The good news is that two out of three suppliers came good. Got the dibond, then the laminate. Then the call of good news bad news. Ink has been despatched, but the vinyl didn't get loaded on the van. £u<k!uG h3ll. Good news is that the supplier is shipping out on a pre 10:30 AM delivery. Bad...

We're looking at modifying the frames to incorporate a disposable coversheet of some decription. In the mean time, working on recreating the prints for Thursday's closing event. I wish I'd been given the ordering go-ahead on thursday - I only got to place materials orders yesterday afternoon...

If I had the facilities, I'd agree. As it is, 400+lb's of ACM, as well as a few rolls of vinyl will be with Monday morning (IF the stars align...). The joys of basement living, without a service lift, and the loading bay out of action... Gonna be a long week! I ran a test, on a test, and yeah...

I know. I'm gonna test, and if test passes, try on one live one. We don't have time available for a complete redo, but just enough time for a patch job, for the big event. Hopefully, in the interim, the troubled soul will be removed from the locale.

Lord save us from halucinating bucket trucks. Oh, hang on, BMW's changable wrap tech, on the face of every building (City Permits permitting...)

Big celebration of the Windrush elders is due in 6 days time, and I can't schedule material deliveries until Monday, which makes production physically beyond my capacity (redoing the work would be 40+ hours, plus instal). I'm thinking of reprinting the vinyl of the portrait only, and...

Good luck. I used to have a really good supplier of cut .080 (2mm) 20 miles from me - cut and deliver filmed 2 face aluminium, next day delivery. They moved 120 miles away to be close to a boat building area. If not too late, might be worth chuckin "oklahoma aluminium boat builder" and making a...

There are cameras on the square*, but I don't think they would stop this person. They might catch the people liberating the bat from the hired shadow stander. The insurance company from the end client, the council (opposite the town hall!) and the police are checking footage, so we may get to...

These were some of the units I used on floor graphics in my print room during those times. This was based on various international ways to keep a safe distance. Bonus for recognising what and where...

That's what I suspected, though was wondering about the protective film that gets applied to train etc windows. I imagine this would not wrap well around the back. The prints are in powder coated free-standing frames, that have not been designed with a retention mechanism for acrylic, and given...

Worked with an American intern recently, who claimed to not get the metric system, so I had to perform plenty of mental arithmetic to accommodate her units of choice. Fortunately, I grew up with photographic paper sizes, which were always stated first in inches, then metric. My achilles heel is...

Finished a (for us) pretty large set of portraits 20x 1000x2000mm portraits - printed, laminated, mounted (wrapped) on 3mm DiBond - that were installed in a local local square, a couple of weeks ago. Last night someone took a utility knife to them all, taking out the eyes. Anyone know of a...

A series is great - a cube A0xA0xA0 of water weighs one metric tonne (1189x841mm=1sqM)

C - I want them A0 M - cool, so 841x1189 C - is that centimetres or inches? I know the space they want to install in, the walls are 3 metres, 120" high. Mucking fuppets

Apply the laminate to one or both, as needed, then measure, and create the media adjustment. Clear may experience more stretch in the lamination than translucent (which I guess wouldn't stretch at all, but if you're going to do the exercise... I find using two rulers as a sort of vernier scale...
