  5. Help contour cut and gatorfoam

    So, this is the first time I have used Gatorfoam. I designed some signs and sent the cut files to the cutshop. I printed out the contour cut logos to go onto the contour cut foam, but I have to be honest, I have no idea how to line it up to apply to Gatorfoam. Any suggestions?

    OK, let me start with I have 2 dogs in my shop and ask that you please refrain from the "dogs don't belong in a shop or "get rid of the dogs" comments.

    I have been dealing with this for too long. When I go to cut after print it takes like 4 times of not finding the registration dot to finally get it to find it.

    I am using Versaworks and I am doing a personal project. I am making some canvas wall art where it is one picture split into 4 different frames. I want the pictures to be continuous so I know in VW I can overlap, but that overlaps all pieces except the far left corner (beginning) and the end...
  10. Short run MAGNETS

    I have a Versacamm SP540V, but I read on here enough that it is not recommended to use it to contour cut magnet material (does everyone still agree?) So, any advice for magnets that need to be contour cut in a quantity less than 25? They would be approximately 4"x 5" in the shape of a cloud...
  11. Installing Vinyl Glass storefront...

    Sometimes I spend a little too much time making sure my graphic is straight on a window. It doesn't help I will admit I don't have a great eye to line up just on sight alone. I am thinking there is a method (probably pretty simple) that I should be aware of. If it is nice squared or text...

    I was wondering if someone could tell me the best (right) way to attach an aluminum sign (3'x9') to a building with aluminum siding. I would imagine there are some type of brackets or spacers that go between the sign and the siding. I doubt I just screw into siding. Any help is appreciated...
  15. Do you have a dog in your shop?

    OK, maybe a sign shop is not the best place for a pet, but bottom line is, my dog is around here a lot. My question is, I am the only one?

  18. Question about DPI...

    I wanted to cover a wall in my living room and it measures 114" x 87" it is very difficult to find the graphic I want, that big. If I bought a design from a vendor online that was... 3345 x 2675 (8.9 MP) 11.2 '' x 8.9 '' (300 dpi) Would that look terrible to increase to my wall size? Thanks...
  19. Question about finishing BANNERS...

    I was wondering if there is another alternative to finishing banners. Right now I use double stick tape, but I do not like the wrinkles that get in there when you roll it up. I know I can pay someone to hem it, but that is too pricey, is there an option I am missing, or am I doing something...

I got mine from Fellers, I am not sure how many different manufacturers there are but I swear my blades do not last long enough for the little amount of cutting I do.
