  3. Exterior building directory - how/where to install?

    We are doing a directory for a small office building that will go on the window next to the double doors. We will use white cut vinyl lettering so that tenants can easily be replaced. You could do the same here using the window that has the funky hours on it. Stress to them that in order to keep...
  4. Exterior building directory - how/where to install?

    On your example the fasteners to the brick go through the silver piece of panel to the brick, behind the black panel. The black panel is mounted with double sided tape. For the project you are working on, is this an office building? Where are you when you walk through those doors? If it's a...
  5. Graphtec FC8000 not receiving data from Onyx Go (v. 22.5.1)

    If you are trying to cut vinyl that you have printed, you configure Onyx to create the cutfile when it rips the file to print. The cut contour color usually needs to be named CutContour. The cut contours need to be part of the file you export from your design software and import to Onyx. You...
  6. Panface poly vs flat sheet

    I found my panface supplier by asking my sign supply companies. There are three all within less than 100 miles.
  7. Panface poly vs flat sheet

    Flat faces will look like crap because the cabinet is thin, placing the faces so close to the lights that you will see hotspots from the light tubes/modules with dark areas between, rather than uniform lighting. You would need to find a manufacturer of pan faces nearby. Shipping is cost...
  8. Bronze plaque tarnishing

    Yes, I would take Gemini up on their warranty and have them refinish it. We've had them do refinishing on things in the past and it took care of everything. I agree that the oxidation happening on the corners is not from salt air but from damage to the clearcoat. Paint is very vulnerable on...
  9. Bronze plaque tarnishing

    How was the plaque finished originally? If you got it from Gemini the refinishing would be covered under their warranty. You'd just send it back to them. I can't believe it could have any clearcoat on it if it was showing oxidation in less than two years. Brasso requires more than a wipedown...
  10. Truck Lettering Pricing

    Looks like they got it from the cheapest vinyl letters in town place. Doesn't even use the same font as their sign.
  11. Need Help font ID help please

    Looks like two different fonts. URFCO is Remo Sans, with then F squished a little. I can't find an exact match for the S
  12. Trailers Made Of Metal Panels

    Print and apply vinyl as normal, without respect to where the panel joints of the aluminum are. Then cut the vinyl along the edge of the aluminum panels and push the lower piece down.

    They are each mounted on opposite sides of a 12" thick wall, sticking up somewhat above the wall.

  15. Vinyl vs. Printing

    I too use a lot more cut vinyl than wraps. Unfortunately nowadays customers seemed to have picked up the lingo of calling everything a wrap, so often they will call or come in saying they want a wrap on their vehicle. But if you take the time to explain to them the difference between a wrap and...
  16. High Tack Vinyl issue

    It still does that to some degree. I believe it may depend on storage conditions. I switched suppliers and have a lot less trouble with it. The first supplier did not have an airconditioned warehouse and I think the heat makes the adhesive ooze more. But the vinyl was originally designed for...
  17. Is this a polycarb sign face?

    The size of this ellipse allows you to get two of them from a single 4x8. So if they have two of them you're golden. Yes. After you cut out your ellipse you put it on a piece of plywood, held in place with four screws sticking up out of the wood. You start your trim at some point on the...
  18. Is this a polycarb sign face?

    If it's only 64"x30" it's small as I suspected. It's likely acrylic. No need for the disadvantages of polycarb on a small face like that. The trimcap isn't all that expensive. A 150' roll ranges from $60-80 depending on brand and color for 1" wide. 2" wide is about $110. You can get it from...
  19. High Tack Vinyl issue

    I've never used that Orajet, but I've never had anything I couldn't get Arlon DPF8000 to stick to.
  20. Double sided window graphic?

    Perf on both sides won't work because you'll never get the holes to line up. And perf requires the "inside" to have less light. If they want a full window graphic that is right-reading and full on both sides, they will have to forego being able to see anything through the window. If it's a...
