  1. Summa F1612 - Vacuum recomendation

    I'm curious what you are planning on routing with your summa? We have the 1612 with the standard router and it works fairly well for most things. however if you are doing a lot of routering, the 1612 is not the machine to do it with, a 4x8 or 5x10 cnc router is what you want. The summa with...
  2. Quality Check

    The photos you posted are far from being the worst I've seen. No its not correct or perfect, it looks like an inexperienced installer and a job that was quoted too low where they didn't have enough profit in it to reprint the panels that needed to be, not saying its correct but it happens. If...
  3. Quality Check

    I agree the work is sub par, however it's a bad idea to tell the client that and get in between them, just refer them back to the original shop. The client could have gotten 3 quotes and picked the lowest,if thats the case then this quality of work can be expected. Wrapping cars takes a...
  4. Quality Check

    I had a similar situation back in April, client got his van wrapped at a shop out of province for some reason, brought it to us to take a look at, I had no prior dealings with this guy or his company, asked me to take a look at the wrap and see if we could "fix" the issues, the issues he saw...
  5. Summa frame made out of wood...?

    We have a similar issue, there are 2 dealers in Canada, one has been selling the f series for 10 years and seems fairly knowledgeable, the other has been selling it for a year and the techs are fairly clueless on these machines. But when we got quoted, the new company was $25,000 less...
  6. Summa frame made out of wood...?

    Lol, you will quickly find out that nothing on the summa comes as default, everything is an add on
  7. Summa frame made out of wood...?

    I'm pretty happy with the summa, most of the issues I have with it stem from our dealer not having enough experience with the machine and relying on summa support. What are you buying it to do? Like any equipment it has its strengths and weaknesses, its great at most cutting tasks, however the...
  8. Summa frame made out of wood...?

    the panels below the conveyor belt are made of MDF skinned with aluminum on the summa, ive only had our summa for a few months but i did a ton of research before buying and I've never come across anyone with an issue due to this. Sounds like your Esko rep is making up issues with the summa to...
  9. Matthews Paint

    Gemini uses Matthew's paint, would you be able to order the part already cut and painted from them?
  10. All it's missing is the circus music...

    Can't we just go back to politics being boring, and go about our day to day lives? I don't understand how politics has turned into some sort of sporting event where my guy is going to beat your guy
  11. CWT Evolution

    Our rolls roller leaves some silvering, but it goes away by the next morning, I've never considered it an issue
  12. Taking the next step in printers...

    What % of the vinyl you currently print gets mounted to boards? A flatbed might be the best bet for you, but they come with a large monthly payment and you need to be sure you can keep it running to pay the bill. I like the idea of replacing 2 of your printers with a Colorado, and add a flatbed...
  13. Suggestions Want to automate our manual sheet layouts somehow

    Can you post a Screenshot of a typical sheet?
  14. Opening Branch in NYC

    You guys seem to have some really restrictive business licensing down there! I have my HST number for collecting tax, and my business license that costs $25 every 5 years, thats all I need to open up a shop doing general signage, electrical work is more complex with more licensing, but I can...
  15. What to do with older/obsolete printers

    Roland and HP run promos sometimes where they take your old printer in any condition and offer you like $5000 off a new machine, might be worth it then, or if you aren't buying a printer, I'm sure someone who is would take it off your hands if ots going to save them $5000.
  16. Post holes with a drill...

    I've never heard of that, but I've never put a sign up in an old Indian graveyard, so who knows.
  17. Post holes with a drill...

    We stall the client with permits and red tape until the spring :)
  18. Post holes with a drill...

    I have no experience with footings, but I believe the footing depth is dependent on the size of the sign above.
  19. Post holes with a drill...

    I'm always jealous of you guys in warm climates, a 24" deep hole wouldn't cut it here, minimum 40" to get below the frost line
  20. Source for small blank acrylic door signs

    Gemini will cut them for you. Alternatively, if you have an engraving shop nearby, take them a piece of white acrylic and $30 cash and I'm sure they will put them on their laser cutter between jobs.
