  1. DIBOND brand ACM supplier

    Dibond is heavier and stiffer than garden-variety sign supply copycats. It was developed not for the sign industry but the architectural/construction industry and is used a skin on buildings exterior and interior. It also meets some building and fire code standards that sign board may or may not...
  2. (PLEASE ADD YOUR INPUT) Printing a wrap based on customer info

    I'd say they are in your shop longer than ours by the amount of time it takes to print, laminate, and trim. In our hands that would turn it from 1 day in shop to 2, though it wouldn't be end of day on day 2. But to the customer it means the vehicle is out of service twice as long.
  3. (PLEASE ADD YOUR INPUT) Printing a wrap based on customer info

    The problem would lie in the customer having to leave their vehicle with you for an extra day or two or three so you can design, print, laminate, and trim your wrap before you then install it. I don't know what kind of customers you have, but mine need and use their vehicles and will not stand...
  4. Software Questions

    The only way you can remove pixelation is by vectorizing (redrawing the element in vector format). You can do that in Corel or Omega. The best is to never use bitmap elements in the design to begin with. I am pretty certain that all the stickers on an aircraft are going to be color shapes and...
  5. Software Questions

    Not sure where you are getting the Corel draw files from, but if you have Corel Draw you really don't need the step of taking the file into Sign Lab. You can weld, vectorize, etc. in Corel Draw just fine. You can also add text in Corel Draw. As to whether Omega can weld...
  6. I was thinking of picking up a Laserpecker to engrave my banana, thoughts?

    They do bruise art on bananas. Why not laser? https://designyoutrust.com/2020/12/this-artist-creates-amazing-banana-art-made-by-poking-and-bruising-the-skin-no-ink-is-used/
  7. (PLEASE ADD YOUR INPUT) Printing a wrap based on customer info

    I will design a wrap using the templates but I find the templates are notoriously wrong on dimensions, particularly on the front and rear plan views. So once we get to the point of the customer wanting to go ahead, we require them to bring the vehicle by to be photographed and measured. Any...
  8. Need Help Removal of Print From Sign Surface

    Assuming your profile is correct, if you are within Grimco's NJ delivery zone, you can just call them to order polycarbonate by the foot. They don't have it available to order online. No matter which supplier you use, you won't likely find anybody who lists a 4'x16' piece online to order. They...
  9. Stick-on Letters

    With studs you usually use silicone so that the letter can be removed if necessary to repair a damaged letter or to repaint.
  10. Question static electricity on sheets of coro....

    You must not live where we do. Way too much humidity to have static electricity here right now.
  11. Backlit Sign Help

    it may have vinyl letters on the inside, but the white is painted after the vinyl is applied. If you want to reuse the pan face, you will have to remove the vinyl (if any) by peeling it off, then remove all the paint using denatured alcohol, paper towels and elbow grease and time. Once you have...
  12. DTF PNG vs Vector?

    I don't print DTF myself, but I order it and apply it to garments. So my statement about using transparent png files for printing has to do with print providers who are taking automatic orders on the internet, mostly from screenprint t-shirt shops or others who are usually somewhat computer and...
  13. Looking fo vinyl that will adhere to suitcase.

    Arlon, Avery 3M, Oracal all make hi-tack vinyls that will stick.
  14. HP named America’s Most Responsible Company!

    ESG scores don't really mean anything except to the people who run in the CEO circles.
  15. Font ID

    This is verbatim from Missouri's regulation. Every state has a similar requirement: Though the numbers have good form, they are not of sufficient stroke, and the capital letters will not be satisfactory. The skill of being a signmaker is in finding a font with similar character that meets the...
  16. Font ID

    Please don't do the license number in a script font. If you read the state law on the regulations for number, you will see it is not acceptable.
  17. What's (really) in a name?

    Locally in food is supposed to be a good thing among the hip Gen Z-ers. As in grown locally or shop locally. Pop-Up is also a hip thing, as in Pop-up restaurant where a famous chef will book a venue and for one weekend only run a restaurant for "those in the know" to pay outrageous prices to be...
  18. Font ID

    That's a logo you can find online.
