We stock 3 different vinyls that we use for most applications Arlon 510MT for our cheap stuff, coro signs, cheap decals, foamcore etc. Arlon 4600 for our longer term stuff, prints on ACM, parking signs etc. GF 201HTAC for our industrial decals that need to stick to anything. We don't do...

I had an older couple come in the shop a few weeks ago, looking for a nice sign for their Nursery (plants, not babies) they wanted something really nice and loved the sandblasted cedar samples I had, I warned them it was expensive and gave them other options, the guy said he wants something...

This is amazing! the complete lack of skill and general knowledge on display in these 3 pictures tells me everything I need to know about the client.

Race car drivers and real estate agents, 2 sides of the same coin

The industry standard is 3m 468 or 467, it's a very thin tape, available in 12" or 24" wide rolls, and is extremely sticky. It works great for bonding letters to flat surfaces (no more texture than painted drywall) Of you want a foam tape, I know gemini used a white VHB tape before they laser...

But what if I'm expecting a package with drugs, money and Fake ID's?

That's certainly an opinion...

There is a pizza shop near me that adds $0.75 per transaction if you pay by card, even debit. In Canada, the debit system is completly seperate from visa/mastercard, and it's a flat rate of $0.06 per transaction, doesn;t matter if it's a $1 sale, or a $40,000 sale it costs 6 cents to process...

Yeah JRS supplies a ton of places, this is going to have a fairly large impact.

Yeah, I recently bid an existing client for removing 2 existing backlit faces, they were moving out and told me head office would not allow them to just flip the faces around, they needed new panels so it didn't show through when it was lit (very large insurance company) It required a bucket...

I use ecut, it works great and is way underpriced for what it does. However, if you are ok with using a separate program, deepnest.io is free and does a good job as well.

If the client has the budget, phototex opaque is the way to go, but if not I've had really good results with drytac retac, it's got a thick very tacky adhesive that is also very removable.

What's the point of cleaning it exactly?

Also, if you want a good source for knives for this machine, check out https://www.china-oyea.com/index.php?classid=408 I get all of my blades from them, summa wants $120 CAD for a heavy duty knife, I get them for $6 each and the quality is identical.

I get my router bits from betterbits.ca they are good and not super expensive. We do route acm with vinyl applied, but we generally premask it first to avoid scratches from the dust boot. I found adhesive build up can come from a dull bit, sharp bits very rarely get build up.

If you are using the router you will not be able to get 2 24" wide pieces from a 48" sheet, you loose the kerf of the router bit, however there are some options. For 3mm pvc, if your signs are square, cut them with the heavy duty knife, this has no kerf. Because the summa doesn't have a "home"...

I've owned 2 Mac laptops in my life about 15 years ago, back when ipods were the new thing, both crashed more than any computer I've ever used. I've also had some crappy windows computers in my day. I bought a lenovo ThinkPad for my day to day computer, at the time it was around $2000, but its...

I don;t know how I would respond if a client wanted me to look at his semi
