  2. Discussion STS inks. Anyone have experience with them?

    I've got a vendor in our immediate area who wants to earn our business and has been able to match or beat some current prices on our media and inks. They can also match our current prices on non-OEM inks but we're currently using Bordeaux ink and have had good results as they were recommended on...
  3. Touching up prints.

    Every once in a great while I'll pull a print off the printer and I'll notice a light or white spot in the middle of a field of color where a speck of dust obstructed the print head. I'm just curious, how many of you attempt to touch up such things and if so, what do you use? I like the fact...
  4. Duratex

    I got an email this morning about Duratex, a new line of banner, adhesive vinyl, and rigid substrate now available through Grimco. Does anyone have the scoop on any of these products? The ad refers to them as 'value' products so I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
  5. Sale on Affinity Designer

    I just wanted to give a head's up to anyone interested in trying out Affinity Designer vector design software that they are having a 20% off sale going on today. You can pick up Affinity Designer for $39.99. I've seen and heard so many great things about this software, we decided to buy it and...
  6. Oh, for the love of god...

    Can anyone help me identify these two fonts? I have a customer supplied 'logo' that I have to typeset for vector output and I'm turning up nothing on these. Thanks so much for any help.
  7. Design proof color issues.

    We've been in business about 8 years now and in that time we've never had problems with customers saying that their finished product didn't match the colors on their design proof...until now. Two weeks ago, I sent a proof over to a customer for some business cards with a background that is...
  8. Ugly font ID, please...

    I'm having no luck with this one at all. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.
  9. The elusive 24" x 30" realty sign frame

    Does anyone here have a good wholesale source for these? I only need one frame and none of our suppliers carry this size, that I can see. I also looked through a few pages of searches on this forum and to my surprise couldn't find another thread about these. I need a black powder coated realty...
  10. Discussion Where does one draw the line between graphics and a wrap?

    We've got a regular customer, which is a small local cable company, that wants us to do some new print and cut graphics on a couple of new vans. Well, they wanted partial wraps at first and I just threw together a rough wrap concept design (the design with the full-color family image) and gave...
  11. Question Signs365 fabric banners. Impressions?

    I've got a customer that is looking for some fabric banners for trade shows/conventions. I know Signs 365 has this option and we've ordered a fabric banner once in the past, but it was a few years ago and it was pretty basic with sewing, but no grommets or pole pockets. This customer is most...
  12. What's the widest magnetic sheeting available?

    I have a customer who is requesting some reflective magnetic signs that would be around 48" x 36". Does anyone manufacture magnetic sheeting as wide as 36" or larger? All of our suppliers only carry the standard 24-25" material. And while I'm at it, has anyone here had any experience applying...
  13. Any idea who manuafctures/distributes these wayfinding sign frames?

    Does anyone know who might be a supplier/manufacturer of the wayfinding sign frame in the attached photo? Thanks in advance for any help.
  14. Chrome football helmet decals

    We have a customer looking to order enough orange chrome football helmet decals to do sixty helmets, so this could potentially be a nice job for us and I'd like to put my best foot forward going into this, but chrome helmet decals are something we've never done. We stock Convex chrome, which...
  15. Need supplier for thin VHB tape

    I'm looking to buy some of the thin VHB tape like the stuff that Gemini uses for interior wall mounted acrylic. The VHB we typically use is 45 mil, and Grimco only carries 45 mil and 40 mil thicknesses. Does anyone know who might carry the thinner stuff? The VHB that Gemini uses appears to be...
  16. Suggestions Best substrate for ballpark fences.

    I'm just curious what the majority of you would recommend to use for signs that would be mounted to high school ball diamond chain link fences. My first thought was 1/8" ACM panels, but I'm afraid flying balls would dent the crap out of them, but I also tend to think that .080" aluminum sheets...
  17. Just In Something handy...

    I had a little free time and decided to work up a nice 9" x 12" decal that can go on a clipboard cover, or a sheet of polystyrene that can be tucked away on your clipboard, or just kept in various locations around the shop. This might be handy for site surveys or when speaking with new customers...
  18. Suggestions Seeking recommendations for automotive vector clipart?

    Being a sign and screen printing shop, we design a fair number of car show t-shirts throughout the year. Most of these are small town shows that don't have big design budgets. We have the Vector Art Mega Collection, Ultimate Hot Rod Art, and most of the Action Illustrated collection, as well as...
  19. Signs 365's website

    Signs 365's website used to be so easy to use, which was one of the great things we liked about it. I could upload a file and place an order in less than 60 seconds in most cases. We don't really use them much anymore, but they are still our go to for digital yard signs and banners over 4 feet...
  20. Print on inside of extruded face

    We had a customer stop by today with a shallow extruded sign panel that had the graphic applied to the inside of the panel. How the manufacturer printed the graphic and applied it to the face has me completely stumped. The perimeter of the face appeared to be white polycarbonate or acrylic (or...
