  1. Wow, no Halloween pics?

    was fed a peter-pan costume since the bar I was tending went with a "neverland"-theme and no-one else wanted to play the role. however, on monday the 31st, we played our kickball league championship in full costume and I threw this together an hour before "kickoff". $5 for an 8yr old's Green...
  2. Bordeaux Ink Promotion...

    Odd, considering an N.Glantz rep just came through here repping Lyson inks but then sends me the same Bordeaux promotion. never had issues with Bordeaux aside from noticeably increased Solvent odor. switched back to OEM after our first printhead needed replacement (paranoia, thanks to tech...
  3. Can it really be this easy?

    Client asks if I can make a sign for her to match a neighboring sign's font. She was blown away that I was able to say, off the top of my head, "Times New Roman, Bold, You bet I can!"
  4. mounting plastic letters to glass block?

    hogwash, VHB tape plus silicone is plenty. only issue i've ever had with silicone is trying to flush-mount.... you need a good 1/8" gap between or the silicone will spread too thin. which is why i love VHB tape, its pretty thick and allows for such a gap AND it holds pretty darn well on its...
  5. Poly Cleaner

    fairly good results with Citrus Adhesive remover (goo gone). Won't get it all, but it has helped me blur the hard-lines the letters leave behind. i've heard good things about "Ghost-Off" but have never seen it in action.
  6. Prices?

    not bad at all
  7. Every Heard of a Emblem EASYLAM Junior V Laminator??

    48" laminator? surewhynot, as long as that's the max for your printer. seems simple enough, and even though I don't understand german... the youtube video makes me think he's explaining how easy it is to use. I love my Seal by Neschen, but I can't imagine there's many laminators out there that...
  8. Second Monitor Suggestions Anyone?

    just bought a buncha monitors for our gfx dept. for nearly nothing by shopping newegg and overstock. They're really inexpensive in the <24" range.
  9. Alarm/Surveillance Systems for a home

    my friend just opened a bar and has his entire camera system routed through his computer, which he is able to use a remote desktop app on his phone to see what's on the cameras anytime. i'd like to know if the motion sensors triggering an SMS message alert is possible without a paid-service, as...
  10. Printing solid colors

    is it a "smear" or a uniform "banding" in the direction of the print? edited: closer inspecition of the photo appears to be the former. disregard my inquiry :)
  11. Creating Profiles in Onyx 10.1

    alignment issues? print a crosshair with 100% CMYK and if its anything but a solid black line, you got your answer right there.
  12. Tradeshow graphic displays - what media to use?

    sweet! i assume that you just frame it on the backside with velcro? my initial thought was gatorboard as well but I always hate how easily "bruised" they get. ultraboard/gatorplast has been a new favorite for me too, as the face can take more of a beating without denting.
  13. Tradeshow graphic displays - what media to use?

    i believe there's 16 panels, each 2'x4'. mainly curious if I'm not "in-the-know" on some sort of tradeshow-booth graphic media out there that is meant to work with these "displays2go" setups.
  14. Tradeshow graphic displays - what media to use?

    client has one of those fold-able mult-isection tradeshow booths with "velcro-receptive panels" and wants us to put graphics on it. My initial thought is to use a thick polystyrene and velcro, but are there other options for solvent digital printing media that any of you prefer?
  15. Drive through cabinets.

    PepsiPop signage?
  16. Need advice from one of you experts please.

    i think the proper answer to the op, is that for $6k... you're not really getting much at all. you MIGHT be able to pickup a decent printer via ebay for under $8k, but your first set of ink costs you $1k and techs charge over $100/hr just to come look at it, plus travel, whatever more...
  17. Black is printing green

    doubtful it was the ink. air in ink lines could have easily caused this.
  18. Looking for a seamless tile - Epoxy floor coatings

    heck, just make your own? doesn't have to be seamless tile, just make a rectangle and add 3 layers of vectored noise in different colors.
  19. Black is printing green

    pictures? is your test print contaminated? are you sure you're printing 100%K and not just setting up 100%K printfile but letting your profiles change the formula to CMYK%'s?
  20. Any Sign Related Shows Near Vegas Around April 2nd to April 15th 2012?

    did I miss a year?!? feels like I just went to the ISA show in Orlando and was looking forward to Vegas this spring... Well, Orlando it is then! Signs101 party at the dueling piano bar, Howl at the Moon!?!
