  1. 2-sided window clings

    True static or would a super-low-tack removable work?
  2. Canvas Frames?

    We buy most of ours at local art supply stores as needed. Sometimes we'll do a volume run of a larger quantity of stretched frames, if they're smaller we usually router-cut the frames from 3/4" plywood. Makes for a quick, cheap and strong frame. We did a couple hundred like this once for a pizza...
  3. Print to Trade - Budget Wrap Material

    I don't stock those budget films normally (we do stock 180C and 3751 though), but I'd be glad to order it in for you if you use it a lot. We should be a one-day ship to you as well. PM me if interested and I'll get you some pricing.
  4. Signvox, curious, shopworks

    My vote would be for Signvox as well. It'll do exactly what you're asking. For the money it can't me beat IMO.
  5. I'm in a bind! 54" down - Need outsource

    PM me the specs, I can probably squeeze this in for you tomorrow if you're interested.
  6. Océ Arizona 318 GL

    Our CET took us some time to profile, not going to lie its not the easiest thing under the sun to get a huge gamut out of. I think we've been fairly successful at creating some reasonably good profiles without sacrificing too much speed though. On the flip side, others here are right, the ink is...
  7. Banner Sewing

    That's crazy! No other modification needed to the machine? How strong is the stitching compared to a true 2-needle?
  8. Banner Sewing

    Yeah, you can do that, doesn't hurt anything to run with just one needle. You're probably over thinking the one needle vs. two thing though, 99% of the time (if not more) you will want two. We've been sewing in house for about 3 years and have yet to encounter a time we needed one needle. And...
  9. Banner Sewing

    My understanding is you can't convert a single-needle to double-needle but I could be wrong. But I don't see how it could be possible (assuming the machine is a true single-needle). Definitely look at a double-needle, go with a 1/4" gauge (needle spacing), that'll sew just about anything you'll...
  10. Opinions on New 54" printer to buy

    My only advice is don't get a 54", go for 60-64", the price difference is pocket change. You won't always use the 5' width but it's really nice to have when you need it. I guess I will also recommend Mimaki, we've had several of their machines and they are fantastic. And you can get a 63" JV33...
  11. Just bought a zund cutter - potentially selling our old one

    Do you have a ballpark on what you'd want to get for it? What options does it have? We've been considering one for a while...
  12. Textured wall vinyl, exterior

    Removal is a piece of cake with the 3M, it pulls right off with no residue (that I've seen). When I say it's time consuming, I'm not kidding. And the more extreme the texture the longer it takes. It's not like I've installed a million square feet of the stuff so I'm sure the more you do the...
  13. Properly prepping plywood or some other wood grain showing material

    We've been experimenting a lot with flatbed printing to plywood lately and the results are really cool, that may be an option for you here. I would think with a few coats of some sort of polyurethane a sandwich sign like this would be durable enough, as long as everybody has a realistic...
  14. Textured wall vinyl, exterior

    We've Tried MacTac's product and 3M's and 3M's has held up considerably longer. The first project we did was on some stucco/Dryvit columns about 2.5 years ago, with 3M, and they are still holding up well. The customer asked us to change two of these to a new graphic and we tried MacTac the...
  15. Trivia...

    Yup, pretty cool. Also works with scotch tape... You can actually come up with some pretty cool effects using various finishes of clear vinyl or laminate over frosted vinyl.
  16. Trivia...

    The frosted becomes clear.
  17. RTA Vinyl?

    We actually do a surprising amount of cut vinyl work for other shops. Gino's right, sometimes it can be a pain, especially smaller orders, but if you want to PM me I'll be glad to take a look at what you're doing and give you a price.
  18. Work Orders, Invoices, Quotes App?

    Glad you signed up, i's well worth the investment, you won't be sorry! My favorite part about it is they're constantly pushing out new updates for it. It seems like at least once a week we'll open it in the morning and to our surprise some little thing has been tweaked to improve it. The...
  19. Well, I guess tables are a shop tool... post yours?

    If you have the room I'd go to 6' wide. We had 5' tables before and when you're dealing with banner material that's 63" wide a 60" table can be just enough of a pain... 6' is way easier to work with. I'd go with 2x6s for the length of the table instead of 2x4s, our last tables were 5'x8' and we...
