  2. I need a linguist

  3. Printing on ceramic tile _ with UV cured ink- sealing surface?

    Print them just as you would anything, and if you want/need a clear (which you don't need) - I'd just spray them with clear paint, varnish, anything you feel like - we've even rolled them afterward with polycrylic and had some okay results....
  4. Blade for PVC?

    Yeah - lay the print after cutting for sure. Regardless of how you cut it. Otherwise they may even be off from one another from side to side. It's just never a good idea to lay a print/vinyl prior to cutting.
  5. Blade for PVC?

    What helps...A little...Is if you have a jigsaw with a variable tilt on the blade - such as a high end DeWalt or similar. Set the saw so that the blade is at an angle instead of cutting straight up and down - This cuts down on the welding problem pretty significantly. Use that method with a slow...
  6. Fletcher FSC question for current owners

    It would still work just fine. No problem... Got one for sale if you're interested. I dunno about shipping costs, but you could always PM me....
  7. Can't open these PLT files.

    I am wondering if someone could do me a huge favor and open two plt files and re-save them as an older version of Omega and create a pdf of them while you have them open. I appreciate it greatly!! :help

  11. Contour Cutting FoamCore/GatorBoard/Coroplast, etc

    BTW - welcome from WA....
  12. Contour Cutting FoamCore/GatorBoard/Coroplast, etc

    If you want to hand-cut, use a string and a pin for circles. Jigsaws are good - and yes, they are messy (like most sign work). Hand held router - same technique as a knife (string and a pin).... If you're still a little shaky - overcut the circle and sand it down to perfection with a...
  13. Next Generation Sign Guy...Coming Soon!

All is well now - wife in recovery and doing amazing and lil' Easton is doing what newborns do. Everyone is...
  14. Waterjet or Laser?

    Water jet's are not designed for acrylic - they generally have a difficult time piercing the acrylic without cracking it. What I have done in the past to correct this is pierce all holes first with a lower pressure, then step up the pressure and cut. But all and all - they are not efficient for...

    LoL!!!
  16. Do government jobs get charged sales tax?

    Just another thought - if you are unsure about it: Call and ask, and if he/she is unsure, charge sales tax and reimburse them if they were not supposed to pay. BUT - make sure to get a W-9...
  17. Do government jobs get charged sales tax?

    Depends. City and county governments usually pay, but there is no hard and fast rule for this one - it is totally dependent upon the contract. It usually states it pretty clearly on the page you will fill out with your numbers on it. But to answer your question more specifically - in your case...
  18. Wind flaps in banners

    So true....So, so true. ;)
  19. 3m 8518

    Where is 3M on this one - like Colorado mentioned? I cannot believe they haven't chimed in yet. Then again, if it is true and they are shorting rolls - what would you even chime in about? "Yeah - we're ripping you guys off...."? This is crazy. I'll be paying attention to this thread for sure...
  20. Wind flaps in banners

    In my opinion it is a horrible idea and they are so hideous. BUT, if you do use them, use a punch (like for doing grommets) and make a nice clean circle at the ends of the cuts - it reduces the tenancy to tear. The only time I've found a wind slit to be a good idea is when I am thinking to...
