Second surface printed reverse onto cast clear backed with white (printed for illumination if so needed) will do fine for 7+ years if your letters are made on solar grade polycarbonate faces (with UV inhibitors). The polycarb cuts about 80% of the UV for 7 years or so, the adhesive on the clear...

if youre going to get a large format decal printer you'll need to learn a lot more than just Corel or Adobe to produce for other shops. Corel and Adobe are the design platforms, for the art creation. Printing is a whole different thing.. the actual printing function is done through a program...

summa rocks My summa T750 tangential plotter earned over $1.75 million dollars in plotting work during its lifetime (doesnt count grinder print n cut stuff, just vinyl plotting). Do you need any better review? For a $5,000 investment? I used it to make a lot of tight registration inlay vinyl...

if they stuck at first and then failed its likely the paint they're on. common problem with latex paints in any finish other than gloss. http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/346473O/5-37-application-to-walls.pdf

if youre using hanger bars there is no real concern between .150 an .177 thickness, the sign load is on the bar and the face merely hangs free from that. But if youre going with one piece then the hanger bar needs to be metal, not plastic, and riveted in addition to vhb or silicone. its carrying...

Some Nikkalite materials have a top coating that can interfere with many inks. Many Reflective films are coated for graffiti purposes. And the release liner can also impart silicones and oils that adversely affect print quality. Contact nikkalite directly and make sure the material you're using...

Bad or incorrect ICC profile being applied by rip during color conversion. Also can be from improper media selection, intensified by a media that's overly sensitive to those inks. Profile the media properly. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Contact your 3M representative.. they'll need the lot number of the rolls.. that's certainly a surface coating failure. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Of course it all depends on state laws, but taking the sign is a tort of conversion in common law in most states. The signco won't face criminal charges, but civil liability is sure. I've worked with repossessor firms for printing equipment. To repo in California we have to have a written...

standard terms Im not an attorney, but i've know a few... lol.. so I'd suggest you adopt a standard terms of trade for all your clients.. with that, these issues are all pre-planned.. i'd post a copy but it wont help you now and mine cost me $3,000.. with the TOT in place you'll define who's...

the biggest competitor of McDonalds is not a burger shop.. its taco bell.. so i'll make this simple.. if they arent a regular loyal volume client and they serve tacos to your burgers you really dont owe them any break.. if they cant properly compose a file without error, its not your fault. They...

my question- why the double strike? thats usually just for backlit work, and then only for spot color images..

My contact makes this quite clear.. they pay for it. But I'd consider the client history before I bid the replacement. Long term clients that repeat would get an at cost pass, but a competitor would not. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Pointers for color management on Reflective films. 1. Simple Ink limits.. typically these will be very low.. black and cyan will usually run under 45 and magenta and yellow will be around 60. Using a densitometer read the strip from 25 percent and up.. locate where the progression stops being...

I print Reflective almost exclusively. You'll never get good color control unless you know the intricacies of ink limiting. You need a densitometer to get the max density point, then you need to limit each ink. Reflective has so many production variables that color will and does shift roll to...

Chrome film will reflect 100 percent of the light and can overpower the sensor. So setting should be low sensitive not high. For problems like this on my Summa I have pre printed markers on 4 mill white that we stick on right over the markers the machine printed. Works great and we run contour...

Back in the day, a union shop would print their local's bug on every sign made. Many union printers still do. Every shop I worked at required the shop name be on every sign we put out. My customers never balked at it. And it builds market awareness quickly. Several customers forgot where they...

If you're plotters knife offset is properly setup you can zip weed itsy bitsy letters. I bought a $300 US Cutter plotter for a backup. After calibrating the knife and the landing, that el cheapo can cut quarter inch copy and I can zip weed the entire thing in oracal 651 without losing a single...
