  1. Discussion What do you wish you had a better source for?

    Pretty simple question. For me, I'd love to find more cost effective options when I don't need a full sheet of something. It would be great to be able to buy half sheets from my normal suppliers.
  2. Need Supplier for Printed & Cut "Frosted" Vinyl

    Small part of a bigger job. I'm looking for someone that can do a small job where they print and contour cut on some etched vinyl. Dimensions will be something like (2) - 15"x45" Thanks in advance.
  3. Small Cut Letters - Opinions on Vinyl/Paint/acrylic on face only

    I have to cut some 2.5" letters out of 12mm PVC. Not a big deal but painting them afterwards is a pain. I always play with the idea of just putting viny/paint on the face and leaving the edge black or white, but I never do it. I did some searching around today and it seems like all the big...
  4. PVC Edges: Any way to get a better result?

    Most of my signs are signs on posts and the edge isn't all that important. I sand it with 320 grit paper to get it as smooth as possible. Roll a coat of primer to help fill and get it a little smoother again. Then I throw on a couple of coats of paint. It's fine, but not great. I'm looking...
  5. Crazy PDF Question: How can I go into multipage file and change all text color?

    I have a 51 page document. I have to change all the text from black to green. The only way I know how to do it is open the PDF in Illustrator and change one page at a time. I know I can do it this way and it will work. My question is, is there a more efficient way? I'll be honest, I'm...

    I just can't seem to find this font. Help?
  7. How big does a job have to be to do an onsite estimate/evaluation?

    I'm curious where others draw the line. My time was promised to go visit a small business because they want to throw some dimensional letters on the wall. It's going to end up being (11) 4-5" letters and (9) 3-4" letters. Not a big job by any means. I'm not even doing the install. It's...
  8. Exterior Grade Clear Coat for Brass

    95% of the time I can convince a customer to switch from brass to something else for exterior use. Most of the time I'm able to just warn them it will tarnish and look bad after a few years when the lacquer starts breaking down, and they accept it and move on because it's not a huge expense...
  9. Older Script Font ID Help

    Any help figuring out which font this is would be appreciated. It's a pretty old item so I'm hoping the font is still kicking around. It's old enough where it may not even be computer generated so something similar is more than acceptable. Thanks in advance.
  10. Acrylic Vendor: Custom Laser Cutting & Direct Printing

    I'm looking for a source for laser cutting acrylic and direct printing. It's a decent sized order of 200-250 pcs. It will either be cut out of .5" or .75" clear acrylic. Anyone have a good source to work with?
  11. Logo for Me. Let the abuse begin.

    Logo for me. B&W on the top obviously. Bottom two are two different color combinations. Colors still need tweaking. I'm going to try to work up another version over the weekend. My #1 priority was making a logo that would look good when made into a dimensional sign, could be used in print...
  12. Advice Needed: How to Best Offer Services to Local Sign Shops

    Let me first preface this post by saying I'm not soliciting business on here. I'm simply looking for advice. I own a 4x8 CNC, decent sized laser cutter/engraver, small laser cutter/engraver, and some other equipment many sign shops don't have. I'd like to offer my services to local sign...
