single pass, clean edges. perfection is never cheap. We do a lot of half inch gator and ultraboard, perfect cuts with no little grains tenting the adhesive when we mount.

keencut steeltrack... not a saw though. It's so clean and dust free I have it in the same room as the laminator. Can cut up to an 84 inch width. Dibond, glass, acrylic scoring. A dream to use. http://www.keencut.com

Don't get me started on %^&@ Purolator! Sometimes its all they can do to walk up to the door. ...and if they HAD a Grimco in Canada, I would take all my business elsewhere. :) It seems to me all Grimco did was poor response to your complaint. They clearly have a problem driver and are...

I guess I side with the charge the most the market will bear group. I want to be making $30+ per sign rather than $30 per 10. If my market was saturated with garage based vinyl pickers I would either drop my prices or drop the product line. The economics of signage are no different from...

:popcorn: This is so like CB radio in the 90's... I guess for most this is just entertainment with a little learning thrown in. Nothing is more compelling than a bunch of people getting upset and thowing #$%@ at each other. Thats why I have this open on my RIP computer while I prep files...

good thread. I have noticed recently how harsh the welcome can be to people with serious questions (or even typos). I don't completely agree people have to use real name or avatars, but I do think there should be more censure when an *** starts braying. I for one am no longer going to use...

$99 is the bar for us, but we will go lower for existing/regular customers. If it's an online job it will be $99 plus shipping.

okay, you have $5k, but you need a lot of other incidentals to get going and they cost money too. How about financing your equipment, say for 48 or 60 months? That way you hang on to your capital and it helps you over the first year of start up. Just about everyone here is in this business...

I give up. :banghead:

I did notice that, however did it take a lot of thought to see the error? Even if the guy meant feet, people started chewing on him. Oh joy a mistake, fresh meat!

jeez what a mob. How many read "per square inch"? If that is just a cutting charge and not a vinyl charge it is a little high, depends on how intricate the picking. for four foot letters it is high. for half inch letters it is looooow. I'm more interested in the mentality of this forum to...

It's a delicate balance. We usually don't get a deposit on design/proofing, but require 100% on approval of the proof. This policy sometimes bites us when a customer runs off with the design or decides not to proceed, however 99% of the time getting to see the design before laying down the...

Maybe his aim is to kill the local wrap business by doing it for cost.

Nice to have that (clean) space available.

I'm kind of impressed, I can read Arabic! I wonder what other languages I know. My guess is the installer was given the file and couldn't read English.

give it 5 years it will be on a concept car, 10 years in production. I doubt it will be for the invisible car, but imagine being able to choose the "wallpaper" for your car that day.

But was the perspective tool worth the upgrade price? I'm incensed that Indesign 5.5 is not compatable with 5 (at least call it 6 if the files don't cross) Adobe used to be a funky rebel. Now they are just a corporate parasite, adding nothing new of value yet bleeding the industry for...

Given the products you are going into, most of your efforts should be marketing. Production should be outsourced until you have the volume to support decent equipment. Since you have a lot of competition there is very little profit per item, so either you grow quickly or have another source of...

they are waiting for you to buy CS5.5. The next day 6 will be released.

Hi from Tropical Canada, just understand that this will very likely cost you your friendship.
