  1. Question how long before fading?

    depends on the sun exposure. in the northern hemisphere, south facing signage will get significantly less longevity out of the color. a UV resistant laminate helps bigtime, but reds&yellows will be the first to go. unlaminated, you may get two years out of it, but laminated you'll usually get...
  2. Question Avery 1060 Laminate on Outdoor signs?

    1060 should be just fine, but i'm more of a satin>luster>matte>gloss kinda guy. grimco's wrapcast overlam is half the price, highly recommend. we use it on everything we put outdoors that intents to last more than a cpl years.
  3. Fantasy Football

    last time was $50 which seemed grievous enough. started spamming PMs from league's past, but can always try sending invite emails to the league via yahoo in case some don't check these forums as regularly plenty of time for us to declare roster & draft. I think the league ultimately fell apart...

  5. Fingers crossed

    its always that "one thing" been battling gremlins under the hood forever since tackling my jv3 over a decade ago, then the hp26500, and now onto my 20yo multicam3000's
  6. Fantasy Football

    2014 came down to a 6man, bleh. would be cooooler if we managed 8-12 for the record..... the team with Aaron Rodgers took home the trophy
  7. Printing translucent graphics

    print clear, and layer a white trans print on top. edited to add: if your substrate is white trans, then you already have a diffuser, so applying a clear print to both sides (backside printed mirror'd) would be ideal unless of course it is impossible with certain awning materials
  8. Fantasy Football

    can't remember the last time I zombie'd a thread, if ever BUT figure it is worth a shot here! Signs101 league has been inactive since the 2014 season. Count me in if anyone tryna rally the troops!
  9. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    verdict is in! NOT GUILTY! they still stuck her with OWI, one year probation.
  10. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    honestly, Officer Kelly Dever would be my pick of the bunch if I was going to have a crush on anyone in this trial. ...i could even overlook the fact that she changed her story to protect the PD, and got a transfer with a $80k pay raise.
  11. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    after two years of following these trials, there's one thing for certain: i officially hate boston accents.
  12. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    my theory has always been the deceased confronting the guy sweating his gf, getting punched in the face, and the dog attacked causing him to fall down the basement stairs and conk his head on the workout equipment. cleanup/coverup ensues, and they wanted to plant his body in the snow for the...
  13. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    the first trial was a bit more exhausting, as the defense tried proving 3rd party culprit ....which I believe they did, but so much "he said, she said" drama it muddied the waters with too much info. this time around, they simply chose to prove that the CW's case was physically impossible and...
  14. Rattle can paint on tapcons?

    we do this all the time. stab an array of them into a piece of scrap foamboard and paint all at once. Bring some with for install to touch-up any scratches from your toolbit, spraying into the captop and using a Qtip/Brush to apply the paint.
  15. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    closing arguments today. Alan Jackson has got to be the best lawyer in the country, he has absolutely destroyed the CW's case no collision, not guilty. sad thing is, that the actual murderers will go free (pending FBI followup, whom have also been investigating this) and it took over a million...
  16. Wall Vinyl recommendation

    high tension on your laminate feed could also cause this sort of curling, but ij35 doesn't contour that pebbly texture so the perimeter of your letters will be barely holding-onto the highpoints of the surface finish. +1 to suggested arlon slx. personally, i use use grimco's briteline...
  17. Need Help Color shifted mid print and can’t get it back

    what printer? looks like ink starvation to me. sometimes the carts say they have more ink than they actually do, and i've pulled it out to shake & its bone dry. another ink starvation of mine way on my old mimaki, and the capping station wasn't refreshing ink-siphon of the lines/heads due to...
  18. AccuBend Freedom and Channel Letters - Tips?

    SDS is pretty awesome. ...but there's some merit in having three accubends for the price of one
  19. Vertical Inch Channel Letter Pricing?

    thinking on it some more, just figure out the most difficult letter to produce and use that as your price point. ...then "sharpen your pencil" if you're trying to be more competitive on a quote.
