Humidity has never been a problem before. We've only had this roll here a couple weeks and I keep rolls standing on a plastic endcap and covered with the plastic bag they are shipped with. All of our other rolls of Orafol media that are much older are just fine as are our cut vinyl rolls. I...

I ordered a 54" roll of 3951RA a couple weeks ago. I printed off a 4 x 8 print and noticed the edges were really wavy. The material was basically warped down both edges. I then tried to laminate it a few days later (today) and the material just bunched up under the 290 laminate. So I printed...

I'm so glad that we only sell signs and don't offer permitting and installation services, with a few exceptions and aside from vehicle, wall, window, etc. lettering/graphics. We leave permitting up to the customer on larger projects. We're out in the sticks, so most towns are population 500-3000...

I always set up registration and DOT numbers based on the cap height of the letters, not the height of letters with ascenders and descenders. That way you always meet the minimum required height. This also sounds to me like an excuse for a free replacement.

Remember, well balanced, normal people, respect others. ;) So much irony in this comment.

Looks like BD Engraved Regular.

The answer requires too many unspecified variables. Are they cast or calendered? Laminated or unlaminated? Kiss cut or die cut/half cut? When you're getting orders for more than two or three hundred decals, it's often times best to outsource and have more time to focus on more critical jobs...

I've had the same experience with our Mimaki CJV 150-160. We usually do a three week holiday shut down around Christmas and New Year's day. With the last of our scheduled print jobs printed days before shut down and new jobs not going into production until perhaps a few days after reopening, our...

My layout is set around the 1950's and I'm running all steam locomotives although that may change at some point.

I'll be working on my N scale layout at home as well. :) Happy model railroading!

Oracal HT 55 transfer tape is a great alternative.

I would use registration marks in at least two corners if not all four corners of each layer and then use a light table to align them. Tape the masked layer with a hinge and squeegee it over the bottom layer which should be firmly held to the light table with tape in all four corners.

That's a little touchy. On one hand, you want nice print quality, but on the other hand, you don't want your paper to warp. I don't know how your paper is, but with the Sihl TriSolv paper that we use, we get some warping if the paper hangs out over the heater too long, so I usually run somewhere...

We use a Mimaki generic PVC profile on our Sihl papers and they print just fine, although we really don't do much that is color critical.

In our case, we've never owned a traditional laminator and we do everything with the RollsRoller. You really only need about 4 inches of extra material at the end of your print to apply laminate so there's not much waste and it's fast and easy. But mounting prints is so insanely easy and that's...

This is correct. This is what I thought but I see a lot of it in existing sign frames and of course that drove my curiosity. I wasn't aware of the wavy appearance though, so that's good to know.

I wouldn't use 3mm in this case. It's a sign for a baseball diamond without a lot of surrounding trees or buildings so it's what I would definitely call a potential high wind area.

We've got a project coming up for a 4' x 8' double-sided sign. We are just quoting to make the sign and the client in this case, a local municipality, is building their own frame from 6" x 6" posts with 4" x 4" horizontal stringers. They plan on cutting a 1/4" notch 1" deep into the top and...

I only use Fellers to buy 1080 and 970RA by the yard because as far as I know they are the only distributor that sells color-change wrap vinyl by the yard. I've always considered their pricing to be higher than most and to top it off, I met a company rep at the NBM show a few years ago who was a...
