I am 65 and still at it, so no wuss here.

It's a small shop with three employees (counting the owner). He's a micromanager and takes the less labor-intensive work for himself. Tablework, cutting, and fabrication are all good exercises, yet they wear down the hands, arms, and shoulders. The doctor said my torn rotator cuff was the result...

I just turned 65. That's old in some people's books, but I should be as fit as an athlete according to some others. If you feel no pain at that age, more power to you.

Let's talk about the sign business and your health. I have been in the business for 31 years. In the last three years, my joints have begun to complain. Two years ago, I was out of work for a month due to a partially torn rotator cuff. The shop owner didn't know how to deal with worker's comp...

OK, thanks. How about thermoforming the signs?

I am wondering how costly in time and labor as opposed to using a router and raster machine.

The architect's requirement is that the Braille and letters be "an intrinsic part of the sign and cannot be removed." This is needed in locations where the signs could be vandalized. All of the bids documents we received for schools have this mentioned in the description.

Thank you for the replies. I think maybe I should offer to show you some links of the signs I am talking about. https://www.bestsigns.com/prod_gbmp.html http://www.mohawksign.com/specifications/specifications.cfm

Our shop is looking for more ways to create ADA signs for institutions where they do not want applique letters and raster Braille beads. I had come across two other techniques - sand carving and graphic blast. I am familiar with sandblasting signs, but never heard of using the method to make ADa...

I am installing Omega 2.6 on a Windows 7 PC. There seems to be a couple of issues during install. I get side-by-side and DLL errors once I try to load the software after install. One pop-up says I need to register the .osx file with Windows. A reference website states it has to do with C++ 2005...

It's at 100%, forced to the actual dimensions of the graphic (12x18). Should I work with scaling in the layout settings window?

The software is Gerber Composer. Com port 1. How do I communicate with the plotter outside of the software? Is that G-Code? Gerber is proprietary.

Yes, it is.

I am cutting vinyl for street signs measuring 12x18 on a Gerber GS15plus. The 12" dimension cuts properly, however the 18" dimension is cutting at 18.375". We tried calibrating and went through the settings but with the same outcome each time. We have two plotters, so we tried the same on the...

My research couldn't find anyone in my area.

We tried decals. The customer would rather have the logos printed onto the hard hats because it looks "nicer."

We have 32 hard hats that need a two color logo on the front and a one color logo on the back. It would be great if we could find a shop close to Florida.
