XXX Plowing and hot crack fills Sign got my attention! Really though, both the designs suck but I'd choose the one that someone else made for free.

Now that's a good nifty trick

Tex would have done thrown 4 tapcons in it, ran some romex through the wall, wire taped it together and collected the check. Sheesh Gino

Bet the hammer and dolly is faster than programming that thing and the guy running the hammer is cheaper than the guy running the computer

Money. They need fluff to make the video longer, something with how these sites pay out

It's equally the customer's fault if not more. Everyone knows that codes are different everywhere. I could order a metal building from Illinois for a whole lot less than one down in Florida and they will ship it to me no questions asked. It's on me to make sure what I am buying will fly...

We started with a print/cut machine and still use it to cut sometimes. It's nice to have it as a backup to our plotter too. I like the Mimaki CJV150 for print/cut. It's basic, easy to learn and easy to repair yourself. The cut accuracy is good. I don't know about their new models of printers...

There are so many different color standards, it's hard to keep up with it and none of them have an exact crossover. We reference RAL quite a bit, I think that is the standard in powder coat. Then there are federal standards which has a code that dictate the sheen as well as the color...

Don't you have a camera with your Matthews setup? I never tried to read a printed swatch with it but we scan paint quite often. Maybe a print is too grainy?

Looks like a stamped data plate in the picture? The plastic on the top is just a peel off plastic film for protection until the plate is installed

Dye sublimation on aluminum maybe? My dad used to screen print data plates
