  1. Car magnets falling off when cold?

    The bigger the magnet the bigger the problems. That combined with a decline in quality of both magnets and metal. And the recommendation to remove and clean under them is great, except in cold weather. Unless the cleaning and installation is done inside the cleaning fluid may freeze before it...
  2. Suggestions box trailer rivets/screws, paint or leave white

    Its a judgement call. We often cover ones in solid color areas, sometimes with paint markers, or with cast vinyl.
  3. Merry Christmas

    This year's card. I'm a dinosaur, I think I know 3 or 4 other small businesses that still send cards.
  4. Dark/Navy Blue Prefinished panel

    Yes, it's an odd setup. Always have to remember to check which side is out. And what if for a simple double sided sign, you have to bond two together.
  5. Dark/Navy Blue Prefinished panel

    If it were a few panels that's what I'd do, but with the quantity I'd rather not. I have found one manufacturer (Alupanel) that has a dark blue ACM (thanks Gary), waiting for a sample now
  6. Dark/Navy Blue Prefinished panel

    Yes, single sided and will be mounted on brick walls.
  7. Dark/Navy Blue Prefinished panel

    Yea, we could paint them ourselves, but it's like 50 2x10 panels...I may get a price on powder coating.
  8. Dark/Navy Blue Prefinished panel

    I'm looking for a pre-finished panel, preferably 4x10, in dark/navy blue. It could be 3mm ACM, fluted core, or 080 aluminum or any flat rigid exterior material which would take vinyl letters. My vendors don't have anything, even in their custom architectural panels. I could go powder coated...
  9. Gerber Edge FX software and printing

    You have to import the eps file into Omega and then assign the spot colors individually. And check the files to make sure there aren't extra paths. When importing into Omega there will sometimes be doubles, especially with centers of letters.
  10. Sign cabinet frame question

    "Yes, that's the way to go except when you are out doing estimates and don't have your lift/bucket with you. When using a ladder and you're up 15'-20', you cannot pull a 5'x10' sign out safely" Which is when you guesstimate the size and include the cost for a return trip to pull the faces in...
  11. Reflective aluminum signs

    If you have to have 4x4s shipped it may make it too expensive. I would source the 4x4s local sheet with reflective and do cut vinyl lettering
  12. Best way to deal with seams on multiple face panels across large lighted cabinet?

    We have done the the overlap strip, not great but it works
  13. Need Help Client requesting files

    Been discussed a hundred times. To help avoid this in the future add a disclaimer to all orders "All artwork is the property of XYZ Sign Co. etc." As far as this client goes you have to make a judgement call, if you think you may get them back continue to sell them the files, if you think they...
  14. Dancing on vinyl

    It's an interesting problem....lots dance floors are fairly slippery, so you use a non-slip laminate and somebody's ankle twists when they hit the non-slip after sliding across the smooth floor. Then you get sued for causing their injury? Maybe just skip the whole thing.
  15. Suggestions Applying vinyl to cut out letters

    Are you sheeting the letters or applying a cut vinyl letter that has land in a particular spot?
  16. Every Installers Nightmare

    Just looked this up, story says no one was hurt, thank goodness.
  17. Question How do you lift large signs into place >10ft high?

    For that type of sign and height I'd also use ladders and two men
  18. New Product Digital design/ tea company

    To answer your question "D" To add to the critique, it took me a minute to figure out it was the birds wing wrapping around the cup. Lose the sleeve on the other wing so it's more obvious. Is that the color of the tea, it's a really unappetizing shade. There's something going on with the other...
  19. Primers on clear vinyl ?

    Do you have the border set as "clear"? If you do just remove the clear fill, have it with no fill.
