  1. Carved HDU signs longer than 8'

    I also glue first then route. I just route it in 2 sections moved under router. I have glued it in 2 sections. Just a little more time needed to line up and keep wiping glue as it dries.
  2. FC7000-100 error message

    Agree, sounds like you need to put plotter into gp-gl. No media in, hit initial menu, interface, command then select gp-gl.
  3. Long Lasting Outdoor Signage

    Depending on budget we use Fossil signs for outdoor long term prints. May not be graffiti proof. EDIT FOSSIL CHPL (Custom High Pressure Laminate) signs and murals are impervious to moisture, and are extremely resistant to UV rays, scratching, impact, cigarette burns and graffiti. In fact...

    We just received a sample of Arlon DPF5200. Looks good but haven't tried it yet.

  9. Sign system ID

    YES. That's it. Thank you.
  10. Sign system ID

    Trying one more time before I go and try to remove it from wall. Don't think it's Clarke.
  11. Anyone else allergic to vinyl?

    My hands are torn up too. Never thought it could be vinyl. Been to doctors and haven't figured it out. This makes me wonder, never really had any problems till I started using printable material...
  12. Sign system ID

    And that was one of the better ones. Some floors even had mix match fonts. Maybe pull it from the wall is an option. So much paint build up on the edges.
  13. Sign system ID

    Does anyone know who makes this directory system? Pieces are 1 1/2'' x 15'' on clear acrylic painted on the face. They snap into a holder that has pre-spaced holes.
  14. Bending poly metal / dibond

    I agree with the skin thickness issue. I think Compbond makes a sheet called X12(for .012 thick). Dibond is .012 thick or thicker. That ACM that is .008 thick is tricky to bend.

    Thanks for all the info. I will be practicing a lot since this machine is fast.
  16. Sewing banner hems

    We picked up a Consew(206) walking foot machine from one of our customers. I was wondering if anyone has a source for a hem folder for this machine? I've seen something on youtube that looks like it mounts to the machine and you run the banner through it and it folds the banner. New to sewing...
  17. New Vinyl cutter suggestions request

    We have been cutting #117 stencil, sailcloth and your print and cut vinyls for years on Graphtec FC model plotters. We have a fc4100-75 that is still going strong and a larger fc7100-160. I would think Graphtec, Summa and Roland are probably all good choices.
  18. What's your "Go To" sign supply store?

    Harbor Sales, Trim USA, Grimco.
  19. Cutting Master 2

    Updating now. I still use CM2 because I read somewhere ( maybe Graphtec site) that CM3 was for CS4 and up. I am still using CS3. Maybe I will download CM3 and see if it will work with CS3.
