You could easily test it, but from the samples I've seen in the past EcoSol inks tend to be very thin & saturated but transparent, meaning they wont give you the same hazy effect that a thicker UV ink would. Think you would get a similar result to the latex photos attached earlier on in this thread.

What kind of printer are you working with? As others mentioned white ink can give you something along the same line, though it's not really a frost. Clear gives more of a true frosted look. But any UV printer, even those without white or clear ink, can give you a kind of "frosted" look because...

Have you had issues with the raised ink curling and chipping off the the signs from DCS like this?

We export the files back to Illustrator and set them up from there depending on the process we're using the produce the signs (Photopolymer, Drilled Braille Beads/Applique, or UV Printed) We have the Mimaki JFX200-2513EX

We do all of our braille for ADA signs in Flexi. It's expensive and clunky software but the auto-serializing makes setting up large batches of signs much easier.

Doesn't prevent every problem, but, boy does it help + the building a relationship thing is important, if your designers are too intimated to go ask someone how to set up a job, you're going to have a lot more issues come production time. Now if we could just make this standard for our project...

I run the art dept at a sign shop and we have this issue every time we look to hire on new designers. Finding designers with any type of signage experience is hard. Best advice I can give: For the add itself: Consider looking for candidates is associated trades - our go to is to list in the add...

Lots of close fonts, can't find an exact match - any help appreciated. Nevermind, I'm convinced it is Skinny Jeans, just modified to look like this. *sorry I don't think there is a way to remove posts?*

We got an order for yeti decals about 6 or 7 years ago, wound up using thin supercast (think it was Avery) and applying it with heat. But we didn't wrap the whole thing, just the front flat section under the yeti logo. Hate working on that textured plastic material

"Home of the" looks like Honey Script "Hangar" looks like Constructa ExtraBold (you have have issues tracking that one down though)

Our shop has the Mimaki JFX200-2513EX. We jumped on it pretty early and I'm now way more cautious about any of these printers that claim to print braille signs well. We liked it well enough for "2.5 D" printing but started having failures pretty early on and gave up using it for braille, opting...

In Illustrator - select your clipping masked shape - make the area you want to keep a color temporarily so you can grab it easier later. Then with the clipping mask selected, click on crop from the pathfinder panel. Use the magic wand tool to select only the colored sections, go to select/select...

Sorry for the slow reply, I've tried both of these methods with no luck. Our production team seems to think I need to add registration marks in AI, but I'm not sure, will keep messing around with it.

SignAgent & the process we use now, still has a user manually placing what are essentially icons at each sign location - the software aspect just lets us automatically count how many of each icon has been placed (IE: how many amenity room signs vs utility or back of house signs). When plans...

The way we do it right now is incredibly time-consuming and because we do them in AI or InDesign they can only be done by designers who know how to use those. I don't expect anything?? - you're making it sound like I'm asking out of laziness? I'm just asking in general how other sign companies...

I'm sorry, why can't you just tell us the name of the software you use? I'm not going to give my email to a random chat board user based on.. nothing?

Honestly we're considering building something from scratch. We have a custom dashboard for keeping track of jobs/different department tasks, inventory, etc. but it took ages to build (we hired out for the that project, don't have anyone in house that can do it) I'm surprised there isn't another...

Agreed, hence why I'm looking for alternatives. Our clients expect us to provide the counts & content for all of their signs, but the way we do that right now is really inefficient.
