70% - but of those, we have usually worked with them before. 25% So-So - usually because they ignore the specs but fix the issues when brought up... 5% is usually get fired because they relied too much on outside vendors or had no clue what they were doing... we last fired a client sign shop...

All we do is design and specifications, we send out bids all over the globe and have worded our documents so that only qualified sign shops should do the work... that is not always the case... there is not enough bandwidth on this site to explain half the horror stories but my favorite are when...

Your terminology might be incorrect... but in cases where you are making dimensional odd shapes - kerf cutting angle or extrusion might be the way to go... Kerf cutting presentation
