Welcome from Canada!

There, fixed it for you.

No. We use Oracal 3651 clear. You might want to look at the specs for that substance vinyl you're using though. If it's high tack or some other special vinyl you may want to try some 3651 or similar to play around with.

Wet app or run it through the laminator. If running lots of shape cut panels, we've made jigs in the past to run them through the laminator.

Can you mask off the brick etc, spray background on-site back to off-white/beige/whatever then just install a shape-cut ACM sign overtop, cut to the red border shape? Maybe use standoffs so when this business gets the boot from the crazy landlord you've got an easy sign swap. Just my $0.02

ONYXtechtips are you guys working on a solution for this?

Where's the fun in that....? :roflmao:

No we haven't found to have a fuzzy look with 3651 clear. You do get a bit of "orange peel" effect on clear areas if you're not backing the whole thing with white vinyl/ink though.

Welcome back! Here is the link to the thread discussing Firesprint's handy pricing calculator: https://www.signs101.com/threads/sign-pricing-calculator-video-tutorials.175097/

Welcome to Signs 101.................... We also have a UCJV and it's great for wall wraps. We generally use 3M 40C and Avery DOL 2080 Matte laminate and that combination has performed well. Regarding the step by step "Easy guide" you're looking for, I'd suggest searching through this forum...

I haven't. I honestly don't experiment much in Illustrator these days, just use the basic features that I can wrap my head around. I'll check it out though, looks like it might do what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Crazy to think that they would expect you to do more work for them when they owe you money and are refusing to pay. Hope you're able to get more of out them. Personally I'd be tempted to take on the job and hold them hostage, but I guess that wouldn't be too professional.........

This looks really useful, but can't seem to find any links on how to get this plugin:

Hey Scott, that would be nice for sure! I'll have another look at e-cut. We had it in the past but on an old computer. I'm more looking for a way of making a 3D rendering to visualize/demonstrate how the signs would look. (related the project we were talking about) Played around with SketchUp...

Can anyone recommend a good option for making ADA/dimensional sign mockups? I don't need any crazy Auto-cad features and don't need take-offs for manufacturing, just simply want to be able to mockup signs w/ some dimension. For example, playing around with multi-layered ADA signs and want to...

Interesting, I'll have to play with this a bit. Does it not understand how to use proper spelling or were you intentionally giving it misspelled words?

Gee, that's pretty specific isn't it?! :roflmao: What if you print your "pastel" or "bright" color on clear vinyl, then back it with metallic silver vinyl? Then cut all your text/logos/whatever in reverse, weed, mask, apply on inside of glass.

What finish/color/look is your client looking for, specifically? Lots of mylar/polyester/metallic films have the same finish on adhesive side, just depends what you're looking for and how wide of a roll you need to use.

What kind of flatbed printer are you using? I'm surprised it doesn't have enough vacuum power to hold down a sheet of coroplast. I don't know that a heat gun will help here. Usually all you need is a bit of pressure/weight on the ends if a sheet is warped - as soon as it seals the vacuum will...

Hey Kayle, welcome from Winnipeg! You guys have any snow left over there? Disappearing fast here, which is super weird for Jan/Feb in Winterpeg. Out of curiosity, what does it mean to be a 3M Silver Select shop? I've never heard that terminology before.
