so let me ask you...for interior signage, what do you use knowing that the 3ml will shrink away from the edges revealing the substrate. I personally think in most cases it is no big deal as no one is looking for it that way...but I suppose on a receptionary display or something that is possibly...
I went to see a manufacturing plant that I do a lot of interior signage for. As I walked through the plant to look at this new project I passed by many of the signs I have made. usually info signs yellow and white backgrounds with black copy on 1/8" pvc. To my dismay I was sort of taken back by...
I had 12 signs made for a factory and now they are asking what kind of cleaners can be used on the signs as they could get oil residue on them over time due to the mfg process they use. They were printed on a Flatbed UV machine......
The white is there for a good reason.... ordered some lime green cast vinyl that was lime green both sides and when installed on darker colours they get darker and lose the rich brilliance of the original colour. I suppose if your selling something that is "Pantone match" you might need white...

I am going to try using some clear vinyl on a few jobs to see just how well they flow over graphics and see...
Look at that!!!! you see what I was saying...man the technical gurus even scour the boards to help you..... I can't think I would ever buy anything else but a Summa from now on!!! Good work Phil:rock-n-roll:
There are some suppliers who carry 60" vinyls and then they convert them down from there so there is a possibility of having a roll cut down to 54" if need be
That wouldn't last 3 days in my house....I watched the video and was amazed at that guys application technique....he used his hands.....c'mon!!! for real?
