  1. how would you do this?

    They butt up pretty good, but from a few feet away there is a pretty noticeable dark seam. By sheeting the ACM panels and wrapping the edges, I mean the whole sheet, not just where the logo is. When we bid on this job a few months ago, the artwork was still up in the air, so we assumed it...
  2. how would you do this?

    Thank you, the first suggestion seems like a viable option. We are going to try a few different ways with some scrap pieces to find what works best. If we can avoid having to sheet and edge wrap the entire panels without sacrificing the finished product, then we will.
  3. how would you do this?

    What are you talking about? The job is specd to be ACM panels screwed to an existing plywood barricade wall. We are asking others for advice on how they would go about doing that so that it looks its best. We don't want the black core of the ACM to show at the butt joints. So please do...
  4. how would you do this?

    Signtime and I are business partners. Dimensional is not an option. The concern is the looks of the but joints of the ACM. No cleating can be used. We are removing an existing sign that was sintra and warped a bit and that is why they want to use ACM. The panels are to be screwed into an...
  5. Signburst

    Just placed an order with Casey, got an inferno on the way. Can't wait to try this thing out, might have to put a seatbelt on my desk chair.
  6. Few questions RE: HP Printer Vs Roland.

    Care to elaborate?
  7. Large Wall Mural

    I agree, but they specifically requested a high tack vinyl.
  8. Big squeege for wall murals?

    If the vinyl will be air release and have application tape on it maybe I can use an empty 3" cardboard core as a big squeege. Seems once you have hte top 6" laid down, and 4' of backer pulled down, that you could just run the core down the vinyl. Anybody ever try that?
  9. Big squeege for wall murals?

    Can I ask what type of vinyl you used and about how long your install was? We think we want to use an air release vinyl, unlaminated but with medium tack application tape. We are thinking of adding app tape to make the install easier, unlaminated vinyl tends to stretch, but laminate isn't...
  10. Big squeege for wall murals?

    I figured the bs was capable, but you alluded to what I was afraid of, driver error. The install of this mural is next monday and tuesday. So even if I can get a bs in time for the job... we'll have little to no time to practice with it and don't want to learn on the fly with this job...
  11. Large Wall Mural

    80'x14' wall wrap, ceiling to floor. They requested that we do not use low tack vinyl as they have had bad experience in the past with it. Wall wrap will only be up for 3-4 months and they don't care if there is any damage to the drywall when it is removed. Wondering how others would go about...
  12. Big squeege for wall murals?

    Will be installing an 80'x14' wall mural soon and wondering if a big squeege would speed it up much. The panels will be 52"x14' installed vertically, and go from ceiling to floor. Have read a lot on here at how well the big squeege works, but have never used one myself. Would it work well for...
  13. How are these made?

    I figured the DG3 would have to be layered and not printable. But hand cutting? Wouldn't have thought that, never worked with DG3 before, must be some pretty tough stuff. Looks like farming out might be the way to go. Any suggestions who to use? Grimco has them but hopping to find a better...
  14. How are these made?

    Looking to bid on some of these crosswalk signs, and trying to figure out if it would make sense to keep them in house. What is the normal means of producing these? The fluorescent yellow-green and white parts are DG3 reflective, and the black and red parts seem to be opaque. Can the...
  15. Yellow blocks in print

    Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty sure that is what's going on with ours too, at least I hope. Tech coming out today or tomorrow to replace the ribbon cable for the yellow head.
  16. Yellow blocks in print

    Any other ideas on what might be causing this? Anybody ever have a similar problem?
  17. Yellow blocks in print

    Waiting for my roland tech to call back.
  18. Yellow blocks in print

    That is something that I thought of as well, but how can I tell if there is a short? I looked for any noticeable kinks but didn't see any.
  19. Yellow blocks in print

    Roland xj540 printing yellow blocks and vertical lines. Seems to be in the same horizontal area of the prints, but different patterns of blocks and lines. Just randomly appears. Printed the same file a few times and got the blocks in different spots vertically, but pretty much the same...
