So I have some panels to make... probably will be flatbed to ACS... and i am wondering if anyone has come up with a rigid clear plastic panel that could simply be sandwiched over the ACS (with edge moldings) to provide long-term outdoor UV resistance. This could be pretty thick if it has good...

I need a couple of 1 sided sign cans with lighting to hang in some windows. They need to be about 10" tall by 40" wide. Snap frames with petg lenses would be OK. My old "go to's" went & gone. Who makes these now? Any help appreciated.

So we are doing a 1 sided brushed Aluminum 1/8" thick ACS sign with raised letters. Sign is a 3' x 8' oval. Client needs us to add an inline (like 1/4" or 1/8") about an inch in from the outer edge of the oval. We are thinking that we could rout away the aluminum to leave the black core...

I am usually only a few clicks behind the typo-demons on this site, but this one has me totally stumped. it seems so simple, like I have seen it a million times, but I am not computing! Any help will be much appreciated. Both the white letters and the black--- if you know. Thanks John

Hi everybody- Just looking for some tips as we are looking at a bunch of 6' circumference columns that need to be painted and lettered... or wrapped. It would be way easier and cost-effective to apply vinyl to the painted surface (just a 1' x 7' vertical word on a solid color)... but how do I...

Just got a RFP for a Dept. Ag construction sign, and if we get the job we will have the pleasure of not only cutting 45, prez of US... but also Sonny Perdue, Sec of AG. So much winning! Anyway--- they want standard plywood 4 x 8 (Marine Grade or equiv) and this sucker has 600 characters and a...

Does anyone have a good source for decorative installation hardware for signs? I love the Sign Bracket Store, but how about for smaller aluminum, iron and steel pieces with scrollwork? Is there a catalog or online source?

I saw something recently... might have been a new plexiglas finish or formulation that would allow it to be flatbed printed without warping or causing the problems it has been causing. Wondering if anyone has tried or is using this tech, and if they are doing outsourcing. I have some clients...

Hi - I hope somebody has a trick up their sleeve for me. I needed to change the dates on a mesh banner (do not know where it was produced) so I sprayed on some Krylon fusion to block out the old date (just a light mist) and it just will not dry! Been almost a week now... ANYBODY! What can I...

Hi Everybody- I need someone to print our wallpaper jobs, and I need it done at a price I can resell with a profit. Any recommendations? I usually have dreamscape suede printed with latex, and unless that has gone up in price a whole lot, I am getting some incredibly high quotes. Right now I...

I am hoping that someone can help me with a project coming up. Going to cut stencils of 2" san serif font, then paint gloss black through the stencils onto glass doors. The lettering needs to be very glossy and very very thin (to match some existing doors nearby) and I am very worried about...

THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN ALREADY DISCUSSED, BUT I AM JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE SIMPLY SHIPS OFF T-SHIRT ART AND GETS THEM PRINTED UP LIKE BANNERS???? I always say no... but I could use some extra income if there is a reliable short-run printer that will allow me to do 2-3X markup, without having...

I am told that i can use the 3M 480C to do a building exterior (wood & concrete) and that it will last. Anybody have any experience with this? Also, is there a cheaper approach to getting photos onto exterior wall and making them last a long time. I am working with a photographer who we do...

I need to install some 6 foot wide by about 5 foot tall window perfs. They are not laminated, and bleed on all sides. Also 6 foot by 2 foot perfs almost on the ground. Best way? Wet or Dry? What kind of squeegee? There are 4 of each. What to charge for the installation? Any help would be...

My 5500ps wont initialize... something about printhead cleaner path. Will get tech here, but they are losing interest in it. What are others buying to replace the 5500s? I would like something similar, so I can continue doing what I am doing. Any advice? Thanks

Anyone know of a nice simple font that will look like neon tubing. Don't need the fx or gradients, just the basic lettering. Something like the attached

Years ago, we used to buy outdoor sign luminaires, which used 4' HO tubes and wired to a remote ballast. These were lightweight and sealed, so they could rotate on up to 2' long cantilever rods. Now, I need something just like this, but using LEDs of course... and am having NO LUCK finding...

OK- Probably been asked and answered already... but I cannot find where (?) I am always needing UV cured dibond/acs printed pieces... but not enough to buy myself a flatbed. I can get sintra and aluminum and other stuff flatbed printed as small one-offs, but having a hard time getting dibond...

Hi Everybody- I am hoping that someone has been here before and can offer me some advice. Good client moved into abandoned Blockbusters, pizza huts, etc and built mini-hospital emergency rooms. Lots of them. Unfortunately, they were in such a rush to get these built that they laid studwall...

OK, I know this is boring, but I am wondering if anyone has come up with a "better way" to approach replacement of a normal say 4' x 10' pan face in a standard illuminated cabinet? I can get a white lexan face delivered to my shop, but is there someone digitally printing before extruding, or...
