If you're printing on 3M vinyl, you might want to ask your 3M rep about using 3M Primer 94 as a surface prep for these.

I'd be at an hour and fifteen minutes, maybe an hour and a half at the very most, including prep time.

We use our Mimaki CJV series eco-solvent printer to print on metallic vinyl on a semi-regular basis. Orafol 970 silver lake metallic and 3M 2080 gloss white aluminum work very well and produce similar results. We laminate with standard gloss laminate. We also print on Griff metalized polyester...

Who said anything about Alupanel?

Yeah, the 3M product bulletin does state that IJ175's removability characteristics aren't all that. I'm really going to have to think this over. We can get IJ180 in 25 yard rolls, if and when Fellers has it back in stock, so it may come down to carrying both options and using IJ175 strictly for...

We produce a lot of outdoor signs and some print and cut vehicle decals, but not wraps. We want to move away from Orajet 3951RA and move into 3M IJ175 or IJ180. This material will be used for mostly (70-80% of the time) long-term outdoor signage, such as aluminum panels. The IJ175 comes in...

Is nobody using Photo-Tex for these applications anymore? We have a wall wrap job coming up and we were planning on using Photo-Tex over traditional vinyl media. Can vinyl products like IJ-40 be removed and repositioned? That's the main thing that is leading us to use Photo-Tex. In theory, it...

Thanks for the replies. We've reached out to Firesprint since we've worked with them many times in the past.

We're looking for a wholesale trade printer that does two-sided pole banners with full-bleed images. We currently use Signs365 and while they can do white or solid colors on the pockets, they cannot do full-bleed graphics. Can anyone refer us to a company that can print them with full-bleed...

Yeah, that will probably work, I just wanted it to sit flush against the fixture and not leave a gap, but we actually do have some thinner VHB tape that is closer to 1/32" thick. I'm probably overthinking it and will go with the VHB as long as it will still slide in behind that stainless piece.

This had occured to me, but I wasn't sure if foam PVC would melt, unlike rigid PVC pipe. I may have to try it, though.

I have a customer that is looking to have us replace some foam PVC signage for a motel that they are in the process of fixing up. The Motel 6 sign is 1/8" PVC mounted onto a solid, flat surface, which is the fixture that you can see a portion of in the photo. It appears the original Motel 6 sign...

3M 7125 Scotchcal. I'm not a fan, but it is what it is. The finish isn't nearly as glossy as Oracal.

We switched from Orajet 3951RA 30" rolls over to 3751RA 30" rolls but everything else media-wise has been available, at least in limited quantities. Cut vinyl seems to be the real obstacle. Some colors are just impossible to find. Even Oracal 751 black was out of stock everywhere about a month...

I'm not sure if this is an outline font, or if the outline was added but I'm striking out left and right trying to identify it. Does anyone know what this font might be? Thanks for any help.
