We've had this printer for a little over a year now and it's warranty will be coming to an end soon. It's been great but it does have a few little issues. For one it regularly blows a fuse when running the vacuum past 80% and Roland just said that's normal. I have few ideas on how to fix that...

Customer has a 20' x 6' corrugated black steel powder coated solid gate. He wants the entire gate covered front and back. It faces east/west and will get a lot of sun in South Florida. Quoted him about $6300 for design, materials, and install for Oracal 3951 High Tack with 290 laminate. He calls...

Looking for a supplier for a stand similar to the photo shown. Any recommendations?

I'm looking into lenticular printing and I have printers that can do it. I just can't seem to find the material. I have found site for suppliers in Europe but none in the US. Anyone know where you can get it in the states?

We have an LEC2-640 and it's vacuum was holding down Oracal 3640 right off the roll great but now all of the media we roll onto it gets extremely wrinkled all down the sides. We've tried taping it down but then the wrinkles just move towards the middle of the media. Anyone have any ideas what we...

We've never had to do a name plate for wall mounted office name plates before. What do most people do for these? They are sized to 10 inch by 2 inch.

We just got an FC5100-75 and have been trying to figure out how to cut on it. I just find broken links to old software that doesn't work. Does anyone still use it and have any idea on what software we should use?

I'm trying to locate something like the attached post base for a 4x4. I feel like it shouldn't be so difficult to find but the ones I find don't have that wide base. This is for a customer who will be taking it around to horse shows so it needs to be able to be disassembled and portable and able...

Back in April we were contacted by another installer to produce a 10' x 2' HDU routed and painted sign to hang in a plaza. We quoted the job, agreed on a price, and heard nothing for a few weeks. Around May 15th the installer approved the job and gave us a 50% deposit. The check cleared and we...

We're a small shop and we took over this business in 2019 admittedly without a lot of experience (how hard can it be? HAHA). Over the past few years we've learned a lot, screwed up a lot, figured out that we still have a lot of learning to do - but in the midst of it all we've grown the business...

We have a job request that would require 34 4x8 6061-T6 sheets. Our regular suppliers don't carry this so I'm hoping someone has a recommendation. I received a quote from TW Metals who will only sell them in 4x12 sheets, but I'm hoping someone can supply them in 4x8 so I don't have to pay for...

This was installed by the previous owner about 4 years ago before we took over this shop. That being said, I'm not sure we wouldn't have installed the same way. We don't have a full size CNC in house so the sign wasn't made by our shop but I'm assuming it is 15lb HDU painted with Matthews Paint...

I have a design in my head that would involve layering two pieces of custom cut ACM on top of each other. I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't work but I haven't seen any examples of it done. Maybe I'm just using the wrong search terms. Has anyone done this and if so, would you share...

My husband and I took over this sign shop almost 2 years ago. His brother had been running (did not own) the shop for a few years before that and we had kind of a crash course in sign making - we're still learning every day and I learn a lot from reading these forums. The other day one of our...

A couple of weeks ago we were approached by a mom of a graduating Senior at one of the local high schools to make a yard sign design for her daughter. I spent a long time putting together a design I was proud of and we made her the sign. Since then we've been overrun with orders for them. For...

We're looking for a trade provider of panface inserts - local to South Florida would be great, but not necessary. Any recommendations?

We're looking for a trade printer that prints on polyboard (polycoated cardstock - evidently it goes by many names). This is for a pest control company to place small 6"x6" signs on the lawn after spraying. I'm also trying to understand the difference between regular UV coating that you'd get...

Printing stickers for a non-profit to go on kits for kids staying in hospitals. We used 3640 in the past, but apparently, it doesn't stick as well as they'd like. I've never actually seen the foam, they just pick up the stickers - so I'm not 100% sure as to the consistency of it, but I imagine...
