  1. Help with scuffs on new printed banners I orderes

    No, other than cleaning to see if it removes some of the scuffs, there's not much you can do.

  3. Sticking Vinyl to 040 Aluminum Painted

    Until you get a BS, center hinge, and have someone hold the end while you firmly apply using a felt squeege. No juice.

    Need recommendation of materials

    I would consider something like Rick's suggestion. Have the while thing routed from HDU, including the grained background. Leave a flat edge to mount some real wood to. That wood can be stained and sealed with a two part marine clear. I have mahogany frames that have held up for 10 years with...

  6. Extruded Street Signs

    My first real sign job was in a city sign shop and we did these in a vacuum applicator with heat. If it's the same type of blank that has a thicker edge applying by hand will be challenging with that type of material.

  7. Maroon Aluminum Clad panel?

    Some panel suppliers like Laminators also make architectural versions of their panels available in more colors

  8. Why aren't there sign design contests for normal signs?

    How about a show for "Top Sign", like Top Chef or Project Runway? They did for interior designers and now they have one for Steam Punk. For the inaugural competition I would nominate Gino, Old Paint, Bob......

  9. Why aren't there sign design contests for normal signs?

    SignCraft does something like this, a sign spec sent to a few selected shops and they submit a design and cost. And hasn't that also been tried here?

    Newbie sign question. Sign type

    Lots of ways to make it. I'd probably do a 1"x1" aluminum tube box built to whatever that depth is and skin it with .040 or .063

  12. Best ink / paint for upholstery vinyl ?

    Just thinking about vinyl ink gives me a headache...but that's probably what would work.

    Newbie sign question. Sign type

    To me it looks a lot thicker than a standard tube frame. What do the other signs in the plaza look like? It looks a little thin too be electric but it almost looks like a ACM face screwed over an electric can

  14. High Performance vinyl on outdoor painted brick wall

    I wouldn't even consider intermediate. Either the best cast material or one of the vinyls made specifically for rough surfaces. But since it had vinyl for 10 years I would assume it was regular cast vinyl.

  15. Glass Smalt Supplier?

    Wow, must be a Big sign. How did you calculate the amount of smalt needed?

    Mounting signs on an A Frame trailer

    It needs a full perimeter frame and at least one middle support, welded. Then thru bolts w/washers & lexel.

  17. Shop's monthly expenses?

    that's like asking "What's a sign cost". Even the same size shop will have wildly different overhead depending on where they are.

  18. 5.0 and windows 10..any issues?

    wondering too

  19. HP DesignJet Z6100 for banners?

    Nope. Not a good printer for outside banners. But for that price if you have a market for interior graphics & posters I'd grab it.

  20. Hiking signs

    Actually I have been a copywriter more than a few times for my biggest customer...they'll call up with the "problem" the sign needs to solve, describe what they're thinking about and usually say "You word it how you think it work best"...and I do. Maybe it's because I had a lot of Marketing...

  21. Mirror

    Or could you print on glass and have them silvered afterwards?
