I need to butt 2 pieces on 6MM composite together with a frame around the outside. The sign is 2 sided and circular in shape and 8' diameter, 2 pieces of 4'x8' My question is how can I keep the center together so the wind does not affect it? Is there a glue or some sort of biscut type joint...

Does anyone use a work sheet/Work order form for getting all the info for pricing? Something with a generic vehicle template that we can write info on with measurements etc.? Just want to make it easier for our CSR to get all the info for estimator and designers. Maybe there isn't such a beast...

I am doing a print and contour cut label. The files are set up correctly in Illustrator, we have cut these in the past with no problem. Now all of a sudden the cuts are off, by quite a bit, some are 1/4" off. What could be causing this? Created a new file, same thing, running on a mac OS10.5...

I have been asked to print and install a large wall graphic 8' high x 60' long. I would be printing this in 52" x 8' tiles with 1/2" overlap. My question is what to charge for installation, I have never done one this big, do i discount my normal rate of $5.00 sq/ft? Most of the work we have...

Yes I thought that might be the case, the thumb cuts are very clean so I was just curious. Thanks guys!

Does anyone have a source for these? Ive searched my suppliers and google to no avail. Attached is a pic. they are 4" high 11" long. Any help is appreciated!

Has anyone dealt with Strata Sign Supply? They are based in California, I ordered a couple scrolling banner stands from them, they debited my account, have not received the stands after 2 weeks, tried calling and get and answering machine. No response from my emails, check on the website and it...

Thats why I was asking about the pricing so that I'm not gouging my customer. New to this vinyl stuff, and have been playing the pricing game in printing for 25 years. I didnt say I was going to finaaly charge the customer that price. We all had to start somewhere and was just looking for...

I did all the cut vinyl in house, all the design was done in house , just outsourced the big blue wave 3M Controltac IJ180C, it does have a gradient to it, just hard to see in the pic. Im coming in @ 2300 - 2600. Long time customer who just wants it done and trusts us to price fairly. They love...

I just finished 2 E250 vans with a combo of cut vinyl and printed vinyl. I have attached a few pics. How would you price the installation of this, i normally charge @ $5.00 sq/ft for cut vinyl to apply. But the big printed pieces are at another level of expertise, I had the pieces printed out of...

More info and Thanks! I am just printing the vinyl now, I can use .080 aluminum. I did not quote the job so what ever it takes to complete and look good is fine. The portion of wall where it is being mounted is painted plywood, exterior above a window. New to this type of work this year, this...

What would be the best way to mount an aluminum sign flush to a wall? The aluminum(.040) will be completely covered with a printed piece of vinyl, I dont want to drill holes, use screws, and cover with the vinyl,it shows to much. I have used stand - offs in the past, the customer doesnt like the...

Thanks! Yes, been doing vinyl for about a year, been applying mostly to aluminum and vehicles. Thanks for the info!

I have to make a small outdoor sign 2' x 4', the customer wants me to use plywood and paint it to match her paint on the wall(we have the paint), and apply printed vinyl to the sign. My question is what is the best plywood to use for this? I am assuming a smooth surface is best for the vinyl to...

Thanks for the replies. He also wants me to install.There is a total of 197 sq ft to cover, I dont see how sq ft pricing can be all bad as long as you know all the expenses involved and time it takes to complete a job and what type of a profit you want to make on each job. Im no stranger to the...
