We have the 98" Keencut and the blade is great for foamcore, coro, any soft substrate but sucks for 3/16" Ultraboard and 3mm PVC. The blades that came with were medium duty, so we thought let's get the heavy duty and that should solved it. Nope, rips at the edge, does not cut it clean at all...

Have talked to Grimco, Wensco, Regal Plastics and Midland Plastics, I need 1"(25mm) 5'x10' sheet of black PVC, no one has it in stock, Midland could get it but I have to order 5 sheets minimum at $300 a piece and I only need 1 sheet. Have been considering just going with 1.5" sign foam and paint...

We have been installing window perf on exterior windows for over 20 years and never had an issue with visibility. One of our clients requested some perf on their interior office windows and we obliged. Obviously you can see in the pic this doesn't work with the interior light source they have...

I've been leasing a shop space for my business for the past 11 1/2 years. The current space we've been in over 7 years and have around 5500 square feet. We are outgrowing it as far as the production space/offices and have been looking to buy for the last year or so. With our size requirements...

Went to the Print United show last week and finally got to see these new HP Latex machines running and get the details on them.They only had the 800w(white ink) but I'm going with the 700w as I don't need the bigger ink capacity. From what I have seen on this forum, it's a mixed bag on these...

Good morning, trying to find a supplier for these style of signs. I found a company that supposedly makes them but they haven't returned my messages. If anyone has a source for these or can produce them please let me know.

We printed a large floor graphic 8'x8 for a bar in a large sports arena concessions area. My designer seamed it in the middle going against walking traffic(so people would likely hit the seam more) but I wouldn't think that would necessarily cause it too lift like it is. We used adhesion...

We have been using 1/2" MDO for years on site signs and it works well for those applications. For long term use, I know they recommend using trim cap, which for a square or rectangle sign is fine but a custom cut one not so much. The manufacturer offers a warranty for up to 66 months on the...

Here we have our HP 330 Latex printer for sale. It's been a workhorse of a machine. Still prints nice and is a good machine overall. I've attached the usage report as well. Changed out the take up basket recently and retrofitted the cheap plastic stuff to make it a little stronger. We are...

We are looking into purchasing a router, the brand is Industrial CNC and they have a big presence in the sign industry. They are featured in Signcraft, sign of the times, Sign & Digital Graphics and have lots of good reviews. Does anyone here use one and how do you rate it overall? I'd much...

So, here's my dilemma. We installed wallpaper for a client in their salon that they provided to us. They ordered it from a company in the UK. Material was garbage, as soon as the glue would touch it or any moisture, it would shrink up. It was extremely thin as well. So it didn't line up very...

We are bidding on a project that will display a client's logo and website, all one color,(black) on a huge flat roof of a brand new building. They client is near the airport so they are proposing this to be approximately 25' tall x 150' wide. It scales pretty close to that. The text alone is...

Is there a general formula for a sign cabinet retainer to get the true dimension of the sign face you are changing out? When I measure them, I measure the whole cabinet then subtract about 1/2" from each side to give a little bit of play for the sign face to fit properly in the retainers of the...

So we have been asked to print and install a 10'x30' wall mural with no overlaps at all. This is something I've never had a customer request and I have not installed anything that didn't have an overlap. I told the client that the industry standard is 1/2" overlap but we could do 1/4". He said...

I'm sure this has been discussed at one point on here. HP is contacting me about renewing my service contract on my HP Latex 330. The monthly fee isn't bad but just trying to decide if it's really worth it. $160 per month for 2 years. I think I have a tech out 1-2 times a year, usually minor...

So we are bidding on a brick wall wrap to do the installation only. It's outdoors and will be changed out every couple years. The square footage is roughly 4500 sq. ft. and will be printed by another vendor. We are just going to be doing the installation. We have installed on brick walls but...

Checking to see if someone has this created in a vector format or at least hast the measurements for it. We have installed several of them in the past but haven't had a need to make one until now. Obviously it would be super simple to re-create, just need the dimensions. If someone has one...

So we want to do a time lapse video of a wrap we are starting tomorrow. Obviously my phone has video and the time lapse function but for 1, there's not enough memory, and 2, I'm on my phone frequently. So is a Go-pro, SLR camera, or video camera best for doing this? I see people post videos all...

A few months ago I met with some bankers regarding a business loan to purchase a new building. We ended up running out of time and had to lease instead but it all worked out how it was supposed to. Anyway, during the meeting, we were discussing what I valued my business at. They had a general...

I'm going to start working with a guy who fabricates awnings and needs printing done on them. He moved here from Chicago and so is needing a new local source. We are thinking of doing heat transfer vinyl but think that is going to be complicated when running anything larger than the 16"x20" heat...
