Conduit straps:

Looks like you can gain additional cutter support with one of the Flexi upgrades available for HP: https://www.thinksai.com/hplatex/

Is this is a paid training situation? Or more like a suggested reading type thing? I pity the fool that asks for free work from a pre-employee...

With only a few a month I'd just purchase them from someone already equipped to make them and then resell to your customer. Otherwise, maybe a desktop laser engraver?

Did you stop the roller during lamination? I get marks like those if I have to stop the roller.

This. It's not that customers are the enemy or that we don't want to help. It's because it pushes everything else back - customers that had it together, that ordered two weeks ago, that have waited through the permitting process - they all get bumped because someone else can't plan their...

What about a synthetic paper? https://nekoosa.com/products/synaps-om https://yupousa.com/what-is-yupo/yupo-grades/yupoilluminate/

https://www.standoffsystems.com/products/wire-systems/ Gyford Systems also has similar products. I've installed these before in hospitals and fancy corporate lobbies, but always as a permanent, decorative or screening element. Not sure how they'd work as a changeable type system. Maybe you...

Same. Exterior latex with Avery 950 series has worked great for us.

https://www.sunbritetv.com/ At a previous shop we used Sunbrite displays fitted into custom "cabinets" as Ron mentions above. Can't remember what the software was called - but it was installed on a central computer and then pushed to the various displays which were on the same network.

I agree with Wild West. I prefer to stay a version or two behind. Still get security updates and stay relatively safe, but also allow time for the brand new flaws to be fixed. At home, we finally just got rid of our 2012 (!) mac mini only because it could no longer run an up-to-date browser. A...

I have similarly been looking for a solution to help me hang heavy signs from scroll brackets by myself. I was first looking into tree guys and how they use ropes to raise and lower heavy branches, but then I learned about this new electric hoist from Milwaukee...

Is kaizen the word you're thinking of? And you're absolutely right - thanks for this perspective! This whole place is built on preservation. We're not going to preserve our future if we don't think forward and begin to modernize our processes.

Thanks all - yeah, I think I'm just exiting the honeymoon period here and beginning to see the shine wear off. The past few weeks have been eye opening. It's definitely a large, top heavy organization, but you guys are right. Gotta just go with the flow or move on.

Yeah, we have several of these types here. Like the guy in engineering who thinks he's the only one who can contact the city planning office or apply for permits. Or the carpenter who tries to have a monopoly on calling in locate requests for underground utilities. Or the IT guy who hijacks a...

For the most part, yes. So long as we have a PO# and room on our purchasing card. We're each responsible for ordering what we need for a given job (we charge internally for time and materials). Of course! Our rules are that we each need to charge for and purchase what is needed, on-demand, for...

Not sure what the correct term is for this practice - What do you call it when someone in an organization operates in such a way as to artificially make themselves a gatekeeper of a given procedure/operation/practice? They're usually micromanagers, never delegate, and often inflate their given...

In our area paints are not required to be flame retardant - we use additives from Rose Brand: https://www.rosebrand.com/product4340/Fire-Stop-E84-Flame-Retardant-Paint-Additive.aspx?cid=728&idx=1&tid=1&info=Flame%2bRetardants

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I have over 10 years of theme park sign experience and in the east coast US at least these types of things are hand painted by scenic artists. I would open up your research to include options outside of printed/laminated signage. Maybe a tensioned...
