I don't think your customer would like paying for .063 or .080 aluminum. I think sheet aluminum is more likely to be dented, and besides, how many times will a sign get hit in a season? Try putting a piece of the material on a fence and throwing or hitting baseballs at it. Most ballfields around...
Just so you know, that's not a legal boat license number, at least not here. And I imagine all states have the same rules. The rule says block letter of good proportion and stroke in a contrasting color to the hull.
Personally, if I had to put a Prop 65 sticker on something, I'd go overboard and add that the sign will also kill you if it falls on your head, the decal will kill you if you inhale it and it blocks your airway, or if you stick it over your nose and mouth, or if you eat the whole package of them...
We didn't add construction adhesive, but VHB will not stay stuck to red brick. We ran into this with a church room sign job where a few of the signs had to go on what had once been an exterior brick wall. The VHB only stayed stuck a few months, then fell off.
Since it's a photograph and you're using Photoshop, forget making a pdf file. Just save it as a photo file like a jpg or a tiff. Your RIP software will do a better job of handling the colors that way. Your end result has a lot more wrong than just being too dark--it's entirely different colors...
Many of the blackletter fonts look good v-carved, especially the Germanic ones, which tend to have more of the straight verticals. The classic Roman letters also look great, such as Trajan.
I think on basic colors like red, blue, and black, if you had the vinyl on hand you'd find you use it up quickly. So much faster for basic lettering jobs. But that's OK, keep printing simple lettering and I'll continue taking the customers after their red logo on their truck door fades in only 2...
My question is why are you print/cutting solid red, blue, and black letters? Just buy some red, blue, and black vinyl, forget the printer, and just cut it. It will actually look better, cost you less, and last longer.
I don't know anything about that particular printer, but that looks like ink vapor deposition. On our printers, that can happen with too-low humidity in the room, or excess static electricity in the substrate.
We have an S70670, which we got when they were first introduced. It's good enough that when it wears out or starts having problems I am likely to continue with Epson. I used Mimakis before (and Summa and Roland before that). Unless the new inks are a lot different from what I am using, I don't...
