  1. Best drill bit for acrylic and polycarbonate?

    For the record, I tried using various step bits in a few scenarios that are normally problematic. The step bits worked very well. Thanks for the tips.
  2. Doing some basic web design services

    ^^ What they said. Not a drop a flash. Way to jump to conclusions. No disrespect, or thread hijacking, but I gotta wonder if it took long to load for you, what type of device where you viewing it on. Looks like original poster knows his way around a wp template and css. Creativo s a pretty...
  3. Best drill bit for acrylic and polycarbonate?

    I must politely disagree with your first statement sir. I could bang in some brads with the heel of my boot. I could cut my porterhouse with the same blade I use to butter my roll. Then I could use the same blade to tighten up the hinges on the shop door. I think you get my point. What I meant...
  4. Best drill bit for acrylic and polycarbonate?

    +1 for this. Proper tool to do the job properly. I like these over the step bits because once the place the point, its set. The bit wont dance around and leave scuffs around the hole (make you own joke there). Good for when you need to put stand offs in a part but need to keep the rest of the...
  5. cPanel vs Plesk

    Hello All, So I am having to re-provision my server to take advantage of some new updates. I have to choose between these control panels. I've been using Plesk since forever. And I like it. I tried cPanel once be that was years again. But the experience was pretty bleh. Now I'm having to...
  6. Where to sell a used printer

    I agree with the thoughts on CL. But don't sleep on using eBay. You can change your listing to "Local Pick Up Only". That way you get more reach/exposure. Then if the buyer is determined, they will make there way to you some how. I sold a old HP on eBay once. Out of state person bought it, then...
  7. Translucent Outdoor media

    Not to belabor the point here but I have to ask: If I don't use the reverse clear layer on the backside, won't the colors look washed out (when lit at night) with out the double pass? I guess it would depend on which view is more important to the client. I can see how all the other parts you...
  8. Translucent Outdoor media

    Thanks for the tips Mike! Much appreciated. Any notes the process? I normally do a double pass for back lit prints. Should I assume the same with these products? Any issues using these to print/lam/contour cut?

    bump for the morning crowd.
  10. 2015 Poll on sign estimating/production software

    QuickBooks > Cyriuos > Casper > SignVOX > QuickBooks. As an end user and a trainer for most of the above. But when it come down to it, for me, its pencil paper ans QB all the way. Nothing beats a paper trail. Yet.
  11. Translucent Outdoor media

    Yes. It was totally cured and laminated... Not wanting to embarrass myself any more, let's just leave it at this : It was the wrong media. I warned my team on what would happen. It was not a question of "if", It was a question of "when". But I just draw pictures and push buttons... Sometimes...
  12. Translucent Outdoor media

    Hi All, Happy new year! Welcome back to work! Any recommendations on an eco-solvent printable adhesive back digital media for outdoor use? It is going to be used on light box faces, channel letter faces etc. So I would assume the specs I'm look for are: 6+ year out door life. Cast Clear...

  15. First real vacation... ever.

    Merry Christmas All, I hope none of actually read this today. I hope all of you have the opportunity to disconnect and, for at least a day, and focus on time with your family and loved ones. Unless, one of your gifts is some new toy in your shop and you are on the net looking up details. Why...
  16. What would YOU do with the money?

    This brings up another tangent. I totally agree with the the idea of pay once and owning the product. But as far as CC files not opening properly in earlier versions, I have to ask why you are having issues. The only reason why a CC file would not open properly in CSX is if there is some crazy...
  17. Channel Letters and upright inches

    There is no magic formula. Upright inch is just that; vertical height of the letter. So a 12" tall basic Arial Letter "A". Lets say $5 an upright inch would be $60. In the case of a logo or shape that is wider the it is tall, take the same math and and use the width instead of height.
  18. Perferated reversve print and stick is it possible?

    This is exactly what I did. Built a custom pattern with illustrator (CS6). It still moved slow. Even before I expanded the fill. Which I had to do. I had to do it this way to make a mask out of the dot pattern. I had to make sure the dots were voids and not just white. Because the image...
  19. Perferated reversve print and stick is it possible?

    Print on clear. What I have done is this: Busted out the micrometer and measured the holes and spacing. Used these measurements to design a pattern that matched the perf hole size/density I needed. Printed the image, face down on clear (Flatbed). Then printed another pass in black only. Has...
