Anyone in the southern NH area willing to help? My plotter just died after 25 years of service and I have a large job I’m trying to complete. It’s a mix of cut vinyl and printed wrap work with 3 vehicles as well. I’m going to be calling around in the morning to bud out the work but I would rather give it to someone on here.

They wanted something last minute and easy. Mounted on a couple sheets of plotter paper

You aren’t kidding. A day of 4x7 banner sale would be nice

Busy busy busy when you’re good at what you do!

Lots of backstory to this one so bear with me please! I have been a "sign guy" for 15+ years. Either as an installer for another company or producing and installing my own. My shop has always just been in my basement. I do craft fairs and different vendor shows to keep work coming in and sales up. Big wall wraps, small signs and all in between. Well, here is where it gets confusing. My mother in law just bought and opened up her own Animal Care center doing day care and grooming and more. She gifted me an office in the building so I could have a bit more space that's properly lit and I can pull alllll my sign stuff out of my place for some breathing room. She wants me to have a display in her retail area to display my business and my animal themed items which is fantastic! Here's my question:. Do I advertise that I have a new location? Also, people going to drop off their pet for a bath aren't looking for a sign guy. Do I bother advertising in house, or do I just have her display my items and let her advertise having her own in house personalisation department and offer to sell stickers I make?

Not yet, no and yes. Rent is free. She wants to let me.have the space to earn money. You can earn money for someone else or you can earn it for yourself.

My plotter is 30 years old. It's a workhorse and it cuts nearly everyday. Tracks straight over 20' cuts and I love it. Well, had a breakdown this week. One of the pinch wheels disintegrated and ruined a few feet of material. Called the company and they not only have spare wheels for sale but are also now in the town over from me. Bought both wheels so I don't have to worry. $50 a pop but wow, having it in stock is amazing and no ship time.

More to come once I have it installed. if you’re in the Merrimack NH area, come on by. Beautiful facility.

Thanks!

Just the corporate coach font.

Thanks Dakota!

Im getting married in a week and made some signs. We have been together for 15 years. Didnt find out the opening to the boards isnt square until After I installed........... 2 signs, each double sided. Cant share with anyone attending but had to show them off.

Thanks Dakota!!

I have to replace three fuses. 2-5 amp 125v and 1-3.15 amp. 5x20 mm. I know this because once I opened up the 22 year old plotter, someone had left a handy diagram. What's the easiest way to pull these fuses out? Pry the tabs off one side or just try to rip them out.

No one probably will read this but I swapped the fuses and Im glad to say that 22 year old plotter is now 24 and still tracking straight

A heat gun will get you in trouble. Too much heat and the glue on the transfer tape gets super stick and separates from the carrier sheet.

Over lapping is no problem at all. A 1/4” inch is all you need. If possible, and dont go out of your way if its a pain in the butt, over lap in so it doesn't get in the way of the install. If you squeegee from the top down, then put the first layer of masking on the lower part of the design so your squeegee doesnt catch the edge of the overlapped masking. Does that make sense?

I found this guy on Facebook selling these flags with all different logos or companys and organizations on them. He says aince the logo is hand carved and not able to be mads produced, it doesnt violate any laws. Is this true? Why wouldnit being hand carved keep you from any prosecution?

Anything similar, I am putting it on some children's clothing.

Thank you so much. Especially with the quick turnaround time from when I asked.

No insult to anyone on here but this is one of the best looking projects I have seen. It puts my skill set into perspective and that I have a long way to go. Good for you.

Has anyone purchased any fonts or clip art from the website clipart and fonts.com And if so is it worth the money? Also, even if I buy clipart, is it still license material and I don't have free use to use it?

That's the feeling I had. That's have no problem paying for something good. I have reached out before and had great success. I am not the most creative person and having a source of ready to go designs like that interest me. I don't have any current projects that need this source. It's more of me trying to be a bit pro active when I have some cash that's availabile.

I got asked to do my first back lit sign. The sign is already installed. I just need to cut and and install the design on it. My questions are as follows in regards to the type of vinyl I use. Does the type of light matter? If it is a incandescent bulb or led?The thickness of the substrate how it diffuses the light. I know I need a certain type of wrap vinyl to use. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
