  1. Substrate Ideas for Hanging Sign

    I see I can get 1/2" primed MDO board in 4 ft by 10 ft. and I also see the hangers they make for them. Looks like a possible direction to go. What kind of paint is recommended for MDO board and to use Oracal 3651 vinyl? I'm thinking of contour cutting around the company logo and applying it to...

  4. Printing Issues With Aurora Print Craft Fills

    I am unsure of what you mean? In the past I would export the graphic to print to my desktop in .eps format, then import it back into flexi to print. This would work, but a lot of times made for a huge file 200+ MB and I would have trouble importing it back into flexi. I'm looking to print...

  7. Air bubbles while laminating 48" prints

    I've yet to fully solve the problem, it's been my busy season with race cars, so I've just dealt with it. Yes the US Tech laminator relies on the top roller for pressure. I called US Tech and they told me to try lowering down the top roller some with added pressure (usually the roller itself...
  8. Air bubbles while laminating 48" prints

    After investigating further today, I noticed that the LOWER roller and the UPPER roller do not fully touch (enough gap that I can see daylight) in the middle section. I think this is the problem, but I never thought this would happen from using 30" rolls of laminate. I take great care of...
  9. Air bubbles while laminating 48" prints

    I have a US-Tech Ak-500 Laminator, it's about 4 years old and appears to be in great shape. I'm having trouble with getting like hundreds of small air bubbles under the laminate. It looks like a bad case of silvering. It seems to be worse in the middle portion of the 48" wide prints. I...

  11. Poster paper "no parking" signs

    Ok guys! Thanks for all the input! I put in a bid and was awarded the job! I did a sample for them on some 13oz banner material. They loved the idea! It should be an easy job being they do not need any grommets, they will be taping them up with gorilla tape. Quoted them $2.75 each.

  18. Poster paper "no parking" signs

    A nearby town has contacted me about making approx. 250 "NO PARKING DURING SNOW REMOVAL CONDITIONS" signs. As you can expect, they are looking for something as cheap as possible. They told me the last ones they had made were on like heavy paper and were laminated, they were able to reuse them...
