  1. Online Data Error

    As soon as I turn on my Edge (Original Edge 2nd model , not trunnion, running Gerber Omega 5) I get an "Online Data Error".

    I have some similar but no matches. Font ids didn't come up with it either (probably due to the poor quality) Thanks
  3. Poster Printer

    I am considering switching from the HP Aqueous printers (5000ps & Z6100ps) we have been using for many years to do paper signs. The cost of consumables is going up so I was thinking of looking at other machines. If you were picking a printer with these parameters what would it be 1. Low cost per...

  5. HP Z6100Pps UV Inks

    I've been using Lexjet UV ink refills for my HP Z6100. They're discontinueing them (thanks to HPs pressure according to the rep). Has anyone had any luck with any aftermarket ink supplier for this machine? I've had such good results with the Lexjet ink and had some real nightmares trying generic...
  6. Thought it was simple

    I have to match this for some additional text. looked through all my fonts and tried Identifont without any luck. Note the down strokes on the M curve slightly. Maybe it's a combination of some different fonts, or customized? Thanks

  8. Bathroom Occupied Signs

    I'm looking for "Bathroom Occupied" signs, but not just one of those sliders. This has to work like a PortaLet sign where the sign shows "occupied" when someone is actually inside. But it's for a standard interior door. Any sources? Thanks
  9. Retracable Window Shade Style

    Does anyone know a source for a retactable banner holder that could be hung on a wall like a window shade? I'm looking for somthing 5 or 6 feet wide. I looked at a few suppliers I use for floor stands and don'ts see anything like that. Thanks
  10. Window Perf as Sun Block

    I haven't done a lot of window perf so if the answers are obvious I apologize in advance. First: I have a client that has large showroom windows that are baking the employees sitting near them. They want to do large window perf prints to cover them. Is window perf effective as a sunblock? I...
  11. Adhesive for Metal Letter Install On Exterior Tile Wall

    I am quoting a job for 14" brushed metal finish numbers, either cast or fabricated, not flat. The exterior wall they are going on is large Italian tiles, they look and feel like smooth stone, but are only a 1/4" thick. I would rather not drill in this stuff, but is there and adhesive that could...
  12. Letterville?

    I know a few other members here visit the Letterville website occasionally. the last few times I've tried to visit it was down and now it's blocked by my virus software as infected. Is it still operational and just down tempo rarily?
  13. Clear over old painting

    We're restoring an old carved sign that has a 2'x3' oval panel with a landscape painted on it. It is is surprisingly good shape considering how beat the rest of the sign is. So we have cleaned it and will reuse it. I want to clear over it, both to brighten it and protect it. I don't know what...

    I designed it 20 years ago, but I can't find the original file and I'm so brain dead I can't come up with the font. Any help would eb appreciated
  15. Gerber Envision 375 Z Axis Encoder Fail

    Our trusty workhorse Envision 375 plotter just died. I'm getting a "Z axis encoder fail" message. Tried a search for solutions. One post said to inspect the encoder, but I don't even know where or which it is. Is it an encoder strip like on a wide foremat printer? I couldn't find a parts...

  17. Vandal Resistant Carved Sign Material

    I have a bid to get out tomorrow to replace some existing carved signs we did years ago. Some will be patched, repainted & reinstalled. But there is one that is 15lb HDU mounted low on a brick wall. It has been severely abused. It's been whached with sticks, hit with rocks, scratched with...
  18. Onsite Silk Screening Poughkeepsie Area

    I have a friend whose client is looking to have some silkscreening done on interior wood walls of a school logo. I believe this is a private prep school so the budget is probably there for it.

  19. Importing PDF problems

    I have a designer working on a Mac using Adobe sending me a pdf file. When I import it into Corel5 it says fonts are missing and substitutes the closest fonts, OK that is normal. The guy insists he shouldn't have to convert fonts to outlines when using a pdf, maybe not, I don't know. But there...
