You use sandblast mask to make the mask. You'll need a different blade for your plotter to cut it if you use one of the rubber ones. Oracal has Oramask 831 which is just a vinyl .23 mm thick. I've never used one that thin. Anchor and Hartco make a variety of different mask materials.

You have now heard of such a thing so stop saying you've never heard of it. It might be the only time you've heard of it, but you have. I understand it very clearly. As Bxtr stated, the city can come back on the seller of the sign if it wasn't permitted yet was installed. If you took the time...

Sioux Falls, SD

The point is that if you sell a sign in Sioux Falls, SD and the customer puts it up himself, by definition the sign was put up without a permit since the customer is not a licensed sign contractor and only licensed sign contractors are allowed to pull permits. There are penalties for putting up...

Instead of griping that you've never heard of it, read the sign ordinance and then you WILL have heard of it. https://www.siouxfalls.gov/files/assets/public/v/2/business-and-permits/building-services/signs/1e25143.pdf In order to apply for a sign permit, you must be a licensed sign...

I don't think the purpose of the sign was a "balanced" advertisement. The courts have apparently agreed that it's allowable political speech.

Around here you can't get a permit if you don't have a contractor's license and you can't get the license if you don't have liability and workman's comp.

The good thing is you don't have to do anything about the squeegee marks. We get them on vehicle windows and after a couple of days out in the sun they go away.

We don't laminate storefront perf. Just for vehicles. I once used a non-vinyl optically clear laminate that was made just for flat windows. But after some experience we stopped using it because we found that long term durability wasn't really the primary concern with store window signage.

Yes, you can program any delay you like between layers in Onyx. The printer can do a white sublayer, wait, roll back and then print color. The problem seems to be that you can't set Onyx up to print color-white-color or maybe the printer driver doesn't allow for it.

I have serious questions as to whether you'll be able to get a permit for this from the city unless they don't require them. But if it's allowed, why not just put a panel on each angled wall and window of the building. From a distance the angles won't affect the view much if at all.

Theoretically it was possible with the S70670, which I had, but I was never successful in getting Onyx to make the printer do it. Contacting Epson and Onyx basically got me shrugged shoulders.

I didn't find this font, but I had to laugh at the first font that came up on Find My Font's search https://www.findmyfont.com/index.php/fonts/font-preview?fset=Dafont-7%20%2F%20%28Freemium%29&ffam=fractrish%20-%20Regular&fstyle=&fsize=60&fid=a56868439cd3cf3e917edc91b7826f6d&wrap=2&text=Msarto

I'm not sure what you were going to use that is 48". Wrapping films for printing generally come 54" wide. The non-printable wrapping films come 60" wide. Since your box is 48" you'll find it much easier to have the 60" material. Pull back just a few inches or a foot of the backing paper, stick...

Don't use the wrap film that's meant for printing. Unless you laminate it first it is too thin and floppy. You'll go crazy trying to handle it. Use the color change wrap film like 3M 1080.

sure, but the ACP's polyethylene isn't really exposed to UV light, being sandwiched in aluminum.

The Bambu X1C can to 10"x10"x10". That's pretty limiting for channel letters. I have three channel letter jobs in the mill right now. None of them could be completed with that size limitation. The machines being touted in Europe for making channel letters are much, much larger.

Yes, we use polycarbonate quite frequently, and it's one of the most disappointing substrates we use in terms of UV reaction. Dingy yellow sign faces abound. I'm not sure I've ever used polyethylene in a sign.

By custom PCB do you mean a PCB cut into the shape of the letter?

We have always used 3/4" MDF to make our tables. It comes 49"x97" but we rip an 11"x97" and put the two side by side to make the tabletop 60"x97". We tried self healing mats but abandoned that and just use 3mm expanded PVC to make the top surface. Cut it in pieces 48"x60" and use banner tape to...
