I agree as I said before, we use Flexi 99% of the time. While we do have illy, corel and photoshop;we use them only when needed generally just to double check files that we suspect might not have opened correctly. Or on the occasional design that has no logical groupings and 5 billion objects...
Depending on the city regulations, it might be either engineer grade reflective or high intensity prismatic reflective vinyl. You can get both from most distributors.
We use flexi and have for the past 9 years. While we have illustrator, I have only needed to use it a handful of times to be able to open a customers artwork. Generally if you have the customer/customers designer/whoever save it as an eps file as opposed to ai then it will open 99% of the...
Is it over a flat surface or really contoured? do you have a picture of what you are going to be covering? I have on one occasion taken app tape and put it down onto a pretty much flat surface, traced design with a pencil or pen, pulled the tape off carefully and then laid it down onto my...
We have used the knifeless tape on several jobs. Some very similar to what you are proposing. From my use of the tape, I do not think that it will leave as clean an edge. I have Oracal 351 chrome and the tape in stock. Just did a test piece and it cut like crap. Jagged edges and actual...
I have not used Onyx so I can't say much to it. I used Omega when I got into signs years ago and the shop I work at now uses FlexisignPro. As with all programs there are pros and cons. I will have to say that I overall I have been pleased with Flexi. As was pointed out it does a little bit...
We are seeing it more and more ourselves. Biggest one we see is realtors who don't get back to us with needed info or who wait for a while to even start talking to us. Then we get a phone call from the Head honcho asking if we don't want to do their signs anymore. We have one group who we...
TAKE THE SCREWS OUT!!! We always do and leave them original color. I tell our customer how that is the first part to come up, wear out etc. We tell them we will not warranty the parts of the vinyl over the screws. Every customer except one has been happy and agreed with us when we took the...
Gino is right. There can be lots of problems with trying to do that. While we have sold several used signs over the years, we typically only resale old signs that were originally built and installed by us. That way we know what we are getting, how old the sign is, condition, etc. But hey if...
Also with the thicker/heavier materials you sometimes have to slow the speed down so that you get less slippage from the pinch rollers when moving. Just make sure that you do some test cuts after changing the speed. Typically the blade pressure has to be adjusted slightly when changing the...
We have found several of our needed parts on ebay, some from digiprint. I will see if I can find one. I am going to email you a parts manual for the machine we have. It should have the part numbers you need to try to search for it.
