I would be more concerned with the printing aspect, have you printed perf on that machine before? We haven't been able to get ours to print perf without curing ink in the holes.

This is what we use.... lateral filing cabinet with folders marked w/ part numbers etc by customer for smaller stuff. Larger stuff gets stored in flat filing cabinets. Anything that doesn't fit in those gets rolled or packed flat and stored in random locations throughout the shop...

On that note, has anyone tried 24 yet? Curious to see what they've added/fixed. My Advantage subscription runs out in a couple of weeks so I'll probably upgrade while I can.

Yikes, that's a mess. I get that HDU isn't cheap but I would have personally leaned towards throwing that thing in the trash and hiring a real reputable company to build a new one. Might be a good opportunity to improve that layout (I'm looking at you, area code) Sanding the paint down has...

Hate to tell you this, but from the sounds of it you'll have to adjust your expectations. Manufacturer rebates definitely aren't helping in this scenario but when it comes to used sign equipment you're never going to get top dollar, especially on equipment that's been sitting for years. No...

Interesting. Can't say I've ever seen or heard of this brand or product. Have you tried contacting them directly?

Yes, dump your waste ink tank down the drain (kidding, of course) then reinsert and reset the counter. The printer does lack a sheet cut knife/feature. At first when I noticed that on our S60600 I was a bit taken aback but quickly learned to love using a knife to do it yourself. On our mimaki...

You could make them out of wood or HDU........or sub it out to someone like these guys: https://foamcraft.com/

Not sure if you saw this recent thread but there were some suggestions made there: https://www.signs101.com/threads/nesting-software-suggestions.176719/

It's really too bad. I had high hopes for using layout tool when we first moved to Thrive but it's not usable as far as I'm concerned. Being able to manipulate positioning of individual copies would be great but apparently is too complicated for Onyx to get right.

Thanks guys, appreciate the info. That gives me lots to think about and look into. I get it's kind of like the newbies that come on here and say I wanna start making signs for cheap! Outsource until you can justify proper equipment is usually also my advice/train of thought. I've got almost 20...

We're getting more and more requests for ADA style signs w/ braille and tactile. From my limited knowledge, it seems like laser is the way to go for efficiently cutting tactile etc and I'm looking into a few manufacturers for that. Where I'm falling short is with finding a decent entry-level...

You printed those on your UCJV? That's a pretty impressive finish on those!

I like LMT Onsrud bits. https://www.onsrud.com/articles/Router-Bits-for-the-Sign-Industry.asp Sharbits have some cool kits, but they're definitely not cheap. We bought this one a while back: https://openbuildspartstore.com/3d-sign-maker-deluxe-7-pc-cnc-bit-kit-v1/ We also use a couple of bits...

I would be more concerned about using PVC on an exterior sign, but to answer your original question we would use something like GF 201 HTAP + 3M 8418G for this.

I would have questioned why they're inconsiderately not accommodating small Christians on their pilgrimage and called them out for body shaming.

Hey Craig, what's your website again? I missed it in your last 4 spam posts.

Fire them immediately, and cover your ass legally as much as you can. Make sure you have some sort of plan in place in case they go postal and hope they go away quietly. Good luck, hope everything goes as well as it can.

Interesting. I took one look at it and ran. After using Versaworks and Thrive for 10 years, Rasterlink just seemed very poorly designed, not to mention all the typos and poor translations.

Having used Rasterlink for a week, I would highly recommend considering switching to Onyx and getting an X-rite i1. Rasterlink is an inferior product and I honestly can't believe anyone in any sort of production environment could possibly run a business around it.
