  1. Frosted film + fingerprints

    Just applied MacTac frosted vinyl to acrylic panels and am preparing to print on flatbed, but there are fingerprints in some places on frosted. Anyone know what is best way to clean off prints that won't damage frosted film? I am assuming a damp cloth - but want to make sure. And... oh...
  2. Foam sculpting

    And another fun project... I do quite a bit of specialty printing for race teams and am in need of someone who can make some small (14" - 16") dimensional hands for me. Same hand - just need 2 of them. Not a huge project, but I need some advice. If anyone knows someone around here that does...
  3. Hopsyn material

    Does anyone have any experience printing banners with HopSyn synthetic paper? I have a customer who has specified this stuff for a grocery store chain and it is a pain to get in small enough quantity.
  4. Font ID's - help yourself

    I am going to try not to be a smarta$$ based on the length of the post about "Attitudes around here" - but it befuddles me how folks that are supposed to be designers can't identify some pretty common fonts - so I am suggesting that everyone buy the Precision Type Font Reference book. I have...

  6. Blizzard

    Does anyone else out there have a Mutoh Blizzard 65? I have a brand new one and when it prints - its a screamer at about 300 ft. per hour at high quality. When it prints... My issue is that recently with every type of media I am running - the head is hitting the material pretty...
  7. Vendor Agreement

    Have a new customer that requires the signing of a Vendor Agreement which in essence is a sort of legal guarantee that I won"t go after their accounts and if i do there are repurcussions. I understand why they think they need this - but do I need this as well. Here's my point - if i sign this...
  8. Changebable dates on banners

    Yeah... I just got a request for some 18' long banners that the customer wants to have the ability to change the date each year and their brilliant idea is to sew in a clear vinyl "pocket" and slide in the new dates with 2mm PVC each year. Banners only stay up for 10 days each year. Trying...
  9. Edge or similar thermal output for backlit

    I am an inkjet guy and don't have any experience with thermal type printers and am wondering if you can use thermal output for a backlit application. Basically - is the output (black) opaque enough to block light like a duratrans will? I have a small face-mounted backlit that is black only...
  10. Banner stand

    Has anyone ever heard of a banner stand called "Scroll Space"? Its not a scrolling banner stand - thats just the name. I have done Google searches and looked at all the major producers/distributors of banner stands and no one has one even close to this thing. I am assuming its Chinese that...

  14. Flatbeds and Fingerprints

    Was wondering if anyone would find value in a poll requesting what all the flatbed owners are doing about fingerprints and smudges on various board media? I know the alcohol regimen works for some - and I use it most of the time either as a 50/50 dilute or straight up 99%, but even still, we...

  16. Shop management software

    Spent about an hour in the booth at SGIA and it seems pretty good, but looking for real world feedback on Shopworks software for estimating/accounting/inventory/ etc. Has anybody seen or is anyone using this software? How does it compare to the usual suspects of Estimate/Cyrious/etc.? Thanks...
  17. Yet another request for font help!

    It embarasses me to ask this since I used to be really good at font identification in the early days of postscript - now there are too many to recognize! I believe this is a SignDNA or Letterhead font - but am not sure. Thanks in advance for the id... Sean
  18. Backlits

    Am looking for opinions on inkjet printable media for backlits. Can print aqueous with a Canon imageProGraf or solvent with an HP 9000. Caveat - will need to face mount to back of acrylic (image will face forward) - which leads to next question - which brand of optically clear adhesive has...

  20. Adhesion promoters

    Was just curious what brands of adhesion promoters are out there, what you guys are using and how much it adds to the cycle time of a job? So far I have found Bond Aid and Uvijet from Fuji. I was on some suppliers website a few days ago and they had about 6 or 7 listed, but of course, I now...
