4x8 custom printed coroplast sign
- Thread starter RPD
- Start date
I have a vinyl printer not a UV printer. I've attempted to do a 4x8 in the past with no success using a large squeegee. I don't have a set up like a rollsroller. I usually get a call for 3 or 4 signs this size a year and have used a local company but I'm getting charged full retail for them.
I'm relatively new to the sign business and pretty much only print 24x18 yard signs or 24x36 signs for A frame stands.
Thanks.

Then, you need to learn how to do it. A 4' x 8' panel can be put down by one person in 3 or 4 minutes with the right tools.
With a big squeegee, you can do it in 3 or 4 minutes. With a fat squeegee, you can do it in under 10 minutes. You don't need any fancy expensive tools.
Somewhere on this site texsigns demonstrated using a fat squeegee and how easy it is. The big squeegee is easier yet and the learning curve is about 5 minutes.

mount that puppy just like you would a 24x18 sign.

Do you have a laminator? I still don't get how anyone on this business can own a solvent printer but not a laminator.... Unless they only print banners or textiles.
If you don't have one,.it's time to buy one! You'll stop producing garbage products and it'll take you 1 min to mount a 4x8

Drytac sells a mounter that can also do lamination for a fraction of the cost of a full on laminator. It laminates just fine, but I use it to do 4x8 boards all the time. Hinge it in the middle and do two halves. 5 min. max.

one of our clients just does soapy water mounts for their coroplast sheets all the time and she does full 4x8' panels. You might want to use rapid-tack or something though as it seems to dry faster and wait a while before it leaves your shop so it's fully dry. Or swap to air release vinyl and with some practice you can quickly squeegee it on.

I haven't heard the term "chat room" in 20 years.

I was wondering where they were. I haven't seen any here... Except maybe a member's "front porch", the profile post thing. I'm not cool enough to access the "back room"
