  1. A touchy subject

    Flaming is the act of posting messages that are deliberately hostile and insulting, usually in the social context of a discussion board on the Internet. No FLAMING of other members. Harassment of fellow board members will not be tolerated and may be subject to immediate banning. The Signs101...
  2. A touchy subject

    A showroom is for showing things off, hence the name. People wanna see what things are and how they feel. Making the place into a do not do this kinda place is kinda self-defeating to the place. I've often said, people DO NOT read signs, notices or anything else..... that's why our job is to...

    Guy in the middle with strands of green hair.

    Yes, you'd know most of them or had heard of them, but Slappy would be better answering that one for ya. I knew them all, but that was 15 years ago and Al, isn't the only who has passed in that photo.
  5. Al Checca

    Yep, that's the front of our shop for one of the s101 mixers we held. Al was a great guy and would do anything for ya. He will be greatly missed.
  6. Coroplast Alternative

    For what it's worth................. this is from a website all about styrene
  7. Coroplast Alternative

    Judging by your profile, you're really not a sign shop, but a little help is needed. Other than Cor-X, there's nothing in the same price range as Cor-X is about the cheapest exterior grade sign substrate on the market. You want smooth, you'll need to step up in your costs. PVC would be your...
  8. Best Canvas that doesn't need Laminating

    Keep the printer you have for your aqueous needs and get a 54" something. If you go with 44" you'll be sorry the first time someone asks you for a 4' x 8' banner. Our roland is very good for banners and we don't bother wasting laminate on a banner. Banners are only meant to be used for a year...
  9. Best Canvas that doesn't need Laminating

    It's not the media, but the method. You aren't really setup to compete with the many printers which do this sort of thing.
  10. Question Lack of video DIY question

    Looking at your profile, it's kinda obvious why you wanna do this. Rather than asking a buncha people who use the machines and fix them on their own, why not ask the correct kinda lawyer and have him research and then you can proceed with your request. Not knowing the end results will not hold...
  11. Strange Problem! Vertical Stripes on ALL heads CMYK Roland VS 640

    I don't know the proper identification, but it seems like your inks are starving for a bit and not firing 100%.
  12. Problème d’initialisation de la oce Arizona 360gt

    I couldn't follow a single word on this one. You might get better/more help if you get a translator.
  13. Refurbishing a carved/routed sign

    With hdu, you'll have to be extra cautious, so as not to gouge things. Mine is redwood and sandblasted, so I have lotsa fins to deal with, but sanded wood is a lot easier. Mine is also gilded, but I told her, I' was only gonna use gold leaf paint. Otherwise, you must get the old gold out 100%...
  14. Refurbishing a carved/routed sign

    Doing one myself at the moment. The sign is about 15 years old and slightly smaller than yours. I quoted $ 1,500.00 but said if things go well, it might come down a little in price. The owners are old business & friends of mine. Is it wood or hdu ??
  15. News Reece Supply charging for deliveries

    Very.... and I mean very few people use credit cards here anymore. Our customers are either sent an invoice with all these charges itemized or if they are paying at the front counter, they receive an invoice immediately showing these items. No one is ever blindsided. In fact, our credit card...
  16. News Reece Supply charging for deliveries

    When you buy tires for your trucks or other vehicles, do you see all the hidden costs like balancing fees, certain taxes, disposal of old tires, delivery and other costs right upfront..... or do you see it once the invoice is given to you ?? Then you go to the guy and say..... what's this for...
  17. News Reece Supply charging for deliveries

    I don't state it upfront. It doesn't even appear in our quote. How many of you when you get your electric bill, gas bill, doctor bills and a slew of other invoices see small charges for things never mentioned upfront ?? It seems to be a thing of doing business these days. Is it slimy ?? I...
  18. News Reece Supply charging for deliveries

    Oh no, I line itemize it. Don't want anyone asking questions. I have about 8 different line items for added charges. They're under their own heading and I charge how I see fit.
  19. News Reece Supply charging for deliveries

    This is so normal in our area, I started doing it, too. They've been charging for deliveries at least 10 years around here. I think Harbor is the only one who doesn't do it.

    Hey, that whole thing was done with tongue in cheek.
