We are looking at purchasing a used Ledco Econocraft 60" laminator. Can someone help me out with what I should look for? Its been in storage for 4 years, but the guy who is selling it claims that it was very rarely used before that and that it is in "excellent condition." We've never owned a...

Nice work! On a side note, I'm surprised you fabricated the sign before you had the permit in hand! I never start anything if there is a question about obtaining permits.

We've rented one from Home Depot! It worked great.

We will usually copy what someone already had done. I don't really understand the whole "I WANT IT EXACTLY THE SAME" particularly when it is a pretty shiatty layout to begin with, but to each their own. Honestly, it's easier to just do what they want, and I can save my creativity and time...

I always thought it was "low-end graphics"

the link is broken for me :( edit: I think this is the correct link

I had problems this past winter http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?103810-Problems-with-ProMag-Magnetic-Sheeting Magnum saw this thread, did a little deducing who my supplier was based on my location, and called them about it. A rep even stopped by my shop (but I don't know where...

We've been getting more jobs from local design & marketing firms lately. My partner was very adamant that we NOT CHANGE THEIR ARTWORK. Because you know, they are the professional designers, and its insulting to say that we could do it better. Anyway, we did a couple of real estate signs that...

Hey, at least you got a honeymoon. We didn't :(

Yep. Its hard to know everything about everything. That is why we rely on wholesalers to help us choose the best solution for our customers.

We really need to finish cleaning up our reception area. We used to have this terrible cramped space that was always full of clutter and junk. So last winter I decided to demo this stupid, useless piece of junk furniture that was taking up space and making me mad in the front of our shop. I...

Humph. We literally just replaced the panels on one of these signs two days ago. The main panel was 20x30, and the riders were 6x24. I have no idea where our client originally bought the frame. Now I want to know, too!

If they need to be printed, you use Phototex. Oracal also has solid color cut-vinyl (but i'm not sure of the number.)

My partner (and husband) refuses to understand that construction adhesive is not the best solution. It DRIVES me crazy. Do you have any specific instances where you point to the construction adhesive being the reason for failure? Maybe I can convince him once and for all that it is not the...

You know why this is just a bunch of BS? (I'm just talking about the regulation of chalk, not your statement.) Um, I'm pretty sure we all ate lunch at our desks in elementary school, where there was tons of "airborne chalk particles" floating about. Also, chalk is calcium carbonate, a mineral...

We did a sign with cut vinyl over the chalkboard paint. It worked out fine. But I don't think they clean it much :)

Really?!? I've never heard of that.

We used the rustoleum on dibond for a sandwich board sign. After two years, i have to say its not holding up as well as I had hoped. I think the edges are beginning to flake, but I haven't actually seen it yet. We've also used R-Tape's Chalk Talk vinyl, and we like that better. Then only thing...

These are similar, but aluminum instead of PVC. And the prices appear to be better. I actually hate PVC signs, but to each their own.

SAME HERE! I talked to my accountant, and they said its a scam and D & B credit report is worthless. So maybe not a scam, but nobody cares about your D & B report, its kinda like the Better Business Buereau, you only get a good rating if you PAY them. And they only report what you tell them, so...
