  1. Suggestions Difficult Client. Just Want Opinions.

    I don't understand why they have a problem with this. I don't use foamcore, hate the stuff, but would have done it the same as you on pvc. Unless they specified the job for prints I don't see an issue. How you handle it depends on whether are willing to lose on this job to keep the client happy...
  2. Attaching Photos

    Actually that was what I was using but it kept rejecting my files, no matter what they were. Then I tried pasting it into the dialouge box and that worked, except when I went to post the ones that it said didn't upload popped up? I'm probably doing something that doesn't agree with the new...
  3. Need Help Looked Like Frutiger Or Maybe Myriad

    I think we have a winner...Frutiger Ultra Black, looks like it...Humanist is close, as is Myriad, but the R was the stickler Thanks
  4. Need Help Looked Like Frutiger Or Maybe Myriad

    I thought it was Frutiger, then tried Myriad but neither is quite right....any ideas Thanks
  5. Attaching Photos

    Figured it out...but now can't delete this post....
  6. Need Help Lighted Box Sign Mounted With "unistruts"

    It's a way distribute the load across the surface instead of nuts & washers pulling on one spot. So depending on the bolt pattern you may use a 6' length vertically to hold three bolts. And spectrum is right, an length of angle iron will serve the same purpose.
  7. Need Help Lighted Box Sign Mounted With "unistruts"

    Yep, when you're in a box store look up at the bar they hang HVAC and similar equipment with. It's a heavy duty slotted channel. We get it at a industrial supply house like Grainger Strut Channel - Strut Channel and Accessories - Grainger Industrial Supply
  8. Suggestions Acm...........................

    Yep, our scrap dealer doesn't want any ACM, just solid aluminum. I may get away with a little other stuff mixed in that is attached to old sign boxes but they check out the aluminum loads pretty carefully.
  9. 3mm Pvc Ok For Hanging Post?

    ACM is a good option, but they may still think it's aluminum. We do 10mm coro for some customers.
  10. 5 Ft X 20ft Banners Installed On Plywood

    I don't think she "und"erstands. And neither do I. If an installation requires posts & plywood why bother with the banner? Just make the plywood the sign. Banners usually mean "cheap and temporary" (not always but usually), so if the client want a 5'x10' temporary sign where there is nothing to...
  11. High Per. Vinyl Failing In Winter

    He's talking about high performance (cast) vinyl on propane tank trucks (don't think anyone, even some of the newbies here, would put perforated vinyl on a metal truck). And yeah, they say no windex, but I've never (in 30 years) had vinyl fail because the surface was cleaned with windex. But...
  12. Sign Warehouse! Good or bad?

    Maybe because this thread is 9 years old?
  13. Printing Backlit Sign

    Two prints, one on clear one on white. Apply the clear print then apply the white print, of course registering them is important.
  14. Need Help Looking For 'safety Policy' Suggestions

    I'm surprised they don't have their own. We do work in a few places that require you take a brief "class" with their safety coordinator and have a list of the plant rules to follow. I would just go online and find a standard one and copy it.
  15. Where Do I Start

    There are wrap classes out there....vehicle wrap class - Google Search
  16. I inherited a sign shop that I want to keep.

    question number one- Where do ya'll find help? I posted an ad on craigslist and got zero hits. This is a problem for all sign shops, it's not a common skill set. I would continue advertising and if you have sign supply salespeople/drivers coming to your shop let them know you're looking...
  17. Need Help What order to Choke/Spread with Silver Medal?

    So you're printing three colors, silver medal, black & red on white? I would do this as red and black on silver vinyl. Instead of choke/spread could you try making the black ring a complete separate piece which overprints on the red circle? To save the silver test with another color till you...
