So remember that round a corner cabinet sign? I finally took the panels down and the edges were in fact clipped as Gino said but it is only 1/16 of an inch thick and I can't find any of my suppliers to have something in white polycarbonate in a 5' by 8' flat panel sheet or roll stock. Any ideas?

Hey everybody! I just had to share this low ball estimate from another local shop I got a call about today. Customer was super nice and said "So I got another estimate and it's half of what you quoted me. I wanted to make sure there wasn't a mistake on your end" I told him to forward me the...

Hey there, I recently got into doing back lit sign cabinets as my vendor assembles them fully (UL certified and all) and all I have to do at the shop is put the graphics on the faces. I was wondering if there is a general rule of thumb of marking these up. My vendor said a 40% margin is...

So I am expanding out to different sign types as I have picked up a new substrate vendor and I wanted to touch base on my pricing for some pan faces as I haven't done these before. I'm doubling my substrate cost btw. This estimate is for 2 pan faces that make up 1 light box sign. We are...

Good evening everyone! I picked up a slightly used VJ 1204 and was wondering if anyone had a tutorial for contour cutting using a cutter so I can print/cut half wraps. I am using flexi 12 for the rip. Thank you!

Just wanted to post this for comparison for you guys. I have a Roland Versacamm SP-I series and found out why a print/cut file with this same blue came out beautiful and a small sign with the same came out washed out. The file that came out great was saved as a EPS and the washed out file was...

Hey guys, I have a simple question for everyone. What is the general rule of thumb for doing lettering with a outline as far as pricing goes. Do you double the price or just add 50% onto the price to account for the outline? I'm doing a estimate for a repeat customer and just wanted to see...
