  1. braille signs

    Hi there, I'm having trouble finding someone to do some laser engraving and braille for signs. Does anyone know of a place that will do laser engraved signs with braille if needed. I'm in Las Vegas, NV so it would be nice if it's close to our area.
  2. Rail cutter

    I'm thinking of getting a Fletcher rail cutter. It says it cuts all the same materials as the vertical cutter but I'm wondering if anyone has any input on them. I cut a lot of 3/16" Ultra board. Are these any good?
  3. Sewing banners

    Thanks for this! Can I ask you for some specific brands and models that you would suggest. I've been looking and it's getting overwhelming. I saw the Atlas AT1560 double needle and it looked great but I have a budget of $3k and it's kind of pushing it. I'll be feeding lengths of 10'-15' at a...
  4. Banner welding

    I just posted a question asking about a good double needle walking foot machine. We've never sewn before but one of our customers is requiring it on all their jobs. It looks like we're going to have to start. I saw Atlas and Juki machines and they both looked good. Any input would help.
  5. Sewing banners

    We are going to start sewing banners because a customer requires Keder to be sewn onto the edge of the banner. I'm hoping I can get some input on what machine will work best. I have a picture attached and it looks like they have 4 rows of stitching holding this keder in place because it gets...
  6. Banner welding

    I would think so too, but I searched the forum and nothing came up.
  7. Banner welding

    I'm in the market for a banner hem welder and saw the Miller Weldmaster at the sign show a couple years ago. Just wondering if anyone has any input on these systems or if you can suggest anything better or comparable.
  8. Best 126" printer

    I do like the Mimaki. Do you know any average operating expenses for it? Ink cost?
  9. Best 126" printer

    Wow, thanks for this valuable info. The Mimaki seems like the best value. Do you know of any cons to this? Also, does anyone know the ink cost to run this one. The HP Latex is saying .10-.20 per sf. I checked out the Fuji Acuity and it does look like the same printer as the Mimaki. Do you...
  10. Best 126" printer

    I'm looking for a 10' printer, but the only one I see so far is the HP Latex 1500. It has about a 20' footprint and was wondering if anyone else has a good 10' printer that has a little smaller footprint.
  11. Large frosted vinyl

    I'm installing a 45x94 piece of frosted vinyl that has a logo cut out of the center that's 18"x36". Should I transfer tape the whole piece or just the logo area in the center? It's bfree frosted vinyl from Mactac if that makes a difference.
  12. Best UV Flatbed out

    Yep, I'm starting my homework now. Any other printers in the running for this price range, speed and quality? I'd like to be able to print white and spot uv like my last printer too.
  13. Best UV Flatbed out

    That's still awesome. I'm hoping they'll have one at the next sign show that comes close to Las Vegas.
  14. Best UV Flatbed out

    Bulk of our work is print and mount on foam or sintra. We go through a lot of vinyl and laminate each week.
