By bubbling up, do you mean wrinkling or lifting off the liner during printing? We use cheap window perf. I'm not familiar with latex printing, but with solvent printing, we have to turn the heat way down whenever we print on window perf. Doesn't really matter which cheap brand, they all...

By flat letters, do you mean like this? I didn't make this one so I don't have many details. I know it's made with clear acrylic and covered in Oracal 8300 transparent colours. If you're doing flat letters like this on a wall with back lighting or halo, I don't think you want transparent or...

Do you need the exact same brand? I'm having trouble identifying it. The lines look most similar to Oralite or Nikkalite. But neither of those are perfect matches. Unless that's a vehicle conspicuity tape and not a traffic sign reflective...

I got a list for the SW900 from our supplier. As of August 2022, everything on this list is available in a month or two. All the colours not on this list are a year out. Product number Colour SW900-101-O GLOSS WHITE SW900-102-O MATTE WHITE SW900-109-S WHITE PEARL SW900-116-O SATIN...

Hey cool! Tell me how this works. Does it remove lint and junk?

Slabo 13px from Google Fonts? https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Slabo+13px?query=slab&preview.text=boundless&preview.size=83&preview.text_type=custom Though it has just as many differences if not more than Polyphonic

Good job being cautious with all the scams going around. Amazon accounts getting "hacked", pretend credit card refunds, or someone posing as customer service helping you secure your "compromised" credit card. And of course the Nigerian prince needing 3,000 blue banners. But yeah, as you've...

I've never used V2000, but have you tried Avery T-1500 reflective? It's definitely solvent printable. I think it's similar price to V2000.

Orajet 3164HT is available in clear. It's on the short-term side though. 4 years max. https://www.orafol.com/en/americas/products/orajet-3164ht We've had good luck with availability here in Canada

Have you looked into the Stick and Stretch canvas frames? It's a pretty slick system. There are a few distributors up here in Canada. Probably have them there too. https://expresssignproducts.com/canvas-frames/2431-16647-stick-stretch-1500-pro-stretcher-bars-for-canvas-frames.html

If you prefer Orafol products, have you looked at the Oralite 5400? It's less durable than the 5500 but usually a bit cheaper. Plus it's solvent printable. I don't know what the specs say, but it works great on non-metal surfaces.

Metallized PVC chrome usually works ok with solvent printing. Like someone said already, RTape chrome is good. You have to be careful with it though. Metallized polyester chrome (Oracal 351) is a disaster with solvent printing. This article goes into some detail...

Consumers think thicker = better. Particularly if they're applying the sticker/decal themselves. If conformability isn't an issue, I go along with them and give them what they want. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Orajet 3258 yet. 6 mil and feels like a million bucks. But it's a dedicated...

edit: sorry, double post

Have you tried Marabu Marajet inks? Some people hate them, but they've worked flawlessly for us. If you call these guys you can get free flushing cartridges...
