Greetings! Applying cut vinyl graphics to new flex face material - opinion: apply vinyl before stretching in frame, or apply to stretched flex face after fitting into frame?

Greetings! We have a trusty Roland VP-540 and Versaworks. We have a project at the moment to print a quantity of 4'x8' grayscale images - the customer has supplied full size grayscale TIF files to work from. Knowing that gray can be problematic, can anyone recommend a way of approaching these...

$40? Madness.

Greetings! I'm doing some costing calcs for a job - does anyone have the average ink coverage (i.e. sq.ft per CMYK set) for Roland Eco-Sol inks? I have it written somewhere, but damned if I can find it! Thanks!

I've used in Photoshop -> Filter -> Pixelate -> Color halftone ?

+1 for Peachtree

Exactly. +1

Not 100% sure it applies to the SP300, but have you cleaned/replaced the wipers and cleaned the wiper cleaner blade? On our VP540, they get gummed up pretty often, and it can cause streaks in the print if the wipers aren't cleaning the printheads properly.

We've had alumacorr delaminate..

Greetings! After cutting a bunch of Sintra (pvc) on our router, they are now full of static. Not withstanding we don't have any anti-static equipment, what is everyones favourite way of dealing with the static prior to apply decals to the Sintra? We commonly use iso alcohol, but is there...

You may also want to consider multiple passes - the first ones to cut down to the start of the aluminum and then a final pass to cut through the aluminum. Personally, I would stick with the upspiral as they tend to give a cleaner cut on the bottom surface (i.e. the face in your case) - the...

We apply unlaminated vinyl to substrates all the time, using a laminator. The biggest trick for us (eco-solve inks) is allowing the print to sit overnight - it's just too soft and stretchy when freshly printed.

Greetings all! I'm not very good at relating color names to actual colors - can someone suggest a good CMYK or RGB formula for "Hot Pink" ? Thanks!

Absolutely +1 Eric is always there when we need him, and I wouldn't go to anyone else.

+1 d/s tape & silicone. I'm curious as to why only 1/8" acrylic for 12" letters - seems too thin IMO ?

Thank you, both - that solved my problem! I appreciate your time. G.

Greetings! I have a Signlab font on my system called "amandame" or Amanda Medium - but I'm looking for the ttf or otf equivelant to use with Corel on another project. Looking for "amanda" on line yields many incorrect fonts - does anyone know what other name it might be called? Thanks!

Greetings! Does anyone know if there is a formula for calculating the apparent size of a sign from a given distance? For example, how big would a 4'x8' panel appear to the observer from, say, 100ft away? This kind of math is outside my comfort zone, but it sure would be handy to be able to...

Doesn't Express Sign Products carry 631 ?
