So you get the 3M product in 54" rolls or are they available in 15" wide rolls for use with the Edge?

We do use UV Abrasion guard on all exterior prints. It helps us make believe they will last.

We don't laminate our Edge prints either. We do, however, watch certain colors fade to invisibility when used outdoors. No parking signs become parking signs as the red circle and slash disappear, leaving only the black. The Edge is fantastic for interior work, labels and short term exterior...

I'm with Marlene. I usually stay out of conversations like this. I prefer to only post questions and answers to sign topics, but when Gino was on topic, I felt I was getting the benefit of a highly experienced, successful sign professional. I hope whatever drove him to post so negatively is...

We have been very happy with our HP8600's. So happy we bought the second one last month. They were just updated to the 8610 and some real deals (under $100) are out there. We can print form our iPhones and MacBooks and iMacs wired or wirelessly. I don't know if it's Bluetooth or AirPrint, but...

Our wood carver is on vacation and one of our largest customers needs a carved sign installed by July 10. None of our backup wholesale sources can meet that deadline. Is anyone here able and willing to do this or know a wholesale source who might? The sign is 8' long by 3' high and is made...

The only way to do that for most brands is to buy the finished decals from the manufacturer or through one of their dealers.

I'm certain a qualified estimator would need knowledge of the sign industry, sources, processed, even hardware requirements. They would have to consider various options for many projects and just plug in some numbers for simple ones. Are these people out there? Where would you look for them...

Oddly Gerber says their software will run on a Mac. I guess I better check to see if they mean using Boot Camp or Parallels. The same question would apply to Flexi. If it's not supported using Parallels, is it supported running Boot Camp? Does anyone know if it supports Gerber devices? If...

Does anyone have a full time Estimator on staff? If so, how much do you feel you need in sales to support such a position? I have been spending nearly all my time preparing estimates and still have an embarrassing backlog of requests for quotes. I'm willing to consider better software to...

Does anyone know if Flexi subscription runs on a Mac? If so, does it need Windows running on a Mac or will it run natively or on a browser? Does it support Gerber plotters (HS15+ and Envision 375) and Gerber printers (Edge LE and Edge II)? We accidentally turned on Windows updates and now...

Does anyone know where to buy roof brackets? We need to install a sign on a pitched roof and we have always had to make the brackets. Someone must sell an adjustable bracket to hold a roof sign without it being custom made.

Years ago a designer that worked for us designed a pretty simple website using Flash. The designer no longer works for us and is too busy to update this customer's site. The customer wants one page added to his website. Is anyone willing to do this or know where he can go to get it done...

The domes are hemispheres, so the diameter is 14', the height is 7'. The lettering looks to be about 30" high? Would you figure the circumference of the dome (~44') to set up the lettering and then apply them one at a time? Would you use the circumference at the top of the letter, which would...

I should ask Kate to introduce herself to the community. Kate is a graphic designer from Australia, now living in the United States and working with me here in Plymouth, MA. She has been using this site frequently to ask for (and receive answers) to numerour font queries. For your quick...

I have a good friend who does some pretty wild (creative?) work for a prominent Boston architectural firm. Our most unusual projects have been for him. I have to give him a price to paint and apply lettering to the 14' diameter domes as shown in the attached illustration. My shop is in a...

Saw a news photo of a local shop applying the graphic for the Boston Marathon starting line. For some reason they use vinyl for the start and paint the finish line. I think the finish line stays up all year and the starting line is removed after 40,000 runners cross it.

I thought it was a modified Kabel also, so I tried a few examples to see how it looked. They are attached here. The 2 is clearly edited, although it may be that the "loop" is just clipped to meet the ADA requirements. Even though I'm close, I may inadvertently make a sign non-compliant by...

I know there's not much to go on here, but I like the look of this font for hotel room numbers and hope someone knows what it is.

Does anyone know a source for high quality bronze or brass ADA compliant signs suitable for use in a high end hotel? Everything I've seen has been disappointing. I'm not looking for brass-looking, or pseudo bronze, but the real thing. We will need over 50 room numbers and another 30 or so...
