Unless you have a lab that can do accelerated environmental testing, your testing is done in the field. I tend to agree with RJ that the resin is interacting with the inks (personally, I like the darker look though :-)). In any case, I've got a domed decal I did on my truck as a test bed.. been...

You'll be fine. I usually do stuff like that with enamels, but I don't see why automotive acrylic enamel wouldn't work. You can save a step by masking the surface before you rout your copy - that way you can paint over your mask and not touch the surface with the paint.

Yep, they just killed my local Advantage office. 6 people now out of work.

Mutoh 1204 with their Eco-Solvent inks. Laminated with 3M 8519. The heat shouldn't make that much difference - sun exposure sure will, though.

I dunno... my laminated eco-solvent prints have been on the streets for at least 5 years now and still looking decent...

Can't use PVC? Oh, and there is black foamcore available (as an example 3/16" Black Buffered Foam Core Boards :48 X 96

Why do you need a white face if you're doing a full bleed print? Order black foamcore and be done with it.

Apparently depps is blasting this unit on other threads. If you're that unhappy with the plotter, I'll gladly trade you my T750 for yours...

I'm going to second the knife calibration. I've got a T750 that's over 15 years old and I just replaced the head last year as it was starting to do what you are looking at. It's remotely possible that the head wasn't set correctly at the factory or it got moved/damaged in shipment. Call Summa -...

I'd ask for a daylight photo or two. I can't see the 680 failing like that, and I've never had a paint "bleed" through that would affect the vinyl in such a fashion. It's remotely possible they cleaned the truck with something that affected only the back doors, but that's reaching.

The walls will just be painted. With what, I don't know. It's a firing range, so I'm going to guess something simple and with a gloss. I don't plan on taping anything to the pvc.. as mentioned, it won't hold. Hence my thoughts on screwing a full length cleat to the back. Now I'm thinking to...

Not feeling the gator. I know where you're going with it Bill, but I'm looking for a profiled edge.

Ok, here's the deal. Customer wants 6 large (4' x 8') panels mounted on an interior wall just above shoulder height. They want something "dimensional", the panels will have a full coverage digital print. The wall is solid high compression concrete... think bomb shelter stuff. Initially they...

PM me... got quite a few from old police jobs.

I'd just glue the inlay with the clear acrylic glue. Why do you want to encapsulate everything? I'm half thinking depending on where it's going to be there might be some issue with expansion that might pop the resin.

Yes, you have to draw the ink through the lines somehow to fill the dampers. Most people use a syringe on the line right at the damper until the ink gets there, then drawing from the drain line, creating that suction on the maintenance station.

I'm using the 3M as well. Tried some other, less expensive brands but unfortunately the 3M seems to work 'best'. Yes to anything printed you want to last - you need to laminate. Street signs are regulated unless they are in a private community. You need to follow strict MUTCD guidelines... most...

That was going to be my suggestion as well. Try it as a .jpg and see if it still fills. What program are you designing in?

Yep, that's a Leo's Gold font. I've had some success hand building an alphabet from those.. pain in the butt though.

I was leaning towards the 3425 but my books are so old I couldn't trust if that was a close color. I'll have to test print up some pieces and see what works. But that's a good start - thanks!
