  1. Need Help Out-gas vinyl on polystyrene

    Polystyrene does outgas--a lot--when exposed to heat. That may be why your dark prints exhibit it more--they get hotter in sunlight. That's why it's not recommended as an outdoor substrate. Unlike ink, you cannot outgas the polystyrene and keep it from happening. It will happen through the life...

    Where are the bubbles? Between the printed vinyl and the laminate, or between the bottom of the vinyl and the substrate?

  6. BMW got a new logo

    The article says that although they put on a show car (Concept i4) they aren't going to be using the new logo on cars; that logo stays the same. The new logo will be used on communications because millennials or Gen-Z apparently can't abide things that aren't flat minimalist in their Twitter...
  7. How is this metal sign made?

  11. Discussion Forget Tariffs, what about a Pandemic?

    Look at the new cases reported in California today. They came from travel that happened a month ago. Look at the number of cases in Italy. They came from Chinese traveling to the Mediterranean for vacations a month ago or more. How else could the virus have gotten around the world between...
  12. Discussion Forget Tariffs, what about a Pandemic?

    More realities about medical research. Check this cut and paste from HHS Secretary Azar's interview today. Note that they are breaking record times with the work on a vaccine for this virus. But it will still take more than a year. And note that testing with medications is already well in...

    Travel ban on foreign nationals from China Jan 31: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/31/business/china-travel-coronavirus.html Repatriating the cruise ship passengers who are US citizens was the correct thing to do. Had they done it sooner, far fewer of them would have tested positive for the...
  14. Discussion Forget Tariffs, what about a Pandemic?

    Months ago? How many months do you think it should have been? The first cases of the virus were identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. That is less than 2.5 months ago. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak to be a public health emergency on January 30, when it became clear...

  16. S80600 Users: Do you print Red and Orange ink for outdoor use?

    Even though our S70670 only has the orange ink, before we found out that it wasn't outdoor durable, the prints we did with it lasted about 6-9 months on vehicles and signs before the orange fading was becoming evident. We had a fleet of trucks that had a yellow to orange fade plus some red...

  18. Vinyl or banner material for billboard?

    But with this customer I've already had to talk him out of a sign made of 5x10's of ACP into a banner, and explaining why I want to sell him something that costs a quarter of what he was originally going to spend and why that's going to be better for him in the long run. I've already stepped...
  19. Vinyl or banner material for billboard?

    With respect to the "just sell it and damn the consequences" attitude, I believe if you are a sign professional you are not just a banner whore but you are the source of professional information and advice. The fact that I would point out the legal necessities of doing such a sign right should...
