I need to make some front adhesive decals with a white backing, trying to figure out an efficient way to do it short of silkscreening 9 colors. anyone ever solvent inkjet printed on clear vinyl, laminated, cut then did a silkscreen white topcoat over the laminate?

Unless you know someone and can get somewhere special i'd not even consider it. The last launch people were literally stuck on the 528 up to 25 miles away from the cape because there was just that much traffic and that many people. At that rate you might just as well go to daytona instead and...

Try a real dictionary instead of a hand typed website :) No such word as 'pavillion'. I looked in my real printed paper dictionary, dictionary.com and dictionary.app on my mac, none of them found a reference to the word spelled that way.. Pavilion on the other hand immediately hits the same...

Is Pavilion spelled wrong on purpose?

Thanks for the dose of common sense Pat :)

I'm actually quite good with illustrator, you try to vectorize a 6 foot by 3 foot piece of art. Not some dinky logo, full size artwork with all it's details. No BS autotraces, no text, no simple shapes. Of course i'm not sitting here working on one file 12 hours a day for months, but start to...

Wireframe doesn't expose overlaps of the same path as far as I can tell. I'm a stencil maker, printing isn't what i'm after.

The parts that are really causing me the headaches are all compound paths in illustrator. If I uncompound I get something that doesn't work, I never realized that compound paths seem to retain all kinds of lines that you don't see.

Hiya.. got an issue I can't seem to resolve here :( I drew a vector art file in illustrator, took months to do. Very complex and approximately 6 feet by 3 feet in size. So, all done vectoring and imported into Flexi for cutting (making stencils of the art) and it seems every time I did a...

Ok. Have a rather complex piece of art I need to cut from vinyl that I created in illustrator and it looks good for my needs.. However, when I export it as Illy 8 for import into flexi 8 flexi seems to create duplicates of many lines so when I send it to the cutter it cuts the same line so many...

Much cheaper? There pretty much aren't any droid tablets and the ones there are generally are more expensive than ipad is. Top that off with the fact that android just doesn't have a tablet friendly version of their OS yet and i'm not sure what you're saying.

What's the chance the artwork doesn't touch the middle of the 4x10 sheet and you could just install it in 4 pieces with a 3/4 aluminum channel painted to match the base color? Would be pretty much invisible and you could call it 'easy to install or change part of the sign' and maybe turn an...

Lol, his offer for training on a trade isn't so dumb now is it :) Modern tinters form the tint to the window by putting it on the outside of the glass and heat gunning it to shrink it where they want it to.

I used it on some red cedar signs CNC'd and painted with ronan paints.. stuff took 3 weeks almost to cure and lose a white haze it developed but once it did it's been tough as nails ever since.

I'm still waiting on the version of Flexi where they support people that buy the current version and not leave them hanging with buggy software while they work on the next big version to grab a grand out of your pocket for. I have flexi 8.5 but ended up dropping back to 7.6 because the support...

They are essentially the same machine, but the Sign Warehouse version of that machine absolutely sucks. Not because the hardware is bad, but because sign warehouse won't support it for crap. You will never see an updated firmware for a SW version to fix all the bugs in it while Graphtec...

based on the brush strokes i'm almost guessing it's hand painted

Any of the merchant members print those tall flags with the curved pole that stick in the ground? I need a couple printed for a customer. Email me if you can. Thanks! /brian

Sign warehouse sucks. Bad customer service, bait and switch tactics etc etc. Nothing but excuses never action. BAH. Some of the examples given earlier are almost laughably stupid.. selling paint protection to sign companies instead of car dealers?? hello.. car dealers have been subbing...

if there's still glue or vinyl there wet sanding will destroy the paint. There's no way you're going to sand off the glue and not hit paint. Use something like goo gone or another citrus based adhesive remover and a hair dryer.
