  1. Masking tape recommendations

    I swear by the orange frog tape, holds strong and no issues with residue. Perfect for holding large and long wall wrap panels securely. Also works great for temporary signs, can even remove and re stick them several times.
  2. Randomly cutting my designs twice using Rasterlink tool for Illustrator

    I often get illustrator art from clients and almost always there's 2 sets of letters on top of each other. If you don't remove the extra set the plotter will cut both. Great way to destroy the cutting strip!
  3. Suggestions Handicap Van Accessible Sign Placement?

    In MA there are rules for this, regarding heights, location, sign layout, breakaway hardware, etc. Those parking curbs stops are supposed to be 3-4' in the space which would give you room to fit a sign behind it.

  10. Mimic Frosted Glass With Only Clear Vinyl

    Yes you can make frost by printing clear vinyl. 10% White and 20% black is pretty close to the standard frost color. To those who asked why, the advantages are unlimited opacity and design customization, like fade outs, and it's easier to remove later on. It's basically the same thing as the 3M...
  11. Need to outgas?????

    The first wrap I did about 15 years ago we solvent printed 3M and laminated immediately to save time. It looked good going on but about 6 months later it came back with all the laminate separating, cracking, and looking like orange peel paint clear coat. That wasn't the worst thing though, it...

    There's no need to be rude, this is supposed to be a forum to help each other, not everyone has enough spare time to read all threads where this has come up before. Thank you for the useful / helpful Vector AI recommendation, I will have to check it out.
