We screen printed a ton of road signage in the past. We had very bad experiences with 3M Stop sign red on 3M Diamond grade and engineering grade materials. The ink was an air dry ink that just didn't want to dry. Very unforgiving. I agree with the above posting about buying this outside. We'd...

At that volume you need to screen print them. Depending on art, we could do that. I wouldn't want to do a bleed print that size.

I'm not sure what you do, Mosh, but if you're currently a screenprinter, allow him to follow you around for a day. Or find a local printer who wouldn't mind having a visitor with a lot of questions. I believe in helping people, especially in this economy. He may need the extra income. BTW, when...

In my experience 4cp printing on t-shirts just doesn't look very good. It's primarily a technical thing regarding half-tone dots that have to sit on the warp and woof of a fabric. In other words, the substrate is not smooth. We would actually send this out to a professional separator who does...

We would screen print this 6 up on a 27x19 sheet w/380 mesh using UV inks. Probably 3 colors. Black halftones and then a clear or white hi-light. Maybe some silver in there. about 10 hours printing.

Thanks Mark. We're going to check those guys out. Apparently they have a place here in the Metroplex. Dick

I have a brother named Barry, but I try not to admit it. He and I have worked together now for 25 years. Any other long time family businesses out there? Thanks for the kind words.

Average Salary I would assume the average salary, if there is such a thing, is a function of how many people you're responsible for and how many $$ you're responsible for. There should be a national organization that tracks this stuff by region. In screen printing there is the SGIA (Screen...

Thanks for all the info. We get our hems sewn because our customers specify hemmed banners. When we screen print banners, we need flat stock and can't screen print over a hem or grommet. Also, many banners that we print are full bleed, reversed out, so they can only be sewn afterwards. Nice...

I don't see any threads here about banners. I'm sure almost all of you produce banners. Are these considered signs in the sign world? My main question here is if anyone sews their own seams. I'm trying to get information about what kind of sewing machine and what kind of thread to use for...

We bought "Corporate trademarks and Logos" from OCA Enterprises in 1998 (and upgraded in 2001). They have 4000 - 5000 versions of corporate logos already vectorized. Cost about $150.00 if I remember correctly. Purchase includes a vectorizing service which I have never used. We have used their...

Welcome And who said Texas had no wit?

Hello I originally posted this in the wrong place. I think that counts as an oops (hope there's no limit here!). Signs of a newbie. I hope you don't mind adding a screen printer to your midst. I bought a Roland FJ500 this year (packaged as a Quadra by Autotype) and find I'm starting to sell...

Hello I hope you don't mind adding a screen printer to your midst. I bought a Roland FJ500 this year (packaged as a Quadra by Autotype) and find I'm starting to sell more and more digital signage. We had a sign company operating out of our business for about 3 years, so I'm not a complete...
