We don't have a CNC, but the last company I worked at did, and we still ordered aluminum letters from Gemini, by the time you cut, drill/tap, paint or clear coat, make a pattern, you are better off ordering from Gemini

In this case it's not a matter of money, it's time. You can charge a rush fee all you want, the client is still getting a inferior product. I would be up front with the client, tell them the proper product requires a 3 week lead time, the proper product comes with a lifetime warrantee and is...

Where re are you finding a 4x4 aluminum post for that price?!? I've called around up here for this and I'm looking at around $400 for a 24' length! what grade of aluminum are you using? All I can find is anodized, which I don't need.

Yeah it's a really cool old building, there is a very old wood burning steam boiler upstairs that was used to heat the building for the last 140 years, they used to heat the place for free with the scraps from the woodworking shop. The boiler is the size of a small house, 100% cast iron. the...

I always new the building our shop is in was old, but I never realized how old and historic it was untill I did a bit of research. Turns out the building was built in 1830 and used as a woodworking and machine shop. Through my research I found out that the wooden box that housed the first...

I've laminated scrim banner in the past with a standard 3mil laminate, no issues. I would laminate for piece of mind.

How does the white compare to the gerber edge? I'm considering adding white to our next printer but I've heard mixed reviews

Is the client aware that you will be able to see the area where the old lettering was if you reuse the panel? We've tried to re letter panels that were 18 months old, north facing and there was still a slight ghosting, i can't imagine how bad that will look when you get the old letters off...

I like signelements.com, they have photos/vectors and vehicle outlines

That does look like a cool system! I'm gonna guess it's also EXTREMLY expensive! I was looking at another system that wasn`t nearly as elaborate and it worked out to be almost $200 per roll when you were all said and done.

Cool, don't let the door hit you on the a$$ on the way out!

We've never found that to be the case.

I would insist on photos being taken, and knowing other factors such as when was the wall painted, what type of paint was used, how was the wall prepped prior to applying the vinyl etc. before I made a decision on how to handle this. 3M makes gerber's vinyl, from what I've heard it's...

I assume you are talking about acrylic. Depending on thickness, if it's under 0.25" we score and snap it. Over that is either cut on the table saw with an acrylic blade set just higher than the piece or router cut.

No if the client mentions price at all during the fist few minutes of the conversation, or even worse, if it's the first thing out of their mouth, i know we are not a good fit to work together. I had someone come in once act literally point to every sample sign i had in the show room and ask...

I always ask budget, it's not to let them set the price, it's so I'm not wasting my time quoting a $4000 sandblasted dimensional sign when they only have $1500 to spend. Don't forget we work in a very niche industry, most people don't buy signs on a regular basis and have no idea what they are...

Should have kept your mouth shut in the signvox/shopvox thread..... LOL J/K

We cut acrylic with vinyl on it sometimes, the tiny amount of PVC it is cutting isn't a problem, we have our lasers hooked up to a 900cfm exhaust that vents out and over our roof, no issues with smells in the shop, sometimes you can smell it outside when the wind is still

I have versaworks set up to print LAB black when it "sees" CMYK or RGB black. The results are really really good, even on standard quality, the black comes out the same darkness as the crop marks do when you print them, to give you an idea. This can be done in the "special colours" section of...
