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...
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...
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" -...
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)
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.
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...
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...
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:
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...
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...
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?
