Well if anyone followed my other Sign World thread, they would have come to the same conclusion. Sign World 2022 in A/C is cancelled. But it's amazing how inept the USSC Foundation truly has become. They first started promoting Sign World 2022 in Sept. By the end of October, not only did they...

Adding to my previous postings regarding the Sign World 2022 show in Atlantic City: -It's officially 6 weeks away, as of today -Still no updated Show Map (PDF file is from 9/12/22) -Still no list of vendors attending -Still no list of seminars, nor schedule of any kind And if all that wasn't...

I asked the company that does a lot of wholesale ADA work for us for any ideas. The owner told me in rare cases where he has to do this, he sprays the back of the appliqué's adhesive backer paper (typically MP 467/468 for Rowmark) with 3M 77 spray. Waits about 5 minutes, and then masks it with...

I have a source that has a backup 1.56 CD. It's very outdated as others have said, but if someone needs it contact me, I cannot imagine Gerber getting mad as not only is it outdated, but also useless without the security dongle. It will work in Windows Virtual XP, while running Windows 7. Not...

I am having serious doubts of the USSC show in Atlantic City this year. They announced it on 9/22. It's now 3½ weeks later, and they still do not have anything updated (the floor plan. when you hover over it, shows a PDF document from 9/12/22). The show is less than 7 weeks away and they still...

I'll second B2 sign, but I am confused... you posted this on 10/14 at 3:49pm....but also said your client needed them on 10/14? Don't know of anyone that could get that done on a late Friday for same day service, not even a local sublimation print shop.

One of the shops that does a ton of wholesale work for us (mainly dimensional letters) is based right outside of Philadelphia. The owner said that back when he first went in the 90's it was on the boardwalk at the old Convention Hall and said it was huge. Then he said the first dozen or so years...

Looks like it's a go this year. They just put up a listing regarding it: https://usscfoundation.org/#2022show That said, it looks to be dying a slow painful death. In previous years one of the highlights was the "free cocktail and hors d'oeuvres" in the pool area. But no mention of that. Also...

I too would like the schematics if possible?

Late in seeing this but for what it may be worth.... A few years ago another shop that does a lot of routing for us has an older Dimension 200x. They had a similar problem, except it was affecting all 3 axis. After they powered it on and the ARC station did it's multiple beeps, it sat idle...

Dumb thought but....do you know what the slow key is used for? (Not trying to be rude, just honestly asking). When the slow key is selected it is supposed to move the X and Y axis very very slowly, to allow precise registration on the bullseye (typically for Gerber Edge target registration). Not...

Good morning everyone, looking for some advice. Currently looking at a IS8000 machine. Would really like to have a vacuum holddown option (to suck entire sheets to to the table), but they never came with one. Does anyone know if this can be added somehow? We're looking at being able to hold...

Hello all, in an attempt to make sure we do not get stuck with a paperweight on our existing machine (since parts are all but non-existent), we're looking to potentially buy another Gerber D200 machine. We'd prefer an X model with vacuum holddown, but would also be interested in an E (engraver)...

Thanks Raum! I'm concerned about doing a "DIY" vacuum table, as it's not something we have ever done. And with the cost of used machines out there right now, not sure we want to take the chance. But we're definitely leaning towards not getting the auto braille tool, as it seems like that is...

Thanks for the reply JBurton. I will contact Gravograph tomorrow. I did see the machines on their site, but oddly did not see anything about an option for a beefier spindle, auto bead inserter, or vacuum table so hopefully a call to them will get me that information. But thanks for a potential...

Greetings from a newbie to the forum but not at all to the sign industry. Keeping my first post semi-brief, I am looking to find a better CNC machine to make ADA signs. Currently I use a very slow, very outdated Gerber Dimension 200 E. It's great for making these signs but it's very very slow...
