Retractable banner and Pop-Up banner material We like a product called Xign for these displays. It is printable both sides, has light blockout, no curl, and nice matte finish. It works really well in every retractable I have installed it on. -Bud

Hallellujah! Looks like Miss Cleo was right- your luck has changed...

Wall Graphic Materials We've used several materials for interior wall graphics, most with mixed results. I am assuming the wall you are covering is painted sheetrock with a medium to low texture. If this is the case I would urge you to consider Phototex, or any other brand of adhesive...

Latex vs Solvent I just received this document yesterday (see attached) comparing solvent ink printer versus latex ink printer. This may influence your decision- knowledge is power. -Bud

Check out the before and after photos of this project we did today. It's the lobby of a Ford dealership. The GM thought the lobby of the service area was too "prison like" with it's concrete block walls. With Photoshop, our digital printer, and advanced materials we transformed this space into a...

Adhesion to plastics Most of the plastic A-Frames are made from polyethylene, a low surface-energy plastic. By its oily nature most adhesive vinyl films won't stick to it. Heating the surface of this material with a flame torch increases the surface energy of this plastic thereby increasing...

I also have a Roland XC 540 and love it. Great color, low maintenance, good speed, and prints reliably on nearly everything. If you don't want any risk and are looking for a proven printing solution then you can't go wrong with the Roland product, especially if price and service from your...

Banner Hemming Research OK, so I checked the discussions through past forums and found some information but not a real thorough analysis. Most contributors to the discussions were very happy with banner tape, and a few very happy with sewing. Currently we tape, but I don't like the...

Of course, my bad. Sorry.

We are looking to invest some money (Up to $3500) on some production banner hemming equipment. Which is better- sewing or welding, why, and how much? Thank you for the information! -Bud

Looks good to me. Thanks MG!

This is to cover some interior windows so the material needs to be at least 65" wide. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! -Bud

LG Digital Media Try using isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to clean the graffitti off the graphic. It will not harm the laminate and takes off most paint and ink. If it's a persistent problem then switch to the anti-graffitti laminate that offers greater chemical resistance so you can use...

All vinyl "manufacturers" (except one) buy their calendered vinyl from the same source- Renolit. They then take the uncoated PVC film, coat it with adhesive, add release line, convert it down to the size the market wants, and put it in their box with brand label on it. The opposite is true for...

The Oraguard 210 is a nice product with a solvent-based adhesive. We have used it for several years very reliably. Recently we started using LG's LP3812 laminate. It has the same adhesive, is just as glossy and sells for $50 less per roll ($210 vs $160). Plus, the matte finish is superior-...

also our summer as been rather mild this year with all the rain and cloud cover we have had. this also made it through a CAT5 cyclone At least you don't have Charlie Sheen.....

I would work with whomever sold you the cutting equipment to calibrate the cutting pressure (force), your knife blade, your cutting strip, or the cutting speed to get the LG product to die cut like it does for me. The product is dense (which helps give it good performance in the field) so it...

We've used lots of different brands of adhesive vinyl over the years including 3M, Avery, Oracal, and others. Recently we have turned to LG on advice from our supplier and have not turned back. What we like about it is that everything they make has a high quality solvent-based adhesive, not...

We have had good success using Thompson's Waterseal Clear Multi-Surface Waterproofer. Pay special attention to the instructions- it's very exact in surface preparation and application. We use LG's LD3880 Ultra-Tack adhesive vinyl film and cast laminate for our wall graphics applications. This...

They folded the corners to hide where they cut them.... -Shawn
