As far as I can tell, the 2013 Flex didn't have an OEM sharkfin. Best practice would be to buy the antenna so you can make the car whole quickly and chalk it up to experience. Then change the way you handle take-off parts so it doesn't happen again.

what is the name of the municipality?

The words are bigger with only one picture of the sombrero, so the design is better that way from that standpoint. But I too would like to see what basis they have for judging the merits of the layout when getting a permit. That would certainly be a morass they really don't want to get into from...

After looking on the manufacturer's website and even the websites of the companies that sell this machine, I would say that this machine is not made for grommeting banners. The biggest issue is if the operator has to stand right in front of the machine, where is the banner supposed to go while...

I think he said they told him it couldn't have maracas twice. That's a Mexican stereotype too.

The biggest thing is setting up the expectation for how long the sign will last. People think that digitally printed signs will last forever, but they don't. Just because it's the newest technology doesn't mean it's the best for longevity. In fact, it's the worst. The bad part is that with more...

That is true, but it won't account for different outputs when printing the same pantone color from a customer created file and a user created file, on the same media with the same printer, RIP, and media profile.

I am keying from the behavior you identified with a customer-supplied pdf. You probably have your software set to keep the color profile of imported objects. So when the color prints right on that imported object but not on objects you create de novo, that tells me the problem lies in your...

Check your color output settings in your software. It's probably in the profiles you are using.

No. Even cast wrapping film won't guarantee clean removal that long.

You can't cut from a low quality jpg. You can't cut from a high quality jpg. You can only cut from a vector file. So if the vinyl is cutting weird, the vector file is weird. All of that is IF the cutter and blade are all working the way they are meant to. You can get weirdness in the output if...

It really depends on how far away you will be viewing the sign from. A billboard can look perfectly fine when photos are 25 dpi at final size. Most signage will be perfect with photos that are 100 or 150 dpi at final size. And you can often get away with 50 or 75 dpi and the sign still look OK...

I was actually being sarcastic. 1/4" steel plate would be far too heavy for most applications. It's 10.2 lbs per sq ft, so that would be a 30.6 lb 18x24. What sort of vandalism are you dealing with? The sign vinyl isn't going to be that durable. You can use 1/8" aluminum--that's what is...

1/4" steel plate?

Although the warranty is only 3 years, the life is much longer. I have some panels out there now for beyond 8 years now.

The polymetal being thin is immaterial. You put the stud through the polymetal and put a washer and nut on it. Clip off the stud so it doesn't stick so far out the back.

There certainly are differences in how soft the various expanded PVC sheets are. In the old days our vendors had Trovicel, which had quite a hard surface. Now they sell Palight and Ion, which are soft as, well not butter, but maybe cheese. Sintra is also harder.

If you have a 30" printer, you need at least a 30" laminator. And a 30" cutter. I've never seen a 28" or 34" cutter. They make different sizes because people want to be able to fit the machines in different places. Or because they have different requirements for the output they will be producing.

What are the materials you are using now? We do this all the time with Avery 750 and 950, and some 3M 7125. (We don't mix the cast and calendared on the same job). Our standard application tape is R-Tape RLA 4075 high tack. We have no trouble at all.

Like the person asking about material for phone skins, spend $20 and find out. Buy one. Pick it apart. Feel it. You can figure out what they made it from. Most likely using a textured overlaminate on printed vinyl. It could be different textures of dreamscapes or wallscapes media, but then you'd...
