in the billboard world we have hurricane frames (the hurricane wind frame system), and in my shop we often make similar frames for various clients needs. The attached photo is an 8x10 flat built that way for a tv station years ago (and me hamming the camera). easily changeable with a new...

i have a Konica Biz hub and roland soljet and I cant interchange the tools.. I highly doubt that denso will work for you. at very least you could use it for manual entry density readings for linearization, but that wont build a profile. I recommend you contact Correct Color, theyre a merchant...

Can the nozzle be the cause for the problem? YES! about 20% of your cyan head isnt printing..your K is deflecting on a few, and nearly 70% of the yellow channel is gone. No chance of getting anything reliable out of that. What you are showing are blocked heads and deflections. The cmyk...

I've done dye sub. It's the proper way to make that sample you're showing. Sincee they're small you group two dozen or so on a jig, with a single sheet of dye sub transfer over them. Perhaps a minute or two at 320 degrees and you've got 24 pieces. Most desktop printers can handle dye sub inks...

While I don't know the guy, I do know the effect that in-house sign operations like he's describing have on our business. I had a pool supply company go in house for their trade show work. Next thing they were doing their trucks. Okay fine. But then they started giving graphics away to pool...

use 3M 7725. use a new blade. set blade offset properly set a .5mm over cut set blade depth as close to 2.5 mil as possible. for my plotter i use a piece of 2 mil and a loupe. weeding - after cutting and before weeding apply the app tape.. turn graphic over, remove unwanted matrix off of app...

As most have said - the proven way to do this is with two printed layers (per my 3M Scotchprint training over 20 years ago). The first is printed on a clear vinyl layer applied to the acrylic. The second is printed on translucent vinyl and applied over the first. Both prints are at normal...

id caution against chinese units.. unless you are VERY skilled in operating and maintaining these types of machines. As for what youre showing, how about dye sub with heat press? high resolution, low cost, and dang easy. An inexpensive epson with a nice geoknight press could be the way to go...

We've had great success with general formulations floor graphics laminates and films. In Home Depot. With forklifts. And I can't think of a more abusive environment. I once watched a home deep forklift driver turn his wheels on one of our graphics. Surprisingly it lived. At issue is whether...

Windex and similar agents may contain silicones that interfere with adhesion. The last chemical you should use before application is isopropyl alcohol. 70 to 90 percent. Let it dry. Then apply. As for any exposure to pressure washing, hasta la vista to warranty. No coverage. Customer fault...

Polycarbonate manufacturers recommend that structural connections have mechanical fasteners. Adhesives can fail from flexing and solvent welded connections can break. The rivets act to bond the dissimilar metal of the hang rail with the plastic and to reinforce the joint if you use two strips of...

Man you are LITERALLY ASKING FOR THE BASICS WE ALL HAVE PAID $ TO LEARN.. AND YOURE NOT A SIGN COMPANY.. I thought this site was exclusively for sign professionals, and especially not for those outside the trade seeking our knowledge and under cutting our investment in our businesses. I'd...

While I agree that a fuel surcharge in today's fuel prices is just a money grab, I wonder about the big picture. If you're keen to track that expense what about time? At $60 an hour that's 5 minutes of your time. Posting here likely took that much away in addition. Sometimes we only consider...

Harsh words trigger warning - i'll repeat my advice to you from last month.. go to corel. you keep asking how to do things in Ai that are simple processes in Corel. Then the post goes off course on tangents of resolution, Onyx, bad wraps, etc. You remind me of my daughter, she wont learn the...

A spiral upcut downcut bit (compression bit) will give excellent results. the upcut clears the base, the down cut cleans the top edge. match the cut length to your material with a bit over (5/8" for 1/2" gator)...

A leister welder will be much better than that chinese thing.. 20mm seam is common for billboard flex. So it might be your heat and speed settings.. proper welds should tear the coating off the scrim. test each type of material before welding. Yes those welders do stink, but only if you run...

Well heck... Oracal does have 60 inch white listed for 5600 series. Happy joy! If one piece seamless is required, then ask them to get it. If not, then tile it. It won't show.

I'd love a 52" width.. where ya getting that? Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Thank you for the thank you. I was starting to grow tired of some posters on here that immediately go negative and call advice BS. Was about to give up this site. Ya know why help if people are gonna be jerks. But you posted thanks and that reaffirmed that some folks might appreciate what I've...
