  1. sign face question

    I guess I meant an 1/8" all around but 1/4 all together.
  2. sign face question

    Thanks, I don't do these often and never remember.
  3. sign face question

    I am building a sign face using ex12 extrusion. How much bigger than the acrylic does the finished frame have to be to allow for expansion and contraction? This one is just a frame with no box and is about 12' x 30". Would 1/4" be enough?
  4. getting fine straight cuts on the top of my thumbs

    This is driving me crazy...I seem to be getting these fine razor blade type cuts on the top of my thumbs for the past 5 or 6 weeks. I know it is coming from alumapanel. I never catch it happening and only discover it a short while later. They are like paper cuts but because they are on the...
  5. Not sure which it is..................................

    I learn't that lesson just last year after being in this business for a long time. Seems strange that Gerber has a wider colour selection than 3M.... I also get better pricing on Gerber- 3M than 3M , 3M WTF is with that?
  6. So a guy brought me some Oracal 651 to wrap his car....

    A guy I work with took on a job for a rather large hotel chain and they had pre cut graphics ready to be installed. They were 3M dusted crystal graphics...about 6 - 10 pieces about 48" x 96". I have always warned him about taking on jobs that you are working with someone else's product and...

    namemyboat.com.....customer comes in with a printout of a name for his boat...19" high letter spanning 64" 2 colours vinyl cut.... his price? $35.00 which also includes the city below the copy in about 2 - 3" copy. I figure my cost on 2 ml vinyl alone for this job is close to $40.00 and...
  8. dry erase boards

    Make your customer love you.... offer to put their logo somewhere on that chart so it is custom made for them..... if you already have their logo on file it costs you nothing, and I can guarantee you will make your contact a star with his superior.
  9. I see the bitmap, but after 6 tries the printer will not print it.

    OK...figured it out.... I left the initial cutline as a cut line and forgot to turn contour off....good thing it didn't print as it would have attempted to cut the logo inside the decal....I find it weird as a cutline that it allowed itself to combine with a white box....
  10. I see the bitmap, but after 6 tries the printer will not print it.

    That title is not entirely accurate. here is the issue. I have a bitmap that has some rough edges and I made a cutline to cut off the areas I don't want after printing. That will print fine, but the other part of this job is a decal on white. I figured if I left the cutline in there and...
  11. Creases/Marks in Laminate

    I never liked General Formulations laminate...Different from regular laminate in that it silvers way too much and seems to be more like a clear vinyl than laminate...and yes there are differences.
  12. Wrap removal techniques

    I have a customer who purchased a used 16' cube van and it is wrapped. he wants me to remove it...I politely declined and said I would research the best ways for him remove the graphic as we are far too busy and I don't have the time to deal with it.... The cube van is fiberglass. I have not...
