So our business got a 4x8ft Industrial CNC (brand) machine. We have a few different lasers and use Lightburn for cutting our acrylic, coroplast, wood, ect. but we needed a CNC for our PVC, ACM, and wood preferably to keep the laser blades clean. That being said I haven't ran a CNC machine in 7...

Polypropylene is okay to cut with a laser, PVC is not.

Nope. Every time we tried to order it they accepted our order and when we followed up it was always on back order. We added a new big filter that hangs just above the print bed and use iso alcohol to try and get rid of the static. We also built a loft area above the acrylic sheets that we can...

That would be a good way to apply it for sure, we do not have a table for the laminator unfortunately. Currently its just got a little 6" shelf in front of the rollers to get it started. I think we are just going to attempt to print sections of the logo and laminate then die cut and weed/mask...

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...

Yeah we printed 4 layers of white actually lol

Awesome wasnt aware of that stuff thanks!

We tried using the roll of clear acrylic bonding tape if that is what you mean, a couple different ones actually but they still form a prominent shadow through the blue and yellow print.

We make awards with acrylic and every now and then there is a design that we cant hide the tape and even clear tape or super glue will show through the print from lighting. In the past we tried a spray adhesive and it completely ruined the print but I feel like there is a better solution for...

We just got in some 18oz double sided banner material with a blackout layer and i was wondering if people hem them like normal? I could not find that specific question asked on google and i re phrased it like 5 times lol i ended up hemming it with the hem tape and grommets like i would a...

That makes sense ill look up some videos! And i was wondering about flashback if cutting coro on top of a big sheet of aluminum. To me doing that seems like it would have a lot of flashback on the metal

Yeah that is definitely a process we are going to work on trying! We actually had some success on these currently with using a heat gun and got them to lay perfectly flat AFTER cutting them to size for the flatbed, not sure how practical it is but it didnt seem to have any negative effects lol

That is some good information! Thanks for your input! I may try throwing some aluminum underneath it, do you get flashback from yours? Our laser is 150watts and are cutting at i think 15% power and 40% speed. Also do you run your printer through LightBurn also or do you make a file on...

So we use lightburn for our BossLaser Hp5598 and Versaworks for our Roland flatbed printer, i will look into that lightburn function and see if we can try that. A big issue we also get is the laser catching a flame from residue on our knife bed. It builds up from all the material and wood we cut...

Yes and no. The printer itself has opened up a LOT of production possibilities for sure, but we keep running into the dumbest issues. Currently it keeps dropping connection to versa mid print and theres no way to start again and these signs are big ACM signs and a dark black print that we cant...
