Not to mention aluminum is one of the hardest metals to weld. .040 will be a nightmare and I would look for other options.

You can try Signlab. I think they have a cut versions for around $500. Their icons are really sophomoric. https://www.hhsignsupply.com/productcart/pc/SignLab-10-c613.htm

I would paint the whole thing black first and wait 4 weeks for it to fully cure. If it's not fully cured, the paint will fuse with the vinyl. Black is the most forgiving vehicle color to wrap and you don't have to do the jambs. Bad cuts won't look as bad either. Who knows what you've seen on...

16 passes will lay the ink down in smaller more precise droplets (1200 dpi). Laying 1/16 of the ink total on each pass. Some profiles will add a small percentage more ink but you have considerably more drying time. A 4 pass print lays 25% ink on each pass, flooding the vinyl with solvents and...

100K isn't a very rich black. Try 30 30 10 100 and up the passes to 16 and you won't have any problems. If your waiting 60 before it cuts, what does it matter how long it takes to print? By going from 4 to 16 passes you get crisper prints and it will be on the heaters 4 times longer. If time is...

Most of the time you should pick for the customer, otherwise, you end up with Times on a coro sign. For occasional use with walk-ins and quick jobs make a large banner with 20 to 50 fonts divided into sections by style and let them pick from that. Looking through 1000's fonts will just waste...

I have used the vivid version. It worked well and no complaints but getting has been a problem for us in the states.

Just so you know, the ink can't really outgas on the takeup real. The solvents just soak into the vinyl, adhesive, and liner. If You're waiting 60 min, why not take it off, unroll it, and let it dry properly overnight. The vinyl will be less gummy, cut and weed better the next day, and you will...

A lot of Di NOC installers really love Belbien. https://belbienusa.com/finishes/

I was under the impression that they wouldn't take the liner for recycling because of the plastics and coatings on the different papers?

PVC gives off dangerous fumes in a fire, that's typically why hospitals won't let it in the door. They still let you use acrylic in the ADA signs though... go figure?

Probably a combination of several things: Too much ink: Black isn't just K, it is a combination of CMY and K. If your profiles ink limits are too high you could technically print 100% of each ink. Most stock profiles will limit it in the 280% range. A good all-around Black is 60C 30Y 60M 100K...

Script example:

Yes, visually they need to extend to appear the same size. A flat character has a lot of weight at the top and bottom, if the round character doesn't go above and or below, it will appear smaller. Same thing with kerning pairs. T's A's and round characters are spaced closer together for the same...

Just found an export glitch in Corel Draw 2020 while changing the size of a file while exporting a jpg. This is how it was supposed to look

My guess is that this is a 3 digit number. As others have said all fonts heights are measured by an uppercase letter with a flat top and bottom. Round characters go above and below the flat characters and "1" and "4" often go above resulting in additional height. He is being nit-picky because...

Metallics tend to be directional. Before you replace it, I would give it a few days or maybe a week to let the adhesive wet out. The color may change as the adhesive flows out. Also is this from the same roll/batch. they can vary from roll to roll and batch to batch.

I know 3M makes a vinyl specifically for stainless steel (tankers) and other manufactures probably do as well. All cast vinyl will work well until you try and remove the graphics. It's a nightmare, that's why they produce an adhesive specifically formulated for stainless steel...

All the RV's I have seen looked to be custom screen printed vinyl. Just assumed. 180mC cut vinyl has a pretty limited selection of colors. if you are trying to match existing colors, Try 3M 2080 or 1080 (1080 has limited stock) for color matches. When in doubt, call the RV manufacture and see...
