It's a new way to penalize the sign shop or customer, or both. They city and their fees...

In our city, if you make the sign and the customer installs it they can come back on you and fine or take your sign license. The thought is only to have professional sign installers installing signs. That way they aren't falling off the building killing people. It's a pain, but ever since we...

Are these interior or exterior use?

Hey Patrick, We are using onyx with our VK as well. I have a profile for CMYK that prints everything good besides red, it either looks too pink or too red. I have a white profile that prints reds beautifully but if I'm printing images it looks like everyone got a sunburn. We go back and...

We have a Vanguard VK300D, we love it. The only this is with the white ink, there is more prep involved to have it print nicely. We are running it with Onyx Thrive. We've never needed a clear option, but I'm sure they can help you out with it.

So if you had a router and just routed out of 3/4 Black PVC and drilled stud holes, material cost would be $1.75/number and take a fraction of the time. I'm all for 3D printing, it just doesn't make sense cost/time to me. Unless I'm missing something...

Welcome to the club!

We have a Safety Speed, we've had it for over 20 years with a few replacement parts here and there. I think the most we have to do was get the saw motor worked on.

We have a Vanguard VK300D-HS, it's nice because you can add heads as needed. We've had ours for 3 years with very few issues that have been able to be fixed over the phone quite easily.

We have the Kala applikator, the reason we went with Kala is because we had their laminator already with little to no issues. We use it everyday, not as much as after getting a Vanguard flatbed printer. It's a pretty fool proof machine, you can lay a 4x8 by yourself in a no time at all.

My big concern would be getting the letters UL listed... Everything lit in my area has to be UL listed per the city. You could probably route out HDU and make channel letters that way with a lot more speed.

If you subscribe to the flexi version of creative cloud all the Adendo training is included. PLUS they have a find my font app/software that would help out a ton of people on this site and just save a ton of time.

We have a Multicam now but are looking to replace it in the next couple of years... Their service is awful, great machine but no support. It all depends on your budget, I would suggest getting larger than what you need. If you don't you'll be wanting a bigger. Just do a lot of research, we are...

We get a 18 gallon drum from Safety Kleen and get it emptied almost once a year.

Johnson Plastics, if you want something more modern MBS

The white is a milky opacity, it's not as opaque as our Vanguard. It works well enough for most things. But you waste a 1/16 of the ink to load and unload it. You can't keep the white ink in the machine unless your using it. So we try to group all the white jobs together and if we have one...

Make sure you post heat it, you need to heat it to 200 degrees to give the vinyl new memory. We use a heat gun and a infrared thermometer. Like state above, use an adhesion promoter as well.

We just upgraded due to Windows 11... The only thing I can't do is Poll size the material in my plotter now.

We have had a Vanladder for a little over a year. Like most things we should've bought it sooner. Our lift rental costs per month were more than the payment on this. Plus ever time we rented something it was an hour to get it and an hour to deliver it back. We had to get DOT listed, get all...

We have a Kala Arkane 1650, it's the same as the Mistral but it has heat assist. We've had it for 8 years, the only issue was people rolling over the foot pedal wire and it had to be replaced. When we were looking into an application table, we also went with the Kala because of the reliability...
