  1. Rust-oleum as a Spray Laminate?

    I read elsewhere (by an experienced sign maker) that the following product will work just as well as Frog Juice or ClearShield? The topic was about eco-solvent prints on flat signs for signmakers without room for a laminator. Does anyone use this or know someone that does and can back up his...
  2. Complete Easy Install Sign Kits

    Does anyone know the best company to purchase complete ready-to-install sign kits. As I no longer work at a sign shop that offers installs (I now only design and make sign panels) I want to be able to purchase a kit that can be presented to the customer who wishes to install the sign...
  3. Roland XJ - linear encoder sensor?

    Hey guys, My Roland XJ-740 is misreading the media width. No matter how wide the media is, it's telling me it's the full printer width. I read online that it was probably due to a dirty linear encoder. I clean this strip gently every few weeks and it stays very clean, just a little dust...

    I've got a customer that has used another company that is now gone and out of business, and they want me to perfectly match a past font that was used. I have nobody to call and ask so I figured I'd challenge you expert. Similar to Old English but not the same as the generic one.
  9. UV ink for Boat Decals

    Since UV ink (from my vuteK) is really tough and thick, do you think it would stand up on a boat as a decal without laminate. Not a full boat wrap where it's gonna get hit alot, but up on the side where it's just gonna get beat with water and waves.

    So, I'm using Illustrator (newbie) and I'm having to match a color. The customer provided me with these color numbers to print and match by. When I put in the given CMYK, it prints pretty well but is not close enough to a perfect match. So then I type in the given RGB, and I notice that...
