  1. Suppliers for Outside Digital Menu Boards

    We typically flatbed print onto white acrylic. My concern with changeable inserts is dirt and water will get in there. I tell customers they need to try to limit their updates to once a year or so to get it done at 1 time. Any kind of LED digital type sign is going to be way expensive.
  2. Question source for awning material

    Illuminated Image is a good wholesale source for awnings. For a one off project, I don't think it's worth the effort to learn to do it yourself. Guess it depends how ambitious you are
  3. Matthews Paint

    Do you have a Matthew's swatch book? Just pick a metallic silver that's close and get a custom quart
  4. Taking the next step in printers...

    I stand corrected. I was sure our rep had said the EX model only helped with white ink printing. It may depend some on what inks are configured. For me, the biggest issue is the paltry support for Onyx. We did have custom profiles built for Onyx, so we only use Rasterlink when we absolutely...
  5. Taking the next step in printers...

    I have the original 2513. The "2x speed" the EX offers is for white ink printing. AFAIK, 4c printing is NOT any faster on the EX (unless possibly if you forgo white ink). The biggest drawback to the Mimaki, IMO, is the RIP (Rasterlink). Mimaki does not play well with Onyx (not at all with...
  6. Question Zund

    So your problem is with Rasterlink? If that is the case, there is no option AFAIK. Rasterlink is a sorry excuse for a RIP. You will need Onyx to do print to cut on a Zund.
  7. Taking the next step in printers...

    I would recommend steering clear of Mimaki for a flatbed printer. We have one and it is great, but we are low volume (typically print 2-3 boards a day). You sound high volume, it likely will not have enough speed for you. Mimaki is also not friendly with Onyx, if that is a concern. A...
  8. I need some HIP reflective

    Try Hall Signs or Grimco
  9. Flex face clips

    Rocco - thank you SO MUCH! I contacted Signcomp and they do carry them. Thank you for the offer. My installer is concerned these are going to strip out, so he wants new ones. They sign is very high up and he doesn't want to mess around with the old clips if they give him problems.
  10. Flex face clips

    Bump.....anyone? Is this something totally custom?
  11. Flex face clips

    I am familiar with 3M and Signcomp clips for flex faces, but I do not recognize this type. We need to replace some worn ones. TIA
  12. Adobe Illustrator 24.3 (CC 2020) Update

    I agree the Align to Glyph Bounds is very helpful. That and the "cap height" font height setting will be very useful as well. Been wanting all of these features for many years.
  13. Adobe Illustrator 24.3 (CC 2020) Update

    Great googly moogly, they finally added vertical text alignment. Woot, woot!
  14. Need 60" Oracal 8510

    I don't see that available in 60inch. Fellers sells General Formulations etch 60in wide by the yard.
  15. Is your bucket truck really broken.........?

    I believe it. Last spring ALL THREE of our bucket trucks were in the shop at 1 time. We really only need 2 trucks, but I bought an extra one as a spare. That didn't work out so well.
  16. Roll to roll UV printer

    We bought the UCJV300-160 late last year along with the 4x8 flatbed. We owned a few UV flatbeds before, so we were not new to UV technology. They are really easy to maintain, phenomenal print quality, almost never miss any nozzles, very durable, scratch-resistant ink. And the price was very...
  17. Velvet textured polycarbonate decals

    This is very interesting. We have equipment (not an Edge) to print them in-house, but the die cut adhesive (or "selective mask") is what stumped me. The video doesn't really go into detail on how that part works. So your actual cut needs to line up exactly with the mask for the clear windows...
  18. Velvet textured polycarbonate decals

    Thank you Tammie! I have sent them a quote request.
  19. Velvet textured polycarbonate decals

    I am looking for velvet textured polycarbonate decals, similar to the ones Gill Studios sells but this project requires a die cut adhesive - meaning the adhesive will not cover the entire back side. This is required because it covers over an LED light. I do have McLoone as a source, but was...
