  1. What? In order for me to do some work for you, you want to have the option to audit my business expenses of the job!

    I'm always surprised how many customers don't check out our facility, especially on bigger projects.
  2. Recent problems with Signs365

    Last week we ordered some perf prints and I didn't get one of them. We did get someone else's oddly worded stickers. They sent out a replacement for the missing print.
  3. Rant Vector drawing,,,Have we gone back 40 years?

    I had whatever version of Adobe Acrobat came with CS6. We recently decided to move to the Adobe Cloud software and that version of Acrobat is a huge step back from the version I had. I absolutely hate it.
  4. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    I'm going to go back to the old wall test method with the fish scale using some products we have on-hand and see if any of them are going to at least stick initially. From there I'll put up a test print and see how it looks after a couple of weeks. Luckily the initial installation looks mostly...
  5. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    FYI for others that might come across this thread, I was about to pull the trigger on trying some PhotoTex, but found this on their website: CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL ON WALLS PAINTED WITH THE PROMAR 200/400 ZERO VOC PAINT.
  6. Need Help Mimaki UCJV300-160 Headstrike issue

    I stopped trying to tape the prints to the take up reel when I'm doing a contour cut. Just let it pile on the floor. Before that I had it jam up bad and it bent the media cut-off knife holder.
  7. Colorcore, anyone use it?

    We've used quite a bit. Never had a problem with it. I don't have any of the color you need. We mostly use tan-green-tan.
  8. Need Help Mimaki UCJV300-160 Headstrike issue

    I run some "semi-rigid" vinyl thru ours and found that it works best setting the vacuum to strong.
  9. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    I'm bumping this thread because we recently ran into this issue with the Sherwin Williams paint. We used General Formulations 226HTR and it's not sticking well. It's a high-tach product specifically for wall applications. Anyone find a product that sticks to the Sherwin Williams Promar 200...
  10. Do you make/improve designs for customers or only take 100% ready to print files ?

    If it needs a lot of work, we charge but we try to keep the expense minimal. If it's something simple like a specific font, I'll just do it.
  11. 3' x 12' Acrylic sign panel for a lighted sign

    I would use .150 white polycarbonate plastic. Comes off a roll so length isn't an issue. They are fixed widths, so you're gonna end up with some drop. Sometimes I order from a width much bigger than needed to have usable drop.
  12. Street pole banner disasters?

    Yeah, they have to light poles designed for the banners. Around here most of the street lights are owned by the utility company and leased by the municipality so you gotta have permission from a couple of sources.
  13. Tired of incompetence...................................................................

    I feel like I see a lot more typos in news articles and books than I used to. Seems to be a general decline IMO.
  14. Highlight from ISA

    Haha, I thought the same about no one from here going. I commented to my wife there was no discussion about it on S101. I didn't really notice that Mexican BBQ place until we were headed out Friday. I saw they had chorizo breakfast burritos I wish I had seen sooner. We saved money by only...
  15. Highlight from ISA

    This was our first time staying in Vegas in addition to being our first ISA. Your statement sums up Vegas perfectly. We were telling someone about the price of the food and they said something about how at least it was good, and we were like um no, not really. I was really surprised by the...
  16. Anyone have this request...................................................... ??

    I think based on the fasteners you can see the intent was to unscrew the dividers to pull the panels. I'll bet the bent pieces are from the screws vibrating out in the wind. Although I don't quite understand what's keeping those panels in the sign with those pieces bent out. That sign looks...
  17. Installing 14ft banner on square posts

    No way I'd want to put a bunch of screw holes in the steel structure. Put extra grommets in the ends of the banner and lace rope around the pole thru the grommets. Looks like you could throw a line over each end of the horizontal bars holding the little display keeping the lines to the outside...
