I would say it's foamed PVC, something like Sintra or Komacel

Check with multicam about what they recommend, you can install something like what was posted, or you can get a $200 inline air dryer, it all depends how sensitive the machine is to moisture.

I agree with you, the frame needs to be made from steel, where on earth are you going to find 20 foot PT 6x6s that are even remotely straight? I would explain to the client that at the end of the day you are the one liable for this sign, not them, and you are not comfortable putting it up...

Is its individual cut letters, the vinyl is actually protecting the glass so when it's removed you can see where it's been. I've seen the same with unlaminated perf.

Also, most clients lie about deadlines, if they need it for the 15th, they tell you they need it on the 3rd, usually when you have a conversation with them this becomes clear, and those that don't, they can become someone else's problem

What kind of magical world do you live in? All my need it now types are now need it yesterday types! Covid has become the newest excuse "we didn't want to pull the trigger until we were 100% certain it was moving forward with covid and all" is mentioned to me weekly now.

In regards to your original question, I would send an email to your 2 clients plus the landlord, tell them that the following modifications need to be done at a cost of $xxx, who should you make the invoice out to? Let them figure it out and get back to you. I would say the landlord should...

I've also never heard of Pantone matched acrylic, the colours are very basic (white, black, red, blue, yellow) and vary between manufacturers. I'm sure they will make you whatever colour you want if you commit to buying 10 skids of the stuff and can wait for 6 months. Sounds like a case of...

did you say 15 thousand pounds?!?! no way in hell it's worth that much! it came free on our machine.

Just reprint it on the correct material, chalk it up to a cheap lesson learned about asking more questions or doing a site visit before starting. Adding wallpaper paste to SAV is asking for trouble

What is it about setting up a proper CutContour line that some clients find so difficult? I've sent youtube videos showing exact step by step instructions, I still get files back with 6 pt cmyk lines. These are "graphic designers" so it really shouldn't be difficult for them to do. Normally I...

We outsource a bunch of UV prints signs on ACM, and while I don't notice a smell, one of our employees breaks out in hives all over her arms if she has to handle them, not sure why, but it doesn't affect me so now I get to do the packaging lol.

when you start cutting thicker acrylic and you are trying to get perfect edges, the biggest issue is vibration, and in my opinion the summa machine just isn't beefy enough compared to a regular CNC router to eliminate those vibrations, even with the HF router, plus since it's all conveyor belt...

I see 2 yard signs in the video, that's $50 right there!

Under the finishing tab, there is a "generate cut line" feature, you can add it around the perimeter, behind a bleed etc. it only does square cuts but it's very useful

When we made the switch from Versaworks to Onyx I really didn't "get" onyx either, i was expecting an amazing program for $2500! It took me a while, but I wouldn;t go back to versaworks now, the automation and ease of use in onyx are far superior to versaworks in every way. the ability to add...

sounds like someone is getting a little hot under the collar...

We've had a 1612 for about 1.5 years now, we use onyx, but I assume caldera is similar. When you select the summa as a cutter in onyx, it automatically puts the barcode and crop marks in the file, when you load it on the cutter, it scans the barcode and pulls the correct file and starts...

My gut instinct, if you are having the same issues with multiple different vendors, the common denominator is you. Now don't take that the wrong way, but something you are doing isn't working with their systems and workflow, are you sending a single concise email with all the needed files, or...

Good luck, as mentioned, can you use another brand? Around here there in no cast vinyl except Arlon SLX+
