If the cost of media is such a large factor as to have any real effect on your margin then perhaps you should revisit your pricing model.

Lacking the ability to print white, on those occasions when I'm printing and contour cutting non-white vinyl I register the leading edge of the media in the printer at some known point. Then I print just the registration marks in black and the outline of their bounding rectangle in barely...

If your margins are that thin perhaps you should rethink your pricing model.

Looks like an LHF offering

The sovereign remedy for plotters that cut erratically is to remove any dust cover from the tool carriage, use compressed air, from a can or from an air hose, to blow all of the dust and crud out of the tool carriage paying special attention to the up/down mechanism, and then replace any dust...

It doesn't matter whether you charged for the work or gave it to them. By the Berne convention the person who creates the artwork owns all of the rights to the artwork. It's yours not theirs. This is the case unless you specifically ceded those rights to them. It's entirely your choice whether...

You have yet to try what passes for pizza here in my village.

A simple camera will work just fine. If the sign is square and you know the exact dimensions just take a picture face on. If the sign is not square then place a 16"x20" framing square in the picture. Either way, draw a rectangle exactly containing either the sign or the framing square. Then map...

And yet there it is.

Doing something nice for someone is rather a Pollyannaesque goal and the results invariably end up being contrived. Far better to just not do anything cruel or humiliating to anyone each day.

Take a picture of one with a rectangular object of know dimensions in the photo. Anything from a 3x3 post-it to a 16x24 framing square will work. The larger the rectangle, the more accurate the image will be.

It's a joke, kid.

I should think the term you're looking for is "Duh".

The only thing they're good for is falling off of.

Agree that what it does is amazing. However it's glacially slow when dealing with realistic sizes and resolutions and its user interface is from hell. Moreover the gigapixel 'forum' is far more a celebration of love than a place where useful information might be gleaned. As far as I can tell...

What exactly does Affinity do that all of the software I currently wrangle can't do?

You shouldn't have a problem. Done the same sort of thing with vinyl a number of times over the years with no complaints. You might want to do a small test piece just to see if the vinyl reacts in some way to the proposed sealant.

All of it is white and smooth. some might be whiter than others, some might be smoother than others. The white point of all of them is sufficintly close as not to matter to anyone but a buck colorista. They're all sufficiently smooth so that you couldn't tell the difference. Stick to name...

You didn't use the proper vinyl because you don't have room to store it? Really? That has to be the lamest excuse possible. And that equally lame layout. Why is it so tiny, floating around in all that space? Did you fit the job to your equipment rather than make your equipment do the job?

'Grocery Take Out', 'Meat Catering'? Regardless of the background, this, as well as the rest of the copy, is a sure fire winner in the upcoming Bad Typography competitions, freestyle division. The background is most likely available on line in some texture, border, or stationary collection...
