Nazdar ink? I use Roland ink in our Roland printer....
I use 3551 orcal and 290 laminate all day every day and have had no issues. Been using this combo for 6-7 years.....you did laminate right?
Or are you contour cutting perf window film? If so, I have not had good luck doing that and in fact...
Just what I want a bunch a grandmas in my shop bugging me to print pics of their kids all day long...I pass!!!! They EXACT reason I quit printing shirts, too many pests!
Who in their right mind would waste that expensive material on a coro sign?
Apply a little slower, I don't seem to have any problems, I apply 651 to coro for cut stuff and ora 3164 for printed.
I use Corel and just draw a line around the bitmap I want to cut. Then assign the line as cut-contour.
Or do you mean to put cut marks for cutting after laminating? In that case I just hit the cut mark button in my RIP.
Stickers are paper with adhesive...I do Vinyl Graphic applications....That is what I tell people. Also people ask if I "make t-shirts" I tell them NO I print t-shirts, I buy them from Guatalahara!!! and then print them.... You know you have made it when you start to hate your customers!!!!
We have a rope swing made from 2" thick rope from my Grandpa's barge he owned on the Missouri River. He put that up in our Oak tree when I was 4, I am 40 now and push my kids on it every time I am out there...It is made from hemp!!! That stuff lasts.
Only need two more votes....
Does not sound like you'd be able to handle something like this....you might hire a sign shop to make it for you...takes more than a sticker cutter to be a sign shop...LOL
Seriously, you have spent more time thinking about this than it should to make it.
1 sheet of composite, 1/4th sheet of...
Have you priced HDU? Doing it with composite and .040 will cost 1/4th of what you are going to have in HDU....and I guarantee will last longer....one good hail storm and HDU is toast. Been there done that.
Cut to shape like that I would use a 10' sheet of aluminum composite and the put 2" .040 aluminum returns on it. Simple job, just like fabricating a 10' long chan letter.
I use medium tack transfer-rite tape on some pretty detailed stencils....TIP:AFTER you apply the graphic/stencil, and BEFORE you pull the tape off spray the tape with rapid-tac and rub the tape, it will loosen the tape's hold on the vinyl, then slowly peel it back on itself.
That will wrap in and look like crap in 6 months. You are WAY over thinking this simple job.
Fabricate an aluminum pan box sign and mount your print to that.
All this "foam" talk is making me sick to my stomach that a "professional" sign maker would even consider that for outdoor use. Unless to...
No these don't make you "see funny things"... Morels, fry them up! I got 20 pounds or so, I got tired of picking them....
I might go back in the morning, unless I can be in the field. There was at least 100 pounds in this patch....Pour people sell them at
$25-$53 a pound, I just like picking and...
