I only buy directly from Corel.

I know some of you are hardcore UV direct print users and some are hardcore printed vinyl users, but let's have an honest discussion about the pros and cons of both. What are the pros and cons of UV inks and UV direct print? What are the pros and cons of solvent inks on vinyl?

Yes look for a local metal shop, fabrication shop, machine shop, welding shop, etc.

Think about it this way. If you post a remax template, you are only selling to remax agents. They will only buy that from you. You won't see a Real Estate III agent buying a remax sign.

Looks like a bunch of junk. Nothing more than a AC Moore or Michaels, even Jo Anns. I wouldn't use them.

You don't need a template or certificate. Your proof and invoice is your contract. Simply put in the footer of your invoice that once the sign leaves the shop, it's no longer under warranty. If it's something you installed, you could say "All installed sign has a 30 day warranty" or even "Once...

Which is how it should be in most applications. However the OP said they are getting rid of it in a few years. 651 is a 6 year vinyl, so it's more than enough. There are no curves or wrapping, it's all flat so a higher grade vinyl is not needed. Now I would be against anything less than 651.

A retainer can still be added to this sign. I am confused as to why there are two pieces of polycarbonate glued together.

There are a few ways to do this. You can either use a routed polycarbonate and glue inside of the face (route it out mirrored). Some people use a block out vinyl, I know Avery has one. Again mirror it.

I've never had issues with logos.

Unless I am reading this wrong, shouldn't that sign have a retainer?

Oracal 651 is fine for this.

Strange, maybe I had defect rolls or old inventory. I received them from Fellers.

The half a dozen rolls I've used of 751, it has low tack adhesive and rips extremely easy. Doesn't stretch even the slightest. It's bad.

I need to find a supplier for some of these poster stands. However I can't find any with the custom name on top. Thanks

751 is junk. I am a huge Oracal fan but 751 is the worst.

I get that problem all the time. I bid on local and state jobs where there are several bidders. The winner is always the person that is lowest, regardless if it's his first day in business or he works out of his apartment. More often than not, the signs are terrible. Even if I lose by $5, they...

I see that everywhere now. It's sad, they go and buy the cheapest China equipment on ebay and advertise as a one stop sign shop. Luckily they come and go. I see most copy shops getting into signs (I've worked with a few and it was a nightmare).

I would be at $500 - $600 and would use a better vinyl. (651 is great, but not for that type of application)
