This right here^^^^^^ An absolute rabbit hole. Three things are needed to see color: An object, a light source and an observer. The first two are easy to control, the last not so much. You can get a dead match in your shop, send it to the client and they say it looks like crap. Only way to...

What about building some? Could use 80/20 extrusions covered with aluminum deck planks.

Do a Google search in your area for plasma, laser, or waterjet cutting. All three types of cutting will do the job.

Check your local auto body supply store. I've been using CarWorx.

I used to sub that stuff out. All work done second surface and will probably last longer than the business. Subs will have the polycarb on huge rolls and a paint shop.;)

I wanted to make a frame but the client wanted the sign tucked under the rail for protection. There's always next time.

Jetflex 13oz matte. Been using it for years with no issues. We use it in the print lab too.

That printer is a perfect candidate for the inside of a dumpster. Best way to get into printing is to concentrate on designing then sub out the work. You'll find out in a fast minute if you will be sustainable and can turn a profit.

Too cool. When I was starting out I had many conversations with Superfrog. Always helpful.

since you're in Wisconsin try SI Metals they usually have powder coated stock car aluminum on the shelf. Installation: I installed ACM panels on a dump trailer but I spanned the ribs with angle iron, which gave me a perfectly flat mounting surface. To attach I put down a bead of Lexel then...

Giblet. Mmm mmmm good.

Eizo. Baller right there. Not gonna lie they're a nice bit of kit.

Simple Google search for enamel receptive vinyl turned up Avery, Gerber and FDC. Glad I could help.

I'm still very confused by the lack of support for the 1641. Doesn't make sense, but that seems to be the new standard.

Spend the coin and get a good IPS panel. If you want to know how good look at an iMac with a 5K display then judge your purchase against that. If you're like me you spend a lot of time in front of a screen. This isn't the time to skimp. Your eyes will thank you. I walk in both the PC and...

Fair enough. I am quite curious on the how well the plotter will track. Would also like to know how the printer performs. Please give updates.

Before the advent of digital printing I used to airbrush effects on cast vinyl. For simple fades Krylon was the go to(thanks Butch) but I think the formula has changed. All the other work was done with automotive paint and clear. I made some really trick looking vinyl with House of Kolor...

I'd go with a Summa or Graphtec plotter. Somewhere on the forum a long time ago I did the math for the new Roland plotters. Can't remember the exact mount of drift, but it wasn't anything you'd be happy with. I haven't run one of the latest Roland plotters but there's a reason why 99.9% of...

What printer, inks, media and profiles?
