acrylic
if i were you i would defintally use acrylic which you can get in red...the light shines through very nicely but yet you can still read the sign as well...now if your printing the image why not use a clear plexiglass and just print a large transperant print? that would still be pretty reasonable and ow yeah go with aluminum its nice and they last...
good luck

Okay, there AiA….. you asked me to go back and re-read your thread and I did just that. I read every post a second and third time.
You’ve managed now…. to waste my time. Other than a few colorful remarks…. nothing was done at your expense or to your precious little reputation. You, on the other hand, got way out of control and started name calling and pointing fingers at various posters and I guess you might just say…. when someone jumps on my friends and fellow tradesmen…. I will assess the situation and back the fairest player and that happens to be any of the people from :signs101:
You’re accusations are piss-poor and way out of bounds and I although I have nothing to say about who comes and goes from this place…. don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Besides all of that, who really cares who said this or that ?? That’s just a bunch of busy-body stuff and you know it. The real concern here is what you are doing to your area from a sign maker’s point of view vs. the law.
By the way…. do your self a favor and get a second opinion from a real attorney that knows the law about codes and not some fly-by-nighter that gives you such a line of crap. Figures he's a member of YOUR family.
Do it your way and I’m sure I can find someone to make an inspection on your signs in your neighborhood. I know quite a few people in your neck of the woods and when peoples’ lives are at stake…. believe-you-me…. authorities have a way of showing up and guess whose butt will be on the line…. not the sign builder or supplier, but the guy installing it.
Should you find the need to post back at me…. claiming I’m out to get you….. remember, you’re the chump not taking any of this seriously. We all have a right and a stake in this industry to protect and keep the trade safe for everyone….. especially against novices such as you and your kind.

yes it does and your post does... I HAVE NOT ONCE CRITICIZED HOW ANY ONE MARKS UP THERE MATERIALS! and for spelling read all the posts.. i am not the only one.. i dont wast my time proof reading any one with a brain can understand what every one is saying.. AND MY POINT IS.. I NEEDED HELP WITH ONE PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT BEING ADDRESSED ONLY OTHERS TELLING ME THAT I NEED TO OUT SOURCE MY WORK RATHER THAN GIVING ME THE VERY VERY SIMPLE ADVICE THAT I REQUIRED. HOW CANT YOU SEE THAT OR ARE YOU TO WRAPPED UP IN CUTTING PEOPLE DOWN... my lord after all this you still dont get what my problem is... amazing.
first off fox. i am registered with the state as of october 4th i have the paper work in front of me... gino.. my work will be inspected up to code and tagged please feel free to have me checked out.. i also invited anyone here to come to my shop and to check my work... i have nothing to hide.. This is the lamest post i have ever see go this long... i asked for help plain and simple.. and my labor rate does not put the price of this particular job any lower than any one elses... so you guys have nothing i mean nothing to complain about.. and i will be in business for along time and you guys are more than welcome to fight me or get along with me but i will be fine in this industry.. and i only pointed fingers on peoples comments.. never dragged any one in to anything for no reason.. i offered truthfull explanations for everything and did not throw one LOW BLOW.... None of the threats on here hold any merit or matter cause i am by the book in business... i am not new to the business world... and if you want to start a code war that is fine.... i can play just as well as the next, now i have repetedly asked for this nonsense to stop and asked for help... but you guys refuse... so keep them coming... all i asked for was help... good luck...

:Oops: Guess you didn't get the memo.............
You've just been chosen at your own expense to be the whipping boy today.
No one here means any disrespect or harm towards you or your company. This is just a hazing that all the new guys go through. None of what anyone said here holds any merit or truth. In fact, most of all of this was just dumb made-up garbage and you took it like a man. Yeah, you stood up to all of us and showed us all what you're made of.... so relax there AiA.

I looked back to your intro/welcome thread.
This is what you said on it, in part:
Then on this thread you state:
I also checked out your website.
You admit that it is still under construction, fair enough. But it is full of odd spelling errors and there are only two sign pix that I can find on it.
http://www.accurateimageadvertising.com/
Here is some advice, get the Mike Stevens book Mastering Layout and learn something of layout and design. Red and green do not show up well on window lettering, for starters.
I don't care how you figure your pricing, that is up to you.
But unless you are truly qualified to make and install illuminated sign cabinets, you shouldn't be selling them.
Would you let someone who has never performed surgery operate on you?
Even if it was a bargain?

so what happens when a customer has a reorder? with your pricing structure you will make $0 since all you would bill out for are the materials at cost. c'mon at some point have to admit that it is a lousy (novice) way of pricing at some point. as for the LLC stuff, you're still bs-ing. the state's website updates daily. if you have your docs in hand it would be online as well.
jill makes some good points.. the other 2 business i own would a small construction company geared towards dry wall and finish work with a 6 man crew... and i am partners in a bar... and the work i mainly did for 5 years was building out door illuminated signs... and all we had back then were plotters... i dont plan to go digital any time soon and the vectorizing is still new to me but i am doing very well with it thanks to a few members on here.. probably the part of this industly i am most qaulified to do is build the sign cabinets! my majors in collage started with enginering and then i found my self in marketing and advertising.. 2 things i consider tools in this trade... and with the large network of people i know if i hit a road block i hope i can get the help i need and then (i thought) i had this place as well.. but well see how that goes.. and constructive critisism as put by your self dear is always welcome.. but throwing stones in a glass house just to see if the windows break is never cool to me.. and between the 2 kids the 2 other businesses and the wife back to work the websight has is and probably will suffer for a while... i just dont have the time to get to it.. i am hoping soon.. and i sincerly mean any one is welcome to come down, and see how things are here if your intenetions are to help me and not hinder me... if some can point out a design flaw i will gladly take it in to consideration and rectify it... but i have never had a structural complaint in any aspect of the items i have built. but i am no where near perfect. i am not some jerk off that woke up one day and decided to build signs that could potentialy fall on some one or some ones property and caused injury or damage... that has never happened and will never happen.. and i promise that i am a legal and properly insured and registered business and can provide proof of that upon any ones request and documentation is hanging in the shop.... I appreciate all your help.
