Either cheap materials which fail earlier or the right materials and they are old.

I think it would be useful to me. Especially when I get files done on the newer versions of Adobe that I can't import into Corel.

By "regular" do you mean aqueous? If so try Lexjet. Maybe BigFish will chime in.

Why not use a matte finish paint? Additives reduce the quality of the paint. Just get a good quality flat house paint

Duck, you are about to get some advice...:eek: Don't know why it's hard to find, same places that carry the other stuff you say you have lined up would have them. Here's one https://www.amazon.com/Ving-Notching-Notcher-Machine-Channel/dp/B073QN6335 or for something better for a beginner...

I use HP aqueous printers for a lot of poster work. Last 4 or 5 I bought refurbished from dealers with one year maintenance contracts. They have worked fine. Last two Gerber plotters I bought the same way, but only 90 day warranty. Also worked well. It's like the difference between a used car...

I usually use the 1" bottom and/or top tape. Or a pen pettern and slice out the middle. I've had a few pounce patterns that were pain to clean up so stopped using them.

How about mounting the panel with tape to another panel which has the cleats? You could even use acrylic for the backer and the cleats and bond cleats with resinbond.

What you showed it what I was thinking. I just think it's cheaper and simpler than trying to mount the whole banner on something like coro, but I would make the strips about an inch. Sounds like the banners weren't specified for the application and poorly made at that

Problem is they are pointed on the bottom, I assume that's what pennant shaped means. I wouldn't be surprised they aren't even hemmed. If possible add a pole pocket on top by folding and banner tape. If there's not enough material to do that then add a few more grommets and screw or thru bolt...

Are there pole pockets on top? Since it doesn't sound like you have sewing as an option If I would try adding a 1" wide piece piece of 3mm pvc around the perimeter with vhb tape. That should flatten all the edges and and add enough weight to hang flat.

As has been said, get a sample print of the color and have it approved

I agree, PVC was the wrong material and the sign sounds like a problem waiting to happen. A new rigid frame with wall mount plates and aluminum faces would be the way to go. Proper engineering and installation are essential.

I get what you're asking and that the job you have is enjoyable because it must have a lot of variety. Nothing wrong with old school skills and methods but It's good to keep up with new materials and methods. I agree with subscribing to a few of the sign mags, Signs of the Times, SignCraft, Sign...

Did you try an F8 reset to factory defaults?

Bumpers are placed in the middle of the box attached to a structural upright. They are a little back from the face so if the face pushes in it stops it from going so far it will come out of the retainer.

Depends on the retainer system, but usually no. Don't go much over 4x8 for something like that

Those are in good shape for their age. Too bad you don't know what paint was used, it was good. I wouldn't "power" wash, just soak with a good soap/mildew/crud cleaner, scrub with a brush and then rinse. Hopefully the paint will mostly remain intact. Then paint with a good quality paint. I...

It's crazy here too, they say its' all the New Yorkers getting out of the city. They also say people are fleeing CT because of taxes...but must be more coming than going.

Very nice. Never did get to do much glass gilding and admire it greatly.
