After seeing this I went to look for Gino...I guess he is missing/banned. Interesting to note that some of the top members (according to the "Notable Members" section) are dead, missing or banned.

I have had some scam calls that are so well done it's amazing. One was that my power was going to be turned off because I hadn't paid to have my meter upgraded and if it was disconnected it would take up to 48 hours to be restored. Well the power company is upgrading meters in this area...but I...

Collection agencies are only effective if you have a rock solid paper trail.And they take a large fee. Si,if you do, you might as well file the suit yourself and save the money.

I don't think the cops knew what they were talking about. At a place I worked we went out and took down some sandblasted signs at night. The next day the cops were at the shop investigating the theft. We had them hidden and said nothing.They said if we got caught we would be arrested, Now there...

I usually ignore the BS, it's not hard to do. I do miss a lot of great sign people who have dropped out of here. I have a feeling it was a combination of the snark and the repetition of questions.

I would try an auto detailer, they can buff with polish compound and then wash.

I'd give an estimate which includes the time to take out the existing faces and bring them to the shop to use as templates..

I wonder if any of the old sign schools had movies? (Like Butera in Boston)

Try the Plotter Doctor. I use my edge every week, outlines on cut vinyl, spot color graphics, decals etc....amazing how much you can do within it's parameters. Right now I'm printing some reflective truck lettering with a black outline and 50 fire dept decals on reflective with transparent foils.

Yep, that's what a dead pixel looks like. That sucks. If you're really not into having a working edge then yes, its a parts machine.

I've run into glass and vehicles that have some kind of silicone sealer/protectorant. We have an assortment of cleaners and I don't know of one that works in every circumastnace, but the auto body prep cleaner is a good one to have available. Then clean with alcohol.

Yep, run a print test with a solid block of color. Clean head first with only "pure" alcohol. I use wipes made for thermal printers. The edge is a great machine for certain jobs, and it doesn't require any maintenance in between uses, and the foils never go bad.

Yep, the design would dictate how to do it.

Yes, hand drawn, we did a lot of that in the 70s. Loved those casual designs where precision didn't count.

I prefer "large" engine turn for most jobs. It looks closest to the hand done size. Small engine turn looks more fake. I've done a few with florentine for a different look.

I have sheeted 4x8s, but at that point just buy a 4x8 print. Or try similar materials from other suppliers as suggested. I wouldn't even discuss the mounting method with them, I would not want to have any responsibility for it. When I do installs like that I prefer slotted angle (thru bolted if...
