i have had to set up some shops in extremely limited areas one shop was only 14' X30' and they made it work for a few years until they could afford something biggger, you are trying to squeeze a lot of equipment into this space. the way i would go about this is to make a model of your space...

HI Jon, i find some of the responses very interesting. One of the 'trends' that i am witnessing in the sign industry is sign companies trying to repackage themselves as either ad agencies or marketing professionals. With the later (sign companies trying to present themselves as marketing...

not an answer tothe banner question but an alternative to chalk dust...use graphite

no you are the one coming here for help. take the time to formulate a proper question and say thank you. this is a basic installation and it firghtens me to the core that an installer is having to ask this question, it tells me that you are not qualified to do the job. why does this bother...

you can do everything out of corel you will need to setup a custom palette and then assign a color as your cutline (there are a few settings in setting this up but nothing hard, been many years since i have dealt with it but for example the attributes of the color need to be set to hairline and...

Joe, what weight hdu are you using? the only time i have encountered the issues such as you are describing is when using lower poundage materials. for me it is worth the expense to use 35# or higher materials as the finishing time is much less and the final product is so much better. and...

i/m just curious why everyone is priming? and before you stone me for asking this question do your research.

yeah i'm with a few of the above posters and feel like i am beating my head against a wall with posts like this. if the problem was that the building owner didnt want visable fasteners that is a whole different issue than the question that you asked I have a client that says absolutely no...

you need to sit down, slow down and write a comprehensive business plan (comprehensive) do some research we have spoke about this in depth many times. but it doesnt matter if you are working from home or on the busiest street in your town if you have no idea what you are going to offer, who you...

believe me i preach the same philosophy. if people want to work for free i can think of much more enjoyable things to do with your time. just my opinion, i am thankful in that i enjoy the work that i do but if i am working for free i am going to work in my garden or chase my child around the park

what i like about it the most. is that i know like all of your projects you were handsomely paid to build it. if more people in our trade would listen to you they would make a lot more money than many of them do.

now one thing that i am reading in the description above that i want to add. the instance that i described above each panel WAS gasketed. in regards to bigprinter i know people that swear that you if you leave an inch or two around the vinyl it is enough to allow the heat to escape. this...

honestly i dont know the science behind it. however, one case that i had to investigate when i sold vinyl was for a new construction of the headquarters for monstermoving.com they had a wall of glass at the front of their building) and all of the windows in the top row were sheeted out in black...

now seeing the amount of coverage on teh window i doubt you caused the breakage. but yes vinyl can cause glass to break i have seen multiple proven instances where windows were sheeted out in black and the heat caused the glass to break.

there is multiple things that concern me here. one that it is a stucco finish and second that it is over an entrance. i wouldnt offer a waiver i would insist that i install it with mechanical fasteners or that the customer takes the sign and installs it themselves.

i really have to say after following your work for more than 15yrs this is an area you really shine. before and after..redesign. good job as always.

yes pounce goes all the way through the paper. i bought a pallet of solid ply carboard for patterns 4X8 sheets they were less than $4 per sheet.

why would you do this rather than just using your router?

so seriously why not put a pounce attachment in the plotter? you could then either pounce your installation pattern or cut the areas out. i have had some success making patterns out of magnetic material (again on a plotter) or out of very thin styrene as well as rigid poster pattern...
