Sign products don't even rate a mention....it's a shame. Gerber basically invented CAD sign programs & machines and then through a combination of bad decisions and poor performance fell way behind. Their plotters and the Edge are some of the best machines made for what they do and their design...

Lots of good suggestions. For years we mostly cut on the track saw or table saw with a good fine blade. Few years back picked up a used 52" stomp shear, wish I'd bought one years ago.

Why is there so much prejudice against print/cut? Seems like the perfect machine for a shop with limited space and/or lower volume.

Has anyone confirmed that Oracal is discontinuing 15"? Still have 3M/Gerber, Arlon, Avery....

I've run into towns with "Architectural Review Boards" that can refuse anything they feel like

I don't have the 360 but do have other HPs. I have been using HPs for about 15+ years. After the original warranties ran out I fixed them myself. It's not difficult, just time consuming for some fixes, especially if you're not doing it a lot. Then I switched to extended warranties on refurbs I...

We have them all...what works on one project doesn't work on the next. Favs are Max Pro Remover, Rapid Remover and alcohol. We had a job last week that all the residue cleaned up nice with MaxPro but nothing touched one area, finally had to use lacquer thinner.

Yep, choke & spread, but it can take some experimenting to find the best settings. Also sometimes I have issues when doing more than a few colors in one print.

We buy masking tape from an auto paint store which doesn't leave any residue. We use blue or green for installing in interior walls or any surface we are concerned about.

One of the risks with heat is a pre-existing but invisible crack will expand and become your problem

It needs to be buffed with polish compound Problem is these trailers are often made cheap and you may go thru the yellow.

On really old vinyl I've used a hairdryer, and start from a distance. But it's mostly done with a razor and windex as a lubricant. Of course confirm it's glass, razors can mar polycarbonate.

only thing I have to understand is the best pizza in the country is a mile from my shop...and now I'm restricted to one slice :banghead:

If the painter is a body shop, definitely. If it it's a house painter maybe.

Extruded means the aluminum squeezed through a "mold" to create the profile. The way we used to make most boxes was by bending .040 sheets on the brake in our shop. Now they're mostly done with purchased extrusions that get cut to size and joined at the corners

Just put the magnets on while on the job site

If your area requires permit with engineering stamp you should ask the engineer. If no permits required I always overbuild I'd use at least 6"x6" with 2x4 stringers but would probably switch to steel posts with angle iron top and bottom. Here I'd be a minimum of 3 foot down in concrete. Cables...

You can create the "design" once but will have to create the four backgrounds separately Then scale the text/icon to fit the background and place it
