  1. Need Help Large bubbles when applying vinyl to board

    This is with air release vinyl. The bubbles are so bad, I cannot squeegee them out afterwards... There is A LOT of air left throughout the entire print. Sometimes it will just be a little bit that I can squeegee out the air but for large prints, I cannot..
  2. Need Help Large bubbles when applying vinyl to board

    All substrates are cleaned with alcohol and a mircrofiber cloth before applying the vinyl. I never used my other one to apply vinyl on boards. I know its a bit weird, but I do not want to use my first laminator for anything other than laminating film to perserve the rollers. They are both 60"...
  3. Need Help Large bubbles when applying vinyl to board

    I bought a second laminator so I could apply my laminated vinyl prints to substrates. It almost always leaves large bubbles where the vinyl is not applied to the signs. Even if the bubbles aren’t visible, if I take a squeegee I will see a bunch of large pockets of air. It’s so bad that I’ve had...

  5. Adhesive for attaching sign face to wood

    This would make it so much easier, but I was told they do not want anything going through the face of the sign... I'll suggest it but they seemed pretty against it. Thank you for your advice!
  6. Adhesive for attaching sign face to wood

    Thank you! If the customer choses to continue with wood I want to recommend an adhesive to use but I might say they would have to do the adhering so there is no warranty the sign. They probably want to save money and use wood they have laying around, but hopefully they will consider PVC so they...

  8. Adhesive for attaching sign face to wood

    Old sign needs to be remade. (About 1 inch thick) *ALL MATERIALS WILL BE NEW* I was told I could just do the faces of the sign and client would make/cut the wooden center that the faces will be attached to. If I make the faces with aluminum or ACP, what is the best way to attach them to the...
  9. Acrylic backlit / halo lit sign needed

    Thank you. I was considering getting a quote from them.. This is just such a basic sign I was hoping I could find a "blank" that was available for purchase, but I am sure Gemini would be able to provide a blank sign too.

  15. Need Help Graphtec cutting inaccurate

    Thank you for the replies... brand new blade and cutting strip did not make a difference. It is still slightly off and I am not sure how to fix it.. Wheels are cleaned as well as the entire surface. I am unsure if it is off from reading or if it is off because of the pinch rollers. Here is a...
