    I'm new in the industry (started June 2023) and most of my clients have been Realtors since I come from the real estate industry. (I wasn't a Realtor).

  2. Squeegee Streaks on Overlam printed Vinyl

    I’ve noticed these streaks on the print when I use the squeegee to mount the vinyl onto the ACM. I believe it’s just from the extra pressure onto the Overlam. It almost looks as if it gets rid of the “silvering” where I squeegee. Is that what’s happening here? Does this go away or does it stay...
  3. MDO Panels - Primed vs Painted?

    I'm making my first MDO sign panel for a realtor. I'm planning on mounting printed vinyl on one side for the graphic. Do I need to paint an MDO panel to mount the vinyl to it?

  5. Looking for Reflective Vinyl Recommendation for Real Estate Signage

    Hi! I'm looking for a printable reflective vinyl for real estate signs. I was looking at the Orafol 5600, and I realized Reflective Vinyl is WAY more expensive than regular vinyl.

  6. Grey Adhesive vs Clear Adhesive.. why use one over the other?

    I'm looking at ordering some basic Orafol 3640 Vinyl. I see the 3641 and the only difference is the Grey adhesive. Is there a difference? I'm assuming the brightness of the white might be slightly affected. But is there a reason why one would prefer the grey over the clear? Is the grey better...

  9. Is it possible to cover up hole in Aluminum real estate sign?

    Hi! I made some real estate signs for a Realtor and realized I drilled the holes in the wrong area. :eek: I was supposed to make the holes 4 inches from the edge and I made them 1 inch instead. I can drill the new holes 4 inches away, but is there any way to coverup the previous ones I made by...
  10. White Spots in black prints

    Hey Everyone! I’m having some trouble when I’m printing heavy ink prints such as an ALL black background. I notice a lot of white spots, they almost look like they’re glowing or fading on the print. It’s almost like little white “orbs” on my all black prints. Some spots I can tell are because of...
