If there are a few over, I just throw them in with the order. If you lay out print files to try to hit the target number most efficiently, there's usually not that many anyway. Plus if/ when they mess a few up, they appreciate having a couple extra. It was hoard central station here before I...

Bottle labels are usually polypropylene films. Most are non adhesive because it's more cost effective for automated labeling of large runs of bottles, and rolls are all custom sizes, whether adhesive or not for production lines. There are sources for adhesive polypropylene from places like Like...

This is why I when we didn't get many bites on the old machine, I decided to just mothball it.... Sittin' in the back room for parts.

A lot of hand laid gold leaf had a lacquer clear coat that had to be reapplied every so many years to protect it from repeated washings, smoke & soot, salt, etc.

Yer' right on that. Did tons of printing on wood on Fuji flatbeds. We did a lot of rustic store displays, after parts were cut, more to keep wood fibers from causing ongoing issues, most of it got a quick light coat of clear sealer before it came in for printing. You could tell what was sealed...

If you're not sure about matching everything, where the letters are is in a recessed area. I'd give them this option, put a panel over the brick in that recess with new dimensional (flush mount instead of standoffs/ flat cut/ HDU or PVC for light weight) letters attached to it. Rather than...

I'd base it on it's use. If it's going to be up out in the elements longer term, or harsh environment I probably would. If it's going up short term, or indoors where it won't get much abuse, I wouldn't bother, 18oz is pretty beefy.

It can do it, but artwork generated by AI isn't concerned about anything but what you tell it, file sizes, colors used, whether they fall into a printer's gamut, editability, whether you have a computer that will handle it larger than a 3x3", none of it means anything to it. For the person...

Wow... I thought I got some terrible images to work with. Let me know if you can't find anything and I'll see if I can do something close enough at home tonight. That's insanely bad!

Just add text....

Yup, makes perfect sense. It doesn't need a lot of tension, but does need some to keep it from free spinning. If it slips the tension on the take-up will pull harder and start wrapping up like that. It's a balancing act. I've run tons of different laminators, and the good news is, once you get...

It shouldn't go that high on the roll. you need less tension on the take-up. There is no "exact way" because there are too many variables, it's all feel. There should be enough tension on the feed to just keep it slightly taught, but not too much, and enough tension on the take-up to prevent the...

I used to use clear release liners like that, they were common back when cut vinyl was the norm, before printers were commonplace, or affordable (god I feel old). If you needed outlines, drop shadows, and multi colored graphics with colored vinyl, they all needed to be aligned. One of the...

That's how I would do it. You already have the shape from round-2, paint the backing, use that as the shape for the new panel, and yer' golden. Next time they change it, tell em' to just call you to remove the vinyl (or panel), and when a new tenant comes in, you'll just lay a new one, which...

Will these be swapped out, or on permanently? If it's permanent, like logo's, or striping, just use 180, or any other good cast, and call it a day. It'll stick as good to vinyl as to paint, but like Boudica said, horizontal surfaces that never get a break from the sun will fade/ fail quicker...

Don't know for sure, but I did find this, there is a check box to enable/ disable bounding box. Otherwise it could be the container size.

End of the day, they're still regulated by a ton of three initial agencies who love to meet their budget by handing out fines no one can afford. Just turn em' over to a waste handler, pass the cost on to the customer, put the paperwork in a file so you can show you did your legal obligation, and...

Color change vinyls are solid colors, not to be confused with color shift vinyls that change colors. Doing a quick look at Vinyl Frog's website, there are too many things missing. Like life expectancy, whether it's cast, polymeric, calendared, mil thickness, stretch percentages, warranty...

They are regulated for use and disposal on the federal level. You don't want to be the last one known to have custody and not have any documentation of what happened to them. And like Notareal said, keep the documentation filed away. There are companies that take them for disposal or recycling...

Maybe they tried us because they owe us less than others & thought they'd get lucky. I still have some interior graphics for the last store we did.
