  1. IJ175 vs. IJ180

    We produce a lot of outdoor signs and some print and cut vehicle decals, but not wraps. We want to move away from Orajet 3951RA and move into 3M IJ175 or IJ180. This material will be used for mostly (70-80% of the time) long-term outdoor signage, such as aluminum panels. The IJ175 comes in...
  2. Looking for pole banner supplier.

    We're looking for a wholesale trade printer that does two-sided pole banners with full-bleed images. We currently use Signs365 and while they can do white or solid colors on the pockets, they cannot do full-bleed graphics. Can anyone refer us to a company that can print them with full-bleed...
  3. Need adhesive ideas for foam PVC

    I have a customer that is looking to have us replace some foam PVC signage for a motel that they are in the process of fixing up. The Motel 6 sign is 1/8" PVC mounted onto a solid, flat surface, which is the fixture that you can see a portion of in the photo. It appears the original Motel 6 sign...
  4. Help with font

    I'm not sure if this is an outline font, or if the outline was added but I'm striking out left and right trying to identify it. Does anyone know what this font might be? Thanks for any help.
  5. Oh, I really went and did it now! In serious need of help or suggestions.

    I did a Gemini GemLeaf installation for a local CPA in early 2018. This month they moved into a new office which has all been newly remodeled. After weighing whether or nor removal and relocation was possible, I worked up a quote and away I went removing the old letters with plans to relocate...
  6. Timpte grain hopper

    Has anyone here had any experience applying decals onto a Timpte grain hopper like the one shown? We have a customer that would like a 48" x 23" logo applied to both sides of the trailer. The material would be 3M 1080/2080 white aluminum metallic with a full-color contour cut print so I'd be...
  7. Stop signs with louvers

    Our local city government is looking to replace a stop sign that was stolen. Unfortunately, the stolen sign had louvers that block the visibility of the sign to traffic from other directions. I called Grimco and two other traffic sign suppliers and they don't carry these. Does anyone here know...
  8. Well, it's finally happening...

    Let me just start off by saying we don't do wraps. We do some partial wraps and some larger print and cut graphics but that's it. So, we have a customer who is not only a good customer but they also own the property that we rent to run our business out of. We have developed a great...
  9. Ugh....WHY!?!?!

    I ordered 118 12" x 6" x .080" pre-painted sign blanks for some parking lot signs that will have a number and letter combination applied in 4" tall blue vinyl letters. This should be a pretty easy straightforward job. Then I saw the blanks Grimco sent me. Apparently, they must be CNC machining...
  10. Alternatives to backlit panel?

    One of our local towns just purchased a building formerly owned by a bank that has an 8' x 8' double sided backlit sign on a post. Currently, each side of the box has two flat polycarbonate panels with a seam that I'm guessing either has interlocking letter rails or a strip of polycarbonate...
  11. Fiberglass sign manufacturer wanted

    I've got a lead on some fiberglass signs that may pan out from a company called Accuform but I'm looking for any other leads that are available, if possible. A customer is requesting some 8" x 4" fiberglass signs, approximately 150 of them, each with a different letter/number on it. These...
  12. Dry Erase Magnetics

    I am looking for some recommendations if anyone can offer any, for some dry erase magnetic signs. The customer brought in some that they are already using with great success and would like something similar to these, if possible. The only thing that I thought was odd, is that I'm only finding 2...
  13. Need Help Need help identifying this one

    One of our clients needs a bunch of PVC signs with vinyl lettering like the one shown. The font looks like Helvetica Condensed, but you might notice the angle on the bottom stroke of the E that terminates with a slight angle. I redrew the E and the 1 and I've still had no luck trying to match...
  14. Cutting polycarbonate with a panel saw

    Well, our shop has been getting by for a long time with the luxury of having our materials cut by Grimco. Recently, however, our local branch merged with a not so local branch and they, for whatever reason, decided not to relocate their ten-foot shear to the new location. Long story short, we...
  15. Need Help Having a bit of trouble with this one.

    Anybody have any idea what the font shown might be? I found Kiner Bold, which is close but no cigar. I'm also on my home computer working late so I don't have access to Find My Font, just online resources. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  16. Question Problem with Orajet 3951RA

    I ordered a 54" roll of 3951RA a couple weeks ago. I printed off a 4 x 8 print and noticed the edges were really wavy. The material was basically warped down both edges. I then tried to laminate it a few days later (today) and the material just bunched up under the 290 laminate. So I printed...
  17. 6mm ACM or 5mm AlumaCorr?

    We've got a project coming up for a 4' x 8' double-sided sign. We are just quoting to make the sign and the client in this case, a local municipality, is building their own frame from 6" x 6" posts with 4" x 4" horizontal stringers. They plan on cutting a 1/4" notch 1" deep into the top and...
  18. Signs365 hard cards. Anybody try them out yet?

    I'm curious if anyone here has ordered any of the Signs365 hard cards yet. If so, I'd love to see some pics and hear your thoughts on them. In the advertisements I've been seeing, they look really cool.
  19. Anybody ever seen this?

    I went to look at a truck last night that's getting some new decals. The owner started removing the old number decal on one side which reveals a black ghost image on the paint. Not only have I never seen anything like this, but I find it odd that the 'ghost' number is in the shape of the white...
  20. Looking for this clipart image or something similar...

    I'm looking for a clipart image of an electronic poker/slots machine like the one in the image attached. Does anybody recognize this image and know where I can purchase it or know of a link to a similar image? I've spent about a half-hour on Google and Shutterstock so far to no avail. Most of...
