.
  3. Banner Tape Recommendation

    We use the banner tape from Signworld. Inexpensive, huge rolls, and works great. No failures. They're a merchant member too.
  4. found this web site to convert cmyk to pantone

    Neat! Thanks for posting.
  5. Shelving Problems

    Find a local carpenter and hand them a sketch of what you want. Custom built is way better than trying to make store bought stuff work.
  6. In the market for a new printer, having a hard time narrowing it down

    I'm curious as to why you need to print on black instead of printing black on white vinyl?

  8. Anyone Buy Or Use This Laminator?

    Lets see, $1200 + $300 shipping + possible international processing and customs charges. The last part means we're going to run the price up because we can, and hold your product in customs until it rots or you've forgotten about it. Oh you wanted it delivered to your shop? That's extra too...

  10. Roland XC540 Prolll Printer Error!!

    Just a guess, but get into the service mode and run a sensor check. Maybe the front Paper Interrupt sensor died. Paper Interrupt sensors are located below the slots in the platen on the control end of the printer.
  11. Accurate cutting with Nikkalite Ultralite II

    Ask Summa if they'll run a test cut for you.
  12. Warranties on vehicle graphics

    Taillight warranty. When I can no longer see your taillights you no longer have a warranty. I do however tell all clients if they should have an issue in a month or so to let me know. Like you stated I have no idea if they will even follow the care instructions they are given.
  13. Tips on Domed Tank Guards

    10 bucks a piece is awfully cheap. You might want to rethink your pricing. My resin carts cost about $25 each and they are only good for about 100 sq in. Now you add in a custom print, contour cutting etc... If you've never domed anything it's a lot of fussy labor. Be prepared for failures...
  14. Mailing Postcards....Anyone have any luck with it?

    Another approach: Target area. When you put a sign on a new business send out a postcard to businesses in a 6 block radius of that project. There are mailing services that can help you with this directed advertising.

    Toss up between our safety rulers and Big Squeegees.
  16. Question on best way to construct a sign

    Flat against the building or projecting? Of course where I'm at it doesn't matter. Requirements call for materials/construction to withstand 30lbs. per square foot wind load. Check local codes. We had to specify fasteners, placement etc...

    :Welcome: from sunny Wisconsin.
  18. Sticking Vinyl to 040 Aluminum Painted

    Nein das ist verboten! About 20 some years ago I ended up doing a job twice because of Dawn dish soap. Learned the hard way if you don't have the proper products to finish a job don't even start.
