Sorry I tossed the paperwork, pretty sure it already happened though.

High pressure laminate signage is designed for that type of use with a 10 - 15 year warranty. I've used them for girl scouts trails signage, as well as exterior directories for amusement parks, exterior museum art, and related. Porcelain panels I've used in Boston for mbta maps, also extremely...

I received paperwork in the mail for their equipment auction and notice of closing.

Yes you can make frost by printing clear vinyl. 10% White and 20% black is pretty close to the standard frost color. To those who asked why, the advantages are unlimited opacity and design customization, like fade outs, and it's easier to remove later on. It's basically the same thing as the 3M...

The first wrap I did about 15 years ago we solvent printed 3M and laminated immediately to save time. It looked good going on but about 6 months later it came back with all the laminate separating, cracking, and looking like orange peel paint clear coat. That wasn't the worst thing though, it...

That's your opinion, do you have any useful alternatives vs negativity?

If the client can't supply the correct file I would just use vectormagic, it does an amazing job of making vector art from almost anything (including many colors) as long as the quality is somewhat decent to start with. Super quick, shows you end result, allows you to modify in real time, etc...

Like everyone else said above, use high performance, intermediate vinyls are poured and stretched so they always want to shrink back to their original size. About a year from now you will see a visible adhesive outline around the letters where the vinyl has shrunk and that outline will collect...
