I'd be interested in an alternative to coroplast for yard sign. Especially for the signs that are only used for 30 days then tossed out. If anyone know of something please let me know.
Don't use .040 for this application. Its to thin and will look very wavy. I would suggest doing a pan face with 2" returns out of .063 aluminum and having a butt seam in the middle. Installing with aluminum angle and screwing it in on the top and bottom of the returns.
If they are on a tight...
Not sure if you do this but for example if I have 100 double sided signs to print I just send 200 and just flip the boards to keep it going so there isn't the reload process for the other side.
I can see a photo lab getting a R1000. They do great prints and the white ink is low (physical) maintenance unlike other printers. R1000 is pretty good at printing precut 18x24 yard signs. You can also print on canvas' and reverse print on acrylic that looks excellent.
I divide my shop with a wall of pallet racks and have a huge banner on one side and openings where you can walk through with the clear vinyl stripping. I’ll try to remember to post a photo. I have it dividing the “dirty” area and it also helps with all the heat or AC getting out when the bay...
I have a Roll-X table that is awesome. The roller is a simple design with minimal things to get in the way and the legs are independently adjustable for height and leveling. That was important to me because there is a drain near one of the legs and the floor dips down so with that adjustability...
Also as for heat I’ve notice the R1000 doesn’t run that hot. I believe the curing temp is around 140 degrees. My HP Latex 360 runs way way hotter at 220 degrees. Before I got the R1000 I thought I was going to have to build an extraction hood for all the heat but it’s not as bad as the HP 3...
When the paper has stuck for me I have used application fluid to get off the paper. Then hit with a heat gun to dry. I would also use some 3M wrap primer to ensure sticking.
Just a quick note on print speeds. We printed about 100 18x24 single sided coroplast in about 45-50 minutes. I didn’t get an exact time because we had the head strike sensor get activated because one of the last prices of coroplast was curled. After we waited for that to clear and reload it was...
