Good idea -- I'll give a try! I can probably just engrave the applique with the masking film on (or add an extra layer of clear or paper transfer tape if needed, prior to engraving), then weed only the areas that need painted... and go from there. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, I was just thinking of one of those printers you sometimes find at the trade shows... like this: https://www.artisjet.com/index.php/en/community/applications/79-custom-braille-signs-print Think I'll give the painted applique a shot this time around! :)

Weird subject line, I know. I've got a customer (apartment complex) that needs a replacement unit sign similar to this one -- see attached -- (2-color orange/gray on black, 6" x 8" w/ pictos + "braille", qty 1) I'm not sure how the original signs passed inspection because the supplier gave...

Nobody really mentioned much about getting paid, so I'll add this bit... Regardless of how you decide to price this (hint: err on the side of caution -- give yourself enough room for waste / mistakes / warranty repairs). Once you figure out the total cost, make sure to discuss this with your...

Here's the "crop mark" script I use with the latest version of Illustrator... I've been using this one for years. Or if you need one that works with an older copy (CS6 or something) just do a Google search for "MakeCropMarksAI.jsx" In Illustrator, use the File > Scripts > Other Scripts function...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I'm going with Dan @ Trigon! =D

From what I've gathered, all (or most) of the hardware support is handled directly through Epson, including the extended warranties. While I'm sure there are other techs that can work on the Epsons -- and maybe some of the distributors have techs that can troubleshoot certain things over the...

Hi folks! I'm looking to purchase the Epson S80600. Pricing appears to be the same at every distributor I've talked to, so the decision comes down to service / support / training / supplies. I haven't purchased equipment from any of these companies before. Does anyone have a suggestion on...

Last week a Fellers rep said he spoke with his rep at 3M. Their main plant in Kansas caught fire, so 3M had to move (some?) production to their (2) smaller plants. I wasn't able to find any news articles related to "said" fire, but that's what Fellers told me. Hmmm...

Physical fasteners it is! Thanks all! =D

Hi guys! I need to install a pair of 3x5 ACM sign faces in this double-sided frame (3" tube frame with 2" tube center --- for recessed faces). Normally I'd go with screws w// plastic screw caps, but I was thinking... what about 3M clear VHB tape instead (for a nicer finished appearance)? I...

I can get really good detail with my old Mutoh 1614 (DX5 print heads). This is just printed on some really cheap Pop-Up banner. Of course the quality is much better when printing on a cast film.

Whoops. I just noticed I answered the wrong question. I don't know of anyone in the states that makes the cheap/basic wire stands. Every box from every supplier I've ever seen has a "made in China" sticker. You can see some of the wire manufacturing videos on YouTube. Just big...

He's referring to the polybag signs -- mostly used for political / campaign signs. This is where I get mine from: http://polybagplanet.com/ (e.g. 10k single-color, double-sided 24" x 16" polybag signs, including the wire frame = [pricing removed from this post] all for less than the cost of...

Ever seen how newspapers/magazines are printed? The huge reel to reel paper roll / presses? It's a similar method for plastic bag signs... so unless you're really into huge production, buying them from a vendor is definitely the easiest / least expensive way to go. But if you're still...

I manage just over 400 domains at my other business (web dev, sysadmin, etc.)... across 9 dedicated servers... most of which are CentOS-based (others are Ubuntu, and a few of them run alt panels like Cyberpanel and RunCloud). cPanel changed their pricing structure this year (big increase in...

I've tried a variety of methods over the past 12 years. These days I change the grommet position depending on the size of the banner and how it will be installed. There's a good chance that if I'm going to put webbing into a banner, I'm probably also using 18oz smooth face. (Ultraflexx...

Interesting!

I was looking into getting an HP, but heard about issues with media usage. Most of my jobs are small/random, so it wouldn't be ideal for me. ~3 yards at the end? Yikes! I still run a Mutoh 1614 (purchased in 2008), and this machine is such a workhorse. Still looks/runs like brand new. I've...
