I've been very pleased with my Graphtec vinyl cutter. Been using it for about 20 years.

Thanks for your reply Gino. A weeks wages sounds generous to me.

What's typical for employee year end or Christmas bonuses? We have a small shop and am wondering what other employers do at this time of year. Also, I'm creating an employee handbook and am on the "paid time off" section - any advice on that too? Thanks.

Dee Signs?

Hmmm...that's what I was wondering too. I use a couple of sign suppliers on a regular basis and was wondering if one of them was the culprit. Judging by the responses to this posting in this forum it doesn't appear that this is a widespread problem (yet) with other sign companies.

Since January I've had my credit cards shut down 3 times. I only use these cards for business purchases. Fortunately the bank is able to spot a questionable charge and does not process it so I am out no money. But then I have to wait 2 - 5 biz days for a new card and then the bookkeeping hassles...

How close does it have to be to the font in the seal? The font is obviously in the Roman family but there are so many variations of Roman styles. Most people wouldn't object to a Times Bold. If the letters are only 2" I would order them from Gemini.

I know this goes against common practices but I have to apply a 52" circle to polymetal and it has to be dead on correct. I don't have a lot of experience applying ControlTac and would be more comfortable with the RapidTac on hand just in case I'm messing up. My question is - is there any harm...

I'm looking for suppliers of a post and panel type sign that is custom painted. Looking for someone near northeast Florida if possible. The double sided sign face is 4' x 6' with 2x6x8' posts. Any suggestions, thanks.

I tried that and it didn't make a difference. Thanks.

I have created a file in Corel that I want to send to Signs365 to print out. They only print in RGB. When I export the file the dark blue colors change to a dull blue/gray. I'm trying to get a rich navy blue color print. Every time I "export" in Corel the default setting is CMYK, which I have to...

At $2700 I'm not sure if you've got enough money to cover the drop material, working with two pieces, what kind of backing or support is there for the installation. Also, how are you concealing the seam in the 13' section. I would charge more for those things - maybe more like $3500.

Wonder what would happen if you send a bill to Bassett Furniture for the unpaid balance?? Threaten to remove the sign?? Just curious if you could stir up some grief and get a resolution. Maybe it's just me but I have a hard time letting that stuff go.

Check out what the rules are for your county. If it is a private gated community they probably do not have to comply with the MUTCD rules. If it is a public access road the rules are different. Some signs have to be 7' grade to the bottom of the sign, some need breakaway poles, yada yada.

I received some files with an .svg file extension. I can click on them and they open but when I try to import into CorelDraw they get all distorted. I can save them or copy and paste but they turn into a bitmap file instead of a vector file. I need them in the vector format so I can resize and...

I'm looking for a high quality brushable clear coat to brush over some V carved, gilded letters. I used to do a lot of hand painted boat names and used a two part clear that was popular with the boat painters but it was very expensive and had a short shelf life. I've also used One Shot and Frog...

Last time I did a job like that I had a lot of trouble. There were about 5 door, full coverage. Getting the right amount of application fluid was the challenge. If I used too little I got a lot of bubbles in the film. If I used too much I had a hard time getting the mask off without lifting the...

I received an email with a photo of an old schematic floor plan of an apartment building. They want to make this into an evacuation plan that can be posted on the walls. Is there an easy way to do this? I can't imagine the time involved in trying to redraw this. Thanks for your suggestions.

you're waiting at the Deli counter and you're tempted to whip out a squeegee and get the bubbles out of the Boars Head decal.:smile:
