  1. Need Help Acrylic Signs / Printing

    In the past, we have subcontracted our direct-to-substrate acrylic printing. This time, we are considering printing the graphics ourselves, applying to Ultraboard (or other substrate?), and then placing this against the second surface of the 1/4" acrylic panels. The acrylic/Ultraboard panels...
  2. Need Help Lamex Overlam for Wrap?

    Our HP printer is down at the moment, so we're having to use a local wholesale printer to print for a wrap due next week. He uses IJ180cv3 vinyl with Lamex 2mil 4yr overlaminate. His pricing is good, but would our wrap job be compromised with the Lamex? Anybody use the Lamex for wraps?
  3. Air Tubes HP L25500

    Hey Everyone, We've had a lot of trouble in the last couple of weeks with our black/yellow printheads. The problem started at the end of a wrap print that was mostly a solid green print for a 20' box truck. We replaced both Y/K printheads and it worked fine...briefly. So after it failed again...
  4. L25500 Printheads

    Ok, so I've replaced my first printhead. Is there any procedure I need to perform beyond the automatic printhead alignment that the printer starts after replacing one? Thank you guys.

  6. L25500 Printheads

    Hey everyone, We have a used L25500 that we've been using for a short while and had a couple of questions: 1) How do you know when a printhead needs to be replaced? The status is listed as "OK" for all printheads, but we've been getting some inconsistent prints lately (i.e. colors not printing...

  8. Signlab Install Quesiton

    Good morning! One of our computers finally kicked the bucket yesterday. The problem is that it was running Signlab 5.0 (Rev 12) to connect to our plotter. Embarrassingly old, I know. I have the dongle, font disk, manuals, everything except the install disc. Do any of you happen to have a...
  9. 6 - 7 Ft. Dimensional Letters

    Hey guys and gals, Hope you're all doing well. I have a customer who's looking for 6-7 ft. dimensional letters for an interior wall. What's the best material and where could I order them from? I don't see anything that size in Gemini and the others I've researched. Thanks for any help! Ryan
  10. Printer Tech in the Raleigh Area?

    We talked to Ryan at Southeastern, but he wasn't able to help. Anyone else? Really just looking for someone to diagnose our printer to see if the heater really has to be replaced...
  11. Printer Tech in the Raleigh Area?

    Hey Everyone, Hope you all are well. We have a HP L25500 that is out of warranty and just started giving us heat related error codes (14.08, 14.10 and 15.10). Does anyone know of a tech that could take a look at our printer — preferably someone in the Raleigh area. I've tried a few simple...

  14. L25500 Heating Module - Code 15.1

    Hey everyone, I came in this morning and started printing a banner on our L25500. Everything was going fine, but it stopped mid-print and said something in regards to there not being enough power for the heating module. I took a look at the back of the printer and one module was flipped and the...
  15. Wholesale Acrylic Routing

    We're in need of a spec for an important customer that wants custom routed/printed acrylic signage. If we sent the files, would anyone be able to produce and send a couple of small specs (approx. 10" x 20") within a day or two? We're located in NC and have a really tight deadline. Thanks for any...

  17. Alumacorr vs. Polymetal

    Thanks for all of the input, guys. I'm going to try out the Alumacorr on this one and see how it holds up.
  18. Alumacorr vs. Polymetal

    Trying to decide which is more durable for a permanent 4' x 8' sign (mounted between posts): 10mm alumacorr or 1/4" polymetal. I generally lean towards polymetal for my signs, but was wondering the pros and cons of each. Thanks!
  19. Hand Painted Septic Truck Tank

    Agreed for both of you. But, it's not my layout, and they specifically requested hand painted.
  20. Hand Painted Septic Truck Tank

    Hey everyone, I have very little experience in the area of hand painted signs. We've been requested to paint the attached graphic on a separate 4200 gallon septic truck tank. A friend in the industry will be painting this for me, but I'm not sure how much to charge the customer. It will be both...
