I have to agree that prepainted is not all that. It looks much like a cheap primer to me. I always radius the edges with my hand router, fill any voids in the edges with body filler, prime with zinzer primer, and a coat of one shot on both sides. It works for me, and they last for years.

Here is a hypothetical.... A new business opens in a strip mall, can the landlord or the person in charge require that the tenant buy the sign front one particular sign company. I can understand requiring a particular appearance (like not putting up a banner when all the other tenants...

Very nice... Is theverybody shell gilded?

It's not....just a quick mock up...

That's my biggest concern. With the swinging, then the hardware may loosen up, which will really suck...at least for me. The building construction is wood, with slat siding... so going through the wall could be problematic. attached shows more what I am doing with the brackets.... I...

Hey, guys, I have a quick, how would you install it... I have a 24" x 96" ( vertical ) double sided MDO sign, that I will be installing on the side of a building. I have a nice bracket (from the sign brackets store) that will hold the weight, but I'm a little concerned about the "swing". I...

I've gotten a couple, myself. I wonder how bad the turnout was. There were no classes of any interest to me this year. Hopefully next year will be better. I'd like it if Francis Lansetti does a class next year... that I would like to attend.

I agree. A 3' tall letter may have to be thicker than 2" to get any bevel on it, increasing the weight (considering no cell structure for strength for mounting ) and cost.

Very nice....

Are you willing to sell individual copies? I bought a "complete set" but it's missing 10 or 15 issues, that is would like to find...

Yes, and paying for a subscription helps keep this site here.... The least it will cost you is $7.50 for a month to see if there is more, but a yearly subscription is less than that.

Yeah, your low. I'd be in the $450 range....

I have a raster image that I would like to put a bevel effect on, like: I can't remember how to do it, can someone help me out... Thanks, Mark

The one that I bought years ago was a true tangential machine. It was a 48" plotter that ran off a serial cable... It's so much better at small detailed work, but a bit slower. Very rarely have it wished for a wider machine. My 24" does me just fine...

I second Summa... I've tried using Roland at past employers , and they are ok, but long ago, when I had to buy a plotter at one company I worked at, I chose Summa (and I looked at them all)... when it was time for me to buy for my own company, I didn't even look around. I went with Summa. 24"...

Does anyone know of a distributor that has the best price for R Tape outdoor durable brushed silver? I placed an order with one place on Friday , and got confirmation of the order, and got a call today that they were out of stock until late December. If I want it any time soon, they can go...

We do. But I still like to give him a tip. I've been giving him decals to give away to customers for a while.
