+1. and even-so, a frame means a concealed border, which means you can have a 60" panel with a 59" print and as long as the frame is >5" then no one is the wiser.
silly rabbit. you'll need TWO extension cords: one for doodler, one for your phonograph
buuuut if you don't like carrying cords up ladders, then have ur grandkids loan you an ipod, and send up the drone instead!
My bad for slightly derailing the thread by blurting this out, but it would be cool tech to make logistical nightmares like watertowers a bit easier for those involved.
I believe there's other single-color ones already on the market, but for reference here's the Scribit Kickstarter.
would be cool if you could just program one of those wall-climing-doodlers to draw your pattern, and repell/paint-by-numbers.
"wrapping" it, however. whew, good luck. i'd love to watch, with a beer in my hand.
big fan of cutting lines of copy with a square-box around it for easy measurement, especially round/seriff lettering that may have a wicked mix of descenders that don't give you a proper square-line to measure from.
it also helps keep your transfer mask from lifting-off the backing paper prior...
back to the OP, polycarb can be jigsaw'd onsite if necessary. no sweat. get a proper survey for your overall dimensions, and just round the corners before you fasten the endcaps back-on.
edited to add: banter is fun. "bullying" may also have some insight worth considering. The world is a...
OTF isn't shady, I have installed many locations here in the Midwest and never had a problem collecting BUT we get everything in writing on the front-end, down-payment or we never show up in the first place. Sorry but not sorry. Its not like we NEED the $$$ to get-going, but it begins the...
^ above mentioned +1'd.
else, quickest way without changing any settings:
step 1: when you load material, it give you option for "roll" or "leaf", select "roll". Else "leaf" will cause the plotter to want to scan the whole length of the material loaded.
step 2: after that, the machine will...
i wash everything with isopropyl alcohol, I buy it in 5gallon drums at 90% strength and have a batch of spray bottles for "strong cleaning" and a batch of bottles I've watered-down to ~60% for "general cleaning".
For glass/acrylic/car body/polycarb surface cleaning/prep, I always just assume...
layering vinyl is ok, but highly recommended you build-up in terms of quality or it WILL fail. i.e. calendared base with cast overlay will work, as the cast vinyl will resist the shrinking of the calendared and the cast overlay will actually protect the calendared baselayer from exposure/aging...
we have argued this case successfully in the past, by explaining that 30/70, 40/60, etc perforated graphics is not "full coverage" and should be treated as such. you really can see-thru them if you're trying to look. however, the same argument has fallen on deaf ears in other townships as...
just throwing it out there, but roadside signage/lighting usually requires more than just digging a hole and setting the sign. A lot of the expense comes from multiple trips, survey>concrete&matchplate pour/install>sign install with breakaway bolt system.
totally agreeable, however, that the...
you would need to start by checking with ULC before making your final shopping list. Lotta channel letter fabricators out there shipping stuff to clients that aren't able to be installed because they lack electrical certification.
Otherwise, the upcoming ISA Sign Expo would be a great resource...
