  3. Vinyl Banner Wrap Around Frame - Question...

    We are a contract picture framer, and stretch canvas all the time. We don't have any experience with stretching vinyl, but we do have a table specifically deigned for this sort of thing. If you are going to do it often you might consider buying one. Below is a link to the company that makes...
  4. Direct Print to Acrylic - Volume

    Unfortunately we don't have an application table. We only have a roll laminator. I have seen the roll applicators at the tradeshow and thought about purchasing, but they take-up so much space! We have finished 50+ of the 82 boards we need to print and cut and the process seems to be working...

  6. Sign Promotion Ideas during this pandemic?

    The attached image (social distancing sidewalk decal) was in my most recent marketing email from Fellers, but I don't have any templates to share. Grocery stores could definitely use these both at cashier lines and lining-up outside the building.
  7. Direct Print to Acrylic - Volume

    The DRB-418 is a diamond tool so it polishes as part of the edge breaking process; therefore, no additional steps are needed. We have a Multicam 3000 with automatic tool changer, camera, drag knife and oscillating knife. It was purchased primarily for woodworking with graphics finishing as an...
  8. Direct Print to Acrylic - Volume

    1/64" deep from surface and 1/32" off-set from finished edge. Just enough to take off the edge but not so much to change the appearance from afar. Close-up you can tell, but from a distance you don't notice it.
  9. Direct Print to Acrylic - Volume

    To create the broken edges we use "Amana's DRB-418 CNC Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) 90 Degree Engraving, V-Grooving and Chamfering Router Bit 1/2 Dia x 3/8 x 1/4 Shank". We only break the edge on the viewer's side, because it would be too complicated to flip the acrylic when the...
  10. Direct Print to Acrylic - Volume

    First off, thanks everyone for your time and advice. Is it your standard to include a backer or only by request or never? If so, what material do you use and when in the process do you apply it? Assuming I nest on a full sheet then route on the CNC I suspect you are suggesting the backer...
  11. Direct Print to Acrylic - Volume

    Thanks for the feedback. You have convinced me that I should at least attempt to cut the blanks on the CNC before printing. I'll run some some tests this afternoon. On the plus side I expect way improved yield from my acrylic, because Caldera wasn't doing the most efficient job nesting the 230...

    We won a job to print 230+ unique images on acrylic ranging from 20"x20" up to 40"x60". We are planning to direct print 2nd surface with white ink on 51"x100"x0.25" acrylic sheets and then cut on our CNC. Our software/equipment: RIP: Caldera V13.1 printer: HP FB550 Router: Multicam 5000 with...

  14. GS6000 Dark Colors smudging/not drying

    GS6000 smudging issue resolved - isolated to 54" wide GS Photo Paper Hey all, Seems like I solved it. The problem was a bad roll of 54" media. The 30" GS Poster Paper and 60" GS Poster paper aren't having the same issues experienced with the 54". We are going to have our dealer or Epson...
  15. GS6000 Dark Colors smudging/not drying

    We are running a GS6000 with colorburst RIP 9.6.1. Media: GS Poster Paper Problem: We are getting smudging (ink drying issue) anywhere the dark colors are present. As a result, the paper is sticking to itself on the take-up reel causing blotches all over the prints. While replicating the...
