  1. never done any "heatpressing". Afriend in the printing business Wwho also does a lott of signsand graphics gave me an INSTA press model 715. He said itt didn't work. Brought it tto my shop, lubricaled the bottom ram, swing away top and it all works. He didn't realize that air had to be connected to operate. Questtion is, the micro (limit) swittch is broken and when butttons are pressed, nothing happens. There is a red butttton on tthe air manifold when depressed, acttivatted the lower plattten. Anyone familuar enough with this product to advise. Seems to be a realy heavy dutty machine. Thanks in advance for any help !



  2. My main supplier would cut the acrylic as needed for a small  charge (when buying a full sheet). Use the remainder on another job later. Translucent vinyl can be ordered by the ft so this should be a nice profitable job for you. Good reference for future jobs also. I'd give it a shot if I were you. Learn by doing. Just my $.02.

  3. As most will agree, pricing totally depends on YOUR area and other shops pricing. Don't be afraid to "ask" what price someone paid for a trailer "job". They'll tell you if they think it was a fair price or not. I've picked up some really good jobs and repeat business this way and still making good money.
