Bump

Sorry, I should have been clearer. Picture is of several rolls of media, all have "lines" that go horizontal as you look at the picture. They are probably a little difficult to see. We are using an HP 280 latex printer.

We have used Dreamscape Suede wallcovering for years here, having done a number of jobs with it. I have a love-hate relationship with the material. It often has this stripe-y appearance to it (see attached pic). This sometimes translates into the print, causing color bands. Since switching...

I know this is an old thread....but brushed finish Alupanel is NOT for exterior use, nor any aluminum composite material that I know of. See note at bottom here: http://www.multipaneluk.com/products/sign-materials/alupanel/ Where can outdoor durable brushed aluminum sheets be purchased? Gemini...

We have been doing more fabric printing in-house lately. I'm selective on what we do in-house though. One of the big sticklers with fabric printing is the finishing. It's a whole new ball of wax from vinyl banners. I've never been fond of outsourcing finishing. Some 3rd party who couldn't...

We use Onyx RIP, and for Pantone colors it does not matter how the color is set up. It looks for the Pantone name and replaces the color with info from a table. Your RIP may work differently. Using book color is good practice, as that will look most accurately on screen.

We have had 2 different manufacturers of UV printers, and 3 different ink types. On all 3 inks, pretreatment with chemical makes night and day difference for ink adhesion when printing coro. With our current setup coro is the only material that still requires pretreatment. I would venture to...

Key is determining the realistic life of the equipment. We generally do 5 years for digital print equipment, 7 years for plotters and cutters. I think 7 years is the max. Then we split the purchase price evenly among the years. I would advise consulting with an accountant.

Paula - we print onto canvas wallcovering, then apply to box with wallpaper paste.

Looking for a source for extended radius posts - see attachment. These come from Charleston Industries. I'm looking for a lesser expensive source that doesn't have the notches, etc. 3x3 or 4x4 size.

We have owned a variety of digital printing equipment over the years. I agree that all machines will have issues, and that it is all about the support and help you get through those problems. In the flatbed arena, we have owned a Fujifilm and an Oce machine. Night and day experiences. Buy...

I would recommend a high-tack vinyl, like Oracal 3951HT.

We are in the process of setting up pricing, etc in signvox. We currently use cyrious control. Just curious for any feedback of cyrious users who made the switch and what challenges there were. We really like what we see so far, signvox is much more progressive and user-friendly. Just a...

Grimco sells a 10mil clear polycarb that is not too expensive. You may try Lexjet too.

Try Grimco - pretty sure they sell 18" Stop signs, so I'm sure you can get just blank aluminum.

I know this material comes in 4'x8' and 4'x10' .040" thickness sheets, but I need something more rigid than 040. I would prefer to not "laminate" it to a backer, I fear that invites trouble down the road. Dibond comes with this finish, but it is good for interior use only. Any suggestions?
