Been there... Done that...

Ready made length counters are costly, and you still have to rig it to the machine. I'd just go to a hardware store and buy a measuring wheel, take the handle off it and make a mount. That mount looks like a dime a dozen hinge with a piece of metal screwed to the wheel, just use a magnet...

Clearing frost off the car windows this morning thinking "better this than a hurricane". Saw some massive damage on the news this morning. All the stuff can be replaced, the people are most important. For a change this one missed my daughter... The worst hit well north of her.

I wouldn't have touched it. Happy to hear it went smoother than anticipated for them, but I know I wouldn't have that kind of luck. I never do...

The name is already on it, the OP wants to completely cut the boulder apart around it to just keep that part.

Check with monument companies that make headstones, there are still some that cut their own down from large blanks. Granite quarries have equipment to cut some pretty large stuff, so if you have any around you, check with them too. You'll probably have to transport it to them if you find one.

Laminating is trial and error till you get the machine dialed in. First rule of thumb when laminating is "less is better". You just want the lam to set as it passes through the rollers, period.The more pressure, the more tension on the lam or liner take-up roll, the more stretch you'll get, and...

Yup, follow Unclebun's advice. That's what the wrap films are for, and they don't need laminating. Color wrap films come in 60" wide rolls, many vendors will sell by the yard so you don't have to buy a full roll.

Display company I retired from, one of the vendors we used a lot towards the end of my time there was Advanced Kiosks. Can't think of any major issues we had with them. Not cheap, but none are... Thy do indoor/ outdoor, everything from basic interactive way finding to reservation and payment kiosks.

With all the 3D printers out there, there's a reason no one is doing this. Other methods are more efficient, less costly, and way faster.

He's never encountered those exact ones before, but similar ones. Most of those long obsolete, and no longer available. He said best option is to install a Retro Frame kit, they're made to convert std frames to flex face, and update old ones. They completely replace the old extrusions, and use...

And of course they don't sue the guy who beat em' senseless, but the sign company who put the logo on the ring? Why not :roflmao: That's a specialty thing anyway, I'd sub it out or give them the names of companies and be done. I do know if it's actual canvas, they're usually painted on.

You have the profile drawings and dimensions... If they'll only accept a match, is it something you could have 3D printed?

Yup, it's mostly all Gerber. They released their first sprocket fed plotter in the early 80's, back when dot matrix printers used the same technology (there are still corporations who use sprocket fed printers too). There have been a few other brands to release models, but Gerber was the big...

Not familiar with that one, but it's an old syle, hopefully not obsolete. Might check with Signcomp for a match. If no one figures it out by Monday when I go in I'll ask the boss. He's pretty good with the old stuff.

Check the cap adjustment first since parts were just replaced, but I'm kinda on the same page as teampix, way too odd to have the same issue happen to two printers at the same time. A while back, can't for the life of me remember which brand, may have even been Mimaki, one batch of ink, one...

Not sure if I'd want it... I'd think you'd almost have to use vinyl with a black adhesive (grey might work) in order for it to be kind of like perf, and allow you to see out the best (and maybe without getting dizzy?). I'd experiment with that a little. Other than that I'm not sure about that...

Affinity Publisher has a preflight tool. I don't use Publisher very often, I could get by with just Designer for my workflow, but when I do use it, preflight pops up every time I export anything. Don't know how in depth it is, or if there's any automation, because I just don't use it that...

The only issue you'd have with Inkscape is it doesn't support CMYK. The fact that it has CMYK color sliders is deceiving, everything it does/ saves/ exports is RGB. If Scribusbor Pitstop doesn't fit the bill, look into Affinity, yes it's pay, but the cost is reasonable, it's powerful, and...

If you want, need, or are set up to do the little one off stuff from walk-in's, more power to ya'. We're all business to business, located in an off the beaten path industrial area, so walk-in's are pretty rare, and it's great for us.
