Yes I've had this happen as well, in onyx there is a setting to add margin to the top/bottom/left/right of prints, I add 3" to the bottom and it fixed the issue.

That's cheaper than sinalite, not even counting the stakes, either they are sourcing direct from China, or they are breaking even at best. I know some shops will run things at cost during slow times just to keep their employees employed through slow times, but with the election coming up, I...

I would use VHB tape and try to convince the client to allow you to put 2 small screws in the top corners, painted to Match the background, no one will ever see them.

Rapid tac is good for some types of applications, I only use it when installing frosted film on glass because it's so unforgiving. It sounds like you need to practice your techniques more, vinyl lettering is pretty easy with the correct technique, wrapping is a very difficult skill if you are...

What part of the process are you having trouble with? If you can explain better I can help, we have a vision engraver and make a ton of ADA type signs.

For small car decals, we use either Automark from General Formulations, or Arlon 4600LX, for lam I've been happy with Arlon 3620.

I've never understood mixing business with politics or religion, you're going to alienate 50% of the population and of the other half only a small fraction will care enough to make your beliefs a deciding factor of who to use. Up here we have the "F Trudeau" croud, and while I'm not a Trudeau...

I've often thought it would be nice to get my hands on FastSigns training and on boarding documents, I imagine they are really good at getting someone with no experience up and making something that resembles a sign pretty quickly. I've started making SOP's at our shop about a year ago when I...

Yes it will

Use a polyurethane construction adhesive, but you will need to use something to hold it in place for 24 hours while it dries, VHB tape works well

Lol, it took me a few minutes to figure out what you are talking about with the screw, you Americans and your inferior Phillips screws, Robertson square heads all day long!

I've had an application table for 10 years now, it's the most idiot-proof machine in the shop, I routinely have our bookeeper/office manager mount graphics with it without issue.

Coroplast?!

Not to mention time, 3D printing is excruciatingly slow, you would need weeks just to print a single job! Don't get me wrong, I love 3D printers, I bought a small one for use around the shop to print jigs and fixtures, but if I had to charge machine time on it a simple print would cost...

This is usually my go to as well, but it looks like this unicorn of a bracket has a slot that fits into a grove in the sign, and a set screw on the back to eliminate all visible fasteners. If you got this job from an architect, kick it back to them and tell them you have never seen this bracket...

I can't imagine the thought process and mental gymnastics your client went through to think this is in any way your fault. The pesticide company has certainly come across another business with window perf before, common sense would dictate that spraying a chemical on window graphics may cause...

If you do, can you get this guy to answer the phone?

The Epson exhausts the air along the entire back of the printer, I have an exhaust fan behind the printer, but it's not connected to the printer, It definitely helps, but I can still smell it during heavy print days.

Some definitely do, I know 4over has a retail site that sells at pretty much the same "wholesale" pricing as we get.

I'm toying with this myself currently, we started off as an engraving shop, and as such we get walk-ins looking to get their fishing trophy engraved, or a charcuterie board engraved etc. these are all usually 1 off customers who I will never see again, we have a $25 engraving minimum order...
