  1. Plaques quicker than gemini?

    I'm deep in it on this one. I've got a client having their building dedication May 20th with a commemorative plaque, and due to me not understanding Gemini's quote I did not understand that they had inverted the layout until I got the proof yesterday. Now they say I need to go bigger, change...
  2. Particular Graphic Eats Vinyl While Cutting

    I'm not sure what size these are and what software you're using but CorelDraw has a Corners tool that lets you set a radius as small as .01" and rounds your sharp corners. It's not perfect but it usually only chokes if there's two nodes right on top of each other. I put a radius on just about...
  3. Customer wants graphic on vinyl table

    Our local Fire Dept has round black vinyl tables in their lounge area that are going to be used for eating. They want an 18" round "In Memory of" graphic in the center of each. I don't think decals would be a good long term solution with the grain of the surface plus the wear and cleaning...
  4. Had some contract laser engraving done - any way to salvage this?

    We had a bunch of Yeti tumblers engraved. Most looked great but a few came back like this - The rest are as shiny as that little scratch in the forehead (ahem...) I'm thinking the lettering might be passable if I could get the main parts of the bird shining. Anybody had to fix something like this?
  5. Metal Gemini letters on siding - peaks or valleys?

    Bill are you saying you feel that silicone on the stud in the 5/8" decking would be sufficient to hold these? I'm thinking that if I used these, since these are only 14" letters, I'd probably just need one of these on the top and another on the bottom, and the rest of the studs could just have...
  6. Metal Gemini letters on siding - peaks or valleys?

    Yeah oops!! It's not R or PBR - it's horizontal! Those are side views
  7. Metal Gemini letters on siding - peaks or valleys?

    I cannot get to the other side. It's new construction but nobody thought about the lettering until the nth hour so there's drywall up inside. Do I need to tell them they either need to open the drywall up or we need to use rails? I've done plenty of acrylic or plastic lettering with just a...
  8. Advice please ( New Zealand)

    Just to clarify, are you asking what 49Pppl means? (and just to clarify, I have no idea what 49Pppl means, never seen anything like it)
  9. Metal Gemini letters on siding - peaks or valleys?

    I'm not sure which is the lesser of too weevils - I'm installing 14" stainless fabricated letters w/ closed backs 1" deep plus 2" spacing. Putting the studs in the valleys seems like it makes more sense, but will it make the drill template much harder to use? Drilling on the peaks I just need...
  10. Do you think this is a bad roll or something else?

    I just told Wensco I had a bad roll and they replaced it without so much as a blink. To clarify, I am having no issues on any other rolls of materials.
  11. Do you think this is a bad roll or something else?

    Thanks for the quick reply!
  12. Cheap Bulk Stickers - 100 Stickers for $7 ??

    I ordered some photography lighting stands from amazon without paying much attention - when I got them they were "Amazon Basics" brand I thought if they're shoving their way into something as niche as lighting stands—everybody's fucked.
  13. Do you think this is a bad roll or something else?

    20' into a roll of Arlon 4600. Inks and optimizer are in warranty. Anyone have an (informed) opinion about whether this would fail prematurely? I'm in a crunch unfortunately. This is supposed to be a solid color. The only saving grace is that it's covering a van window and supposed to match...
  14. How to replace this sign face?

    Existing customer - nobody knows who did the sign originally - what do I need for this? Apparently it got sucked out in a storm.
  15. Alupanel Client Install w no visible fasteners

    That's a pretty elegant solution - makes me wish the sign WAS double sided! :D
  16. Alupanel Client Install w no visible fasteners

    Hey all, I dug around a bit but I'm not sure how to approach this. I've got a 3'x4' 6mm alupanel sign going on a couple of fiberon 4x4 sleeves. I've done lots of signs more or less like this, but they've always been roadside so a few discrete fasteners were no big deal. This sign though is...
  17. Finally pressed the "Get Optimal Results" button. Typical HP bullshit!

    In HP production manager when looking at job settings there's this button. No mention of it anywhere in documentation, and haven't found anything about it on the internet either. After 5 years I finally bothered to click it. It's a flucking ad. Takes you to their website.
  18. HP 700w roll management - how do you keep track of how much roll is left?

    I see what you're saying but the printer knows when the substrate detaches from the core. It doesn't need the counter to know if there's still material on the roll.
