  1. Address signage - How would you do it

    Is that good for dimensional signage? My numbers need to be raised. Obviously this could not be done in my shop relatively soon since i don't know anything about this method. Plus the process is about 50% more expensive. Is this method good for one offs? Meaning i need to produce x145 different...
  2. Address signage - How would you do it

    I've got a request to supply x145 municipal address signs. Customer has given me this picture as a sample of what they are looking for. Finished size of these signs is 11"x6". Should this type of sign be produced on a CNC and if so .. What kind of material has a thickness of 1/4" or more and...

  4. Roland, 3-year outdoor durability without lamination

    I don't know of any trash can covers that stay clean or dentless. That type of application would call for laminating (for me anyways). As for the yellow. I am just talking from experience with my own prints. I can tell by looking at them that the yellow and lighter tones are fading first.
  5. Roland, 3-year outdoor durability without lamination

    Unlaminated garbage can stickers? Wow ... I can just imagine the amount of crap and abuse those stickers got. Yellow is the first color to go though. Way up here in the dark dark north. Prints still look vibrant for a good three years.

  8. Company truck wrap design - Tear it apart!

    What's a "Grahic" ???
  9. What's "straight" on a van?

    Even if you follow the middle line it will still look crooked. My opinion ... Base yourself off the middle line and raise your graphic a bit on the midsection of the van. This will reduce the amount of difference with the top line and make the graphic flow better with the all the lines on the van.

  11. Laser Engraving: Problem with Fading/Discoloration

    For me ... Air assist can be assigned to a specific area (color selection). When i engrave i don't have it on .. But when it is cutting i put on air assist (or else i will get smoke and flames). Plus i always have the vaccum/blower going on at all times.

  13. Laser Engraving: Problem with Fading/Discoloration

    Watson makes a good point. Is your material Laser compatible? There are different versions. I only need x1 pass to take off the top layer of either Gravoply or Rowmark material with my machine (35w). I just use glass cleaner to clean off my markings .. If i have tough residue then i will use...

  16. Laser Engraving: Problem with Fading/Discoloration

    I use regular glass cleaner in spray cans to clean the residue off. Engraving Rowmark or Gravoply material is pretty much all i do with my machine (Gravograph 35w laser). Just finished off an order of over 900 apartment door number signs (brushed aluminum with black graphics). Scrapped just a...
  17. Regarding Signs101 forum, one thing I've noticed is.....

    The No Holds Barred section was crap. It was always filled with negative comments and religious/political views were dominated by a select few. It was always the same people spewing out the same crap day in and day out. Since that section is gone we hardly see these people anymore and thank God...
