If you can, inspect the back side of one closely, there are a few ways to do those. With mirrored acrylic, amw's way will work, laser or routed, then paint or black vinyl. You should be able to tell if it's that on close inspection. If it seems to have vinyl on the back side, there's two...

How big are they? I'm with Weyandsign on this, why even mask it? It's a single simple shape, no lettering or anything complex, no multiple pieces that need to be held together.

It's a tough call to do it their way & put your name on something that you know will fail. Even if you tell them 100 times, too often they'll deny you told em' and still blame you. And want another one for free, of course.

It's been around for a while, but just started gaining in popularity recently as the machines became more refined. A couple companies have add-on accessories where you can add fine blast media with the dry ice for paint stripping, having the dry Ice mixed prevents it from heating up, so it...

If you ever get the chance to see a demo, or one in action, go for it! I did see the tail end of a demo done at a detail shop owned by a guy I know several years ago. He called and said "you gotta come see this", so I did. He wanted one because it can be used to clean everything from greasy...

Yeah, I'd go with foam core too. If it comes down it's not gonna hurt anyone, it only has to last for graduation day, so it doesn't pay to over engineer it (or the cost). Just flatbed print it, or lay a print on it, It's easy to cut, don't even need to laminate it if you don't want to, easy...

Less is more when laminating. Use the least amount of tension on the lam feed and liner take up that you can, just enough to keep it from having slack, and not a lot of roller pressure. What happens is if you have too much tension on the lam, it'll stretch the lam, then let some go over and...

Tint should be installed on the inside of the glass, perf goes on the outside. Unless he put the tint on the exterior, perf is the way to go, won't block the window, and will last longer.

Just like it says. They slide over signs for temporary changes. Like a t-shirt for signs. Most common use I've run across is temporary covering for parking signs.

Dry ice blasting is cool, you can do a lot more than remove vinyl, they'll clean just about anything without damaging. Just like most things though, good equipment isn't cheap. In some areas you may be able to rent them.

Had a couple of those Webermade dispensers years ago, was going to get one for here but they're discontinued :(

Was gonna say it could be polycarb, that can be thermoformed at low enough temps to not destroy a print (as low as 125f), but this looks a lot thicker. Sintra is an expanded PVC, that can be thermoformed too, but not sure of what temps it needs.

They plan on offering the choice of the std license, or subscription, depending on your needs. Unless they jack the price to the moon I don't really see where a subscription would be useful, unless the subcription was for a web based platform so you could access anywhere. I'm really a fan...

According to the powers that be, they say they're still going to keep Affinity as it's own entity, same development team, same course it's been on. Time will tell.

It means either Canva will get better, or Affinity will become garbage. I'm leaning towards the latter since Canva caters to crafters, amateurs, web designing, desktop publishing, the ditzy receptionist who doubles as the companies designer, not true professionals. Either way I'm sure the price...

Those are a pain in the... If you expand all the layers you'll find the shape files for each clip group. If yer' lucky you can duplicate just the clip shapes into a separate layer, combine them and use that to make your cut shape file. Then save it as an AI or EPS.

Wet applying anything with air release channels is a no-no, they're dry application only, and don't need it. Liquid gets trapped in those air release channels and causes all kinds of issues, and usually fails quicker. Vinyl can be laid in cold weather, but even the right vinyl for a wet install...

Don't know much about those, but they all work on the same principal. If you don't have puddles of ink anywhere, it's probably the cleaning cycle doing it. Does it have any different cleaning levels (light, medium, hard)? If it's on the highest level, try changing it to a lower level and see if...

Use something like 3M Primer 94 or a similar wrap product. The 3M comes in a pint can, or a pen. It's a clear primer to add extra adhesion for graphics where it's needed, like in recesses, edges of graphics that may be prone to popping loose. Don't use more than you need, because like anything...
