Mylar laminates are a pain in the ass. There are alot of companies that make dry-erase vinyl laminates. General Formulations makes a good one (actually, they probably make the Fellers Wypet, but I'm not sure), you might see if any of your vendors sell it.

Combination all, rail system is alot easier but looks cheap in my opinion.

Wypet from Fellers (do y'all got 'dem fellers folks up there?). Works great, I think it's 4 mils thick, pretty stiff, comes on a heavy paper backing. As easy to work with as laminate can be, not sure what you're using but it sounds like a really thin (maybe 1 or 1.5 mil) mylar film on a film...

My only thought is the copy all looks way high on the sides. It looks like the main line up top should have been below the drip rail and everything else moved down accordingly. Otherwise good job.

Couldn't tell you. They're not process swatches, they're all spots. I tried the same experiment with a couple other files this morning too with the same results. One file was mostly vector art, no PMS spot colors, with a couple placed images. The other was just a raster photograph. Printing as...

That's typical with customers in the sign industry as a whole. Alot of people have no idea designing any of this stuff, be it a sign or a wrap, takes any time, and so many shops out there give design away for free that it just perpetuates that notion. Selling design for a wrap or a sign is like...

All depends on alot of factors, but we bill it hourly. In an initial meeting with the client we get a pretty good idea of what they're after and are able to ballpark a pretty solid flat fee based on that. A typical wrap of average complexity usually runs somewhere between $650 and $850 for...

OK, so here's a question (mind you this is coming from someone who only understands color management on a basic level)... This thread prompted me to experiment a little with RGB vs. CMYK files. So tonight I printed my Pantone swatch file 4 times. Twice as a vector file, one RGB and 1 CMYK, and...

We use quite a bit of General Formulations 202 matte and 204 gloss removable vinyls that would work perfectly for what you want. Orajet 3621 gloss or matte is essentially the same thing and would work well too.

This is actually for the city, so getting permission isn't an issue... Jhill, yes, the top is one, no graphics on the bottom. I'm liking the idea of hot gluing Ultraboard or Gatorfoam together, I never thought of that but you're right, that stuff is stiff enough to hold up fine and it would...

Initially that sounds great, but I'd suspect our yet unknown budget wouldn't allow for that. Oh, regarding the budget, at this point nobody knows how much for the cubes alone. The entire promotion has a hefty budget of around $75k but that has to include a whole lot else, so we're still in the...

I'm actually thinking 1/2" Coro more than likely. 3/8" PVC would be way too heavy. Knowing this client, more than likely they'll be hiring a bunch of college kids to go move these around at night. They'll be in parks, on street corners, in parking lots, etc., so casters are probably not an...

So a customer (marketing agency) just called. They're looking for 25-50 6' or 8' cubes of some sort. This is for some sort of viral marketing campaign advertising an event so they're only going to be used for about a month. They plan to place them strategically around a city and every night...

omg that was too easy!

Dear lord someone please tell me this is possible, it absolutely drives me nuts that it disappears every time you close the program.

I don't know guys, I know it's not everyone's taste, but it's got a certain look to it...

Personally I'd go with gloss red wheels and gloss red pinstripes. Classic!

You should be able to get away with any glossy calendered vinyl profile. There's no way to hit truly accurate color with perf simply because of it's very nature, so whatever doesn't soak it with too much ink should be fine. Sometimes on really colorful images I'll bump the saturation a bit, perf...

Yeah, make sure it's optically clear. Durability will depend on sunlight exposure and some other factors. I wouldn't tell them it'll last more than a year, but it very well may. We've had one 2500 s.f. job on Solvex perf, unlaminated, facing west that's been up for 3.5 years and still looks as...

Yup. It'll probably do a better job if anything.
