Now that Coreldraw is going with yearly subscriptions instead of license purchase, It's gonna be expensive. Same price as upgrading Corel every year, which is not our case.

You can also apply two layers of 3M tape on top of each other and you'll get a better contact on highly textured surface. We've had good results on cinder blocks.

It's a really easy material to work with. You can even fold it in boxes using v-groove routing!

Hey there, For an appartment complex, the client would like to replace the signage in the parking around the buildings (phases 1 & 2). So lots of directional signs to be placed. They would like the signage style to match the interior signs, which is made of brushed aluminum alupanel (or...

Hello there, in an old warehouse building converted into loft offices, they want to put graphics over the columns which are covered with metal plates. It is basically old steel with a clearcoat over it. They want to have a lot of small text in white, so they ask us to test with different clear...

Hi Doug, I checked your website, very nice work! You seem to do mostly large size printing. Will you print on awards directly?

Looking to outsource some color printing on plaques and awards in small but repeat quantities. Pls PM if you do, thanks.

Here is a photo of what I mean. It was applied with a cold laminator. Same results with squeegee, water, etc.. 1st photo from top, 2nd is from underneath clear acrylic. I was told it is the glue used for the polyester. It does the same with the chrome effect film.

Hello guys What would you use for a durable natural finish on a 48x36" cedar sign. The cedar panel is 1.75" thick. This is for the background only. The text and graphics will be made in aluminum and acrylic. thanks!

With the new paints, you have to do a test. After the paint has dried for a week, install a piece of the vinyl (or vinyls) on the wall. If it's gonna peel off because of incompatibility, it will usually do within 2-3 days.

I will check what kind of grit was used and also make sure of the right orientation for the wood grain. thank you guys for the tips!

Hello guys, we went to the local machine shop yesterday with a piece of cedar to test if they could help us with the sandblasting. I put a sandblast mask over a piece of red cedar plank and hand -cut some random shapes. They tried sandblasting it at 100psi with the beads they are using for...
