  1. Shipping Signcade Deluxe, boxes?

    I'll need to ship some signcade deluxe's and I've already used up all the boxes I could get for them. I've looked at uline and some places like Chicago Box, and Crown Packaging. No one seems to have anything this size. 26-28in x 4in x 47-48in. Anyone shipping these out mind sharing what box they...
  2. Need Help How to remove old liner off acrylic?

    I've got this piece of clear acrylic we're planning to turn into a shield for our counter. The liner is being a PIA to remove. I've tried soaking another piece with Rapid Remover and it didn't help much. These are old, could be 10-15 plus years old. We don't do a lot with clear acrylic. Most my...
  3. Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce

    ADVISORY MEMORANDUM ON IDENTIFICATION OF ESSENTIAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS DURING COVID-19 RESPONSE [PDF] Texas Executive Order GA-14 Texas has decided to use this as the guideline. No direct mention of our industry. There is an application to apply for essential designation. Very...
  4. Conspiracy or not? Zoo Printing/4over

    I thought maybe there was going be some team up or something, but looks like an error. See attached. Both emails are exactly the same outside the subject.
  5. How is this metal sign made?

    A gallery customer brought this in and would like to redo it. They've been through about three or four people since this sign was made, so they don't know where it came from. It's 1/4" Aluminum attached to a 3/8" spacer which was VHB'd to the wall. Mounting process and material aside, I have no...
  6. I wonder what the conversation was like when ordering this sign...

    Someone posted this on Reddit. It's somewhere in Nebraska. I've done small joke signs before for "around the office" pranks. Man, I'd love to get an order like this. Just noticed it is a version of the FHWA traffic fonts too lol.
  7. Need Help Quote for 500k Labels Please...

    Just got this email: Also attached was a PDF, but I didn't dare open it. Don't want to end up in Richard's acid barrels.
  8. Flexi 12 Build 2898 - Update to Production Manager randomly closing.

    Hadn't seen anyone post on this since it happened. So right before Flexi 19 came out, SAI released Flexi 12 sp5 2898 which offered new features. There were issues with PM randomly closing, even in the middle of a job. Apparently this issue was limited to users with HP Latex machines. Now there...
  9. Rant ST Media Group - Specifically Screenprinting Magazine

    Please stop calling me. I've emailed, mailed, filed FCC complaints, blocked numbers. I've asked politely, I've asked desperately, I've asked angrily, I've asked for supervisors, I've even offered to pay. These idiots will not stop calling me about this stupid magazine. No matter how many times I...
  10. Font Needed WTF - Lighting

    I can't seem to find the font for this. That "g" is something special. I know I've seen it before, but I can't find it.
  11. Alumigraphics Smooth for permanent, coated, floor graphic?

    I've got a concrete flooring company that is wanting to do some 3ft graphics on the floor and then do their clear garage coating. Vehicles will be driving over it daily. They say that "other" companies use a 3-4 mil vinyl. I showed them some Alumigraphics that I had down. I personally feel like...
  12. Where to purchase Leister HemTek

    Like title said. Is there a vendor that sells these or do you have to get them from Leister USA?
  13. Rant 33"x127" Metal Sign Faces

    First off, what a stupid size. Second, anyone know where to get 72in x 144in .063? I'm not holding my breath on this quote. One of those jobs that's borderline "no-go." Someone designed and installed a 5 slot multi-tenant sign but no faces. Now we're being asked to finish the job. Yeah, one of...
  14. Rant Is it unreasonable to turn these projects down?

    You know how it is, we get a walk in that will want something that's a potential copyright infringement, or some type of infringement we may not be aware of. So we generally avoid any of it. Especially since it's mostly one off jobs that I don't want to mess with anyway. A lady has been trying...
  15. Need Help Any idea what this is or how to remove it?

    I've got a 3/4in clear acrylic panel that had second surface translucent vinyl. The customer brought this one in to get redone because the letters were coming off. We didn't make the originals and they don't remember when they signs were made. Issue: This green flaky stuff that is baked onto...
  16. Chinese New Years affecting anyone else?

    We heard back from a supplier that a order wouldn't meet a deadline because China is on holiday. First I've ever heard anything like that!
  17. Need Help Pausing between Contour and Perf Cut

    About a month ago I decided to upgrade from SP3 to SP5. Had issues and downgraded back to SP4. Prior to the upgrade my plotters would automatically pause and beep to let me change the tool to the perf cut position. I can't seem to find any settings that do that. I can tell it to pause between...
  18. Rant Filter Forge 7 does not work in Photoshop CC 2019

    Just noticed that the FF7 plugin is not available in Photoshop 2019. Looked around and saw a post from another member here (won't name without his permission) and Filter Forge basically said, "eh FF7 is too old, time to upgrade." Get this, the only updates in FF8 are tabs, meta data, and back...
  19. Suggestions Don't be like me...

    Use a safety ruler. Did it again last night. Trying to rush a job out so I wouldn't have to come in early this morning. Sliced about a quarter inch thick chunk off my thumb. My hand wasn't sticking out, but I wasn't paying attention and the knife (led by my trusty right hand) jumped the ruler...
  20. Anyone familiar with this Lot # sticker for overlam?

    Owner picked up this roll from a local supplier for like $25, because they didn't know what it was. It doesn't have any branding and was not in a box. We don't plan on using it for anything more than laminating super short term jobs or in-house stuff because we don't know much about it. Was...
