Good afternoon everyone.
I am curious about possible alternatives to using static cling for interior mounted glass displays. Are there other options out there that people use/recommend over using static cling?
Thanks.
I am trying to find solution (if it exists) to an upcoming install. We are installing some glass panels to a wall using standoffs. Is there a type of product/hardware that acts as a "sleeve" around the threads on a bolt so that when the standoffs and the panels are installed, the glass does...
We have a customer who wants a food menu board hung up behind their counter. The boards will be about 3'x3' and a qty of 4 from left to right. Picture something similar to Chipotle. The customer also wants the boards to be slightly angled, with the bottom of the board being farther back than...
This.
The decals would be placed on a set of off road vehicles that are made of low energy plastic so the high tack adhesive is a requirement. We tried DPF8000 and it sucks, the print quality is subpar and the adhesive leaks onto to printer. We got a sample roll of IJ39 so Im hoping it works...
Good afternoon,
We have a customer who wants to get sticker kits printed for some off-road vehicle doors. The customer has been getting them printed by another source who was using Arlon DPF8000. I have read on the forums here that a lot of people don't like working with DPF 8000 (adhesive...
I am sorry for the amateur question. I was told by a coworker that we had a request for a customer who wanted to put images on fire rated glass and wanted to know if there was a vinyl media that could survive for an hour in fire heat. I assumed that the answer no, but I didn't know for...
Good afternoon everyone,
We have a customer who is looking to make some signs that would withstand heat/fire for at least an hour. Do they make any solvent printable vinyl/laminate that is fire rated?
Good afternoon,
I have a customer that is looking for some signage for a mall interior similar to this image:
They want something like this that looks nice and can be moved (it has wheels on the back side) I've found mobile sign stands but they all have cheap looking plastic bases and this...
I have seen marked improvement recently with my glossy printing job with the increase in heater temperatures. I used to run at 37/37/55 at the recommendation of our franchise support staff, but i have increased it to 40/40/55 and the level or orange peel/spotting has really decreased.
Thanks...
Good afternoon,
We got an interesting request today from a customer and we are having a tough time coming up with a realistic solution. The request is this: The customer has 2500 clear food trays, same as the ones used in restaurants and cafeterias. They want to get stickers made that are...
Good afternoon everyone,
I am wondering what the general consensus is on this forum when it comes to calendared laminates. Which ones are good, which ones are bad. I have seen Oracal 210 mention a lot with good marks. Has anyone used RTape laminate? Are there other brands that appear more...
Thanks for the tips Pat.
I have tried slowing the head speed down. It was recommended that I slow it down to 760mm/sec so that's what I'm running now. What heat settings do you find work best for you? Currently I use 37,37,55.
I am using 3651 gloss, that is our default gloss calendared...
I am using the XR-640. I have tried multiple profiles and multiple heat settings. Is this just something that is to be expected with glossy media?
Is it acceptable to print on matte media and gloss laminate it to get better results?
Is there a tool or method to hand score the backing of printed vinyl stickers for easy removal? I know there is special crack & peel media that can do this. And I also know that I can kiss cut around the edges of the stickers to leave a lip for easy peel. We have a customer who is set on...
