I have a client looking for 2 small decals as follows and I really don't have a clue what the markup is like on reflective work:
2 - 2"x16" Decal
Printed full colour on 3M Engineering Grade Reflective Vinyl
Laminated with Seal Gloss Laminate
Client supplies print-ready file
Can I get an idea...
Hey folks,
I have an issue with a label file I've created print and cut on our HP Latex 315 Print & Cut system. For some reason, the die-cutter keeps trying to cut the square twice which is causing it to be torn up and rough on the edges. I thought it had to do with me using an old file and...
As I've said before, I'm quite new to the business and still trying to get a handle on die-cut decal pricing and installs for doors and windows. Realizing that every market is different, wondering if folks wouldn weigh in on an estimate for the following jobs that were done in eastern Canada...
Hi All,
I have a client who wants us to make vehicle decals (approx 8x12) that will be on the doors of shuttle vans for a 2-week event. We're new to the vehicle market and wondering what folks suggest for this kind of use to be ale to effectively remove them at the end of the run. We have some...
I had a client come in with a matte poster printed at Staples. I'm not sure what printer they used but it appears to be a basic matte poster stock. I'd like to emulate the no sheen look but I'm so new to Latex printing, I'm not sure if the inks will dry on a matte stock without any sheen. We've...
I am having a difficult time sourcing any paper-faced adhesive stock (vs. vinyl) in wide format rolls. I have an increasing number of clients who want paper labels. Does such a product exist?
Hi All,
i'm running an HP Latex 315 Print and Cut system with Flexi Production Manager 21. I sent a job of 1.5" circle labels to print and cut but then realized that the CutContour line was not going to produce a full circle because it falls just slightly outside the edge of the artwork file (I...
Hi All,
New to the sign business in the last year and getting terrible customer service help from Grimco where I bought my HP Latex 315. Phone calls and emails to both tech support and customer service routinely go unanswered. Just appalling. Alas, I am turning to the real experts (those here...
Hi All,
I've been working on some 6"x4" ceramic blanks that are going onto bedroom doors in an inn.
My first attempt was to use die-cut vinyl, apply direct to ceramic and then clear coat it with mod podge spray lacquer. We may have applied the coats to thick, but as the pictures (hopefully)...
Printer: HP Latex 315
Cutter: HP Latex 54 Plus Cutter
Software: HP Flexi 21 + Adobe Illustrator CC
We have a label with a custom die-cut line we want to kiss cut and then a second square dieline for a cut through. We have successfully created an Illustrator file with separate layers for...
Hi All,
I'm sure this is a newbie question, but I asked my supplier if I can/should over-laminate reflective vinyl I'm putting on a roadside sign. They said yes, I should use 'optically clear' laminate. So two questions...
1) What constitutes 'optically clear' laminate? I currently use Arctic...
