Yeah I tried spray lam ONCE on some window perf prints, to see how well they would do. They were terrible....dust stuck all over them, some holes filled in, some didn't. Not worth the headache without the proper machine.
I think anyone would be hard pressed to tell the difference, on laminated prints, while installing. Now if you are heating and stretching the vinyl, I think going too far will look different between the two. I believe the latex printed vinyl will hold it's color a little longer before whitening...
Flexi can do all this automatically. No cloud required. Apply your template, send email as JPG or PDF. SOP here.
You have to create your template first, obviously. We have a vertical oriented one and horizontal one.
? This sounds horrible.
Lay 10 up, edges touching, on a full sheet of coro; slice with coro slicer down the middle, cut the 2 halves into your individual signs. Done. Knock out 10 in about 5 minutes. No vinyl trimming or aligning substrates. Could do 100 single sided in an hour. Double sided...
We lay out the templates on the table and match up the letters to make sure everything lines up before going out to install. Because we don't like to discover their errors during the installation.
I get what you're saying though, I've had people call and act perturbed that I don't have some sign laying around, ready for them to come pick up, that has some weird info on it that would only pertain to them..... It's like "why would I have that?"
Define large volume. We easily knock out anywhere up to 50 signs in a couple hours by printing and mounting on to coro sheets, then cutting down. And we make plenty of money doing so. More than that, though, we will sub out for screen printing. Just takes too much time when you get into the 100s.
What Gino said....plus, there's no tensioner or anything for your pre-mask....you're gonna have issues with the tape falling on your graphic or simply not unrolling with that.
We buy our stands from Catapult, as well as their own banner material and print them ourselves. We love their banner material, grey backed curl free poly film. It has a texture to it that feels and looks like it was laminated with a thin polycarbonate or something. They look very nice. We...
Stop using cheap paper. We've started printing many of our posters on curl free polypro.....we get one called Starline - it's essentially what we use in retractable banner stands.
I always say "work smart, not hard". Smart would be hiring someone qualified to handle the workload, and not have to do it yourself. But you even said yourself you like all the hard work, so not sure what the complaint is.
Not sure if yours is the same, but Web access for 260 looks like this...click down at the bottom and the Maintenance Kit usages are at the bottom of that page.
