Here is a image of a double cut. Just Google "wallpaper double cut". We use this because it looks better than overlaps. The overlaps tend to leave dark stripes.
My windows XP motherboard just went out. I use the Onyx signez program that came with my HP8000. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck installing this into windows 7. When I try to install I get a message ''You have to run the 64 bit version of DPInst.exe on this machine". Help...:banghead:
Maybe Arlon DPF 2400. We tried some and it worked pretty good. We try to stick with 3M on reflective as well. Check it out on youtube.com, close to wrapping vinyl but reflective.
Cut like wallpaper. If you just overlap, it leaves a dark stripe where it is lapped. As far as pricing goes, we try to stick to the sqft. pricing. Maybe add a little more for a curved wall.
Phototex is very easy to apply. Just make sure to cut seams cleanly or it will run. The wall was painted by the museum with an eggshell paint. We gave them samples and they picked the EXS version over the standard Phototex.
The first curve was a little trouble for lining up the first two pieces. After that it wasn't enough to cause a problem. It was printed in 12 52''wide vertical pieces on a hp8000. No liquid laminate was used.
The EXS is just a higher tack version for the solvent printer. It is not any more...
This is a recent job we did for the Mariners' Museum. The wall was 14' tall and 50' long and had a slight s-curve to it. We used the Phototex exs on this job. It was the first time using the exs and it worked very good.
I recently had this happen. After lam. I cut the prints out the next day. Weeded the prints and in some places it was like the lam. pulled the surface of the reflective off the glue leaving the glue on the liner. Didn't damage prints so I just kept going. Thought it was strange then I saw this...
I have used Brightboy blocks in the past to clean stainless. Just rub in the grain direction. They come in different sizes but I like the eraser size for hand work. Usually a few rubs and its done.
