Was a profitable day for me at the show, stopped for a coffee and a bite to eat at the first services north of Birmingham and put a couple of quid in a machine and won £150 😀

Up :yes1:
Methinks people are trying to get noticed a bit more during this "downturn" so it’s a case of either an updating sign, vehicle livery and even the odd banner. Have had a couple of people who have been made redundant and are using their payout to set up on their own, so shop front, and delivery van jobby.

Not a law as such, just covering your customers rear end :lol1: Just putting that notice below the number plate should suffice.

Nice Job Warren…only one thing missing!
You should put under the number plate a little notice stating the vehicle is registered as a white van so if the boys in blue do a PNC check, it will be ok and the driver won’t be getting pulled up every five minutes 😀

quote Phill:Thing is Rob – they’ve been hospitalised because they’ve just returned from “Mehico” and are displaying classic flu symptoms…didn’t it occur to any of the “quacks” at Monklands hospital that these classic “flu symptons” display a remarkable resemblance to a flippin great hangover 😕
A Scot with a hangover? Never 🙄

Silver/grey Vinyl is available from Intercoat code 9794 which is equivalent of RAL 9006

You did ask: What font do M&S use in their Logo?
Just was unsure if you had the right typeface on your picture?
Will be in work tomorrow and will sort something out for you (if no one help out beforehand)Dave

Oh! Sod It…..time to sub-contract Graeme 🙄

The link Neil put on for Edward Mathias is great. We use their blades in all our machines and when blunt, send them off to them and they send us back resharpened ones. Great service.

We use aluminium channel, as fixed onto road signs, onto the wall then use the stainless steel clamps, again as used on road signs, to clamp the posts to the rails.
ASD Metal Services will be able to supply all components, including the posts, if you need them.

Phill, At least if someone wants half a pint at the bar, it’ll be easier for you to order with hand a signal :lol1:

Was in CEF (City Electrical Factors) recently and they had a video running showing a tube of stuff for fixing piping, trunking etc to walls. They also had some samples stuck to brickwork and it was solid! Might be worth giving them a ring and ask them what it is, as I didn’t take the name down 🙁

If you can wait until the end of April, come to SignUK at the NEC where you can play with the equipment and get a good deal if you order whilst there.

Never used Quest…have always used Gravograph! Best engravers in the world IMO 🙂 Bit pricey but go on year after year.

Put this in Quote & Sub-contracting forum and ask for someone to quote using the Gerber Edge to print a solid white onto clear.
Dave

Yup, same here….just after the interest cut to 0.5% it went deaded!

Just had an email from printmax which reads:
You may have recently heard that B&P Lightbrigade Group Ltd have unfortunately become another casualty to the current Global Crisis and have been forced into administration with immediate effect.
Although printMAX haven’t sold Uniform machines or been associated with B&P Lightbrigade Group Ltd for sometime, however, we do have years of experience in supplying and supporting Uniform products and we will endeavour to assist all customers to enable your machines to keep running. We have secured access to the original Uniform Ink direct from the manufacturer. AGFA ink for the Anapurna’s will be in stock shortly.
Our objective is to minimise the impact this will have on your business, and keep you printing. If you have any questions please give us a call and we will provide as much assistance as we can.
Looks like that’s it for B&P 🙁

quote Peter Normington:thats naughty
but engines dont melt, not completley anyway, someone nicked it, then set fire to the truck (?)Peter
Aluminium engine in this beast melted. Was a large lump of ali underneath! Bear in mind as well that the fuel tank was full ready for a trip to France so it was like a furness when it went up. The car park surface has been burnt away as well. I do a lot of work for this company and really feel for the owners over this. He had to lay 6 men off two weeks ago due to the "downturn" so I think plod will be having a few words with these 😕

quote Mike Grant:Marcella, so I can blame you for chopping my thumb up today, in sympathy for your pain. I was trimming a poster using a safety ruler but cut along the wrong side of it and my blade wandered along a previous cut in my cutting mat and ran over the edge of the rule and sliced my thumb. That is a very rare thing for me to do as I am very aware usually when cutting things. 😳quote Jillbeans:Dammit I cut myself TWICE today in the same place!
(under my fingernail)
So yes, I feel your pain.
Love….Jillquote Glenn Sharp:I sliced my thumb today……not a baddun but I never slice my thumbDefinitely a jinx :lol1:

She’s a bloody jinx Mike 😀

Any use?

If it’s any consolation Marcella…………we never felt a thing! :lol1:

Porn filter on computer….blue films….i’ll get me coat…
One thing to try is printing a pantone chart then whichever one is printed in the right shade you are after, alter the thing you are printing to that. May look well out on screen but at least you know what you are going to get in the end.

quote Shane Drew:uncertainty has now hit Japan.
In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.
Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song, while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.
While Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.
Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.

I’m going on Wednesday as well.
I have 1 litre (near as dammit) of original black grenadier/uniform solvent ink to give away as I now use ITL inks. So, first one who asks for it, gets it 😀

there is a company that does carbon fibre effect vinyl….but can’t think who it is 😕
-
looks like Caslon Swashes

Did some for model artics some years ago for a chap that sold them to transport companies so they could give them away at Christmas as a present for their big clients. Printed them on the Gerber Edge so if you have someone near you with an edge, have a word with them or put something in the quotes, sub contract forum.
Dave
-
Hi Mike, Yup, use them regularly. They subcontract all their work out to other companies like DHL, City Link etc. They get good prices for passing on all their work on and pass the savings onto their customers so everyone wins.
Dave

Busy, Busy, Busy. Well up on last year and looking good 🙂

It can be done Warren but I don’t know why 😕
Engraving laminate comes in a black face, matt, gloss, brushed, textured and engraves to a white core.

That’s got to be Mr. Jim’s brother surely :lol1:

Use this by entering the English and translating to Somali then drag over the translation, copy and paste.

That did it Warren 😀
Thanks…..I owe you a drink at Sign UK *drink*

Got the logos from the lottery. The 3D one which is the one I need is the one giving me the problem.
-
Ain’t at work at the mo but have got some vectors and will post them tomorrow if you haven’t got sorted. As to the vinyl, ensure you cover the vinyl plus a nice margin with an anti slip covering otherwise you might find yourself in the same custody suite for injuring someone when they slip on it :lol1:

Good idea Mike….better still, let me have yours and I’ll send them on :lol1:
