I'm new in the industry (started June 2023) and most of my clients have been Realtors since I come from the real estate industry. (I wasn't a Realtor). I know marketing and networking are great ways to grow any business. I'm looking to brainstorm ideas on ways to show gratitude to past clients...

Thanks for that! I figured the heat would help! I’ve tried going harder on the pressure for the manual laminator but I end up just wrinkling the Overlam bc the pressure was too tight

Oh awesome! Thanks for the tip! I’m just slowly building up for a laminator soon! I’ll try this in the mean time!

Thanks for the tip! Not too worried, was more curious to know if it was something to be concerned about.

Thanks!

I’ve noticed these streaks on the print when I use the squeegee to mount the vinyl onto the ACM. I believe it’s just from the extra pressure onto the Overlam. It almost looks as if it gets rid of the “silvering” where I squeegee. Is that what’s happening here? Does this go away or does it stay...

Great question! I typically do ACM. I only print and mount, I don’t really do installs. I always suggest to do ACM and add additional support across the backs rather than just the vertical 4x4. The realtor wanted to do MDO to see if they could go without the cross bar support. I really think it...

I'm making my first MDO sign panel for a realtor. I'm planning on mounting printed vinyl on one side for the graphic. Do I need to paint an MDO panel to mount the vinyl to it? Or can I just mount the vinyl on the primed MDO panel? Thanks for the advice! Here's a link to the primed MDO board I...

oh cool! So you heat the rollers on the manual Chinese version and it works well?

I’d like to watch this thread as well . I have one too and I’ve noticed that the pressure or tightness of the knobs plays a big part. When it’s too tight, the material eventually starts bunching up, but too loose and bubbles are inevitable. I’ve never tried adding something solid when...

Maybe once my shop grows more! I was in the executive department of the largest real estate company in the US, 90% of my business relationships over the past 10 years are with brokers and realtors, so i can't afford to not do it at the moment haha. Maybe as I grow, I can expand into other...

Thanks for this, i've seen them recommended a lot on here. I'm going to order a roll from them. I've heard nothing but great things.

Thanks! I'll try this

I agree! Same goes for the Real Estate signs :)

I'm making ACM and aluminum signs for the hanging sign panels. I assumed it was good to laminate ALL outdoor signage, even corrugated. Is that not the case? Thanks for the tips, i'm still learning!

Lol late to the party I know... but just in case... GSG stocks it all the time. www.GoGSG.com

I'd appreciate a recommendation on a decent Vinyl and Lam to use for real estate signs. I've been using the inexpensive Orafol 3640M vinyl and still havent quite figured out which lam to use. I'm happy to upgrade vinyl material and hear out what your recommendations are. I am not sure if I need...

Hi! I'm looking for a printable reflective vinyl for real estate signs. I was looking at the Orafol 5600, and I realized Reflective Vinyl is WAY more expensive than regular vinyl. So I'd love a recommendation for a good cost-effective reflective vinyl that would help me keep pricing competitive...

Yeah dude, thanks! I've heard of them through a guy I follow on YT. I'll check them out!

Thanks EVERYONE for the amazing info. I went ahead and ordered both. I do have some customers (mainly real estate agents) that do their signs with me, then request just stickers to cover their old brokerage logos when they move brokerages. I've legit learned more in this forum that I have online...
