Win10 hijacked me earlier this spring and my Omega 5 still worked...along with SignLab 9 and AutoCAD 14. I was able to roll back to Win7, thank the Good Lord... JB

Perhaps vinyl letters adhered to a wooden sign board? JB

Oy! He's using the diamonds but he wasted 3 or 4 inches inches of vinyl in the process. Put the diamonds within the artwork bounding box and you won't waste vinyl. JB

The diamonds serve as registration marks, and there's no unnecessary steps or wasted material. JB

Do your layout utilizing all your colors. Place two diamonds (45 degree rotated square) about .5 high somewhere within your design, and as far apart as possible. Weed your vinyl and leave the diamonds attached to the backer. (You'll cut diamonds with each color) Lay your first color...

Totally off subject, but I'm curious about their claim for helping you lose between .5 and 1.5 pounds per day. That rate is consistent only with a good case of intestinal flu. :omg: JB

Or in our line of business. Usually, diecutters run high volumes of the same job, not one-offs. JB

Most die cut vinyl is thermal kiss-cut. It's done with a heated die plate. It's extremely fast and is ideal for extremely small letters like you see on deck lids and rear bumpers (auto dealers branding) Learn about it here...

Sandblasting will remove the silver and leave a smooth, frosted etch. Lasers do some things extremely well, unfortunately, etching is not one of them unless it's a halftone photo. JB

About the size and shape of a VW Beetle. Always a slight bit of challenge when the shape, texture and obstacles dictate the layout (although we have the ability to shape and smooth problematic areas that inhibit the engraving). LHF Jewelo is one of my favorites for its retro appeal...

As for all that eye-sore election signage...it should all have to be 100% biodegradable...with a 90-day lifespan. JB

Wow...that was ironic. Whilst typing my first reply, a customer emailed me to say he specified the wrong death date for his wife's memorial. Fortunately, it's still in the pre-production process and I hadn't finished his final artwork approval papers. JB

Yep, this is what we do. It clearly states what we'll do if we were wrong, and it also explains what the customer should expect if they are wrong. Lately, we've had some customers saying that it looks good and to "just go ahead and run it" (they don't have time to mess around with...

Corrugated paperboard (cardboard) seems to come to mind... JB

We just did our new job board utilizing (tough-as-nails) farm implement white enamel. I put cast vinyl on it two days after we painted it. Looking back, I probably should have waited two or three more days. While the paint was technically "dry", I believe the oil base hadn't settled down...

Such a sad ending. Thoughts and prayers for his lovely gal, and his family. JB

Ditto. That'll get you every time. JB
