I am having a difficult time sourcing any paper-faced adhesive stock (vs. vinyl) in wide format rolls. I have an increasing number of clients who want paper labels. Does such a product exist?

That was an easy solution. Thank you, balstestrat. If HP is listening, I think it would be a nice option to send to cutter only.

Hi All, i'm running an HP Latex 315 Print and Cut system with Flexi Production Manager 21. I sent a job of 1.5" circle labels to print and cut but then realized that the CutContour line was not going to produce a full circle because it falls just slightly outside the edge of the artwork file (I...

Thanks, Raum.

Thanks, Gino.

That's a cool approach, but as you say, more of a 'craft' solution. I'll let this thread know what I end up trying. Thanks for the tip.

I'm not sure how you delineate the two, but these are meant to be room signs that tell people what room they're looking at. They're an alternative to "Room 1, Room 2", etc.

Huh, primed with mod podge. That's interesting. Would you recommend any particular version of mod podge as I see many versions available? Any idea what the MP is doing that prevents bleed more so than an untreated ceramic?

Thanks, Gino. Those are all good thoughts. They wanted a clear coat, in part, so that they could clean it with a cleaner without risk of it peeling away. They also liked the effect of a thicker coating. And thanks for the clarification on positioning.

Hi All, New to the sign business in the last year and getting terrible customer service help from Grimco where I bought my HP Latex 315. Phone calls and emails to both tech support and customer service routinely go unanswered. Just appalling. Alas, I am turning to the real experts (those here...

Hi All, I've been working on some 6"x4" ceramic blanks that are going onto bedroom doors in an inn. My first attempt was to use die-cut vinyl, apply direct to ceramic and then clear coat it with mod podge spray lacquer. We may have applied the coats to thick, but as the pictures (hopefully)...

Thanks, fuzzy_cam!

OK, that's very helpful. I appreciate it.

Thank you! Your mention of Spot Colour made me go through the documentation again and I realized I hadn't actually converted either die-line colour to Spot. I also seemed to have to name the Perf line exactly as you suggested in order for it to be recognized. 'Cutthrough' was not picked up. Is...

Printer: HP Latex 315 Cutter: HP Latex 54 Plus Cutter Software: HP Flexi 21 + Adobe Illustrator CC We have a label with a custom die-cut line we want to kiss cut and then a second square dieline for a cut through. We have successfully created an Illustrator file with separate layers for...

Loving this forum. So helpful to us and I look forward to eventually being able share our own experience. For what it's worth, Arctic lustre seems like semi-gloss or satin to me. It was also sold to us that way as an in between matte and gloss. Again, laying the reflective over the lam seems to...

Thank you so much. I found an old thread around this topic and there was debate over what/not to do. I really appreciate your assessment. We ended up over-laming the print and tehn applied the die-cut reflective vinyl over top. Looks great imho.

Thanks for the reply. I just did a test with it with a flashlight, and it appears to reflect just as well as the non-laminated version. Could this worsen over time or should I be safe to use it? Client would prefer not to use gloss across the sign.

Hi All, I'm sure this is a newbie question, but I asked my supplier if I can/should over-laminate reflective vinyl I'm putting on a roadside sign. They said yes, I should use 'optically clear' laminate. So two questions... 1) What constitutes 'optically clear' laminate? I currently use Arctic...

It almost looks like a handmade font to me. Are you trying to recreate it or type something new with the font? If the former, I find importing chunky fonts into Illustrator and using Live Trace a great way to get vector based font when I can't get an online font match. Hope this helps.
