  2. Boat/Marine decals

    Not sure how large the engine manufacturer is or their volume, but I've applied factory decal sets to Mercury outboards many times. They aren't made using digital sign printers like we all have. They are screenprinted and die cut. They are using an air release material, to be applied dry. They...
  3. Advice for billboard style sign materials

    You can get Alumacorr in 4'x10'. It will serve in that application better than 3mm ACM. It does have the corrugated core visible from the edge, but it is much more rigid and sturdy. Rather than scabbing the two pieces of the face together like they did, I'd move the stringer down to the seam...
  4. Display lightboxes - would anyone use static cling as only printed graphic layer

    Are you sure there's not a piece of white plexiglass that will be behind the print? If they are spec'ing a clear print, that would be what I would expect. I would actually talk to the people ordering it and the people making the lightbox to find out for sure. If there really is a piece of white...
  5. Display lightboxes - would anyone use static cling as only printed graphic layer

    It sounds like those are Duratrans lightboxes. They're made for Duratrans prints. Find a trade vendor for Duratrans prints and outsource them.
  6. Problem with "black streaks" on vinyl material

    Fuzz would do the same on paper. And it usually makes droplets, not fading spray.
  7. How Much Wasted Ink

    That's probably about right. It has to flush the lines and head and prime it.
  8. Is Everyone Tired Of AI

    Apparently OpenAI is tired of it.
  9. Install halo lit letters on wood fence?

    Have them build a section of "fence" in front of the fence that is built tighter and stronger than the fence. More like your other photo. Put the letters on that. Wiring and ballasts are then hidden by the actual fence, and not subject to something down the line on the fence pulling it off plumb.
  10. Problem with "black streaks" on vinyl material

    That looks like static overspray on the vinyl, which is more likely to develop static electricity. You need to use a humidifier to raise humidity above 40% to fix that. You can test for that by using sticks in the sensors to be able to run the printer with the lid open. If the overspray goes...
  11. How Much Wasted Ink

    Probably a lot less than leaving the special ink in there being dumped out in 3 automated head washes a day for weeks on end while you're not using that color.
  12. Business Names with no meaning

    How are initials/monograms/acronyms essentially meaningless? PPG means Pittsburgh Plate Glass. IBM is International Business Machines. NBC is National Broadcasting Company, and so on.
  13. Storage of Vinyl Upright

    The Arlon core holders are over 1" thick. The rolls are off the ground. They are also hollow so you get an air gap.
  14. Storage of Vinyl Upright

    I just save the plastic core holders from the box it's shipped in. Many brands come with lousy core holders that don't work well, but some come with really sturdy, wide holders that work great as stands. Arlon makes some nice ones.
  15. Printing Individual Sheet on an Epson s40600

    Take your sheet material and tape it to the beginning of a roll of material the same width. If you are at the end of a roll and need to print into the 2' of material still attached to the roll, pause the printer and detach the material from the roll core. Keep a hand on the supply roll as it...
  16. Material for horticulture stake sign

    If you were doing it for a permanent display, I'd engrave Gravoply or Gemini Duets.
  17. Material for horticulture stake sign

    Styrene is what the disposable stakes that come with little plants are made of. They will last a year or two outdoors in the ground before getting brittle and crumbling. That looks like it's not meant to be a museum label but something an actual nursery/gardening shop would use to identify...
  18. Printing on frosting....

    You can still get pictures on cakes, even from Wal-Mart. But the ink tastes bad.
  19. Font Help Need help identifying this font!

    Often those cuts have to be manually applied.
  20. Where Do I Get Vinyls That Look Have Abalone Shell, Pearl, Beautiful Colored Minerals Printed?

    Right now it looks like ebay is the source.
