    Half tone, then there's no surprises with the output.
  3. I've been Asked to be a Contractor

    We have a manufacturer around the corner from us that sold their products through dealers but also direct. In order to get out of local direct sales/service, they offered one of their employees a similar setup. They leased them one of their buildings and started sending local parts, service...
  4. Lexan bending questions

    The trimlok will cover the sharp edges. Round off any corners before bending so nothing is pointy. We used to use 040 for hose covers inside of school buses when we put in A/Cs
  5. Lexan bending questions

    Maybe use a flexible adhesive like Lexel or 5200?
  6. Mobile Sheet Cart

    We built an A-Frame rack similar to the one gnubler posted but it has a solid back. We also use some drywall carts (per an S101 suggestion) to move work in progress around the shop
  7. 28’ AT&T NASCAR Trailer Rewrap

    That looks like a mobile cell tower that they roll around to large events where the main towers would be overwhelmed. They also can use them in emergencies. There's a lot of money inside of those and Nascar might co-op the expense of the job. Either way, I wouldn't be afraid to shoot high...

    Bare aluminum corrodes pretty fast
  9. Lexan bending questions

    I'd go with aluminum or bond some aluminum angle supports on the inside bends of the lexan. If you want a nice looking finished edge, use trimlok on the edges

    Corel sounds much better after hearing this. Myront, why the changeup?
  11. When "your" customers get signage elsewhere

    And cheap again. I don't think it's inflation, I think people frivolously blew their money over the past couple years and being forced to sober up from their spending binge is painful. Maybe it's just me but it seems that some accounts are taking longer to pay their bills now too. Ive been...

  14. How long to you warranty wraps?

    You could probably avoid a lot of this type of thing if you steer customers away from any horizontal graphics. Do something on the sides and back but leave the rest. It has little value and only lowers the lifespan of the product as a whole.

    adhesive, you know what I meant burton
  16. Urgent Design Help

    They will see the sign, they recognize Urgent Care from watching Tiktok. Don't be so judgy, one day these kids will be changing your diapers.

    We offer a taillight warranty on everything that leaves our shop.
  18. Are all marketing departments slow??

    Got a few jobs held up waiting on clarification and/or files from a few internal marketing departments. Are they all slow? The end users are pushing me but it's their own people dragging their feet.
  19. SLX+ Good Idea or Bad

    I mainly use 3755 print vinyl which is air egress https://substance.com/products/icon-pm-3755 Laminate PL3150 https://substance.com/products/icon-pl-3150 They did add a new material, RS275, that they say is inline with IJ40/3551. I recently used the sample they sent out so can't speak for...
