  1. Arched sign brackets needed

    I am looking for a vendor / supplier / brand to search that makes a bracket that would allow me to 'project' a sign panel out from a wall in an 'arched' look. Customer doesn't want the sign to be flat against the wall, but also doesn't want it projecting out 90* from the wall either. So, I...
  2. Little help identifying this font

    WHOA! 2 minutes...impressive! Thanks J Hill Designs.
  3. Little help identifying this font

    Anyone recognize the font used for RED LAKE in the attached file? Thanks in advance.
  4. Font ID...please help!

    Can anyone identify the font used in this photo. I've been up / down my font list (700+) & am getting dizzy trying to match. I know it's one of the 'basics'...just struggling today. Thanks.
  5. And still yet another one....................

    I think we all have 'those' customers...but, I'm almost more amazed that you are getting $50-$60/sqft for an aluminum sign! :omg: That's darn-near what we sell a backlit sign for...WITH THE CABINET TOO!
  6. Battery powered LED Signage lighting

    Yeah...NO SOLAR! I'm looking for clean / simple (battery powered) solutions. A 110v plug-in would be less headache than solar panels, storage batteries & controllers. Someone has to have used a battery powered LED system to give a dimensional sign some added flare!
  7. Battery powered LED Signage lighting

    this maybe should be posted in the LED section...but there didn't appear to much 'activity' there. I am looking for a good solution / product to provide LED lighting / glowing effect behind interior signage! We have done a lot of dimensional Komatex signage that would be greatly enhanced with...
  8. Grounding a plotter

    We recently upgraded Graphtec plotters & have a question regarding 'shocks' when touching the machine. The plotter is in a carpeted room with a plastic mat (office chair type) under it but every once in a while we get a little 'zap' of static electricity when touching the plotter. I know this...
  9. 3M 8518 Laminate causing greenish color shift

    Doesn't 3M already claim that the 8518 IS optically clear!?
  10. 3M IJ35C alternative

    I've read a few other posts on here about peoples general dis-like for 3M's products. However, we have had good luck with 'most' of them over the past 15+yrs. We typically use 3M IJ180 series for vehicles etc. We began using IJ35C with 8518 Laminate for intermediate / interior projects &...
  11. 3M 8518 Laminate causing greenish color shift

    I am using a Roland SolJet Pro III XC-540 (ecosol) printer, and cold laminating printed films and discovering that my prints are color shifting after being laminated. We print most often with 3M IJ180C & laminate with 3M 8518. The laminate appears to be adding a 'greenish' tint to...
  12. Printing full bleed on reflective

    Printing to 3M 680 series...using PRV2 profile (Premium Reflective Vinyl) in VersaWorks. I've begun to believe it is / was our drying time! Very likely it was printed / laminated in the same day (everyone's in a rush all the time)! Gonna give it a try again, but wait at least 24hrs between...
  13. Printing full bleed on reflective

    We had this suggested with some 3M vertical wall film (Fathead-type film) by our 3M rep. He suggested letting it cure/dry at least 24hrs before putting pre-mask on it. I was wondering if the laminate we add may have similar effect as pre-mask...preventing it from curing/shrinking properly!?
  14. Printing full bleed on reflective

    I am about to begin printing on 3M white reflective with our Roland SolJet for a police department fleet of vehicles. The last time I did this...we had an issue a few days later with a few spots where the edge of the reflective vinyl started 'curling' a little bit!? Before I start on this new...
  15. Skulls? Used in advertising.

    Thanks SignaramaFL. Here's a logo for a hunting tv show that uses a skull that I think is done well IMO!
  16. Skulls? Used in advertising.

    Only thing I make payments on is my home at this point in time, everything else...clear title(s) in-hand. Thanks for assuming though. Good for you on the Z06...beautiful car...would love to own one someday. Notice nobody bashing Corvette owners here! Know a couple vette owners myself that have...
  17. Skulls? Used in advertising.

    Well Pat...I have been lurking around this site for quite some time learning and absorbing to improve my sign-making abilities. I happen to own a custom Harley, have many tattoo's, drive a $60,000 Denali pickup with a lift kit! I don't have a Pit Bull, but I do enjoy MMA. I also have a...
  18. Transfer Tape Applicator Needed

    If you've ever used a sheeter (or similar), you will soon realize how nice they are compared to manually squeegeeing! Push the weeded vinyl into the sheeter, grab the other side and pull. Wah-La...taped! No manual labor exerted (barely anyway). You can tape 30' of weeded graphics in less than...
  19. Where to get custom printed flags?

    We've been happy with CVS Flags too.
  20. Transfer Tape Applicator Needed

    we have been using the Weeder Sheeter for the past 10 years and LOVE it. It has finally started giving us soem problems...I believe it is just plain wore out. Problem is...they used to be $500-$600...now they are closer to $1000! What are others of you using for application tape applicators...
