Hi Y'all, Does anyone know what the 'bepanthen' font is? Thanks, John

Oracal has a nice silver and gold mirror chrome vinyl, but can anyone recommend a US supplier of colored mirror chrome vinyl? This will NOT be used for car wraps, and the thinner the better (but I'll consider anything). Thanks, John

Quick question: Can anyone recommend a good online source for sturdy cardboard tubes to ship rolled graphics and rolled vinyl wall graphics? Do any of you ship graphics like this regularly to end-users, and is there a disadvantage to using the triangular boxes vs. fixed tubes? Ideally these...

Is there such a thing as a 10 Mil laminate that doesn't silver permanently? I'm trying to use a matte textured laminate for tradeshow panels. On thinner laminates, the silvering will go away on its own overnight, but silvering on this thicker laminate never goes away. I've tried warming the...

I understand that interior wall decals are commonly produced with Oracal 631 for matte and 651 for gloss. My concern is that many clients increasingly have matte (flat) or low VOC wall paint, which is liable to result in poor adhesion and decals falling off. How do you deal with that...

Specifically, I need a 124" or 104" Keencut Evolution 2.... anyone know of any upcoming deals/specials being run on Keencut items? It's a shot in the dark, I know, but thought I'd try. Thanks, John

I'm in business brainstorming mode, trying to think of new avenues in which I could be of service. For all of the sign professionals here: would you consider outsourcing your mounting work to a local vendor? Say that you had someone that would come to your location, pick up your rolled vinyl...

Hi, I'm searching for a used Summa or Graphtec. I'm in the upstate of South Carolina, but am willing to travel to pick up the machine. This is for a bootstrapped, debt-free small business, so I am looking for a good deal on a solid piece of equipment with a lot of life left in it. For example...

Hi All, Does anyone have any experience with the Fletcher Titan or Keencut Evolution 2? I will be cutting laminated tradeshow panels, approx 22mil thick in total (12mil melinex and 10mil polycarb laminate) , and I haven't found an online comparison of the two. The Fletcher seems to cost quite...

Hi All, I have a 60” HP Z-series aqueous printer that I currently use to make indoor posters on matte Litho paper. I now have an opportunity to provide tradeshow popup panels to a local company on a somewhat regular basis (at least once a month). The company I’ll do this for has a few...

So, based on glowing reviews, I picked up a Rotatrim 36" cutter on ebay. Even in it's used condition, it was pretty darn expensive. The problem I immediately noticed is that the paper guide hardware is 2-3mm out-of-square over the course of its 10.5" length. The screenprinted guidelines seems...

Hi Y'all, I'm curious if any members started their small business in their garage or home within the last 10 years or so. Could you provide any anecdotes on how you outgrew the garage and made the leap into a dedicated space. How did you do it? Please share your bootstrapped entrepreneurial...

Hi All, Quick question on the Z6200 printhead. On the webserver, I noticed the status of both my LM-LC and PK-LG printheads have the status 'Assess IQ.' All others have 'OK' as their status. Any idea what that means? Also, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to read the printhead status...

Hi All, I would like a recommendation for a printer to accomplish some basic needs. I make children’s wall décor items, and I am moving into frame-able art prints that have the ability to be personalized on a per-order basis (mostly personalized with the child’s name). The printer must be...

Hello, I have a small side business making laser cut wooden children’s clocks here: www.LeLuni.com. I would like to expand my offerings into complementary children’s room wall stickers and removable ‘wallpaper’ (large scale print graphics that are peal-and-stick onto walls). My...
