Update::: Can’t remember how many times already I open and fix the ball bearing that was originally bad from the factory and supposedly they fixed. I don’t even know what I do. Just open up the side gate f the table bearing unit and it starts working And again… less than 2 years after...

I want to share my experience with a purchase of brand new UJF-7151. We experienced nothing but problems from day one with no real care or support from Mimaki. Problems still exist after year an a half with no resolution. This was the worst and most unreliable machine we have. Problem 1)...

So, SignVox will no longer be supported and the price for us for the software will more than double (we are total of 7 users). I'm at square one in looking for alternate product. I did watch ShopVox demo, but my questions were not really answered and the program seemed using overly too many...

Thank You Brad. Yes I'll be using new Aluminum sheets (pre painted 080 kind). They are for monuments and I don't want the paint to fail say in couple of years. We will sand it with 400 grit but Sounds like priming also may be a good idea. i also thought Mathews also has a gray primer?

Hi everyone, Im trying to Paint Aluminum Sign Blanks with Matthews. I dont know if priming is necessary or not. I cant find the infor on Matthews website or by calling them. They have a great material prep guide but it does not cover aluminum sign blanks which are painted. It only covers raw...

its about 50 wide x 26 high

Hi Everyone, I had a last minute add on to our project and the contractor wants us to provide side lit 1" thick letters. I called Gemini but they dont make them. Cause timing is of the essence I want to know a) how i can make them b) where can i order them. So here is my question. First and...

Thanks Brad, please share the blog url. Would love to see a scratch or a drawing

Hey everyone. im trying to make a aluminum monument. I'm going to give it to metal fabricator but am a bit puzzled how to do the reveal. Its a a standard box aluminum monument with a bottom section, reveal and the top section. I'm thinking the frame will be made of aluminum angle and the...

Hi all, given the Signvox may be forcing changing into Shopvox and which will mean a significant price increase (from $160 to $300 for 10 employees) we started to look into other options especially that we also use QB Online Pro ($30 for 3 users with excellent accounting capabilities). We have...

Still Evaluating My shop is still evaluating SignVox with one office using it and another still on Q/B and paper. I have to say that having Quote/Invoice/Order match is an absolute nice thing as we do in in the Q/B. One of my biggest issues with S/V is inability to effectively assign jobs...

1. Yes, exactly. Under setup, the software has an area where we set up the default production person. Lets call it Person AA. When I quote a job with multiple itmes (in my case a whole bunch of different signs (Exit, Exit Route, Exit Stair Down, NFPA, Door lock, Office num, etc) this can easily...

Yea, that's a serious issue. It's great if you have a whole bunch of customers with one or two items in order but nothing more. any comments on V sign software??? They seem to have my no 1 concern. At least they claim they do. I don't have experience with it. Or any other software??? Need...

We have been using signvox in parallel with another invoicing software for some time in hopes we can move to signvox completely for estimating and invoicing. but due to some lacking features, I started to consider other software. 1) I cant effectively quote for jobs that have multiple 10/20...

Break can't do a sharp corner though especially on 1/8 thick piece can it? The corner needs to be a sharp corner almost like an extruded alum angle (no radius or 1/64th radius)

Forgot mention: the thicknes is 1/8th.

Hi, I have a requirement to make a office sign (wayfinding) where the front of the sign in polyurethane painted 1/8 aluminum that has a sharp bend at the top towards the wall. Im not sure hot to get that perfect sharp angle. Bending will have a radius which is unacceptable. Any ideas???

Hi All I got a Rotary Engraver to make ADA signs but the cjhalenge i cant figure out is how to keep the letter edges straight (vs. beveled) and equally importantly I do not want any cutting on the substrate. Is it just done with dept control of the cutter only? Seems so hard especially if the...

Situation is this. Can't use Krylon because the color I use most is custom. We had a store make laquer based paint and put it in a can for us but there are issues with that and I don't want to use laquer. Just invested in entry level HVLP (from Home Depor). I will invest in Sata and Iwata but...

Not sure if I'm posting to the right forum. I am looking for a paint to paint acrylic with. krylon Fusion works fine but most of the time I need a custom color. Dont want to prime it either as half the time I do subsurface paint anyways. Been using a laquer based paint but want to switch to...
