after selling and servicing every one of the big name brands
and having owned machines from Gerber, Roland, Graphtec and Summa
my vote goes with Summa great company great product
but to be fair you will get great results from any of the big boy brands
Charlie are you in the sign business? if this is your first paying project and you are asking the questions that you are...i have to agree you are a little backasswards to say the least. who you purchase this "fine" setup is the least of your concerns if you are asking these questions. but...
i have set up more than a couple routers in cabinet shops. in that environment you could not operate without a dust collection system. but there is a huge difference between the work load and materials used in the different businesses.
if you are going to be doing cabinet work to...
isign... i am hesitant to give my input... as i am tired of all of the chuckleheads that hear something contradicting to what they read or heard and even though they have no real life experience they definitely have an opinion.... but here it goes. i am NOT a fan of dust collection systems...
i assumed it was vinyl with my advice above. i am reluctant to give advice out on how to remove it if it is painted as the damage that could be done by untrained persons could be horrific and this is in the forum that is open to all. if it is painted pm me and i will give you the steps i...
i would place heat lamps or use a heat gun to warm the vinyl with the aid of a lil chizler or razor blade remove old graphics the majority of hte adhesive should come up with the vinyl if it is heated to the correct range, use an adhesive remover of your choice to remove any...
WoW
my advice would be to start from scratch

you've been given great information sorry it doesnt agree with the "research" you have done. the desay should work out great for you. just remember when you are pulling your hair out you had your own ideas and dont come asking for drivers, instructions, repair advice, etc that you can not find...
it will look fine.
i dont know your experience level but with this being the first job of this type i am guessing it is at the lower end of the spectrum. depending on the amount of screws it would be faster for an experienced installer to go over them but it will be easier for you if you...
you should consider being a merchant member i dont have anyone that i trust to build awnings at the moment and i get calls and emails weekly from other sign shops looking for a reputable awning fabricator...there is definitely a need
i love signs too
nice to hear of someone starting a sign company because they've actually worked in the industry and decided it was time to go at it on their own...you might *MIGHT have half a chance. good luck to you and welcome
upon asking we did discover that they will give a trade discount if you are buying full rolls. we ordered a few rolls for a project and it was discounted heavily but still expensive...
there is a line of vinyl that is being offerered to architects and some designers that i have just been made aware of that has some effects that i have not seen offered in teh sign industry...it has a glue chipped glass as well as some other effects i've never seen offered. i will put a call...
took a look at your website. if you plan on doing work for others in our trade i'd really work on that...yikes it looks like you just pulled other pictures off of the internet
Tommy I am all for doing with what you have..and free is a very good price. But having owned one of these machines and sold them and dealt with more customer issues than I care to remember...and spent more time than I care to remember pulling my hairout troubleshooting these machines to try...
