Just make sure it runs before you commit. Otherwise they are as breakage prone as an anvil. We have tried our best to wear out our D610. It insists on running.LOL There has literally been miles put through it. Load 50 yard roll and go to dinner. No worries save for having to weed 50 yards...

This may or may not help. When we were printing large orders for another shop on our SP540V I seriously considered getting another one. Why? Main reason is redundancy. There are several others: If one printer goes down we can cannibalize one to run the other. No messing with new...

For long stripes we use our Summa.

QFT.^^^ Instructors will tell you who can "step" with the program. Best part is they'll give you their attendance history.

Too kewl!

75 is about it for us. And never in direct sun. Some years back one of our clients needed his new shop truck done before he took it on a out of state job. Long story short it was beastly hot and the graphics were like mushy noodles. Wife stood behind me with the garden hose spraying a light...

Probably use whatever is laying around for testing purposes. If it turns out well then I will polish some sheet stock before milling. Good tip on the Testors model paint. Didn't know that some urethanes have issues bonding with aluminum, but then again you know way more about it than me.

Nice tutorial. Thanks for posting. Gotta admit I only use Color Range to extract images from simple backgrounds.

Size: 2.6" x 1.02" x 0.100". I'm thinking about trying these with 0.125" material to give a bit more fill depth. Since you are the resident master regarding this style of work what epoxy would you recommend? I like the lacquer idea also, but makes me think about using a single stage...

Morning guys, To answer Artbots question the lettering is approximately 0.030" raised from the background. Biker Scout your idea for the baking crystals is brilliant. Wonder if Hobby Lobby has them...? Also wonder how UV resistant they are although I could use automotive clear over the top...

Not sure if this is the right spot. but here goes. What epoxy or other product do you use to fill in the background on CNC'ed aluminum? I'm trying to duplicate some antique boat badges and they have a black background with polished letters. I'm assuming the original process was cloisonné and...

Imprintables Warehouse has the perforated material for your application. Not exactly sure about lining up the holes though.

And I thought everyone on this forum liked the slow agonizing "death by committee" process. Learn sumthin' everyday...:Big Laugh

Turn my clients daughter loose with their high pressure steam cleaner. She got a shop truck dirty just before I was supposed to letter their new one. Ended up doing two trucks. Mom wasn't happy.

Thank you for telling me where you buy yours. Much appreciated.

Kudos! :thumb:

Any issue with aftermarket wipers? Always used OEM, but $24 each now is nuts considering generics are less than $3.

We just finished cutting side by side 17' long stripes with our ancient Summa. Perfectly straight. Use the guides in the core, take your time to line up the material, and slow it down a tad.

Complex images I want in vector format get sent out. Besides the fact that top level vectorization programs cost more than a small house. For the price charged you can't do it yourself unless your time is worth nothing.

Thank you very much.
