  1. About Print Wrap vinyls brands

    Although we've used Arlon in the past, we've settled on Avery wrap vinyls. They do have a line of the special effects overlaminates you are interested in.
  2. FB always makes me chuckle

    Seems like that would make everything a belly/lower back print if it's supposed to frame the printable area.
  3. Need Help What is my issue? Media Brand, ICC Profile, or?

    I tried to look up Kelly Paper's vinyl offerings, but they have a rather opaque website. However, it looks like you have some settings wrong in your Onyx RIP. You need to look at your Quick Sets and see how it's handling color and profiles.
  4. Suggestions clear or translucent acrylic w/ translucent vinyl?

    Use the white acrylic. It will not block too much light. Also, if you don't make a double print, the ink will be too washed out when lit from behind.
  5. Dimensional Letters Outside - Thickness/Material?

    I don't think they can drill and tap 3/16" acrylic. 1/4" is minimum. Even then, if the letters are large, they may seem too thin at 1/4". We've done a fair amount of aluminum 1/4" and 3/8" letters with various finishes, which look pretty nice. But when you get to 1/2" and above, whether...
  6. Need Help File convert

    We use Corel Draw.
  7. Digital Camo pattern needed

    I think a lot of people have chimed in, but did you ever consider that nobody can point you to a product that doesn't exist or that nobody has ever used? You can check out Aurora Graphics. They sell wrap graphic designs, and have an extensive collection of camo patterns. I just browsed through...
  8. Retractable Banner 33.46in x 81.10in Textured vinyl

    If they are requesting a quote for a retractable banner, just quote whatever standard 33.5" retractable banner you usually do. They all go roughly 7' tall, which you can vary as the artwork requires. For textured material, that would likely be 10 oz scrim banner material.
  9. Prepping for Installs

    I think your partner needs to seek professional help for his OCD. We don't have a service truck, so we can't do it like Tex. Even so, the longest it ever takes, even including a run by Lowe's for screws, etc., is 15-30 minutes. When I am doing price quotes I add 1 hour to the install time quote...
  10. Suggestions GRAY OR BROWN ??

    If your media profile has been made correctly, using the profile will make correct grays. However, in the output section of the quickset profiles selection, you have alternate choices for gray replacement to solve this very issue if you are not using a proper profile.
  11. Digital, Offset, or Latex for decals?

    I'm guessing these are some kind of instruction or warning label, containing text and/or simple graphics? If I were doing them, I'd likely have stickers like that screenprinted. I use Stouse for that kind of stuff.
  12. Suggestions GRAY OR BROWN ??

    This is something you can fix in your RIP. It varies depending on the RIP, but basically you need to tell it how you want it to make gray. You can make gray with CMY or primarily K. When you make it with CMY, it comes out brown.
  13. Big Circle...

    To adhere the two pieces together you use PVC cement. You can use the stuff you put PVC pipes together with, but for making indoor sign structures out of expanded PVC sheet, I have found Weld-On #16 to be the easiest to work with. It doesn't dry instantly, but it is therefore easier to control...
  14. Digital Camo pattern needed

    There are lots of generic digital camo patterns available from the usual clipart suppliers. But you originally asked for Sitka Waterfowl, which is a trademarked pattern. You aren't going to be able to find that.
  15. Need tips for replace 30'W 3'H sign face and potential 50'

    These are local/regional companies. I don't think we have any national rental companies. There are only 3 choices here.
  16. Need tips for replace 30'W 3'H sign face and potential 50'

    Around here it's more like $375-$450 a day and the construction companies and electricians have them reserved most of the time and you have to wait for one.
  17. RIP/dither issue

    The thing that seems off is that the black dots are not uniform across the whole circle or square. Many of the shapes have a rim with no black dots, not to mention the unevenness across the shape. And those black dots are huge. Definitely something wrong in the way the RIP is doing things. I...
  18. RIP/dither issue

    I don't think you should be seeing huge dithering like that, uneven or not, with an inkjet printer. What resolution and passes are you using?
  19. RIP/dither issue

    Are those supposed to be solid colored squares?
