  1. Hardware for mounting signs to round pole

    Anyone know of a source to get this hardware? Grimco is out of stock.
  2. Permit or pass?

    Around here (central IL), anything outside of city limits falls in the jurisdiction of the county. Some small towns also don’t handle permits, and it gets taken care of by the county.
  3. Ventilating an enclosed LED message center

    I like this, thermostat would prevent it from running unnecessarily too.
  4. Rasterlink - digital cutter marks

    I'm not aware of a plugin from Multicam, but I will look into that.
  5. Rasterlink - digital cutter marks

    Hey Rasterlink users - is there a way to have Rasterlink put digital cutter marks on prints? We have a Multicam cutter. We do this in Onyx, but I don't see a way with RL.
  6. Ventilating an enclosed LED message center

    We are building a monument sign that will have an LED message center as part of the sign, so it will be completely enclosed. I know we need to ventilate it, but does anyone have any recommendations or experience to share about how to go about doing this exactly? We have done the ventilation...
  7. Back-ordered materials- what are you having trouble finding?

    Wensco has this available
  8. shipping issues

    UPS just returned us 3 retractable banners that we shipped out in December of 2019. They said the addressee moved. They were shipped 3rd party billing, but I have no doubt UPS charged for the return delivery.
  9. 40 year old spec... what exactly is Royal Blue?

    These specs are boilerplate verbiage for lots of construction projects. I typically will ask if we can substitute ACM for the 3/4" MDO. One customer insists on using 3/4" MDO. Whatever, I don't care, they are paying the bill. All get vinyl prints, I don't even ask. Nobody is expecting a...
  10. Font Management Software

    Font Expert looks OK if you are a 1-man band. I used FontAgent Pro for a number of years and it worked great. Very lightweight, easy to use. They abandoned the Windows platform for years, so there was no auto-activation support. So I reluctantly switched to Extensis Suitcase (I still think...
  11. How do you categorize and/or organized your samples?

    I agree with others that a good color managed workflow is ideal. Could you fold it and use a standard filing cabinet? We do a number of architectural signs that have a lot of pieces to them. We just store them in an upright metal cabinet. It’s not ideal, but it’s nice to refer back for reorders...
  12. CNC cutting copper

    Any time you are purchasing metal off a website, you are paying too much. I would recommend trying local metal suppliers for better pricing.
  13. Printed tablecloths supplier?

    WS Displays Showdown Displays Orbus
  14. Back-ordered materials- what are you having trouble finding?

    Have you tried major plastics companies like Laird or Polymershapes for PVC?
  15. Back-ordered materials- what are you having trouble finding?

    I'm not getting this.....you mean .030? I can buy 100 rolls from Grimco right now and get it in 3 days.
  16. Day night vinyl

    One of our wholesalers told us there is a national shortage. If you can find white, you could paint it with Matthews black. We do that for custom colors.
  17. New JFX-200 2513 owner here

    I’m surprised you guys need primer at all. We have a primer channel, but never use it. We use the 150 inks and they seem to adhere to all materials very well, including white ink
  18. What is everyones experience with Grimco

    Website errors? I’ve never had a problem with that. However, lately, Grimco seems to be backordered of almost everything
  19. Anyone else hate oracal 3751RA?

    +1 to this 3951 was awful, too much initial tack 3751 failed to adhere well enough, several wraps failed and ended up losing a customer Switched to Avery 1105, never a problem Call Fellers and see if they have 1105
  20. Volume political yard signs

    Political signs are pretty cutthroat. Coro might be too expensive. Gill or Stouse does silkscreened outdoor poster board signs that are less expensive.
