  1. Graphics on Concrete

    We have a client looking for graphics to apply to a concrete corridor in a hospital. We've done them using special 3M vinyl and laminate for short term (one year) use in museums, but never long term use in a hospital. It will get significant traffic and they are asking us to recommend a clear...
  2. Best transfer method for Frosted Crystal on glass

    We are applying a panel of Frosted Crystal vinyl on glass with a series of doctor's names knocked out. We have done this many times but are struggling with this one for some reason. The biggest problem we're having is removing the backing sheet (clear plastic liner) and getting everything...
  3. Printing 4c process images on a Gerber Edge

    We have used a Gerber Edge since 1996 to print spot colors for use in interior graphics, decals, logos, etc. We never used it for printing full color (process) images because we found the output unsatisfactory and the exterior longevity of the prints lacking. We used a solvent printer for those...
  4. Gerber Edge II Extension Cord?

    Can the Gerber parallel port to USB adapter be used with an extension cord, either on the USB side (easy to find) or the parallel port side (hard to find)? We just updated Omega from 2.6 to 6.0 after many years. Not so much because we wanted new Omega software but wanted to replace our 1990's...
  5. font ID help

    I tried the obvious and tried What the Font and came up empty. Anyone?
  6. Free printer and printer/cutter

    I don't know if this is the correct forum, but we have two pieces of equipment we'd love to give away. Now the good news is, that's give, as in FREE, just take them away. The not so good news is they're ten or so years old and haven't been used much in the last few years so the inks are...
  7. Sandblasted Wood Sign

    I'm looking for a supplier of sandblasted wood signs. I have a customer, a regional conservation group, that won't allow us to use HDU, so I'm looking to have a sign blasted for interior use as a donor recognition plaque. The face would be painted then blasted to expose the natural wood to...
  8. Cut Letters not al Closing

    We're in the middle of cutting 1100 decals and cannot get our Roland cutter to cut perfectly. We have a Roland Camm Jet Pro CJ 540 (which is the same as a Roland SJ-540 except for the ink) and a Roland Color RIP (made by Wasatch). The first 500 decals cut perfectly (as the client demands)...
  9. Digital Menus

    Does anyone know of good wholesale supplier of digital menu systems? Would you recommend a sign shop offer this product or is it too complicated to manage effectively? We're trying to decide whether to sell one to one of our longstanding customers or just refer a good source. I like to offer...
  10. Wide format supplier in Miami?

    I have a customer with an event in Miami next week and he's asking for two cut out (exterior) stand up figures. Crating and shipping to Miami will cost more than printing and cutting the figures. Does anyone know of a reliable wide format printer in Miami who could do this job and deliver...
  11. Font ID help

    Not a lot to go on, just an S and a 3, but I could use your help.
  12. fit factory font

    It would be easier to vectorize this logo than to wait for the right file format. If I knew what the font was. Anyone?
  13. name this font?

    came from a piece of art on Shutterstock, so it may be hand drawn, but if it's a font, what it is?
  14. Crack Back labels

    Can anyone recommend a source for crack back labels from a wholesale source with reasonably good color matching capabilities? I need 500 oval labels, 6" x 4" for a customer we do a lot of work for, so we need the PMS colors to match the previous work we've done.
  15. Font ID?

    Anyone know this one? It may have been hand carved, but it looks awfully familiar.
  16. How would you make 600 of these?

    I have a customer requesting a quantity of 600 pieces of gold (colored?) lettering applied to blocks of walnut. The sample looks identical to Sign Gold Satin film, but thicker. The client says they are very thin aluminum painted with 23k gold paint. If so, they are incredibly thin. The "Since...
  17. Vinyl for textured wall

    What vinyl would you use to adhere to the textured wall shown in the photo attached? I have to print two spot colors and would ideally do so using my Gerber Edge, so 15" vinyl would be preferred. I outsource all my inkjet and flatbed printing and don't expect my printers to stock such a...
  18. Cutting Polycarbonate

    I always buy polycarbonate cut to size, but a new supplier cut everything oversize by 1/8" to 3/8" inch in each direction. I'm concerned they won't fit in the light cabinets without being trimmed. Can polycarbonate be trimmed on a panel saw or are special blades or tools required? I know...
  19. Packing a Gerber Edge for Shipment

    Does anyone have or know where to find the document "Packing and Unpacking to Prevent Damage" so I can ship a Gerber Edge LE properly? Every document on Gerber's website refers to this document, which for the life of me I can't find. Couldn't they just have added a page to the owner's manual...
  20. Cut Sandblast Mask Source

    Does anyone know a source for buying a sandblast mask cut from our graphic file? I used to do them here but haven't done one in years. I'm not sure my Roland CJ 540 can cut a material so thick and I hate to buy a roll of material to find out. Even if it could, buying a roll of material to cut...
