Why are you laminating? We use liquid laminate on our edge prints, used to be Frog Juice, now mostly Clearshield. When we do signgold vehicle lettering we apply the clear vinyl after installation. Occasionally we have to do a double layer and just apply by hand, but a cheap little laminator...

I think by the time you go through all the research, work, materials and time involved in the retrofit it will be about the same as new pan faces.

Mist the area with water to keep contaminants from getting airborne

I remember when we were building our own fonts the designer made sure to work in alphabetical order because the plotter would cut in order of creation. Same with tracing designs. My plotter has a "sequence" plot selection which cuts everything in order . Saves a lot of wear and tear on the...

Sounds like you need to hold off. Canuck just said shops are begging for help up there, maybe your husband should work in an existing shop for a while to get a better feel for the market and the business.

I thought scooter board had a more paint-like finish, maybe polyester, like shower board. lusterboard has a thin aluminum face

I was surprised they still made it too

The 1/4" ply core is Lusterboard https://www.regionalsupply.com/itemdetail/?itemCode=LUSTER1%2F4

There was a composite panel that used a wood core, never tried it myself. If the edge doesn't matter you could use alumalite(coro core)

I have a top notch graffiti artist working here and we have done more that a few projects with the despised rattle cans. A lot of times Montana or other high end brands. I also found a place in New Jersey that will color match anything and put it in a rattle can. Used those for an exterior...

I've been using HP aqueous for many many years. Right now have a Designjet z6200 and a 6610. They are workhorses, easy to maintain. Printheads swap out easily and the ink is reasonable, plus there are aftermarket inks available. We mostly do cheap paper posters on them but I have done...

On a less than perfect surface I'd use cheap foam tape & lexel

We get guys asking about color change wraps for commercial vehicles expecting it to be cheaper than a paint job. I had one client that was stuck and I looked into doing it, found ads for places doing color change for $2100. How the he;l they can make any money I don't know. One client had his...

Double bag it. So when the job is done the outside bag can be vacummed before it is stripped and then the inside bag won't have dust on it. If it's a "ziploc" I would then tape the seam. Also it wounldnt be unreasonable to build a plywood box around it to protect it from getting bumped, or at...

Try disconnecting the cable and reconnecting. I remember some issue I had was caused by the data transfer and somehow that cleared the problem.

Installed on what? Like Wyld said make sure they are built tough but imo a banner can be worse than a rigid sign in the wind. The city here use a cable top & bottom with grommets ziptied every 18" and them bungees to the corners.

Looks great Bill

Agree with following directions and butt seam. Multiple laminares and banner tape could be teh reason. We did our first floor decals with our Gerber Edge, so they had multiple seams. Installed at exit door for grocery stores. They lasted about a year in that extreme environment before starting...

"3' x 8' double-sided sign about a year ago and they figured we needed 24" wide by 72" long, by 50" deep. They also told us what grade cement to use, the rebar and how to tie it together and then it had to be inspected.... every step of the way. Not to mention, it was only 7' to the tippy-top...

Hope not. I've been using their products since 1980 and their plotters and the Edge are two of the best technologies this business ever saw.
