Isn't ACM what caused the fast spread of that large apartment building fire a few years ago in the UK? AFAIK, the epcot ball is clad with ACM

I try to implement free or cheap options on the front end and no subscriptions. Once you get going on a system, it's really hard to change and takes a ton of time. Quickbooks taught me that lesson and I get more and more irritated with that whole situation as time goes on. It's hard to switch...

That's exactly why people don't switch. They generally started with a particular software or system for ease and compatibility and it becomes entrenched in their operation. Then when people are reliant on it, like with illustrator, they change the terms so you either deal with it or are forced...

Installation, big signs or big machines if you're a 1 man show. IMO, 500k is a lot of work for 1 person in an average retail sign shop

It's ludicrous what these companies are doing now and even more so that they get away with it. These guys will beat you with money whether you are right or not. As much as I am for the free market, it'd be nice to see some more antitrust suits unfold to level out the playing field. Things are...

This won't be very helpful but I find it easier to tile in the design than in RL. Could you try putting everything on a single layer before exporting or have I missed the issue?

we went from 3165RA to 3755 a few years ago for general use. Not 1 issue (except FedEx damage) and their customer service is great. Also switched from 3551 to IJ40 when Oracal prices went crazy then kept getting blotchy prints on 3M and switched that to Substance 275 with 8518 laminate. It...

C'mon Netsol, memes have words too.

I wonder what would happen to AI if large numbers of people uploaded pictures to various places with totally unrelated tags and file names on them. Junk in junk out.

Yup, wouldn't even ask the question. Attitude is everything

At least they didn't start grabbing things and offer to help, that's another charge.

Tell him you ran out of the cheap stuff and used the expensive clear shield but aren't charging him any extra for it.

its no rush, I was just passing by. Should I wait here while you make it?

Cheap is a relative term, everyone is cheap to a certain extent. Push overall value over price, that is really what most people are after. Price seems to be more of a factor when you are comparing options like a flat sign face screwed vs flat sign with hidden fasteners vs a cabinet vs a routed...

080 is stocked white on white but you can use mill finish as well. Aluminum holds screws better and has more resistance to tear out from the wind. We always try to use aluminum for signs going on buildings because of this, I don't want one of our signs flying off in a bad storm and causing...

There's a federal color standard (595C) for the Navy, you may be able to ask them for it and cross convert it to a usable format like RGB https://www.federalstandardcolor.com/ https://www.e-paint.co.uk/lab-hlc-rgb-lrv-values.asp This explains what the standards mean...

If you needed a black substrate, I'd use 080 aluminum. AFAIK, the finish is baked enamel and holds up well. ACM is generally a cheap substrate IMO

I remember switching employeers and being able to wear jeans instead of khakis. So nice, haven't wore a pair in 20 years. I hate khakis and tucking in my shirt.

Paint it. Cheaper, will look better, last longer and you won't end up with white areas where it can't be wrapped. We have painted a lot of vehicles that were wrapped, sun destroyed it (especially hoods and roofs) and the vinyl couldn't be reasonably removed without damaging the finish...
