Hey everyone! I'm looking at all the pony's in my stable and trying to figure out which ones are on their last legs and which ones will gallop on with me. I did some googling to try and see if anyone had aggregated any information about how many feet their printer did before giving up the ghost...

Where is cast not much more then calendared? In Canda 180 is over 1,000 and 35/40 is 500 a roll.

6mm or 1/4". Can you go that thick with the laser stuff?

Sorry could you elaborate on this? For this project we have the acrylic letters which are backed with vinyl. Would you attach the 467 to the vinyl on the acrylic and leave it for a few days and then cut the letters out and then attach it the ACM?

What do you mean you "hogged off" the area around the letters? This is a pushed through acrylic? I'll look into tissue tape... haven't heard of that before. what do you usually use tissue tape for on substrates cut by the router?

Can't laser cut the aluminum composite as its PVC on the inside and that gets your chlorine gas. Could paint the back of the acrylic and laser cut at an outside vendor but then the adhesive is on the paint and I have no idea how well the paint would bond to the acrylic and the adhesive... Maybe...

yes its clear acrylic. the vinyl makes it their brands colour.

That's a good idea... I think the letters would be too small for the application. The sharp corners would end up rounded which would be a significant departure from the earlier set. I do pushed through acrylic for backlit boxes but they're always so far away from people the rounded corners don't...

never heard of lexel will see if its available in canada.

couldn't hurt i'll give it a go

Certainly... But vinyl backed means chlorine gas.

Bit of a novel here but: I'm doing some wayfinding signage and the design client settled on Acrylic letters with back mounted vinyl (blue) mounted onto some brushed silver acm... we did a batch of 100 for one building and we used our router table to cut the acrylic letters to shape. There's 7-8...

What MIS system did you get?

We use ij40 all the time... But after a year it takes the paper off the drywall. Used to do 180 but its too expensive for most customers.

We've made several of these with 3mm aluminum composite. Do you have the means to make a v groove on these? I'd recommend using one that has a 0.3mm aluminum face so that it doesn't crack when its bent. Usually we v groove cut it on the folds and fold it around some 4x4 posts in the ground. We...
