you'll definitely want the roller, not just the TSA4 for the "flat" portions, but the VCAT roller as well for the mortar lines. expensive, yes, but crucial for proper mortar line contouring. If you don't get a good heat&roll into the mortar lines, they will start lifting the day after your...

MPI3320 seems to be listed as acceptable for all types of printers... gotta just be the old/cold calendared vinyl going thru hot printer.

vecteezy has some good free stuff. still, if you're a business making money off design then you should not be pulling crap off the internet to pass-off as your own. only a matter of time before you get hit, and free crap is crap nonetheless. buy artwork packages from provehicleoutlines, or...

recommend? for what application and what printer? plenty of merchant members here with recommendations if you post the info.

the "nice" thing would have been for the company to give you kudos in the post.... but ultimately, they're boosting ability to complete a project. I'd be careful about snubbing them, as they could spend their dollars elsewhere in the future, but they are being truthful in their post about...

easiest way to start, would be to diagnose whether its simply the media. you might get a few more credible troubleshoots if we knew the material and the printer at the start of the thread. unknown avery vinyl could be the culprit, as that brand still carries a LOT of question marks for me...

we don't cast our plaques, we machine-down plate metal with our CNC. then either sandblast to smooth out the toolpaths, or add a texture coat. huge +1 to Gemini. they do great work.

you could also use gold metallic vinyl as your base, and print onto it. or print onto clear and laminate the clear print onto the gold?

another thought could be that the vinyl has been sitting cold for a long time. Tis the season, warehouses/trucks/storagecontainers are freezing in the North this time of year.... and the quick-heating of the pre-print/cure may be causing this (most likely calendared) vinyl to rapidly expand.

never hurts to try.... if you have a sample of the material, you could always laminate a swatch onto some junk roll and print onto it to see the results without having to load a roll or waste a large chunk of exotic vinyl just to test. some materials just don't want to accept certain inks, or...

wayyyy too cheap. maybe for a friend paying cash, but $200 pretty much covers showing up and cleaning up.

have you tried simply looking up the literature from your PVC manufacturer? (for example, Sintra) there are also hundred of youtube videos of people explaining how to prepare/paint expanded foam pvc board using various methods.

we have a 12' Baileigh Shear, works as it should. Past few years of operation we've only have had to replace a $30 solenoid that controlled arms that can be raised to hold the cutoff

+1 i've done this as well.... survey measured the Visible Opening but wrote it as plastic size. p.s. still, sign faces bigger than your body should always be polycarb... shatter-proof being the main reason. surveys should ALWAYS have both visible opening AND plastic cut size to fit, or if no...

6ft acrylic?!? go with Polycarbonate! in theory, you could "make it work", by fabricating a signcomp frame to reduce your v.o. & fit your acrylic, but making a new face is a hell of a lot less effort and $$$ than modifying the structure of a painted metal cabinet.

no vinyl manufacturer produces a roll that large.... how complicated is the graphic? would paintmask work?

3M Gold Nugget Translucent 3630-141

unlaminated? madness..... cured ink has a luster finish, i guess? not to poke fun, but if you're slapping out unlaminated prints then why sweat the details. you can print on matte/glossy media, and your ink is going to cure the same finish every time.

sandblasting to create braille? interesting, never heard of it but the pics prove it is possible to do. +1 to learning something new everyday, I actually just saw a video of a UV printer building-up the 1/32" characters & braille & colorizing everything in one-go. I still don't see why the...
