Basic premise is that SHEET1 is a simple pricing tool and uses a dropdown field with vlookup to pull in pricing from the table in SHEET2, if this sounds complicated its really not, but you may want to stick with something even more basic.
Yeah, just thought there used to be an option to attach native files...thought I shared a flexi file before.
Here it is:

This will only be useful to those who are fairly competent with excel and using formulas. Material pricing catalog...
I have a generic version of one that I made and have modified for specific common products. Would be glad to share but I don't know how to upload an excel file...
I had a little trouble with availability from the sign suppliers but the big plastics companies didn't seam to have any issues. I ordered 32 sheets of 2mm black komatex (an odd product request in my opinion) and two local warehouses had it in stock (and plenty more). I realize this is different...
Not just 651 either, I believe its affecting all of the cut vinyl lines including some 24". I would try finding all the small sign supply houses throughout the country and buy up what you can find. There are still plenty of small suppliers, some don't even have web stores.
I have had a metallic blue roll on order since march, about a month ago I had my supplier check with oracal and they said all 15" production has been suspended until further notice to try to keep the other production going...
Most metro areas have a few companies that run around placing listing post signs...
For example:

https://inthegroundsigns.com/contact-us in Dallas
Make sense now?
Are you talking about for letterforms? If so I would suggest researching and finding some "alphabets" used by sign painters. Learning a few basic styles and committing them their shapes and attributes to memory will serve you much better in the long run and help with learning design principles...
We never even installed onyx so I don't have a good comparison. It doesn't seam to be fast, but it isn't unbearable either (for most files). When we had a Mutoh and the Epson both set up they would rip at the same speed over ethernet and it seemed a bit slower than over USB to the old mutoh 1324.
Another option might be coastal tfs-45, its designed to go straight onto hdu so I don't know if it would grab acp or aluminum without a good bonding primer applied. From the video it looks like you could get whatever finish you want from it. Actually, adding a 1/2" panel of hdu attached to the...

Aluminum sheet can be a few different alloys (often referred to as "series" ie: "3000 series") for example Grimco's painted .080 sheets are 3003-h14 alloy (3003 alloy and "h14" designates the temper of the material)

3000 and 5000 series are...
Another useful tip: if you have or can find an old printer getting scrapped out (ask your equipment dealers) take media holder off and mount it to a side or end of your table. We have a holder off an old mutoh 64" mounted to one end of our 5x10 table and its sooo nice for processing/finishing...
I agree it doesn't seem like a smart option as it would require additional cleaning just passing along what I have heard, do you have any name brands or sources for the silicone remover you mention?
I have heard that WD-40 is good at removing silicone, after watching the clip from Stacey I would not be surprised if they are using that or a similar lubricant. A quick google search says it will also remove tar easily. Again this IS NOT from personal experience, just hearsay.
