Hi all. I have a customer with an illuminated sign cabinet, that has a clear pan-face sign in it. He wants me to wrap the pan-face, but he wants the vinyl applied to the inside of the pan-face "because that's how it was". He peeled off the old vinyl. It was red die-cut oracal translucent...

Using a Roland vp540, how can I cut a cookie stencil? The machine can cut vinyl but I'm not sure how much thicker it can cut. I cant use vinyl because it will stretch and distort the cutout so I was thinking something thicker but something that the 45 or 60-degree blade can cut?

I have a customer looking to get a large number of plastic interior hanging signs, about 3' x 4.5' with full color print on both sides. I don't want to use a corrugated plastic, as it just looks cheap (because it is) but I don't want to step all the way up to expanded PVC sheets. I'm confident...

Hello Everyone! I am one of the worker bees for a local sign shop and am trying to think of ways to increase my company's revenue. One of the requests that we get and are unable to supply are for hard, reusable stencils. We tried using our engraver once, but it caused too much wear and tear on...

Hello everyone back again. I have a question or two about post heating. I go back and forth between heat gun and torch. Torch is great for some areas and heat gun for others. My question is about the long duration of time it takes to go over every inch of the vehicle to get to the 200-220 range...

Hey guys, I've been looking for a fair bit now and haven't found a product that works well for me - and that I can get in Canada. I'm looking for a material I can cut on my Mimaki CG-130SRll that can be used as a reusable stencil. A thin, plastic type material that would be sturdy enough for...
