    Hello from Washington State!

    Welcome, Pat. I'm also in Spokane, WA. Nick
  2. Wow. I have a roll of static cling at home and I was wondering what to do with it. Now I know. Thanks Jay!

    Are you in Spokane, Jay?

    My first store front sign

    Yeah I new they were going to be off centered because the ones on the left are longer than the ones on the right. He wanted it to be as similar to the previous as much as possible and the previous one the names were centered off the center of Veterinarians. Thanks for the feedback though!

    My first store front sign

    This was my first large cut and application. I think it turned out well. I messed up during the application and ended up having to replace one of the letters the next day. It went easier than I thought it would.
  6. It looks great. You must have spent a lot of time on it! It took me a while to figure everything out and to un-hide everything. One thing that would make it more friendly for the people that you might be giving it to would be a little instruction on how to use it. Mostly just where to enter your personal numbers. I noticed a few times where you share values a lot between sheets and I didn't know where to start to enter the value in the first place. Thanks for sharing!

    Vinyl by the foot?

    If anyone else is still looking for smaller rolls of vinyl I found this last year and it's where I bought my first few rolls before I had a cutter. I just needed lots of colors and not very much of each. It seems to be mostly Oracal 651, but I did get another brand in there too. http://www.etsy.com/shop/VinylVillage?ref=pr_shop_more

    First store front install

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll grab some stainless steel razor blades or some plastic ones before I remove the vinyl. I also read somewhere that ammonia helps with removing it. But if a razor blade and some cleaner will do the trick I will stick to that. Any other suggestions for cleaner, or will Windex do the trick? As far as pricing goes, my wife wants me to cut him a deal because she says he's really cheap. That's why he is going with me and not a professional. I told her I'd do it for $40. $20 for the vinyl and $20 for the install. She was a little concerned it was too steep. But I wanted to see what others would charge for it to see if I'd actually be cutting him a deal or not.
  10. I'm getting ready to do my first store front install. In the picture below the owner just wants me to remove the bottom Dr's name, then replace Poquette with Grace. Would you do that or would you replace the whole thing? Basically he asked for the first one but I'm thinking about doing the second because it seems easier to make sure everything is lined up and that the color hasn't faded. This is for my wife's boss and she only wants me to charge him for what he wants. What would you guys do and what would you charge for it? The window is 57" wide and it's 14" from bottom to top of vinyl. Also, do you have any tips for removing the vinyl from the glass? Tools, cleaner..?

    name that font, please?

    Thank you!

    name that font, please?

    I tried whatthefont and whatfontis and they couldn't help with the picture that I have. My friends told me Arial, but it's not quite. The R in the picture is a little curly on the right leg. It's a pretty basic font that I just can't find.
  13. I have not tried the pen, thanks for the suggestion I will try it next. Also, I haven't installed the signcut software because I didn't want to become reliant on it and have to pay for it down the road. I did notice people talking about the "over cut" feature and it sounds nice. I don't use my cutter very often as this is just a hobby and not a business so that's why I'm able to keep cutting with this issue. I maybe use it once or twice a week.
  14. Yes I did notice this. I was trying to provide any information to him that I have that could possibly help him. In return I was hoping that anything that he finds that works for him will possibly help me.
  15. I've had this same problem since I bought my cutter a couple months ago and nothing I've tried has fixed it. I have a thread for it in the MH series section here: http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/34878-cutter-not-returning-to-exact-starting-point-of-the-cut/ You can read up on that because there are a lot of suggestions to try. I only ask one thing, if you find something that works or helps in the slightest bit PLEASE reply to either thread and let me know. That's the biggest issue I've seen on these, and probably many other, forums is that once people find something that works they never reply again.
