We have higher ceilings, but we've been adding the UFO round LED lights to phase out our flourescent fixtures.

We've used laser cut patterns out of 1/8 or 1/4" acrylic that we laser cut. I guess it will all come down to what processes you have to make the jigs - laser or CNC cut. I don't see why coro wouldn't work also.

We've had good success with Boss Laser too. It's a chinese machine, but they design and support it from the US.

Agreed on the bridge book. I just bought this one, although I got a small discount for Cyber Monday. Looks like it's $220 + Shipping and/or tax. https://www.pantone.com/color-bridge-guide-coated

Do you have a budget in mind? There's some really nice high end steel tables that I see on Instagram, but they're definitely spendy.

You could also mount vinyl decals 2nd surface to something rigid like clear acrylic so the vinyl never gets hit in their environment by water.

We try to always include: file handling, initial setup/testing, tooling costs, loading and unloading guesstimates and any prep work needed to clean/handle for bulk packing or assembly.

We used a banner,wooden dowels and we taped in a piece of 6mm PVC that was Vshaped with notches to capture the dowels.

Dave, I have someone that does this stuff. I think we lost their sample books in the flooding after IDA, but I should be able to find their information.

Any verdict on this?

Paulk style workbenches? Been itching to make some for our laminator infeed/outfeed so we can stow them in our pallet racks when not in use.

We use Wyld GFI and have nothing but great results with their team. I feel like it's been close to 20years that we've been working with them. I don't know the folks at Firesprint other than following them on here, but they seem well equipped, organized and should fit the bill too.

I always found that textured steel to need a really good wipe down and installation with some heat to get it to lay into the texture. It's not many that's I've hung on that stuff, but there's plenty of good advice in the thread on what to do.

Yes, this is my understanding too. UV inks are NOT 100% cured once off the printing press. I also thought that elastic or bendable inks cured even less.

Silvering almost completely goes away as said. It just takes time and warm/cool cycles to expedite.

We use this stuff a lot: https://www.innovative-laminations.com/en/products/ We just buy it with adhesive backing or add adhesive and mount it to whatever we're cutting.

We loved our TennSmith pneumatic sheer, but we honestly just scrapped it after flood damage and lack of use.

Whoa! Thank's Tomi G, I didn't know that was available. I use a plug in for dimension call outs from Hot Door called Cad tools and they've got a step and repeat option, but it's great to know it's also available in illustrator.

Yeah, it looks like your heads are failing. Are the nozzle tests showing deflection from the plate distortions?

We've put up the mactac bubble free stuff wet plenty of times too. It can be really finnicky to hang large panels dry with that stuff. It's honestly one of the cheapest frosted vinyls I've used and it does print quite well.
