We call that "Wrisco" tubing with Tees and Corners. Since covid, it's been inconsistently available. Most general sign supply distributors have it, especially if they deliver with their own trucks since it comes in 21ft lengths. However as Grimco buys up the smaller places, they tend to...

Same here, I don't mind setting basic Gerber type and saving as an AI or EPS if I have a few minutes free.

We have 1 customer who brings us 15" vinyl to cut a few times a month. I told him $25 to start an order, + $2 per linear foot to cut (unless super detailed) +design time if needed.

I love how it's always the awful stories like that, that will stick in your head. As far as OP's question, Gerber 220 for cut vinyl colors, 3M180c-10 w/ 8518 lam for multi-color stuff, and little to none issues to fix.

It case it helps you or future searchers, this places sells the common size sign face replacements of that V3 product. They'll sell with or without track I believe, and you can set up an account for wholesale pricing. http://www.sssigns.com/

A slight tweaking of Bank Gothic would get you there.

Signs365 used to offer to score and fold. It's been a while, but I got a few 4x8s folded down to approx 2x4. It's possible they no longer do this, or that it's common knowledge for production staff and there is very little direct contact between customer service and production (due to covid...

Thanksgiving will probably be just our household (6). Usually have a family group of 20 or more. In the way that (most of) our clients trust our judgment and recommendations (as professionals in the industry) I extend the same basic courtesy to health and medicine professionals. We all know...

100% I probably should have been more clear upfront that this was the assumption, that is, to compare your own result with the official book. That's 1 of the reasons why I matched it all to their pages numbers, etc. otherwise it would have been simpler to put the colors in numerical order...

Just 1 at a time... Maybe there is some more automated way, but I couldn't imagine what. Though I'm only at best an intermediate skill with Illustrator. An hour here, an hour there. A few hours during "work from home" that I do 1 day a week. Once I had the templates set up I asked one of our...

FYI - I haven't actually run this on our VG-540 yet since we're due to change to TR2 inks very soon (another reason I needed a new swatch book printed). Although I have started running some on the old VP-540. I'll post a pic when done.

I made a set of files to print / perfcut the current Pantone Solid Color book on our Rolands (using my own design for the actual pages) I wanted a COMPLETE set of Pantone Solid Coated swatches, as printed by our equipment, on the media of our choice, etc. The only vector PDF’s I could find...
