  1. Okay, tell me why this installation won't work.

    How about 1" box tube steel w 1/8-3/16" wall? A 20 footers are around $24 each up here in the mountains, could be less where you are. If you can weld, or get some welding donated you can add a couple of 10-12" cross tabs of flat stock. Gives you four anchor points for your sign. Should sit...
  2. Need Plotter advice....

    I would get another Mimaki. We have had our CG-130 FX for about 3 years, and I love it. It is a workhorse that hasn't let us down yet.

    Sorry to confuse. My point was just that I didn't clean the window w anything special. Just windex. Wiped it dry w paper towel before application.
  7. Cold weather install

    Hello, I run the sign shop for a major ski area in Colorado, and for a variety of reasons, we have to do this all the time. I don't like to, but it is very doable. You just have to be careful. I recently installed a 1 ft by 10 ft cut vinyl graphic (Gerber/3M 220 cast) across 3 windows at one of...
