The only printing I do would be the Edge, of course that is not the machine for this job due to size (and no foil to match the blue anyways) I would design this in Flexi and send off to a fellow sign shop to print on his HP latex. He says he can match a PMS color, but again, I am lost on the...

I am making a sign for a customer who said he would "much rather I use "Spot Colors", rather than CMYK. His sign will be 10' x 5' and will be a total of 3 colors - black, white and a medium blue (no vinyl match for the blue). He gave me a PMS color for the blue. As stupid as this may sound...

thanks all I must be outta touch. This is the first time I've heard of it.

I did a couple designs for a company, and had send those files to a number of different sign / install companies across the country. The files are around a GB each. I have used "dropbox" in the past, but someone in the chain has sent me revisions via "WeTransfer". I have never heard of...

Solventinkjet, I can guarantee it won't get over $600 this year. :) The work consisted of installing 4 "unit" number on the transon window above the main door. He was the contractor that installed the new doors for a small office complex. Dumb little job, that you wouldn't expect a headache...

I have one such customer that is currently 40 days out from my invoice date. His bill is $195.00. I sent him an email yesterday, and his excuse was that he hadn't received my W9 yet. (LOL thats a new one) He said he would get my payment out promptly as soon as he gets the W9. Being this is...

Has anyone else noticed a big push on requests for W9's ?? In the past 2 weeks, I've received 4 requests for a W9. The strange part, all have been for under $300 that we charged the customer. Its always been my understanding that you don't need to provide a W9 under $600. Is this correct?

Its been painted for 1 month.

I have to apply some interior wall graphics on painted drywall. Is this the best choice of materials to use? I have read on the Ultraflex website (or a distributors website) that it is LOW tac and repositional an unlimited number of times. (that I flat out don't believe) Being that a latex...

Thank you for the links. Much appreciated.

Does anyone have a good source for large (stock or custom) scroll brackets? I have a 36" wide x 48" high sign that I need to hang, and I'm looking for something a step above the plain boring ones I've found. Thanks )

What dimension of "aluminum" would you use for THIS project Tex? I'm not real familiar with the strength of aluminum to erect a 12 foot (16') post with this much windload. I would have thought steel would be a better, cheaper and stronger choice??? No? I have built some directional signs...

Gino being Gino. My inlaws have been in the "lumber yard / sawmill" business for 3 generations. They are in the top 10 largest this side of the Mississippi. They do have an impressive stockpile of old product, although I don't think they would be receptive to using any of their supply for sign...

I just wholesaled in 2 pan faces (8' x 4') for $1500. So your market $6k+ ?

I'm looking to build this structure out of 6x6x16 post with an added 2x6x16, mostly for aesthetic value, but Im sure it helps with structural integrity also. So, is 6x6 post a good way to approach this size of a sign structure? Are the 30" holes with 4 foot of post embedded sufficient for...

One final question. Is a walrus your favorite aquatic loving mammal?

you have aroused my curiosity. What exactly were these 3x4 double sided signs? Were these a Text Only sign? Was there artwork you had to work with? I have one customer that also orders a bunch of 3x4 signs on a regular basis. Must be a popular size) It totally baffles my mind that any sign...

I understand about the frost line. Rule of thumb around here is 36". I'm not sure if it was 1/3 of the entire support post should be in the ground. ie. To achieve an above ground height of 12 ft would require an 18' post (2/3's above ground, and 1/3 in concrete. That being 6 ft) OR, 1/3...

I know there are many variables, but what is the general rule of thumb for above ground vs "In Ground" on support post? Lets talk a 4x8 sign, on 6x6 post, where the top of the sign face (4'high way) would be 12' above ground. How much would your typically have in the ground? I have seen this...

no I did not specify a day/night application. As for the understanding part, I have to say YES and NO. My past experience has been digital print on clear, then applied to 1st surface of white translucent. This looks fantastic during the day, and as you know, washed out at night. I have had...
