  2. Best adhesive for acrylic to stainless?

    a small piece like that would work using double sided banner hem tape.
  3. Starting on my own

    Get a plotter with SERVO motors. Do not get a STEPPER motor cutter. If you decide to go CHEAP and get a stepper motor cutter you will need a sound proof room to run it. STepper motors run so loud you will not talk in the same room. I run my Anagraph cutter using servo motors in the same room...

    best is screws..
  5. Told I was Too High?

    I think its time for you to attend a few business classes at the local training center. In all sincerity. If charging that amount is even a remote thought you need another year of business schooling for sure. A pricing guide wil get you an idea where to start.. But, a pricing guide will never...
  6. Extending my computer display

    why not just extend the display with a long hdmi cable? And it should power a dual display The new machine should have hdmi out. And you can get a large display fitted with hdmi in for about 120 bux
  7. Price Beatdown

    You charge the same or more.. NEVER less. A lesser prices lowers the set point for the entire area. That is not smart business. You add value to the product by throwing in a special add on. Why? Because the laws of economics and capitalism say so. A business is an entity that is supposed to...
  8. Price Beatdown

    Nope. It isn't. All those in any type of association get together and discuss prices. Then set the rates.
  9. Price Beatdown

    auto repair shops use a standard rate of charges. Why not us? I just had my car looked at by a few auto shops. They all quoted about the same price 700 for the same job. They went online and input the data. The price came out within a few bux of each. Why do we insist on beating each other to...

  12. Vinyl Lettering Coming Off

    Rapid Prep is cleaner for this job. Rapid Prep has one of the best degreaser ingredient around. Then clean it again with a proper cleaning agent and not use soap. Then use CAST vinyl.
  13. 5x5' back lit, Am i in the ballpark?

    There is no friggin way he can do that much work for that price and be around for long. Doing a grand worth of work for a grand is not a way to run a business. Unless he is stealing the materials.. He will be gone soon enough..
  14. software

    No and they used to cut vinyl with an exacto too!. Oh they also painted cave walls with a burnt stick.. Cocut and cocut pro PRO has it all. And more lots more. It makes your vector art program such as Corel draw and Illustrator and Autocad or all three on the same computer into full blast sign...

  16. Need a BIG scanner

    Do not use a point and shoot camera. You need a regular digi cam and use a long lens such as a 100 to 150 mm. That will lose the distortion and make a good print for you. I use a D3000 Nikon camera with a 150 mm lens just for this case..
  17. Boss is p*ssed!!!

    just as in computer repair which runs a wide gamut of expertise.. There is the same in every other profession. Some here can hand paint while some could not find a brush if one was handed to them. I have been given lesser terms of endearment because I do not care about the specs on the latest...

  20. CarveWright?

    You are correct. The costs will add up. But the cnc machine is not the main cost. All the support equipment is what adds up. Cutters, dust collection, hold downs, other tools, and a work space are all the same no matter how big the cnc machine. Do not forget spoilage. IT is huge at first. There...
