We need a couple parts for our 410 that we bought used a couple years ago. I really don't want to spend five grand with CCI just for them to tell me that the parts will be another five grand. I would have thought there would be some other previously-departed units out there I could scavenge...

Would you want to sell some parts off that 410? We need a couple specific parts and I'd rather buy used. I really don't want to pay CCI five grand just for them to tell me the couple parts we need are another four grand, you know?

¿Todavía sabe dónde podría comprar piezas para un 410?

It's used equipment. And it's coming from Canada into the States. I would assume Customs can be an equal hassle going either way, tho.

I'm looking at buying some equipment to bring back into the States. I know there are forms and declarations and Customs and such. But has anyone actually done this themselves and can offer some advice/hints/suggestions? Is it a doable thing for the average, semi-intelligent (I like to think...

I have a job that needs about 20' of orange 1" jewelite and about 10' of yellow. I really hate to order an entire 150' reel of both, knowing I probably won't use any more of it in the next ten years. If you have some and would be willing to ship it to me, I'd be glad to buy it. Thanks in advance.

We're a full-service shop, and we currently build our channel letters by hand. I'd like to move up to an auto bender, but $45-50k for a new machine is a pretty serious whack. I've done some research into brands, specs and such, and it seems that AccuBend is one of the top lines out there...

Could I print blue onto regular window perf and apply that to the faces? I've got regular perf we use on windows in stock. Is there a difference between that and "dual-color film"? Physically, it looks the same...it's all just perforated vinyl?

Just called Fellers and they don’t carry the blue. They only have the black. I may just have to eat a full 10 yards.

I looked on eBay and Amazon and can’t find any of the blue. I didn’t realize Fellers sold bythe yard. I’ll call them.

I've got a customer wanting to use blue day/night vinyl on the faces of white acrylic channel letters. The letters aren't very large, and would only take about 3-4 yards of the vinyl to cover them, but the smallest roll I can find available is a 48"x 10 yd roll. In all the years we've been...

Yes, I design on my iMac usually in Illustrator but some in Photoshop. The files are ripped and printed through Flexi Production Manager on a PC to the 1624. I’ve been in the design industry for the better part of 25 years, done lots of design for brochures and such, and been in the large...

I use an iMac for design, and we have a PC running Flexi and Production Manager and then a VJ-1624. I'm trying to find a way to be more consistent with colors across machines. We seem to get a lot of color shift between my monitor and the production system monitor and the printer, so I'm...

We did some small panels to slide into a reader board for a local fast-food franchise. They're both on 3/16 clear acrylic with printed/lam'd clear graphics backed with white translucent for their social media logos and then plain black cut vinyl for the outside. The breakfast one is...

I know there are several sites where they have contract templates and you can put in specifics. I've used a couple of those, but my concern is not knowing what I don't know...things that I might not think of to include in there, but that people with years in the biz WOULD...like repossession of...
