  1. Thankfully it's not ours...

    That's scary. Thanks for sharing!
  2. Rounding corners on Max Metal (ACM) sign panels

    It works great. I use it for 3mil and 6mil MaxMetal all the time. I replace the dye about every 5 years.
  3. Equipment Suggestions

    I heard back from Grimco after giving them this same information. They came back to me, after speaking to their Mimaki Rep, and recommended the JV100-160. I would rather not have a 64" printer because I won't utilize the extra printing space and I would have to make room in my office as I...
  4. Decal stock advice

    I would suggest using Oracal 3164HT.
  5. Equipment Suggestions

    Hello all. I am looking for some suggestions on new equipment. I have been running my Mimaki JV33-130 for the last 11 years. I know this is getting old and I don't want to have a major breakdown and then not be able to get parts. I previously ran a Mimaki JV3 for 8 year prior to this current...
  6. Question Ford Transit sealant between panels

    Not sure what others do but I've always cut it back. Vinyl doesn't stick to the sealant and I can see how it would fail over time and could cause bigger issues.
  7. Movie Poster sources?

    I've bought poster art from Etsy.
  8. Waterproof Fluorescent Cardstock

    It is rigid like cardstock.
  9. Waterproof Fluorescent Cardstock

    I'm looking for waterproof fluorescent cardstock. I have a customer that owns a bunch of forest land and they've had these made before. These are used in the woods as warning signs and have print on them such as "Permit Required for Access". I believe the size is about 11" x 17" but I'm having a...
  10. Transformations Tab in Coreldraw 2017 versus 2021?

    "Arrange" tab at the top has these options for me. I am running 2021.5
  11. Additional U-channel Support

    I've used these and had good outcomes. https://www.myparkingsign.com/Sign-Posts/Impact-Resistant-Flexible-Signpost/SKU-K-2805 They are spendy but they work as intended.
  12. Weeding reflective

    I use Oralite 5600 and it does take extra time to weed but I don't remember ever seeing strings of glue. If my customers are asking for reflective lettering, I try to deter them saying that reflective lettering on its own isn't worth the extra cost, especially when it is smaller lettering. If...
  13. My city is getting very greedy

    Sometimes but not all the time. In my experience, if it is a simple sign on the small side, (less than 32 sq ft.) with no electrical components, the sign and code is barely looked at. They read through the paperwork and sign off on that without doing an actual inspection. This doesn't apply to...
  14. Sinalite compromises credit cards - A PSA

    Interesting.... My card was just stolen and I use Sinalite often.
  15. Fonts

    Azo Sans
  16. Refacing polycarbonate lightbox sign - pull permits?

    I convinced my local municipality to not require permits for this kind of project. If we are blocking a sidewalk or using electric tools, we still have to file for those permits but refacing a simple sign is not worth their time. Otherwise, we'd have to wait 2-3 months to finish a simple...
  17. Credit Card Stolen Number, how did it happen?

    Just had my Capital One card stolen again in just 2 months. This time the person had my email address and my phone number. They tried buying a Meta headset and some games.
  18. Credit Card Stolen Number, how did it happen?

    My Mom's personal credit card just got stolen from her small town credit union. She's never used the card and it's still glued to the paper that it came on. Ridiculous!
  19. Contour around text in CorelDraw 2019

    I've been using Corel Draw since version 3 from 1992. Corel Draw definitely has issues with contour curves at times. For example, sometimes when contouring letters, it will contour everything but leave out the middle of an "O" letter. I've seen it happen many times.
