  1. Wrapping? A Metal Box 4x8

    I'm not sure what you were going to use that is 48". Wrapping films for printing generally come 54" wide. The non-printable wrapping films come 60" wide. Since your box is 48" you'll find it much easier to have the 60" material. Pull back just a few inches or a foot of the backing paper, stick...
  2. Wrapping? A Metal Box 4x8

    Don't use the wrap film that's meant for printing. Unless you laminate it first it is too thin and floppy. You'll go crazy trying to handle it. Use the color change wrap film like 3M 1080.
  3. Opinion 3D Printed Channel Letters

    sure, but the ACP's polyethylene isn't really exposed to UV light, being sandwiched in aluminum.
  4. Opinion 3D Printed Channel Letters

    The Bambu X1C can to 10"x10"x10". That's pretty limiting for channel letters. I have three channel letter jobs in the mill right now. None of them could be completed with that size limitation. The machines being touted in Europe for making channel letters are much, much larger.
  5. Opinion 3D Printed Channel Letters

    Yes, we use polycarbonate quite frequently, and it's one of the most disappointing substrates we use in terms of UV reaction. Dingy yellow sign faces abound. I'm not sure I've ever used polyethylene in a sign.
  6. PCBs for signmakers

    By custom PCB do you mean a PCB cut into the shape of the letter?
  7. The time has come: bigger machines, now need wider tables :(

    We have always used 3/4" MDF to make our tables. It comes 49"x97" but we rip an 11"x97" and put the two side by side to make the tabletop 60"x97". We tried self healing mats but abandoned that and just use 3mm expanded PVC to make the top surface. Cut it in pieces 48"x60" and use banner tape to...
  8. Opinion 3D Printed Channel Letters

    I did a little research on this. There's a company that it looks like is in Germany pushing this using printers being made or marketed by a company in the Netherlands. They are touting speed, efficiency, and being able to reproduce fonts. But when you try to look deeper what you find is that the...

    Looks like Fira Sans Condensed Semibold. It's a free Google font.
  11. Cleaning windows with window perf

    You don't need to laminate store window perf. You have to laminate vehicle window perf. Not just to protect from car washes but also to retain outward visibility in the rain.
  12. Cleaning windows with window perf

    Not very often. Our sign ordinance is very disfavorable towards storefront window wraps. The square footage counts against the business's total signage area.
  13. Cleaning windows with window perf

    If it's on the building then the vinyl isn't laminated. It's probably just oily residue on the glass in the holes. Soft window washer's brush and lots of soapy water. Hose to rinse.
  14. Cleaning windows with window perf

    Why would anyone spray pesticides on their car? It's likely they'd damage the paintwork as well.
  15. Cleaning windows with window perf

    It's possible that the pesticide had a solvent in it which has permanently damaged the formerly optically clear laminate you used. In that case no amount of cleaning will ever clear it up.
  16. Question Epson S Series Service - 0000200

    The way Epson service works is they overnight all the parts that they think they might need to do the repair so you have them on hand before the tech shows up. He will replace anything that needs replacing and the unused parts he returns to Epson.
  17. Vehicle window graphics - Thin horizontal sections? Any info on this process?

    Run it through the plotter and weed.

  19. Needing a cutting strip

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/305332132900 You will not find them at nowhere. You will find them at any Graphtec dealer. Or ebay. It's the same strip for all sizes. You just cut it shorter with scissors to fit the shorter plotters.
