I'm looking to get a new cutting matt, but not the real ones. We currently have tables that have some type of plastic. It is 3/16" thick, and we've been using them as matts for over 8 years. I would like to get the same stuff, but not sure what it is. Anyone else using some other type of plastic...

I did a Trans-am eagle install this weekend. The vinyl was old, and the clear premask was stuck so hard to the decal, I had to install it dry. It created some bubbles, but no big deal. When I removed the premask it left a bunch of glue, so I wiped it up with Rapid Remover, and then cleaned with...

What's your thoughts on an employee in a small shop buying their own equipment to run a side sign business from home?

We have a job that requires laying wayfinding, colored lines on the floor of a hospital. I was initially thinking 3M IJ40 with 8509, because of the anti-slip. However, I'm wondering about using IJ180 with 8519 for better durability, as the floors are waxed constantly anyway. Tried reaching 3M...

We're looking at making some some folded Aluminum Composite sign trays. I quickly tried searching this site, but couldn't find many threads. Can anyone point to somewhere I could find more info on the build? Specifically the corners =)

Does anyone have any links or info comparing different plastics (in relation to signage)? I have a customer looking for 8.5" x 11" prints, approx. 2mm-3mm thick. They will be in a snap frame, and left outdoors. What would you guys use?

Not sure why this happens on printers. It is really noticeable on this polyester material, but I've seen it on all vinyls. I had a Pro II in the past do this as well. It's not your typical banding issue, and always happens towards one side of the printer (furthest from where the heads rest by...

We often have customers that want a vehicle covered with a flat wrap, and overlaid with cut vinyl. As far as I know, vinyl will not stick to flat wrap. Recently we've seen a vehicle that a competitor did that was white cut vinyl on top of matte black wrap. Wondering if anyone knows how to make...
