  1. Sops or Work instruction Help

    I've often thought it would be nice to get my hands on FastSigns training and on boarding documents, I imagine they are really good at getting someone with no experience up and making something that resembles a sign pretty quickly. I've started making SOP's at our shop about a year ago when I...
  2. 3D Printed Dimensional Letters

    Yes it will
  3. Adhesive for Brick

    Use a polyurethane construction adhesive, but you will need to use something to hold it in place for 24 hours while it dries, VHB tape works well
  4. How is this made

    Lol, it took me a few minutes to figure out what you are talking about with the screw, you Americans and your inferior Phillips screws, Robertson square heads all day long!
  5. Advice on application tables

    I've had an application table for 10 years now, it's the most idiot-proof machine in the shop, I routinely have our bookeeper/office manager mount graphics with it without issue.
  6. Opinion 3D Printed Channel Letters

    Not to mention time, 3D printing is excruciatingly slow, you would need weeks just to print a single job! Don't get me wrong, I love 3D printers, I bought a small one for use around the shop to print jigs and fixtures, but if I had to charge machine time on it a simple print would cost...
  7. Corridor Blade Sign Bracket

    This is usually my go to as well, but it looks like this unicorn of a bracket has a slot that fits into a grove in the sign, and a set screw on the back to eliminate all visible fasteners. If you got this job from an architect, kick it back to them and tell them you have never seen this bracket...
  8. Cleaning windows with window perf

    I can't imagine the thought process and mental gymnastics your client went through to think this is in any way your fault. The pesticide company has certainly come across another business with window perf before, common sense would dictate that spraying a chemical on window graphics may cause...
  9. "No More Walk-ins" - Good Idea, or Terrible Mistake?

    If you do, can you get this guy to answer the phone?
  10. Mimaki 3D printed replacement parts

    The Epson exhausts the air along the entire back of the printer, I have an exhaust fan behind the printer, but it's not connected to the printer, It definitely helps, but I can still smell it during heavy print days.
  11. "No More Walk-ins" - Good Idea, or Terrible Mistake?

    Some definitely do, I know 4over has a retail site that sells at pretty much the same "wholesale" pricing as we get.
  12. "No More Walk-ins" - Good Idea, or Terrible Mistake?

    I'm toying with this myself currently, we started off as an engraving shop, and as such we get walk-ins looking to get their fishing trophy engraved, or a charcuterie board engraved etc. these are all usually 1 off customers who I will never see again, we have a $25 engraving minimum order...
  13. Suggestions Epson S80670 or S40600 or something else?

    I remember reading this 7+ years ago when we got our S80600 and i was freaking out that i just bought a machine that was not suitable for our needs. So I printed a few 12" squares of solid red, orange & CMYK, I installed 1 set on the roof of my building, facing up at the sky, 1 set on my back...
  14. Screenprint and Embroidery Shop... gcc Puma IV, looking to get into printed stickers!

    I have a 63" printer and even I don't print banners in house, I send them to a wholesaler, who prints, hems and grommets it at a price that allows me to 3x-4x their price to my customer.
  15. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    We were told that subscription software would allow the developers to put out patches and updates more frequently and not have to wait for major updates, but this is not the case with onyx. Subscription software is horrible for the consumer, there is no incentive for the software companies to...
  16. CNC issues cutting Dibond / ACM

    All of the conveyor based cutters use a sacrificial mat for routing to avoid this, we switched from the foam mat on our summa f1612 to 6mm thick MDF and it works better than the foam.
  17. CNC issues cutting Dibond / ACM

    That's odd, with an upcut bit, the side facing the bed of your machine should be perfect because the bit is sheering that side. A few things to check: 1 is the bit sharp? 2 are you cutting in the correct direction? We find climb cutting works best for ACM 3 are you getting enough vacuum hold...
  18. Screenprint and Embroidery Shop... gcc Puma IV, looking to get into printed stickers!

    I'm not a huge fan of roland, however their little desktop solvent machine sounds like what you need, it prints on 20" media, and has a cutter built in. Keep in mind it is extremely slow, but as an entry level machine for decals it sounds like a winner...
  19. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    This is not the issue I have, my issue is if I need to print say 500 copies of something and set my page length to say 96", onyx will nest the files and it should generate a cut file that it send to cut server for each 96" page, however onyx is not generating a unique summa barcode for each...
