Maybe people should grow a little thicker skin? I haven't been offended by anything anyone here says. I just read and listen and glean bits of information here and there that may help me later. I use this forum as a place to gain and share knowledge. If I really want to be offended I can...

I have experience with a ULS 60 laser cutter (Universal Laser Systems, 60 Watt), if I can answer any questions about how those work I'd be happy to.

I wish you all the success in the world, Buzzgraphics! I almost wrote 'Luck' there but luck won't have anything to do with it. I recently parted ways with a friend and employer after 34 years, he has given up on the fine art print market and is retooling as a sign shop. I still believe there...

We have never laminated pop-up banners either. I am not sure why you would want to laminate them unless you have scratching issues? What machine are you printing these on? What kind of ink? Is it the same printer and ink as what you used to use? When the laminate comes off is the ink coming...

If you go with ACM be aware that different brands use different thicknesses of aluminum on the faces (and some manufacturers have more than one 'grade' of ACM available). We use ACM for some of our graphics and we cut it with a Zund router bit, and some of the thicker versions of the aluminum...

I have used a matte spray to fix things like this before, getting it to match nicely to the other version of matte is really tough though, and I would recommend testing it on a hidden spot to make sure it doesn't eat the vinyl.
