They have the more expensive ones in stock....

We have done these with 4mm acm panels, attached with vhb, adhesive and screws to the uprights

You can select "darker" or "lighter" in the settings and also try different halftone setting, Fine will often given a smoother look.

So he has nothing to do with but still owns it....and his new business only wants to do cheap wraps with a vinyl he makes and only in one location.... yea that's that's the ticket

I use backer panel on HDU a lot. It the case you have described I would bond it to a backer panel and if it still feels a little wobbly use stringers to install.

Yes, handlettering. I'm concerned about messing up the leaf if I make a mistake, and the black doesn't need clearcoating. I did some family crest plaques ages ago where I lettered after gilding the shields, but they didn't get any clear coating at all.

These were done around 1981. Handlettered on aluminum . Took these photos last week.

Yep we do a lot of these and always have issues with logo files. I start by telling them up front what to get from the clients. Then I go through the received files quickly and flag the ones that need replacement. After replacements are sent any that are bad I do a quick check for better...

I use the Bic pen barrel trick to work it loose then wipe with an alcohol swab.
