  1. Should a city regulate numbers by type of biz?

    Forcing low and middle income Americans to cover the losses of rich bankers and wealthy investors sounds like Socialism.... actually it IS socialism, just ass backwards socialism. Socialism is all about trying to re balance the incomes of society as a whole... you don't want huge swathes of...
  2. Wanting to build a thermoforming machines vacuum forming machines

    8ft x 18ft??!!! At that size your are talking about an EPIC amount of heating elements and truly horrific power consumption. We fabricated our own machine which heats a pretty big surface area.... so I thought. Compared to what you are proposing it appears our machine little more than a kitchen...
  3. I hate some customers

    Bog standard vinyl from the sound of it.... round these parts translucent Navy vinyl lights up.... navy.
  4. So....has anybody ever...

    Wait until you get ANPR... you're screwed. Cameras take a nice picture of the driver and snatch an image of the licence plate.... your licence number is instantly checked against a cr@p load of databases.... If you have no driving licence it shows up. If you don't have any road tax it shows...
  5. What Would You Do?

    What? What? What? Doug, you are a linguistic Black Belt, I've been reading this fricking paragraph for 15 minutes and still have absolutely NO idea what it means?????
  6. Who makes or what to get? .020 white SP300V printable plastic sheets things?!!

    2mm clear or White acrylic. PETG & styrene are both great materials but I'd be worried about using materials with no UV stability.. which is exactly the category that PETG & styrene both fall into. Reprinting hundreds of panels because the first batch Yellowed doesn't sound like fun.
  7. Nissan logo - Formed plastic question

    Get some circles fabricated out of marine grade 316 mirror stainless steel... if your customer wants shiny Chrome then this type of stainless is hard to beat. Have your circles fabricated with a shallow side return and you'll have enough cavity space to stick in the led's or neon to create your...
  8. What a way to start off the week *RANT*

    What? Spread the good word that you're prepared to work below cost and at 10 minutes notice? If a job ain't worth doing it ain't worth doing.... sugar coating it with dreams of bigger, better jobs never works.. you just get more of the same unprofitable "I need it now" cr@p. Chaotic customers...
  9. Signlab 9.0!!!!!!

    The small answer is NO. If you get on the Corel "bus" you can easily afford to keep upgrading... the move from v12 to x4 was something like £170..... with none of that stupid dongle malarky to worry about. V12 was the best Corel version for a long time.... X4 has more things which might...
  10. Need some help with this

    Know your limits... Until you can construct a good looking website without obsolete table layouts and which lack nice image content and informative content I wouldn't waste time shooting for the moon.... Android & Ipad software won't like your table layouts so it's pointless going any further...
  11. Graphix Unlimited Sign

    You'd better get 3m's lawyers on the phone and ask them exactly what kind or financial backing they are prepared to give you in the event of a failure. Scrub that, save the cost of the call, I can tell you exactly how much money and effort 3m will put into helping you out..... zero. Many moons...
  12. Graphix Unlimited Sign

    It won't. I don't know much about Canada but I do know it gets frickin cold in winter.... double sided tapes hate the cold... put two and two together and you get a sign on the pavement.
  13. Why learn to spell? Or can you?

    Tires= Tyres Color= Colour Defense= Defence Globalization= Globalisation Maths or Mathematics, never, ever Math. (you cannot abbreviate a plural using a singular). Z= pronounced zed not zee. You are required to use z very infrequently, zoo, zebra, zoom and not much more. When using a plural the...
  14. over size alumalite

    The biggest we can get is a 4m x 2m sheet. Colour choice is limited to White and you have to order it well in advance.

    Didn't think you were supposed to install any vinyl when it's less that +5c ?
  16. Absentee owner

    Maybe Jewish folk have heard about Mr Kim's "interesting" approach to bicycle maintenance & servicing?
  17. wait a minute thats my sign....

    +1 For all the huffing and puffing we don't actually have any proof that this sign really isn't the OP's original product with a $hitty bit of PVC stuck underneath by someone else. This Adtech chap doesn't trust the OP yet bizarrely takes everything the second sign shop say as gospel. "an...
  18. wait a minute thats my sign....

    Hello Tim, We did not make the original sign. I did make a replacement sign as if it was the original but I can't seem to find a side by side photo of the original & my replacement. The original sign was quite weather damaged, but this isn't really relevant because it was over 10 year old, I'm...
  19. Mutoh new ink disaster

    What's so hard about employing a couple of experienced sign makers and giving them access to the latest equipment and revised ink formulas? If Mutoh want to avoid these expensive and damaging c0ck ups the solution is pretty simple..... scrape the cr@p out of a corner of your warehouse, install...
  20. how does the "little guy" compete

    What? I thought you were a Soya farmer with a government subsidy? Must be very hard to run a sign business when you've got farming to cover the overheads... or do you actually own a proper factory building for your sign business rather than a shack in the farmyard?
