    Happy Holidays Everyone: Does anyone have a CutWorx Eclipse Digital Die Cutter? I am looking at the 3547. If you have thoughts on overall quality, functionality, and value for your money— i would sincerely appreciate your help. I am also considering comparable products: SinaJet MT 1007 and...
  2. Costing Spreadsheet

    Hi Evan… it is extraordinarily generous of you to share your quoting spreadsheet. I tried using the updated link and OneDrive shows that “this link may no longer be available”. Would it be possible for you to share it again? If it makes it easier, you are welcome to email it to me directly...
  3. Best adhesive to attach polycarbonate sheets to PVC fence

    Are you concerned about long-term wear and tear? UV Exposure (cracking, fogging). Hard Water Spot Etching (rain, sprinklers, splashing from pool[?]). Just throwing this out there for consideration.
  4. Help? Photoshop layered T-shirt, premade for online examples etc

    Looks like the T-Shirt image is high-resolution (300 dpi) and the graphic you are imprinting is low-resolution (72 dpi). When you import the graphic to overlay on the shirt, do you have to enlarge it quite a bit so the scale is right? If my assumption is accurate, you could scale down the...
  5. Good source for large work tables?

    We use these work tables from Grainger. They have an infinite selection of sizes and add-ons such as shelves, drawers, lights, etc. https://www.grainger.com/product/BENCHPRO-Workbench-12V512
  6. Halloween fun

    Damn… great job. I guess you have a fallback if the day job doesn’t work out. Thanks for sharing.
  7. How do you categorize and/or organized your samples?

    I think when Phil says samples, what he means is a printed proof the customer has approved. Phil - I think you will need to find a common size to trim your proofs to keep for storage and future reference— managing different size rolls and sheets is an exercise in frustration. We tried flat...
  8. Question source for A frame signs

    I highly recommend Displays Market. I researched this to death before offering this to my clients. They have built-a-better mouse trap with their SignPro A-Frame Message Board (vs. Signicade). Clean and contemporary design. Doesn’t need flame treatment for PSA vinyl. And best of all— it has...
  9. Outdoor Use--> Mesh Banner on Retractable Banner Stand (?)

    Evening All; I have a hospital that needs a signage solution outside their ER ASAP. They currently have A-Frames and need something that will stand out and get noticed. I'm limited on what I can offer with a 24 hour turn. No place to hang a banner or install a banner stand. Whatever I...
  10. Cutting software for Mac

    If your fonts are .ps (postscript) format, you need to convert them to .ttf truetype to work properly on windows. There are a number of online converters. This is the one I use: https://convertio.co/ps-ttf/. This is not always 100% effective. Every now and again I get a font or font family...
  11. Cutting software for Mac

    I would recommend looking into Sure Cuts a Lot Pro. Although this is tpically a consumer software product, the PRO version is very powerful and works seamlessly with Adobe Illustrator. SCAL has a AI plugin that exports the file as a SVG and opens it into SCAL. There are a a limited number of...
  12. Question Favorite Font

    Yes, I can easily pick one. Universe. I’ve been using it as my preferred sans-serif typeface for the entirety of my 35 year career as a Creative Director. Easy to read. Kerns beautifully either manually or optically. Has a myriad of widths from Ultra Condensed to Extra-Bold Extended. Works...
  13. Cutting Magnetic material

    Hi - I have a ROLAND VG640 and a SUMMA T2 OPOS CAM and do a lot of custom magnets of every size and shape you can imagine. I think the best method for custom shaped magnets is a flatbed uv printer with a flatbed CNC. But I don’t have either of those and below is what works for me. How you print...
  14. Need Help Plastic Husky Bins + Signs

    With people putting their shoes in and out, the sign will be hit constantly. Even if the styrene holds-up, it will have to be cleaned on a regular basis. I would recommend a solution that mounts the sign above the bin— so the shoes do not come into contact with it. You might be able to just...
