  1. Router / cutter for new sign shop

    Can't say I agree with that. Hand jig saw isn't going to be as fast or as clean. Yea you can make it clean, but not 100 of the same sign blank all matching perfect. And not in the amount of time it will take the CNC machine to do it. We use a CNC machine all day, every day and we don't do...

  3. Need Help Golf course sign materials

  5. Paying to Play

    We see this with various property management companies. Usually you pay to be on the new companies vendor list. If you don't want to pay they don't advertise you to their other companies that they do AP for. The company you work for still submits the invoice for payment though even if you...

  7. HP L25500 Random Out Of Alignment

    I had a similar thread going on reflective materials. What's the backer for your vinyl made out of. Is it super smooth. I believe our issues come from some sort of slipping on the pinch rollers. We've also thought it might be due to adhesive build up on the platen under the heater section...

  10. Graphtec CE2000-60 Inaccurate Cutting

    What do the grit rollers tension levers on the back look like. Possibly moving as it cuts because it doesn't have the right down force across the roll. Slow it down. The knife might not be able to get through that paint mask fast enough so as it rolls it's pulling or pushing and moving the...
  11. How to properly apply a 10cm x 10cm vinyl sticker

    Just use a piece of tape on the top and then stick it on. We are talking about a 4"x4" sticker. These things are tiny. Masking tape the top to the object and use a 6" squeegee and squeegee down. Done.

  18. Can a SummaCut D120 make contour cuts on chrome vinyl?

    You have to trick the media. My guess is whatever reads the marks is getting too much reflection from the chrome. Your going to need to help the machine to read the marks. Matte lam or regular transparent tape sometimes works. Or transfer tape over the marks and redraw the marks on top of...
