I am having to print and laminate vinyl to cover a 5x10ft ACM max metal sign for an outfield.
Equipment we use - 60" cold press royal sovereign laminator and roland TrueVIS VG3-640 roll to roll printer - using high performance 60" vinyl (needs to be done tomorrow)
We did one the other day in 3 panels and it looked good and lined up well but we feel like we should be able to print/laminate/apply in 1 full 60x120 piece to eliminate the seams. Being in the outfield it wouldn't be an issue but there are some bigger names that we are going to be doing work for and think it would look more professional to get them in 1 go so we are wanting to try with this job.
Issues i see are obviously the acm sign, vinyl, laminate are all the same 60" width so i could foresee issues laminating 10ft length and keeping it lined up and also having to use the vinyl to go straight to the edge of the acm sign without any extra to trim off. Also i am not confidant the roll to roll can die cut the logo well after laminating since it fills most of that space then we would have to weed and mask basically the entire thing anyways.
