  1. Oracal 970RA 030 Dark Red

    Orafol replied and said, " Hello Gary, Thank you for your email. This product comes from our German facility; unfortunately, they are facing many of the same procurement situations we are in the states. We have orders with them for more products; however, I do not have a time...
  2. Oracal 970RA 030 Dark Red

    Both Orafol US and Orafol Canada are out. Expected availability time is mid to end of March. I wish there was a way to see online which distributor had this item in stock. It’s like looking for a needle in the haystack. Called Fellers, Metro Restyling, Grimco. Not looking good. And it’s a...
  3. Oracal 970RA 030 Dark Red

    Hello everyone. This Oracal 970RA Gloss 030 Dark Red is a very good match that the client accepted. I'm looking for 25-30 yards. I've called many places and no one has any stock, doesn't mean none is available. I can buy from the US and Canada. Would anyone know if their vendor would be...
  4. Switching from thermal to inkjet?

    I still have my Gerber Edge LE. Only use it for repeat work that was done with it. Purchased it in 1998 and it still runs beautifully. Consumables are expensive compared to wide format inkjet printing. When I printed my first 4x8 on my wide format, it just blew me away as to how little time...
  5. Summa S2T160 crop marks.

    Hello. Today I printed some lettering then proceeded to cut them. There are 7 crop marks per side of the graphic/lettering. I used OPOS paneling because of it's accuracy (4 marks). After not finding the 3rd mark for a reason I know, I went to restart the job from the beginning. But now what...
  6. Subdued black and gray

    I’m sure it’s gray scale leaning more to a dark grey.

    30 yrs ago there was a clear as water glue called Resin Bond.
  9. Mimaki UCJV 54" Printer

    Stand Alone printer/cutters are not for high volume work. Very time consuming and slow.

  12. Swanson Backer on Crezon board

    I ended up calling the company and they said the backing paper is a moisture barrier to protect it from bowing. And it’s not paintable

    And make sure cutting default is set to Database.
  14. Swanson Backer on Crezon board

    I am making a post panel sign using White pre finished Crezon one side. The other side has a Swanson Backer paper. My question is should I prime and paint this side or is the Swanson Back exterior ready as is? Asking because I normally buy the two sided White pre finished product. Thank you...
  15. Discussion Slowing down or staying busy?

    I’d say overwhelmed. Need to do a good cleaning in the shop then I’d have more room to work and get things done faster!
  16. Discussion How do you stay organized?

    I use Sign Tracker to organize jobs and make quotes. Been two yrs now using it. I like it and the support is great!
  17. CG-130 SRII

    You need a 60 deg blade and start at maybe 150 and keep increasing by 5-10 units until the cut suits you.
  18. Are you kidding me?

    It’s your business. You owe no favours to no one and you need to make a profit to continue to stay open so you can still be able to make their signs. If they buy 22% less then they have nothing to complain about.
  19. I have a trick for removing Sealitpen

    Cosmoline is what I use. And just wipe it clean. Rapid Remover needs to be removed with water.
  20. Opinion Need A New Heat Gun

    I used the Porter Cable and they didn’t last. Cheaper no brand guns lasted longer. Now I use a cordless Milwaukee which is great! And I bought two Steinel heat guns. With the digital readout and variable speed fan and heat. Also bought the temp reader that snaps on the top so I know what...
