  6. Backlits, How are you doing them?

    Backlit film I started using Magic Backlit Film (SBL-7 Polyester Backlit Film) on my L26500. Very pleased with the results. It is white translucent so it diffuses the light pretty well. Here are a few prints that are just taped to the windows in my shop.

  8. Backlits, How are you doing them?

    When I was at last sign shop we would: Print on Oracal 3640 w/ "high density" (basically just an overprint). Then laminate and apply it to the face of polycarbonate (or acrylic). Although I feel like this is a bit of a cheap way out, (using calandered vinyl) it worked great and helped keep the...

  11. Buying a new printer...Which one?

    Materials Forgot to mention that, with the exception of banner material; I use all the same medias on my Latex printer that I did with my Solvent printers. 3M Control Tac 180,380,162, etc. Oracal 3640, 3651, etc. You will need to buy nicer banner material because of the heat, but your...
  12. Buying a new printer...Which one?

    +1 for HP 26500. It's a great workhorse. No stinky solvents, very low maintenance. I'm never going back to solvent again. Print quality is very consistent and looks great. Solvent printers are more sensitive to your environment too. Need a well controlled environment to print...
  13. Is there a "Complete Idiot's Guide to Wide Format Printing" or something?

    Make sure you turn it off for a week or two to let it get used to your environment. You don't want to crack a printhead.... P.S. Your a tool Moose. Get off of this forum, we don't need d1cks like you here. Our family is very happy without you. You are a walking advertisement for "Pro...
  14. Scale artwork in Illustrator based on single object

    John, That only works for the "o". I want the rest of the artwork to scale also. Unless I'm misunderstanding your message?
  15. Scale artwork in Illustrator based on single object

    Clipping mask method not working for me...? Tammie, I tried you method, but the objects outside of the clipping mask get selected and they dictate the size of the transformation. (See image) Am I doing something incorrectly?
  16. Scale artwork in Illustrator based on single object

    Damn Tammie! That's a great idea. I typically use the guides method, but it feels dirty and primitive. +1 bazillion for Tammie! Thanks everybody. (Greatest forum in the world!)
  17. Scale artwork in Illustrator based on single object

    Hello Team, How do you scale all of your artwork based on sizing a single item in that artwork. Example: Vehicle wrap with the word "Poop" on it. I know that I want the "o" to be 12"h. How can I enter in that value and have it scale the rest of the artwork accordingly? Seems like...
  18. Sample to color match?

    Simplify it Classic. Gotta love the sign business. I have learned to tell the client that I'll see what I can do (optimistically). Then I would pick a color that is remotely close (sellable) and I would say something to the effect of "here is the color we came up with, does that work for...
