  1. How to mount pylon sign?

    poles-thru or not, doesn't matter BUT they are both two different types of construction. something that big would definitely require an engineer's-stamp, whichever way you go about it: poles "not-thru" requires match-plates welded to poletops/bottom of sign, bolted together at time of...
  2. Error 14:10:00, machine wiggles?

    my machine wiggled a lot, prior to realizing that you can lock the wheels it sits-on. now, it still wiggles but only slightly. just make sure all of your assembled parts are tight/snug & lock the wheels and you should be fine.
  3. Best Way To Re-Stick Lifting Decal Edge?

    spray77 can get messy, but it should last. best long-term outdoor fix, however, would be to finish-off with some clear laminate... applied to the graphic, and wrapped-around/tucked underneath whatever you can.
  4. Best Way To Re-Stick Lifting Decal Edge?

    clean and use a light amount of rubber contact cement.
  5. Print Directly to Wood?

    if anything else, there's plenty of youtube videos out there for transferring a solvent print onto a wood substrate
  6. 3M Fasara printable with HP L26500?

    polyester theory debunked, as I have printed on Avery Chrome wrap vinyl just fine as well. +1 to anything with a slight texture will print great. still, I have yet to find a material that I cannot print on the HP26500. ...only issues being buckling/warping of lesser-grade vinyls.
  7. How would you make a banner with changable dates?

    most of the banners we do are donations ...and keep coming back every year for donation date changes. started-out by using vinyl to remove/replace, but that becomes tiresome. printed patch simply slapped-on over the existing is the way to go! ...just make sure you have a setup file ready to...
  8. You want vinyl for your Cricut?

    "not for re-sale. educational & recycling purposes only. limited colors & sizes may apply. cash donations for office pizza-party" ....@$10psf
  9. Cut Vinyl Graphics on Vehicle, little pieces coming off of edges, Anybody know why?

    similiar thread to this, recently, and the best theory was ice damage similiar to glacial erosion but on a smaller scale. Freezing water traveling down and across the back of the van, freezing and expanding into strings/sheets of ice, and gouging the vinyl.

  11. Liquid Laminate for Canvas Prints

    ClearShield is great stuff.
  12. Micro 3d Printer on kickstarter raised over 1 million in 1 day

    last I remember, these things move at about one vertical inch per hour on an 18" cubed printer. not very fast at all. good luck finding ways to make this a sign shop item anytime soon. if you REALLY want to offer your clients 3D printed products, there are plenty of outsources available with...
  13. Please advise on designer fees

    $60/hr minimum, but its up to you to determine actual design time allotted and value of said design. Its easy to sit there and play all-day on layouts, but if the client isn't excited about paying $500 for a proof-sheet on a small project then you're just wasting time and money. We usually...
  14. Severe ink blur on HALF magenta on Test Draw?

    messing with dampers can be easy, or result in another can of worms if you break the adaptor on the manifold. soak the heads, clean your printer thoroughly, flush system with cleaning cartridges, and refill with ink. starting "fresh" is a great way to begin diagnosis.
  15. Severe ink blur on HALF magenta on Test Draw?

    maybe ink pigment seperating from solvent from settling for too long? try stirring your bags and flushing your system.
  16. Can anybody help with this?

    Looks like a Western font, italicized/skewed. I want to say Saddlebag, but that's not right. wish i could be more help, but i'm no guru...
  17. Vinyl Applied to Surfaces That Get Hot

    try a sample. apply a sticker to a pot of boiling water. increase your odds by only using cast materials, to avoid shrinkage/curling. could very well slide-off the truck over time like a pickle on a glass window, but it could work just fine. at the very least, you should make sure to...
  18. Overspray

    you'll only really see static issues in the dry months, but now it's spring and the humidity is back-up and I want to say your head is dying.
  19. Comic Sans redone, it's great and it's free!

    lol, "make your lemonade stand look like a fortune 500 company!"
