Wow, that is a painful problem. You have learned on lesson about those types of faces, better to be a little loose than too tight. Was every one tight? Not sure what your solution will be, you can try removing and reinstalling the trimcap. I might have tried slightly bending the edge of the can...

I have no idea what that equipment is but I would try a roll of paint mask.

Yep, what's the point? To make a "vandal proof" sign? If the purpose of the lexan is to protect the sign there are always issues with how to make it work. Condensation, dirt, insects can all get between the two faces. I have found that the best option it to leave a wide gap using some kind of...

Ha! I had a close one called "Grumpy"! Thanks Fred!

Thought I had it, many similar but none the same....font sites got me close but still no match. Thanks for any suggestions.

Nope, in your neck of the woods that would be the hourly charge if they did the cutting too.

Yea, that's an unusual arrangement. Usually I would think the company would be willing to cut material for a fee rather than rent out a piece of equipment. You can buy a decent used one for a few grand.

Maybe because your name is "mykoolspam" and nobody knows wth "fulfillment on Channel Letters" means. Want fulfillment go to Tibet and fast for a month with a monk, want some channel letters built and/or installed talk like a sign shop, there's lots of wholesalers out there.

Try a prime coat of white a spectratone white/white

You can try looking on line for tutorials. The "123" icon both in the design window and the plot window allows you to change the order of the colors printing. Choke Spread works by selecting the two objects you want to apply it to then click choke/spread and set the amount of overlap you want...

Do you have to use a Gerber? It may be easier to get a different plotter.

Could be the vinyl "squeeges", chrome is really sensitive. Try wrapping some transfer tape over the squeeqes to see if it helps. And be sure there's no dust on the material and the printhead is clean.

You have to know what the material is in order to pick the right way to do the job. And painting may be the only way to make it work.

oops, well that can happen, but I still think it could have been a binding cartridge that worked itself out.

He didn't say he underbid it, he said he bid it right, the other place overbid. And then accommodated a rush job by putting it ahead of their project already in the works. All sounds reasonable and profitable.

Could be the cartridge binding up.

Should last longer that that. Like you said even my aqueous HP prints will last longer than that

Yes, Interior use right? Why brush or roller. If the edges are like gatorfoam spraying is really best. We paint gatorfoam with our HVLP and latex. You could rent a sprayer at the paint store, HD or Lowes. If I had to do anything else I'd use a roller, roll the edges and then the face. Wipe off...

I agree, some simple masonry anchors and screws. We would use brass or stainless screws with matching finish washers. It's a good idea that they can be easily removed for changes or when the wall gets painted.

Actually I thought I got an email and it was on their website that they were open Monday July 3 and closed Wednesday July 5? So they're open today? I guess it's production that is closed today. In any case the rudeness was uncalled for and I hope you got her name so you can let someone else know.
