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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

Any chance someone could send me this? I would be GREATLY appreciative!

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!

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...

Good morning guys, We're printing a new background set for a local TV studio. There are 18, 36" x 120" panels that form the background. These are backlit from light sources on the wall behind the set. We've planned on using Sihl 3549 Optilux with a matte laminate, but have also looked at Sihl...

Haven't had any luck finding these with our usual vendors. I need something that matches very closely because they will be mixed in with dozens of signs the customer already has. Thanks for any help!

I'm planning on installing three fairly large banners (2 - 3' x 12's/ 1 - 3' x 8') on a church's interior wall. I've seen a few related posts, but wanted some advice. If I use grommets/anchors, how taut should I stretch the banner before installing to keep it from sagging? Also, if I use wall...

Wondering if any of you could send me the square footage for the top of an '84 Chevy Caprice (image attached). I'm installing a gator-skin seamless pattern. Installation advice welcome as well :)

Hey Everyone, We typically file down the edges of polymetal or aluminum after we cut it down on the panel saw. This can be pretty time consuming when there are several small - medium sized pieces. Are there any tools that can file it down quickly? Probably a simple answer, but figured I'd throw...

Hey Everyone, Do any of you know where I could find a link to buy Century Double Line. It's used primarily for engraving. I'm looking for a digital copy. Thanks! Ryan Mercer

Hey Everyone, Has anyone set up a Duke Basketball court replica for cornhole boards? I wanted to check before I started piecing it together. If so, maybe we could trade graphics or something - just let me know. Thanks! Ryan Mercer

Hey Everyone, Just wondering if any of you have experience installing graphics on a large freight trailer. It's corrugated like the one in the attachment. Any suggestions? Thanks!
