Mud202 0 Posted September 2, 2018 Any idea where to find these blanks and the software for these signs? I was at a fair today and saw a vendor making these. I would like to add these to my business. He had about 100 different blanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 3, 2018 design your own in whatever sign software you are using - just make sure to design in a large enough format that when printed they look nice and don't use any characters or copyrighted images so you don't get sued. Too many fair vendors use images that often get them busted and they don't show up again the next year. If you design it with your own images that you created then it is no problem. What type of printer will you be using to print them? latex, solvent? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mud202 0 Posted September 3, 2018 This appeared to be an actual software program, not something that they just did to make a sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 3, 2018 what was they printing on that could be transported - personally I wouldn't take either a latex or solvent on the road so curious I tried doing a search on the internet for something similar and all the ones I found were of copyrighted materials - like on etsy etc even amazon with disclaimers that would not save their house when caught Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mud202 0 Posted September 3, 2018 These were blanks with a themed photo. They just printed a name on it with matching themed font. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 3, 2018 they stuck a name on them or printed them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 3, 2018 in over 10 years I have not seen a software like that and I have had eco solvent printers for over 6 years and attend trade shows - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 3, 2018 What type of printer were they using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 3, 2018 If I understand you correctly they had the pre printed backgrounds and then stuck that back into a printer to print the name on the banner? Guess I should back up a bit more - were they on paper, vinyl or what type of material and were they waterproof? trying to grasp what they was doing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mud202 0 Posted September 3, 2018 A simple ink jet printer, nothing fancy. But, he had a few hundred different designs blanks and he was using a software program that appeared to be designed specifically for these blanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 3, 2018 OK so for indoor use - hmm wonder if anyone else has seen this as it hasn't been at the trade shows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 3, 2018 Think I may have something - all of those images for similar posters have the same watermark just like yours above- katonah - and many of their images are copyrighted and the "poster" is much smaller than we normally refer to posters on the sign forum. the person that created those has this disclaimer on their sales - which would not hold up in court when sued by a copyright holder**COPYRIGHT NOTICE**Please note that your are paying for a creative service and the time spent designing and personalizing your item with personal information and/or photos, which is permitted for one-time PERSONAL USE.

3barefoot 52 Posted September 5, 2018 I have seen & have bought a sign like this at the NC State Fair a few years ago. It's printed on. You pick the sign and give them the name. For a extra price you can get it framed. You return in an hour or so to pick the banner up. To me it's not really a banner as much as a long poster. I bought a NY Yankees one for my Son & a dolphin one for my daughter. Its a neat item and I myself would love to able to add it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
