3/16” foamcore

No different for ANY lamination that we do. Calandered, cast, floor, dry erase, polycarbonate, etc etc etc So yes I did read your post. I just think you may not be doing it correctly.

Fold over yard signs are/were typically screen printed on a heavier “card/poster stock”. These were more popular before flatbed printing. I don’t see them too much anymore They would fold them over a “U” shaped wire and stapled. Coroplast printed on a flatbed is the way to go now. It...

Depending on your mounting…..ACM

Given your question your customer wants vinyl applied to the wall. Corrugated metal wall folks….. 1. yes laminate. It will make the application a little easier. 2. use cast not calandered. 3. You will have to start with the “high” spot then feed it down into the channel then back up to...

1 piece of tape is all you really need….

Take piece of masking tape (about 1” long). Bring your lamination to the take up real with the lamination facing out. Tape the the leading edge to your take up reel. 1 piece in the middle is all you need. Make 1-2 revolutions on the take up reel. Score the lamination. Pull back the...

Cost of your materials x your markup. Pretty straight forward. However $500(ish) each is reasonable given your process. Your material cost should be in the $175 - $200 range for each panel. Your price will be different that mine. As you said, you work out of your home where as I have my shop...

You too? Good luck. Hard to find.

Illustrator. Make your own or design in Illustrator with the image as your template layer. Simple.

You need to get in touch with Mimaki directly. I’d ask where ever you purchased the printer from. Mimaki has many more profiles available. While RasterLink is not the best it will be fine for your 200. Trust me I’ve had a 2000 and the 200EX for 6+ years. Went for the 200 to the 200EX...

For us that is “old school” so to speak as we print with our flatbed. However, for the best results I’d suggest print with bleed, apply to your foamcore and THEN trim. This will give you the best results. A SHARP BLADE IS A MUST AND MAY TAKE A FEW PASSES. CHANGE THE BLADE IF NEEDED FOR...

$400-$450 per vehicle assuming (2) decals at that size per vehicle. 3M / Avery cast wrap vinyl with lam. Installed at your shop. Add $$$ if travel. Should take 2 guys no more than an hour to install.

You are 100% correct. I assumed they were a sign company

Signs365.com has done well for me

butt joint then edge seal tape the seam

Yes cast cost more and calandered but in this case the difference in cost might $20-$30. Not worth it to me. Just price it accordingly….. We don’t do the print and mount much in my shop. All flatbed printed and then a cast lam if needed.

You have not found someone we can help. We do a lot of wholesale work for other companies. Some have find us here on 101.

Sounds like someone used calandered vinyl for an exterior project. Cast my friends, CAST! ALWAYS! With cast SDL you should have no problem if install on the board correctly. Why can’t some people get this through their thick skulls! I’m tired of seeing/hearing about this stuff. In the...

I’d like to know what sent Gino in the “rant”….. Not that he is wrong in any way. A lot of people think rules/regulations/etc don’t apply to them or the just say screw it…..
