We don't use All Graphics, but if this GB works then that would be pretty great with that price point. I may have to set up an account with them. I wonder if anyone here can speak to this stuff on latex. Edit: just realized that's what Canuck recommended, I think I'll just have to take the...

I've done one with white vinyl on a mirror, had to thicken all the text a bit before cutting but wasn't bad, took about 3 hours start to finish. We charged for the time but I would charge double for the next one.

In my experience it varies quite a bit with the stuff, I don't trust any rolls older than 6 months but sometimes it works. Usually single sided stuff is fine but the second side doesn't run properly.

We typically use the 38" and the 63", but I have not noticed a difference in those terms. The main difference I've seen between the sizes is that the larger rolls tend to cause more problems when we're printing the entire roll in one go. We did have a roll sitting here for around 6 months and...

We've had issues with TVF banners that were older. Seems like the shelf life is quite short when it comes to latex. We tried to use older rolls that have been sitting around the shop for a while and have the same problems. Also had the problem with a couple rolls we printed on right after we got...

You need a rich black to stop the light, we do most of our backlit on white acrylic with clear vinyl. I usually do 40/30/30/100 @20 pass.

We've had similar problems with a couple of wholesalers, one is the most notorious and we're on the verge of moving a lot of our work we send them elsewhere. It seems there is little quality control on their end, we often end up having to get in contact with them to fix/rerun orders which they...

We have a sales guy who deals with a lot of construction companies and he brings stuff like this from time to time. They have a conversation about what they want and at times it's nonsense. For simple things we give them two proofs, one the way they discussed and one the way the designer...

We run lots of double sided banner on our 360, tolerances aren't great unless you're doing small runs, but they're within reason for things like street banners and pole banners. It doesn't always line up side to side and on a 6 foot pole banner it's usually out about a quarter inch vertically. I...

You're supposed to lock the carriage on the 360 which is very similar, so I would think the same is true on the 26500. Though I know people have moved them without doing it and everything was fine.

You'll have to look at the GSM, the poster paper we use is 8mil and 231 GSM. 100lb cover is about 270 GSM. So maybe around 10mil? Not sure what the equivalent is for large format, we throw this kind of stuff on the copier.

We got one too, just deleted it. What's odd is the URL, when I looked it up it was still available to buy.

I always prefer a cool grey, black with a touch of cyan. A lot of times we get files that were converted from RGB where all the values for the grey are all over the place, those always end up looking the worst. Also printing neutral greys is really tricky, going either warm or cool helps with...

Maybe it was a sealer, I'll have to ask the guys next time. These are usually for new restaurants opening up and it looks like primer based on where they stopped painting but I could be wrong.

I had a similar conversation with our rep, he basically pointed me to that document and said there really are no guarantees. So whenever a customer asks us for recommendations, we tell them basically the same thing and always do a wall test. The best results I've had consistently was avoiding...

http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/346473O/5-37-application-to-walls.pdf Page 8 has 3M recommendations. Basically boils down to they recommend Kilz brand primer and a semi-gloss paint with no anti graffiti additives. "Laboratory tests using Pittsburgh Paints and SherwinWilliams Paints have...

Wow, wonder what BMW paid for that paint job with that kind of cost.

This stuff is pretty damn cool, absorbs like 99.9% light and made with carbon nanotubes. They made it into a sprayable paint, I wonder if 3M and friends have been in talks with them to one day bring it to the vinyl world. I could only imagine the cost though...

You can just add "filetype: pdf" after your search in the standard search bar. IE: Company Name filetype: pdf Edit: without the space between the : and the p, the forum turns it into a smiley.

In the arena we do work in, they lay plywood under where the lift is going to spread out the weight and not damage the court.
