We use Grimco's Briteline for the majority of jobs, never had any issues with the stuff.

Yea it's calendered.

Was looking at it as well, doesn't look like it has any effect when it gets hotter according to their specs. Application temp just has to be above -6c (21f). Service temp goes up to 80c. I'm guessing the adhesive will have a high initial tack in warmer temps. We seem to have been using more...

We would use the 180 kit. Mainly cuz we mostly use 3M stuff. However a decal holding for 5 years that you have no control over the install of, I would be wary.

From Avery: SW900 Series is designed as a wrap film. Cutting for the purpose of preparing sizes or shapes has proven to be feasible. However, signcutting of letters and graphics is not recommended.

We've had prints with the same file and media shift colour the same day because of conditions. Colour matching is a pain, and if you're rerunning say 1 panel of a mural, it's often less hassle just to rerun the whole thing. Sometimes it's fine though, not a perfect science. I've had to play...

Are you getting the same results on different medias? We have a 360 but I recall having issues with banding on reflective with certain colours. I ended up just upping the passes which fixed the issue or made it not nearly as noticeable, but that may change your colour. Grays and browns were the...

We would use Drytac SpotOn. Been working well for us for many temporary/reusable applications. I've never been a huge fan of window cling products, maybe I just haven't found a good one yet.

We've used Endura C2S 18pt in the past. It's pretty thick and front is more glossy than the back but it runs well on our 360.

Standard is 3mm, but you can get thicker if you need. I had to cut some curves in 6mm with a jigsaw and you just have to clean up the edges with sandpaper after.

Aluminum composite, very common and good material for signs. It can be cut with a jigsaw but you'll get a better cut with a skill saw. Panel saw is the best way to cut it.

Do you happen to know why they do that? Is there some issue with the old system or just a case of HP being HP?

The little black ones where the media comes out to the print area? You just push the silver bar on the side away from the roller you're taking out, the roller away from the bar and they pop right out. That's if they're the same on 5xx as 3xx which I'm pretty sure they are.

Yea those little Cricut machines are specifically marketed to that kind of craft/hobby crowd. They make specialty materials that, from what I can tell, will only work (I'm guessing "fit" is the better word) in their machines. Different world I guess, not for the type of volume a graphtec would...

Vector frames from Orbus?

Safety margin will differ based on their capabilities, 1/8" is standard. At 1/16" they're confident in their production equipment or they run on a press.

That How To section is just for information about the Signs101 site. It's a read only forum. Most questions get posted in the General Signmaking Topics unless they're specific.

1/8" safety margin is common practice for business cards, they're often done on colour copiers for shorter runs which are prone to bounce. Safety margin is so nothing gets cut off when they cut stacks. Your other service may have adjusted or just didn't care and ran whatever was given without...

Just across the border in the same climate, my guess is it's the size and the materials used for newer vehicles. We're seeing more and more over the years people just shy away from magnets for vehicles because they want something large or have concerns with the magnets falling off. We've never...

I always thought B-Free was supposed to be installed dry. We use Avery with Rapic Tac and never had an issue.
