Was just about to post the ModelMark. Requires a Gerber Edge.

Like I said, that is common behavior for these materials. Specialty Materials' Color Print Solvent is worse about it. Your printer heat settings are probably too high though. We use Preheat at 95 degrees (35 C), print at 86 degrees (30 C), dry at 95 (35 C), for a material that presses at 275 F.

It's a common problem with that type of material to have trouble getting it off the carrier paper. Squeegee the application tape onto the transfer material HARD. Then turn it backing paper up and carefully peel it off. You'll need to pull the backing paper across itself at a 180 degree angle and...

On our CG130FX it's extremely sensitive to how straight you load the vinyl in the plotter. You have to fiddle with it until it's straight enough on long cuts to be able to read the cutter marks.

Air release media is a must if you are going to be doing wraps. It's difficult to get a smooth application even on a flat 4'x8' sign with non-air-release media. And when doing wraps you will need the repositionability of air release wrap media. I would say the best material to use is the same...

Thanks! That one will do.

Anyone able to identify this font? None of the font finding sites could. Don't tell me where to get the logo; I have it direct from the company. But I need to be able to type other words with the font.

If anyone wants to see the difference in what your RIP can do vs. your software, take a typical digital photo, one with good vibrant colors on a clear, sunny day. Send it to print twice, once by just putting the jpg file right in the RIP, and once by converting it to CMYK in your design software...

It's not necessarily online purchasing that drives these calls. For us, it's national franchise stores that get their signs from a franchise-approved vendor. Since the vendor is not local, they hire local shops to do the installation. Some of these work out OK, but others not so much. We were...

If all you need is the logo in vector, it's on page one of this brochure. https://www.lambretta.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Lambretta_Scooter_Catalogue_ENG_sm.pdf If you were wanting to type different words using the same font, no luck yet.

The thing that's funny about that is that the vast majority of the ink that a sign shop purchases is used to make printed vinyl signs and banners and so on. A portion of the ink ends up in the waste bottle to keep the heads alive and the tubes unclogged. Where do the VOC's that get sprayed onto...

There is a Lambretta font, but I think it's an older version of the logo. http://www.lambretta.co.uk/downloads/lambretta.zip

They do have solvents. But they are not hazardous in typical workplace exposure, which means the vapor that enters the room air during normal use. Here's a cut and paste from the MSDS for Epson Ultrachrome GS3 ink: " Safety Data Sheet HMIS rating: 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS...

Mine says "dispose in accordance with applicable regulations"

Every state has different rules. Every waste generator needs to find out what their state requires.

The only testing/certification available for inks used indoors is UL's Greenguard/Greenguard Gold program. It uses standards based on Washington State (Greenguard) and California (Greenguard Gold) regulations for VOC's, heavy metals, etc. HP has made much noise over being Greenguard Gold...

I contacted our state Department of Natural Resources, and we actually have a requirement that paints and inks be poured into an adsorbent (kitty litter) and after drying/solidifying it is disposed in solid waste collection (the dumpster). It cannot be poured into the trash. So we keep a foil...

^^^ This. It's really called Glas Apeel I think.

I don't think I've ever seen colored .080 aluminum. Only prepainted white. We would paint or sheet with the background color.

On my computer the closest font is Futura LT Pro Book Bold. The BEM is spot-on, but the A is a little wider. The terminals of the S are at slightly different angles. The apostrophe is a "straight" apostrophe rather than a "curly" one, and appears to have been sized down.
