    a gallon jug of Rapid tac lasts us about 3 years, learn to install as much as possible using the dry hinge method and save the fluid for only when it's needed!

  7. Need Help Cutting Laminated PVC on Summa F1612

    I use the HD knife for 1/8" pvc and it does a beautiful job, is your HD knife new and sharp? try slowing it down, or do multiple passes. what bit are you using in the router for this? All the bits summa sells are upcut bits, but I have a theory that downcut would be better for cutting through...
  8. Need opinion on decision to expand business to printing...

    there are quite a few online wholesale printers who can ship to you (often next day) and save you the drive if that is a concern. It would be a way to test out how viable the market is with no upfront investment.

  10. No "convert fonts" options when doing a save as pdf?

    Have you tried placing the file in illustrator, then flatten transparency? Then export as pdf and bring into coreldraw? This work for me 95% of the time.
  11. No "convert fonts" options when doing a save as pdf?

    It's stupid really, Corel IMO is much better set up for production work, yes Illustrator is the industry standard for design, but when it comes to a production environment CorelDraw works circles around AI. In Corel you can set presets for exporting files as PDF's, so you can have one for...
  12. Onyx GamaPrint or Onyx Thrive?

    I dont think gamma print has a cut server, so print/cut decals become a multi step process instead of 1 step.

    Never used the hexis stuff, but the MacTac one with air egress leaves the air channels visible through the glass for quite a while after installation.
  14. Some of our fellow sign makers just make ya shake your head

    If you had to drive to site to deliver the torn face, why didn't you stay till the job was done to make sure it was done properly? I'm not saying it's your fault at all, the first company sounds very shady, but if you were on site already, whats a couple extra hours to make sure it's up to your...
  15. Looking for a substrate at .050" thickness that can be backlit

    I would use PETG for this, i can only get it 0.030" thick but it should still be rigid enough at the size you need.
  16. Summa F1612 - Vacuum recomendation

    Sounds like the sales rep has your boss buying all sorts of unnecessary accessories! If you have the POT, there is no need for the EOT, the POT is like the EOT on steroids, the EOT offers no advantages over the POT except you don't need a large air compressor to run it. Sounds like your boss...
  17. Summa F1612 - Vacuum recomendation

    The beauty of the Summa F series is that it's all completly modular, meaning he can add on the HF router at any time if you find you need it, unless you are getting a smoking deal on the HF router i would hold off
  18. Quality Check

    So he can go back to them and say " John over at XYZ signs said you did a crappy job" he thinks this will carry more weight
  19. Summa F1612 - Vacuum recomendation

    None of those things require the HF router, the standard Kress router would handle all of those with ease. Also, I can't imagine how much dust and crap routing styrofoam would create!!
