Mmmm.... sandwiches....:corndog: OK... I'm using IE 11... Yeah, IE... I like it! I scooted down to the Standard Text Editor from the full WYSIWYG setting, and it seems to be good now. Testing testing one, two, three... Yup, I think we're good, now. Thanks! Chris

When trying to type into the message boxes here in these forms, I often lose some of the letters. So, I'm typing away, and look up at what I've just typed, and letters are missing from words. It's like my keyboard is not working correctly, but it happens only on this forum. isis a test, tis is...

The process described in the link is what I do. It has some limits, but it gets me by. Chris

I'm still researching, but I've narrowed it down to a Summa S2 D75 or a Graphtec FC8600-75, with the Summa in the lead. My Vytek is currently (sort of) behaving, so it's not an emergency, but that could change tomorrow morning. I hope to have one on the way to me by this coming Friday. When...

I haven't made my decision yet... Which of the cutters you sell compare to the Summa S2 D75? Thanks, Chris

Looks like an S2 D75 would be the Summa for me... $4500. The T75 is another $1500. I'm not sure I can swing that, but it would be nice to have the Tangential knife like my Vytek has. Thanks or the advice! Chris

My 20 year old 40" Vytek Gem vinyl cutter is finally giving up the ghost. 20 years of good cutting is a lot so I'm not too disappointed. I'm a small one-guy shop, so I don't need a high end, super fast cutter. I'd need to cut 15", 24", 30" material. I do some sandblasted wood signs on...

I buy 90% of my stuff from Midwest Sign & Screen Printing Supply. Chris

Post Antiqua... Yeah, that's it! Thanks, Chris

I just can't think of the name of this font. Does anybody here know it? Thanks! Chris

DIETHYLENE GLYCOL DIETHYL ETHER?!?! Yeah, OK... I'll vent it. There's an unused vent stack in the attic above the room I'd print in, so it'd be easy enough to do. I swear I'm aware a wider printer could be more useful at times... But I really don't want anything past 30". An acquaintance of...

Thanks for the input. I'm sure I don't want a 48+" printer. It's just too much. 24" to 30" is where I want to be. If I need a wider print, I can farm it out. I had an older 54" HP Designjet 3800cp aqueous ink printer for a short while. It was just too much printer and I didn't like it. I...

I'm thinking about adding a wide format printer to my shop. I know very little about printing on vinyl. I do mostly wood and cut vinyl signage, and if I really need a print, I farm it out. I'd use prints more if I had a little printer, though. What I (think) I know is this: A maximum width of...

Long story short... I ended up trading with a vinyl wrap shop. They did the laminating, I'll do some CNC routing for them. Chris

Any ideas what this font is? The fancy curlies might have been added on to a base font. I think this was done in the late 70's or early 80's. If I could get close, I could add some curly wurlies. Thanks! Chris

Thanks for all the input. I need to come here more often! I don't have a roll laminator of any kind, so that's out of the question. I've thought about getting a Big Squeegee from time to time. I just didn't know which version to get. I'd want to be able to mask vinyl, as well as lay it down...

I've got a bunch of aluminum signs to do. Some are 24" x 36" and some are 36" x 60". They get premium cast opaque vinyl for background color, with vinyl lettering on top. In the past, I've just masked my vinyl and squeegeed it on like any other vinyl. It works fairly well, but I get a few...

I want to add edglelit LED signs to my product line. There's about a million sources for the parts needed for them, and it looks like most of them are toy/hobby grade. Does anybody here know where to source commercial grade LED strips, power supplies, bases & base extrusions, and all the related...

I need to mount some routed letters so that they look like they are "floating" in front of a ruffled curtain. I usually use studs to mount my routed letters, but I'm not sure they won't sag as the letters will be about 2" to 3" from the wall. On some of the letters, I will only by able to use #8...
