  1. Need Help Plotting on Reflective Material

    is that reflective or chrome? there's a difference.
  2. Yo.... Signage

    you have no idea how long i've spent looking at this and trying to figure out if it is anatomically correct.
  3. can you explain "Spot Colors"?

    if it's just three colors, i'm not sure why you don't just cut vinyl for the job instead of printing it. what's the obsession with printing everything? cut the three colors, slap 'em on the sign and call it a day.
  4. Suggestions Water Gilding. Reverse Glass Technique

    nice video. sounds is bad and that man has the shakiest hands i've ever seen.
  5. Suggestion for cut vinyl wall lettering

    And get yourself a rivet brush if this is going on a painted wall. After application, hit the entire thing with a rivet brush to make sure it stays stuck.
  6. Where to buy "Marker Acct" a Gerber Font

    You can't. It's not a purchasable font. You have to have Gerber software to have access to it. There is no Open or True Type fonts for it. They're Gerber fonts, used in Gerber software. I do have the software and if need, can set text for anyone that needs.
  7. Cutting customer supplied vinyl price

    I'd pass on this. I've only ever cut a supplied material once and wish I hadn't. the job ran just fine, but the guy was a jerk. he's come back since and i've declined all other orders. it's simply not worth it for me. but if you choose to do the job and you have the capabilities, assuming...
  8. What did you all get?

    Got some awesome little stuff that I'd mentioned throughout the year (my husband keeps a running list on his phone of things I say I want!!), but I was probably most excited about the Paint Puck. It's going to make my arting easier. I also got a new-to-me vehicle last Wednesday, but that...
  9. Trying to cut letters

    I don't cut from Corel, but I do see this happen when the text isn't text anymore. The software is seeing the separate shapes and cutting out of order. I use Gerber software and I have an option to Sequential Plot which makes it cut from left to right no matter what the shapes are.
  10. College font

    are there any duplicate letters in the sample? that could rule out it being a font or not.
  11. Turn around time..

    Hahahaha. 30 minutes. That's funny. My standard is two weeks and I've turned client's away because they want things in a day or the same day. Now, don't get me wrong. Depending on the client, our relationship with them, and what they're asking for, I can and will turn things in a day. But...
  12. P2C600 Assist

    We figured out a work around. I believe it's the serial port that took a dive. Hooked the plotter up to an old Windows XP PC that used to spool to the machines and had the same problem. Tried it serial to USB, and serial to serial and had no luck. Figured I had nothing to lose and tried the...
  13. How to handle previous owner's mistakes

    What was the client charged for on the invoice? Does the price match a a calendared or cast vinyl? We all know that it should have been cast vinyl, but if the client paid for calendared vinyl because they wanted something inexpensive, then I wouldn't replace without charging for it. You get...
  14. P2C600 Assist

    I run a Gerber P2C600 24" cutter. Up until Tuesday of last week, it's run just fine. I ran to cut jobs on 631 vinyl. Thursday, I turn it on and all of a sudden, I get nothing when sending. It boots up and shuffles the vinyl just fine. I send something to cut, and it does nothing. Tried...
  15. Discussion What's your shop's typical day like in terms of shop efficiency?

    I have a wall where we put our clipboards. They're divided by days of the week for sign work with apparel and outsourcing having their own sections. I have a dry erase three week schedule that shows vehicles, installs, time off/in lates for employees. Finally, I have my planner. I basically...
  16. LED halo lighted interior signs

    Check with the manufacturer on lifetime as it can vary. They're usually warrantied for X amount of hours. That said, I would definitely suggest a timer and a switch for easy on/off. Timer for everyday use so they don't need to remember to turn it on and off and also so it can be on after...
  17. Gerber Damaged file recovery.

    i had this happen years ago when we had our customer drive die unexpectedly. sadly i don't have good news. i still have file that say unsupported every once an awhile. it sucks, and usually means i have to do some tracing or resetting, but it was my fault for not having a back up.
  18. Need Help Can anyone help to design a logo of a new company about education?

    How do these accounts get through? I thought you had to be a valid sign shop to get in.
  19. With a little help from my friends...

    It's really similar to Swiss Black Extended, but not an exact match.
  20. Need Help Custom Neon - Ineterior

    Yea, Google Search to find someone local. We're one of the very few shops in our area that handle neon. In fact, there's only one other shop that could be considered close and they're really not that close and don't really push the neon end of their business.
