If there's not a lot, just pop em' with a pin on the edge of each bubble, and press the air out towards it. If the sign viewing distance isn't close up, pin holes won't show. Just don't make big holes. Until you get the hang of laying translucent, laying it wet will help. Thin acrylic and poly...

Whether it's going in your yard, or on a business, signs are regulated in every city, town, village, and they're all different. Some are more lenient than others, but always best to make sure you're good to go, and have any permits or inspections that may be required. Especially true for...

Ok, I thought you did your own printing in house. That changes things. One option that will work to print samples/ proofs on vinyl, and not take up a lot of space is a small format digital printer, most have 24 or 30" models. If you need something really compact, Roland actually has a 20"...

Unfortunately there will always be a color difference between the two. When I get down to where there's only a couple feet left on a roll, or large enough pieces of scrap that would normally just go in the trash, I cut it off, roll it up and stick them in a box. When I need to do color matches/...

I don't have degrees hanging on the wall, I grew up in a body shop before digital graphics was a big thing. I learned to paint, hand letter, how to use pounce paper to letter corporate vehicles when I was a kid. My how the industry has changed in the last 60 years. I've been in the digital end...

Hook up with Solventinkjet one of the merchant members. Has pretty much everything you need for Mimaki maintenance.

As winter sets in, and it gets dark out early, and her sign isn't lit up like everyone else's... Then she'll call her best bud Gino to hang some new faces on it that she made herself. At a discount of course :cool:

Do you need the massively reflective glass bead, or will a finer reflective work? I usually use 3M, but also use a lot of the Oralite 5650RA because it prints so good. It's a cast 7 year printable exterior reflective with air release. It's pretty conformable (have done trucks with rivets)...

I like the ones like that. We have a bunch of them, and they're so pleasant to work with. For the rest ya' just want to put something like this up on the wall in the lobby... :cool:

So... Is it considered installed if you just throw it in the van somewhere? Asking for a friend ;)

Sounds like a setup issue. When selecting the printer in color rip, select what the actual model is. If the serial number is for an SC540, then try that. There were several different 540's too, had an SC540EX Pro-II years ago, thee had the base SC540/ an SC540EX/ the EX Pro-II/ a 540EXW... Also...

CNC routers don't work good for coroplast, the material just melts when the bit gets hot, and usually leaves chatter marks. If you use a CNC for coroplast, use a drag knife instead of the router. Or invest in a flatbed cutter, they're a fraction of the cost of a CNC, they excel at this type of...

You're doing it right. Printing on black, you won't get full white coverage with a single hit. Depending on the printer and substrate (some just do better than others) it'll often take 2-3, or more layers of white to get full coverage. Think about just painting something black with white, it...

We use a variety of methods based on the need. For ones with good LED lighting I'll sometimes do the white polycarb panel with printed translucent on front, same/ mirrored on back, and it works good. If it's an older refacing with not so good lighting, I'll do clear mirrored on the back. This is...

We've been experiencing back-order issues with Avery too. Manufacturing issues is what one of our suppliers told us.

Dear valued customer, Any artwork not submitted in the proper format and file type to be print ready will be subject to design fees of $90 per hour/ one hour minimum, and includes one free edit. ;)

If it's coming out of your pocket I'll take a Mac Studio, if it's out of mine, nah... pass. I use both Mac and PC, they're all good today. Back in the early days when digital graphics was a new emerging technology Mac was hands down the best, but today the playing field is pretty level. A Mac...

Back when I used to work with a Fujifilm UV flatbed, had an ink line start leaking over a weekend onto a painted concrete floor. By the end of the weekend the puddle was about six inches in diameter, and it turned the urethane paint on the floor into snot in that spot. There are reactive things...

That's exactly what I set out to do, if I'm going back to work I just wanna help out in something I'm familiar with, love doing, and I couldn't ask for a better gig. They've been in business over 50 years, busy, yet laid back. I even bring the dog to work with me.

I wouldn't use them on the EcoSol models either. Tried & died in my experience. Results were hit & miss, usually way below expectations. If you don't use them every day those high solid white/ silver inks end up in the waste bucket because they have to keep circulating & moving or plug up lines...
