I wasn't referencing laminating tiny sections. I was referencing laminating an entire roll. If I'm laminating a small chunk I'll cut out to the size, or use scrap. When you web up a full roll, you need the small bit over to assure that you cover the print, and that you have correct nip pressure...

@Johnny Best You're correct in that there's a lot of vhb tapes and adhesives.. many have no bearing in the sign trade.. Which ones do you use?...you seem versed in them .. We use either 468MP or 9473 over 3M 7725, and my 3M adhesives rep and RS Hughes have said that's a combo that matches the...

Proper laminating procedure for all machines is for laminate to be either the same size, or larger (by a fraction) than the base. This allows the proper balance of nip pressure across the web and that reduces opportunities for air or dirt ingress, wake wrinkles, or tension related interactions...

3M cast vinyl, 3M vhb and 3M mounting films have the same adhesive.. just different thicknesses. If its got a questionable paint, we either repaint the wall, or use traditional stud mount. Having done hundreds this way i've never had a failure. But I'm sure putting a 3.5 mil calendered crap in...

looks like a nice opportunity to upsell to a sandblasted sign or dimensional letters on a boxed panel... make a profitable job out of it.. Hope you arent leaving $ on the table on purpose with that 6mm maxmetal..

If you cover the PVC with app tape before you route it, put it face down on the router and mirror cut just to the tape not thru, it's ready to go. Exception being the second color..

The drywall should at least be sealed so you don't damage it at removal. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

I quit using patterns years back on small stuff that isn't offset from the wall.. Now I cut the logo in color in cast vinyl. Apply to wall or sign. Use vhb to apply CNC letters over it. Better positioning, nice look, no mess, saves a ton of labor. Also creates a more aggressive bond to wall...

media advance/paper advance/etc should be in the manual and should be under your media settings in your rip.. rip settings will override any printer setting. Advance depends on the machine you're using. In most rips theres an advancement or feed setting that fine tunes the steps forward to...

Make the seller demo that it does everything you're expecting. Take a magnifying glass and look at the head test print. Look for any missing or deflected lines. Those indicate plugged ports or dirt. Make sure you're getting any miscellaneous tools, parts and manuals it shipped with. Also get...

I mentioned staying in RGB because some drum scanners I've known opt to convert the image to cmyk common to old school pre-press. Many of these machines are older tech. I've owned two different models of drum scanner, one was dedicated by its internal system to produce CMYK files. The other...

You might check your rip. Some of them have the calibration setting included in the media profile. If so it overrides the printers setting. Those colors are a bit challenging on some machines. Just as a test, see if the bidirectional test is outta whack. It shouldn't apply to that axis, but it...

best target resolution for viewing at 1 foot is 100 ppi for human vision, but you can bump to 150 and go for overkill.. so your output target is 8,500x6,800px @100ppi, or 12,750x10,200px @150 ppi. after 150 ppi its silly.. no one will see that definition. Had a hospital do same thing to me...

the media advance calibration of the printer is slightly off. calibrate it. thickness of materials affects advancement. use a 10x loupe to see the calibration test. dont rely on your eyes. if calibrated dead on, and still doing it, you may want to switch to a higher output resolution, some...
