Thanks guys, appreciate the info. That gives me lots to think about and look into. I get it's kind of like the newbies that come on here and say I wanna start making signs for cheap! Outsource until you can justify proper equipment is usually also my advice/train of thought. I've got almost 20...

We're getting more and more requests for ADA style signs w/ braille and tactile. From my limited knowledge, it seems like laser is the way to go for efficiently cutting tactile etc and I'm looking into a few manufacturers for that. Where I'm falling short is with finding a decent entry-level...

You printed those on your UCJV? That's a pretty impressive finish on those!

I like LMT Onsrud bits. https://www.onsrud.com/articles/Router-Bits-for-the-Sign-Industry.asp Sharbits have some cool kits, but they're definitely not cheap. We bought this one a while back: https://openbuildspartstore.com/3d-sign-maker-deluxe-7-pc-cnc-bit-kit-v1/ We also use a couple of bits...

I would be more concerned about using PVC on an exterior sign, but to answer your original question we would use something like GF 201 HTAP + 3M 8418G for this.

I would have questioned why they're inconsiderately not accommodating small Christians on their pilgrimage and called them out for body shaming.

Hey Craig, what's your website again? I missed it in your last 4 spam posts.

Fire them immediately, and cover your ass legally as much as you can. Make sure you have some sort of plan in place in case they go postal and hope they go away quietly. Good luck, hope everything goes as well as it can.

Interesting. I took one look at it and ran. After using Versaworks and Thrive for 10 years, Rasterlink just seemed very poorly designed, not to mention all the typos and poor translations.

Having used Rasterlink for a week, I would highly recommend considering switching to Onyx and getting an X-rite i1. Rasterlink is an inferior product and I honestly can't believe anyone in any sort of production environment could possibly run a business around it.

The calculators seem like a good idea for laminate etc but getting the printers to count down from a full roll is the easiest/simplest method. We'll just write remaining length on the corner before pulling the media off the printers. Only issue there is that I usually round down and...

Sorry to hear about your troubles with Signvox. We tried it out when they first came out and I'm glad we didn't jump on the bandwagon after the trial, have seen nothing but dissatisfaction related to them over the last couple of years. That said, this topic comes up every so often and it's...

Agreed. You'll get more help here than from a "one and done" dealer any day as long as you can properly explain what's happening. We have a S60600 and (older) Summa S140T and cuts are bang on, as long as job length isn't too crazy. Post more information about what you're trying to do, how...

Not familiar with that film but they likely have a suitable/recommended laminate to pair with. Thin and cast will keep the conformability and will help the job last longer.

I'm not familiar with Flexi, but if you're able to create layouts and proofs, I don't understand how you couldn't just build to scale or scale it up in the same program? There are lots of options when it comes to common design software..........Corel, Adobe, etc. I find Corel to be...

Not to get too side-tracked here, but how does that work with color management and/or cutlines if you're mostly loading TIFF files instead of PDFs?

Design your proof at full scale? Design your proof at 1:10 scale and when approved, select your layout and scale it up to what you need?

Cool story bro. You might want to read the rules: https://www.signs101.com/account/upgrades You'll need a merchant membership if you want to push your services.

Not sure if you came across this thread: https://www.signs101.com/threads/bringing-banner-finishing-in-house.176376/ I've tried asking more of less the same question and didn't get much info. I've scoured the forums and read every thread that has anything to do with banner sewing and still...

The only time we get hang out and wait is the odd contractor that waits for his truck. Even that I don't like, you get to spend a couple of hours listening to them yell on the phone and pace around. Our "showroom/waiting area" is so bare and boring that hopefully it discourages the hang out...
