3m 7725 is a 2 mil vinyl on a clear synthetic liner, it's not specifically for printing, but as Bob said, it can be done.

Any decent laminate will be fine, we do hospital graphics all the time and use arlon 3420 laminate

Rule #1 don't design anything without a deposit, it makes sure you get paid for your time and has the added benefit of weeding out the cheapskates. When you give away design for free, you are telling the client it has no value, like getting a free poorly fitting shirt in a case of beer.

I put him on ignore, problem solved

I agree honesty is the best policy here, be upfront with them, tell them that when a mistake is caught within x number of days it's much easier to fix because the materials haven't fully cured yet, after that is becomes much more difficult and time consuming. Let them know you will do this one...

I've had good luck with Retack from Drytac, it comes in 3 mil and 6 mil depending on if you want to laminate or not. The adhesive is very aggressive, but it does remove cleanly. My Drytac rep explained that the adhesive never fully sets up so it never becomes permanent...

Do you have a source you can post for these?

Never tell your customer you will do something for "your cost" because it gives them ammunition next time to question your pricing, just tell them you will give them a one time deal. I have a bunch of products that cost me pennies in materials that I sell for $20-30, if I told them I was giving...

Listen to your gut, the few times I've ignored that feeling that something wasn't adding up I got burned.

If you don't have experience with this type of sign work, I would pass on the job, these types of signs have been banned from our area due to liability as it hangs over a sidewalk. you would need to ensure the brackets are sturdy enough to support the sign plus any wind load, do you know how to...

Ahh, ok that makes sense. Take a razor blade scraper over the whole area first to knock off any high points in the drywall finish. I prefer to use a 4" squeegee with a felt buffer for these, but some people have had good luck with a big squeegee, but I've found them to be inconsistent and not...

Why gloss? Gloss will show every single imperfection in the sheetrock, use matte next time. A 4" gold squeegee works great.

yup, open the job in job editor, then save it from there

As a Corel user myself, I still prefer to let onyx handle this, Corel is very inconsistent when opening customer supplied files, lots of times Corel with shift the colours, drop random objects etc, I dont want to worry about trying to find a missing object on a 20' x 8' print. For reprints, you...

With our laminator, it takes about 15 minutes to unload our media, load another roll then get it webbed up properly, then you need to do it again to reload your media. So right off the bat before you run the job you have 30 minutes of shop time, at our shop that's $45, then a full roll of media...

What printer do you run? I've heard horror stories of the HP latex printers having inconsistent panel lengths, but I can count on 1 hand the number of times our panels haven't matched up on our epson over the last 5 years. And most of the times it was user error, mostly overloading the rip PC...

We have a graphtec fc8600 and it works great 95% of the time, on occasion it will just flat out refuse to read the marks, doesn't even ettempt to read them. We had a job where I was cutting 20 identical sheets, 19 were perfect, 1 wouldn't read the marks no matter what I did. We also have a...

It's 100% from China, and probally a reject from a batch they made for someone else

We had this same issue with our vg640, our solution was to buy an epson, the dealer couldn't fix it for more than 24 hours
