  1. What CNC Router should I buy

    i love how people who own a particular brand think that is the answer...multicams are reliable machines that will get the job done, but there are MANY other choices... when this post began we had no idea what his budget was, what his space requirements were...we now know that money and space...

  3. Light Adhesive Vinyl?

    there is paint protective film but it is high dollar if you are looking for a cost effective solution that can be easily removed after each transport you might experiment with the old trick of taking a pair of jeans or a t-shirt and gently applying it to the backside of the vinyl prior to...
  4. Vinyl Pricing?

    blah blah blah....after all this it still sounds like you are stealing from work and don't have a clue what you are doing. 'i'm a fabricator' blah blah blah...last time i figured out the square footage of sheet metal, carpet, or plain ole vinyl the same formula was used...if i've learned...
  5. Wraptor, you need to Wregister!!!!

    yeah that's the same problem i have with that scenario (of no complaints) i can not imagine that they have sold THOUSANDS of units, as i said the sign manufacturing market is a pretty small segment..the wrap industry is smaller still and at the price point of this tool i can't imagine that there...
  6. Getting hosed by a supplier

    i agree it is sad. i would rather do business with a handshake..but that is not the world we live in and pretending or imagining that we do is only going to set you up for disappointment.
  7. What CNC Router should I buy

    depends on what material you are cutting if a knife is better than a router, most shops that i have encountered if they are cutting complex shapes (something other than squares and rectangles) they use a router, but then you have to have a separate area because of dust and debris generated from...
  8. What CNC Router should I buy

    actually CE there are ways to setup your files so that you can take a printed sheet from a flat bed place it on your router and cut it to shape without an optical registration system (an eye). it requires setting up your files in a certain manner but it is absolutely possible...you can do it...

  10. Wraptor, you need to Wregister!!!!

    in my other life i work with inventors..helping them take a realistic look to see if there is a market for their product, prototyping, if it is better to market their product themselves or to try to sell it outright. we also share our experiences with product liability, packaging ideas that help...
  11. Getting hosed by a supplier

    lol i love how people add to the story after people give answers...put the whole situation out there. i'll say it again if you make assumptions on situations like this you are setting yourself up to be disappointed. you think joe salesperson is going to open himself up to management questioning...
  12. What CNC Router should I buy

    lots of questions should be answered before you make this purchase. what type of work do you intend to do with your router? i know shops that are never going to do anything other than cut custom shape panels, i know other shops that are going to be doing full 2.5 dimension pieces all day long...
  13. Getting hosed by a supplier

    in my experience it is important to be crystal clear when these situations arise, do not assume anything. make sure to ask "and you will be covering the expedited freight to insure that we receive the material in time to do the job because of your oversight"... if these things are clarified...

  18. Cleaning Fluid?

    you can find most msds sheets online but if not your sign supplier that you buy the product from should have them all you have to do is ask...it is good practice to have msds sheets on hand for every product you store. i have clients who have had employees get things in their eyes, i...
  19. Cleaning Fluid?

    i wish that everyone would take this into account before throwing answers out there without knowing the knowledge or skill level of the people asking the question. and regarding the question regarding what the active chemicals are in your particular cleaning fluid i would start by looking at...
  20. Trademarking your logo

    i'm sure you can do it yourself..but i've always used my attorney for my own and my clients. i applied for a patent once and it took me the better part of a month to gather everything that they wanted and navigate through the paperwork, the next one i hired an attorney it was the best money i...
