  1. Windshield curvature?

    Oh yeah, you only have to map out or measure half the windshield too. Since it better be symmetrical :rolleyes:
  2. any difference between a clear 3ml vinyl and a 3ml laminate?

    From what I can remember, there were only slight differences in the adhesive composition. And the printable vinyl got some corona treatment on the surface. However, I've used lamination to print on when I didn't have clear. Worked just fine, since I always laminate prints anyway. Plain 'ol clear...
  3. Johnny Bench wants a Wrap ! Who wants to tackle this one ?

    I was totally on board until he said he wanted to wrap a Camary. :omg: Wait... Who wraps a Camary? That's when I knew it was a scam. :ROFLMAO:
  4. Windshield curvature?

    The vinyl will curve in a slight frown, to conform to a compound curve. Most people get this wrong and make it a smile.
  5. Printable clear media suggestions?

    There is a dedicated transparent film that can be printed on for windows and displays, and it removes easy without residue. I think oracal makes one. Doing the acrylic prints on photo paper, one would only need to have some optically clear double sided mounting film. You could knock that job out...
  6. I need longer lasting prints! I have the eco sol blues.

    True Solvent Printers last longer. I mean look at the super large billboard signs on the back of the hotels here facing the freeway on the strip. From Mandalay Bay on down to Caesars. They all have huge semi-permanent signs advertising their long running shows. Obviously they aren't run on 64" -...
  7. Signworld America or display-wholesale.com - Sale direct to Retail?

    Sound to me like it's high time you saved up and got your own container full of stuff. BTW... those prices for those pop-up banners are almost twice as high as I can get. (and I don't have to prove I'm in any industry, as long as my card clears)
  8. Direct to substrate durability

    No reason why you can't laminate the panels afterwards. Either film or liquid laminate will suffice. To me it doesn't matter if it's latex, solvent or uv cured... all prints should be protected from scratching and the elements. That is if you actually want to stand behind your work.
  9. Fellers Catalog

    Fixed again...
  10. Printable clear media suggestions?

    I would first ask what the end purpose of your second surface prints would be? Because, let's face it... if you are using a solvent or latex based wide format printer, the print quality for something that could be considered a high end product, isn't that great. It's not actually photographic...
  11. Looking for a portable printer

    Just get your own Durst Lambda or Lightjet Printer.
  12. Buying a franchise

    I can't take anything serious that ends in "...a-rama" "...teria" or "...opolis" I know, I'm going to start a new sign franchise company. I'll call it, "Signikea" where we just provide the basic materials to the customer, and they can make their own signs at home. They'll get a squeegee and...
  13. sTUMPED

    I like Laser much better than Rapier
  14. Fellers Catalog

    Bring It!
  15. Scanning Images into Vector Art

    Never used that one. In fact I don't use anything in that block. I skim right on down to path/blend/envelope distort. Learned something new today... oohh, right before midnight too! :thumb:
  16. Fellers Catalog

    Fixed!
  17. Wraps are dead...

    Zartan (Then later they came out with Zarana and Zandar. They also changed color)
  18. Scanning Images into Vector Art

    While I've never used the "Round Corners Filter" because it sucks... (Can't export that shape as g-code or any type of cutting path) I have always wanted a round corner function like the you posted! Awesome! Now, I'm going to have to play with it to see if I can use this to route/cut with. (Or...
  19. Scanning Images into Vector Art

    I'll check it out. I do a lot of CNC prototyping and 2D CAD work in Illustrator. (And the occasional vectorization, where eyeballing is OK) But for the most part, I have to work within the common inside radii that router and milling bits come in. I usually click the rounded corner tool and type...
  20. Scanning Images into Vector Art

    Eric, what is the shortcut you are using to change the rounded corners on the fly while still having the shape selected? OK, Arrow Keys up and down... cool. But where can I see the radius numbers as they are changing?
