  3. Rocket nose cones

    Yep, call places like Foamcraft. Should be nothing to do something like that.
  4. "Real Gold" Printing and Cutting Issue

    I don't have a Graphtec, but my Summa works in a similar fashion. I've never been able to print on the gold directly and have the eye read the registration mark. So, I print a bunch of marks on white, trim them reasonably close (allowing enough movement for the sensor to find the mark, and...
  5. New Product Custom Reflective Engine Turn Gold Lettering

    No problem Allen, see attached. Nothing new about reinventing something, make what you have work for you. In these photos I opted not to align the engine turn within the letters and the client was fine with that since they were not matching any other vehicle.Cochranville FD Photo2 by letterman7...

  9. New Product Custom Reflective Engine Turn Gold Lettering

    Nice job keeping the turning going 'in the right direction' - aligned with the letter. But reflective "gold leaf" isn't new... been doing it for at least 10 years or more.
  10. Vinyl won't stick to glass

    Or, I just clean my surfaces really well and make sure there is no "residue". As identified by another poster, they saw streaking on the surface and surmised that to be from the Windex. No, streaking occurs because the surface isn't clean. Now, true, I wouldn't use Windex or other ammonia based...
  11. Vinyl won't stick to glass

    Funny everyone is hitting on Windex and it's derivatives (ammonia based cleaners). I've never - never - had any problems in over 20 years of cleaning both glass and spot cleaning vehicles with Windex. Just lucky, I suppose..

    Nothing on their site yet.. New England Sign Supply
  13. What type of sign is this?

    Yup, looks like Howard extrusions. Weird that they put routed lettering on the faces if it wasn't internally lit...
  14. Vinyl print "faded" to black? What happened?

    Cheap laminate would be one cause, cooking the adhesive layer and turning it black. The cracking through the print are a good clue.
  15. Considering a Shopbot for Acrylic/.040 aluminum. Thoughts?

    Depends on what it's outfitted with. Some SB's have a spindle on them, most have the Porter-Cable router. I've been running my PRT Standard for 15 years with a router head with little issue cutting acrylic. You just have to know your speeds and feeds and have the right bits. Aluminum is a little...
  16. What material - interior signage?

    Both of those images look like a painted pvc overlaid on a piece of 3mm ACM. What you're asking is somewhat akin to ordering a McDonalds menu item - too many options without a context. What are you trying to do with it? Are they flat on the wall or are they flagged away? Does your client want a...
  17. Anyone get a email from fast signs?

    Why not ask your employee if he's shopping around?
  18. best sign related injury :)

    Trimming with a laminate router. First problem was it was the end of the day and I was tired, second problem as I got distracted when I reached the end of the run. Finished the trim, lifted the router up to turn it off with my left hand (being right handed), and brought my hand up under the...
  19. Sourcing 50" Banner Material

    I've never had an issue feeding my 1204 with 54" material. It won't print that far, of course, but it works just fine. If the head is snagging on the lead edge (closest to the maintenance station) you'll need to set your head height to 'high'. Rolling some off the roll as it prints so the...
  20. 6mm sintra routed

    :-) Looks nothing like a paw print unless you're placing vinyl on top. Still, anyone can do that, you just have to make a decision on whom you want it to be. Take into account shipping from anyone out of state.
