Hi, I'm doing a test of Clear Shield Select (the new version of Clear Shield) on UV prints on aluminum. Question is about application - tried 2 different paint rollers: the foam one produced a lot of pinpoint bubbles and a nap one less but still some (did not shake it but stir it). Would like to...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. I did reprint, had just enough material (I mean, like couldn't have been more tight, probably an inch or so both film and laminate)... That paper wasn't the back of the liner but of all things, a piece of a synthetic photo paper I had laying around...

I thought it was backing paper and used it as backing to trim, it stuck real good to the back of a part of a long piece of material. I don't think I have enough to do a reprint, and would prefer not to do a patch on the most noticeable part of this job. Washed it with lots of water, scrubbed it...

RISEgraphics That is the case, it is indoors, but will still fade I guess. So, we'll do our best, run color tests, etc.

Thanks JBurton, finally got one of the old panels at our office, and indeed it is more matte in the less inked areas, and more satin in the heavier printed ones. I'll check on the matte materials.

Thanks Bannertime, it does seem like the whole thing has a satin look, there was plenty of white in the originals, which I cannot access until we get a sample to our office as to match the colors, etc. Whoever is left with a minimum of info, as the original people that did are not in business...

Thank you, JBurton. What I am looking for is not a laminate, as the original was done unlaminated. I print on the ij35, with my 365, still has more shine than what I'm needing. As for Arlon, there are some "industrial" line products that may work, trying to get a sample. Of the samples that they...

Help please fellow sign people, still looking... Thought I had kind of the right look, but it happened to be a static cling material sample sent from Arlon. As for wrap materials, well, the ones that have the right look (maybe I don't have a sample), seem to be non-printable, as 3m 2080.

Have not tried it yet, but the Graphic Solutions StarPrint HT banner. Still have a little bit stock of Forward.

I have had very good results with my HP 365, and before that a HP 26500 (one issue only there was the lack of the optimizer that came later). Electricity, well, would have to be a huge production to probably make any difference. You have no smell, prints come out dry, you can laminate right...

Thanks, that would be kind of obvious, except that the original job that we are tasked to match, was not laminated

I am tasked with redoing some panels that have been overlaid with some adhesive material with a luster look, similar to a photo paper, but adhesive. Not sure if we will be able to find out what was used originally, so looking for suggestions / alternatives. The backing on the original material...

Creative solution - gutsy too...

Until the BEACHFRONT gets flooded due to the non-existent Climate Change.

Pixels - thank you! it does seem close and I'll just go with that and not drive myself crazy.

Classic question, (and they need the banner for tomorrow): do you have a vector file, an ai, a pdf, etc. Of course, not a clue what I'm talking about and, so and so had it ordered online (the logo). So, after going down my whole font list, I humbly ask for one of your enlightened souls to give...

Thanks, GB2!, I'm going to try it right now on my 365. Could not find a profile anywhere, even emailed 3M, although they claim that it works in Latex. I did the print per GB2s instructions and it went perfectly!

Thanks, that's what we did

We need to do a partial flat wrap on a bus that has a 10” approx lightly textured stone guard border on the bottom edge where part of the wrap should go. It seems to be siliconized or some other slick material and it doesn’t seem like any adhesive material would stay on. Any of you encountered...
