your photo looks like wooden doorway trim, easy purchase at your local hardware store. paint as you wish. else, we usually get extruded aluminum frame from SignComp. screw 3 sides of frame to wall, slide panel in, and screw on one of the side pieces to complete.

UV lacks versatility, as well. Latex prints can be used on a wider variety of media, including flexible/wrap vinyl. however, printing directly to substrate has its merits... particularly the labor involved in application, in addition to the cost savings of the vinyl/laminate not being used to...

steel vs. alum. both have their applications. durability comes with expense of polycarb, but well worth it for anything bigger than 4'x4'. you can bend it, drill it, cut it with a sawzall/jigsaw without chipping/cracking ever. acrylic is fragile, but holds a true color longer. polycarb has...

two years ago, i'd like to think so :) ....and I would have one seam, horizontally across the middle.

i don't think the TV itself is made to be weatherproof. most times I see them in enclosures, purchased separately.

chemetal is our go-to here in the states.

niiiiiiice! did you just take ink colors straight from cartridges or make multiple pens with measured-out CMYK values for your spot colors?

omegabond comes in colors too.

+1 arlon dpf8000. sticks great. however, i would recommend limiting the complexity of your cutcontour. a rectangle will usually last a lot longer than individually-cut letters, considering the wear/tear those mudflaps go through. if a simple one color logo, screen printing would also be...

perforated, yes. tint, uncertain, as it is usually made from polyester BUT you could always print on clear and laminate onto it.

chrome window tint? or maybe dual-layer perforated with chrome/black window tint? (i reference window tint, as an option, but similiar type of material is available from various vinyl manufacturers as "dual color" in grey/black)

thanks for the replies! i like the acrylic glue, as it has been tried & tested, but it is only ideal if I can not have it be visible from backside....as it dries bubbly/crusty-looking. was leaning towards a resin for the sake of clarity, if becomes necessary. also, not saying encapsulating is...

have always wanted to do this, but haven't a clue as to where to start looking. I'm basically inlaying colored acrylic into a clear acrylic that I have machined-down, and wish to either, or both, bond/encapsulate with a resin. Would polyurethane be the way to go? I have read that water-based...

that's just aluminum angle. looks like 1/8" extruded 1x1, in the picture. I would try to make something closer to 2". should be on both sides of sign, to create a "T" that is mechanically fastened to wall tension wire was most likely added for additional support. kinda shotty if you ask me...

phototex high tack should be your best option, I'm sure they would love to send you a sample piece and you can see how well it sticks. Good luck with pricing, however, as there are a lot of variables not listed in your OP. Never hurts to blurt out $15psf, & work from there depending on...

you should be able to bypass it. nothing complicated about these sensors, its really just a switch. and these laminators are really just a start/stop motor with rollers & manual pressure adjustment. bypass it electronically, by clipping a pair of wires from the sensor array and joining them...

your concerns are real, but so are those of the company that handed you this client 18months ago. over the years, we've had a LOT of large clients come and go, and it is rarely fault of the salesman. However, the ability to keep your ear to the ground and generate new clients is what most...

pre-cutting your panels might be a mistake. you are not certain of exact dimensions AND if you don't apply dead-nuts-square or somehow stretch the vinyl (even if ever so slightly), it will look awful. order your material with extra to spare, but don't cut anything until you've verified...

silicone loses it's strength when you press it flat. pair with tabs of 3M VHB tape, and the ~1/8" gap that it creates allowes the silicone to set as a legit blob of adhesion. edited: o wow, you're talkin' about mounting pads? I've always gone with an epoxy for this type of mounting...
