Others have offered some good suggestions. I don't think a job like this about substrates it's about end result. For example sign shop A can provide a nicely seamed whatever ac whatchamacallit and sign shop B can do a no seem whatchamacallit that is cheaper than sign shop A Then there is sign...

I pitch that much worthless scrap in the dumpster on a daily basis. If you or anyone else think it is worth something feel free to come dumpster diving. If you have no need for it like I have no need for it how is this a steal for someone ? These kind of ludicrous offers from merchants bug me.

Glad I'm not down in that cesspool of work and customers. At the rate these rappers are going you will be paying the customer for the privilege of working for them. Keep up the good work and let us know when you will be closing and selling your printer.

I have always used vans with a glass rack attached could not live without. We throw the signs onto it and roll out

I dunno. I'm doing a 2x3 right now for $3,500 but it's probably a different kind of sign. If it is a restoration I would want more because it is a specialty. If you want to specialize in old sticker restorations (OSR) then charge the standard osr rate. I would suggest staying away from this...

In case you guys don't know there are bits for plastic.They have a different angle point and spiral. Clean perfect holes http://www.mcmaster.com/#plastic-cutting-drill-bits/=u0ay0b

Very cool I love seeing and doing these kinds of projects. It's amazing the stuff that imagination and a properly setup sign shop can produce. Software and a cnc are my favorite toys. I still love making signs but after 25 years some of the work bores me. It's jobs like this that re-charge...

thanks for the laugh

Mark you are obviously a sign making professional. Curious as to why you would recommend a roll laminator before a flatbed. I would like like to hear your thoughts on this.

I got a Chinese one. Search the forums there is a thread about my experience dealing with china and buying from them.

Anybody out there with a flatbed have any problems with their machine not doing its job each and every time without failure ? Roll to roll laminators are going to be a thing of the past very soon. Unless of course you are doing 150' runs all the time Most shops on this forum are doing small...

Nice work ! Took me a few minutes to figure out what was strange in the photos Never really saw a southpaw swinging a mop. Again nice work Keep strokin it.

I think the technical term "squiggle"

All roll to roll laminators are a PIA. The vendors who sell the printing machines and laminators are misleading you the uninformed and un educated new-be. If you are a small shop doing one off prints I think the best laminator is a flatbed like a Rolls Roller. They pay for themselves in short...

Nice ! Your work is awesome ! I never worry about the gozillion shops that are always opening and closing in my area but I would definitely worry if you moved into my hood. Keep up the good work and please don't relocate near me.

Nice work ! More fun than making stickers

Yup happens to everyone. I just had a 25 year customer shop our latest project.He took our sketch to another shop looking for a price. Luckily the other shop was a friend of mine who called me and asked how much I was asking for the job so he could quote it much higher. He tacked on a couple...

Very nice. It's also nice to see posts from people who study their craft and do their homework.

I got the answer You have to buck up and buy the very best that's out there. Then when your customers ask you about longevity You can confidently say you use use the best materials known to mankind
