  1. Lettering Tracks

    Acrylic panel, gemini tracks, weld-on glue. Simple, just cut some plywood to the space you need and apply the tracks using the plywood as a spacer. Done it a thousand times. PM me if you need help.
  2. What happened here???

    Two words "nikalite reflective" Use crap, get crap results!!!! Replace it with scothlite at no cost, lesson learned!
  3. Inkjet office printers - Not large format, what do you use?

    We print 40-50 documents a day and spend around $400 a year on toner, how much does this bulk system ink cost to run?
  4. Cast vs Calendered and clear coat

    I guess it all depends on how you want your company to be refected. One that uses top quality material making stuff that will last or just some cheap hack out to get the job on price alone. 651 is a good material for cheap stuff as outlined in it's specs from oracal.
  5. New Facility!!!!

    Sent pics, that is about 1/3 the size of our shop and I don't feel lonely! Our shop is 110'x120'.
  6. How to proceed

    I give ballpark prices and only design if I know for a FACT I have the job.
  7. Cast vs Calendered and clear coat

    We use cast for everything but banners and coro signs! Cut corners to save a buck and see what happens! Repuation is worth more than that!
  8. Inkjet office printers - Not large format, what do you use?

    Konica Minolta color laser is what we have. A color laser will pay for itself in the ink you save in 6 months!!!!
  9. Material Advice

    bet they are screws, pull them and use 3551 orajet with 290 lam.
  10. 4x6 hanging sign substrate

    +on 6mm MaxMetal. I would do a frame around it and chain it so it can't swing too much. That thing would beat itself to death if left to swing like that. All hanging signs I have ever made that are over 6 sq feet do not swing.
  11. Brag Alert.. Project picture too.

    You one of "those" dads!!!! Buying votes with juke boxes!!!!
  12. 4x8 Wall Sign

    http://adkinssigns.com/custom.aspx Here are some wall mounted .040 aluminum signs I made. I bend a 2" lip all the way around the glue foam to the back to make it rigid. Then install them on alumunum track so there are no screws in the face of the sign.
  13. BEST material for wraps?

    Pressure sensitive film, you better figure out what that is, you are going to need to know. BTW, how are those Tigers doing? Order is restored! GO BIG RED (off the the Big 10)
  14. BEST material for wraps?

    Yes you need laminate. It makes the print last longer, and WAY easier to install by making the film thicker. Good luck, I would go to Fellars and take their wrap class if all you have ever done is see it on youtube. Or just start wraping friends cars for free until you get good at it. You will...
  15. Here's how I spent my weekend... building vinyl racks.

    I WAS JUST THINKING OF HOW CLEAN HER SHOP LOOKS.... I have ink everywhere in one part and sawdust all over in the other!
  16. Maybe a Roland Expert can help me

    Try running more out before cutting it off to go to the lam. Is the front mark sitting about to the middle of the media clamp? But not under it.
  17. What Would You Do.

    Tell them to !#@!OFF. Tell them this deal is off and you can't do the job. Simple.
  18. Banners

    we use 13 oz for normal banners, 16 for stuff going to be up a while. Banners are SHORT TERM, be sure the customer knows this. I have morons that order banners and think they will last 5 years.....Morons..I meant customers....
  19. Racecar number?? Font?

    Euromode or Square bold
  20. New Guy who enjoys and respects the art of sign making
