so confused...

Damn. Part of me wishes I could pick a fight with him just to see him in action... Amazing.

Scott Sign Systems has a lot of lines. I'm a huge fan of Vista System, very end-user maintainable. I also like System 290, highly customizable but minimally customizable by you.

haha, just emailed my rep, we'll see if they want $20k for them. Those things are damn nice though!

Hmm, I'm going to have to contact them to see if they are going to be selling those beautiful air-hockey sewing tables they have. We're going to build one for ourselves one of these days but I'd rather buy one premade.

Agreed, the way you wrote that made it sounds like you didn't think they had any right or any valuable need under any circumstance to use photos of the finished product, which I disagree with. Also agree about Ralphie, he should have known better. But, having employees is like having...

Yes and no. Take Gemeni for example, or Direct Sign Wholesale. They're in business to sell their product, be it laser-cut acrylic letters or lighted channel letters. They both have excellent and well thought-out catalogs. IMO those catalogs are heavily aided not only by photos of raw products or...

So who is this major vendor? I think they handled it about as well as they probably could given the circumstances. I don't know why it sounds fishy either, I fully understand wanting to get a photo of the finished product installed in it's final environment, makes sense to me. They still have a...

I'll chime in with similar Graphtec issues. We tried an FC5100, FC7100 and FC8000 before throwing in the towel and moving to a Summa S160D. Same issues with Graphtec, they couldn't find registration marks to save their lives. The only way we could get even remotely repeatable results was to...

Oh, I didn't think about the old school HiFi Jets, I was thinking he meant newer Soljets or Versacamms, seemed like an odd statement.

Not to sound rude, but where in the world is a Roland considered better than an Epson for fine-art reproduction?

We switched to inmotion hosting a few months back and so far it seems great. Good customer service and tech support and we haven't seen any servers go down yet.

Convex high-bond or another high-adhesive vinyl for low-energy plastics

Orbus Orbus orbus! Definitely not the cheapest but you can still make a buck on them and their quality is about as good as it gets.

What Artbot said is pretty much right on, they're extremely picky for the most part. It's also hard to be in that business without the input capability, either large format scanning, drum scanning or photography. An in-depth understanding of color management and color correction (far far beyond...

wowzers, get well soon Dan, that really sucks...

mrfern, he's not using self-adhesive vinyl, it's wallpaper media, applied with paste. Different animal altogether.

Typically you do not want an overlap or a seam anywhere near an outside corner, it's a potential failure point. We always have our panels wrap around the corner, keeping any seams a minimum of 12-18" away. I would confirm this with your installer to make sure you're on the same page, but this is...

Me too, those retainers look huge for a rigid face, they look like flex face retainers. If it is rigid, I second the C-clamps and crane to lift the face, and a second man in a bucket to guide it in. Done that many times and it works as advertised. On a face this big, we've also had success...
