That is a slick trick and we have used it in the past (ours was 12" X 1" and printed like a yellow ruler) but that method is not always very accurate. Some doors have a lot of curvature and the piece is small compared to the size of the vehicle, it leaves lots of room for error. Much better to...

I would request photos and measurements of each side. They can vary quite a bit and you don't want to guess and end up doing it over. I say to check both sides because some have a small window on the passenger side at the bottom of the door. You might find a template if you know the make...

I have one too. Summa makes the best cutters, IMO.

I did that as well, great machine! Lenovo P-51, I think it is, not the best one they offer but much faster than any Mac I have ever had. Even the old cheese grater with 128 GB of RAM and a solid-state internal drive couldn't keep up. I can't say that I recall any crashes from the Lenovo in the...

Anything worth doing is worth doing right!

A Mac WILL run HP Latex if you have the Caldera RIP installed. You will need your "shit ton of money" to pay for it, though. I used that setup for a while but Flexi on a PC works much better.

I built this table several years ago. All welded steel with locking scaffold wheels. The main rails are 5" channels which keep it perfectly flat. It's 5' X 12' and has been fitted with a 1" MDF top and Rhino self-healing mat. We then mounted a 12' Keen Cut Evolution benchtop trimmer to one...

I thought the topic was "Anybody use Mac?"

Thank you for your valuable contribution to this thread! It's this kind of useful information that keeps me coming back. Great forum!

Exactly the point I was making!

I was all Mac for years. They are beautiful and sexy and incredible pieces of technology and when paired with Adobe CC purely elegant design tools. BUT! they have no place in the sign industry beyond graphic design. Try to run a plotter or a RIP (screw Caldera! overpriced junk!) Try to run a CNC...

We use a Swiffer!

Maybe if they would stop convicting police officers for doing their jobs one of them would have had the balls to do the right thing and drop the piece of shit in his tracks.

Rubber stencil is used for sandblasting and paint does build up along the edge. However, it can usually be easily trimmed off when dried with a plastic scraper and a bit of skill or even your fingernail or a stiff bristle brush. Pre-finishing the surface before blasting will save you a lot of...

I'm in Bemidji and could possibly help if you still need some. Hit me up.

I have a VP-540 with two bad heads, otherwise fully operational and in good condition, which I would like to get rid of. I'd make you a heck of a deal!

Here's another thought. Why would you want any sign you sell to last more than 5 years? That is plenty long enough for the incredibly high value a sign provides the buyer. Say you charge $500 for a 4'X8' sign. That's less than $10 a month for the best advertising money can buy. You would be...

Can't believe you people are even having this conversation. It's like "Do you varnish your house after you paint it? Get a new installer ASAP!

I already suggested that.
