  1. UV Transfers Onto Wood With PET Film

    Our shop has a UCJV300 and we are trying to master a method of heat transfer onto wood. The image is printed onto a PET film, and then an adhesive layer is screen printed onto the back. The image can then be heat-transfered onto wood and the PET film peeled away. We have had great success with...
  2. Vinyl - wood application

    Hi: We have our first wall application - It's a wood wall that has been stained. I'm wondering if Oracal 651 is going to be my best bet or if I should go to a High Tack? We live in an area that get a lot of snow/rain and ice - it's an outside wall... doing my best to avoid vinyl fail by end of...

  4. Echo 4x4 or 2x2 CNC

    Just wondering if anyone has used either of these CNC machines? We are running out of space in our shop but have been looking for a cnc router. The size of the 4x4 is very appealing and would work for a majority of our signs that we send out currently. We are having problems getting the company...
  5. 4 ft x 8 ft commercial real estate sign

    Hello, I'm looking for the best option to adhere vinyl to wood. I've just attempted vinyl on painted plywood and it won't stick. I've noticed other signs that appear that they are adhered straight to wood. Is there a special type of wood I should be using? Is there a specific paint that works...
  6. Best board for 8'x16' metal frame?

    I really appreciate the help I've received in previous questions. I have another one though! I just got deposit on a job today, it's a non-lit sign that's in a 8'x16' metal frame about 20' high. I plan on using cut vinyl and some digital print. The previous panels were (4) 4'x8' MDO all...

  8. What's a good thick outdoor sign material-1 3/4"-2" thickness for a building sign?

    We are bidding on a project for a historic building and the client would like to have a wood background like the attached mockup. I was thinking something 2" thick or less and I found a product by Wensco called "AllWood" sign blanks. Just for the material alone, at my wholesale cost they want...
  9. Paint for wood substrates

    We have a CET hybrid printer. We went with straight cmyk, no white. No regrets there 'cause we would never use it. (And if that changes we can always add the white ink later since it's field upgradeable). But, having said that, I'm wanting to produce a sign using some old wood. It's for us...
  10. Wood Branding

    I was with a customer today that is interested in getting their logo branded on wood. The logo would be pretty large 7' wide x 5-6' tall. I've scoured the internet looking for a company that can do this but I don't think they're out there. Wouldn't be a problem if I needed a 2x2 piece of wood...

  15. Lettering metallic on stained wood

    Hey Guys, I'm going to be lettering metallic gold onto stained wood. I worked a long time mixing the stain to the exact right gray/blue color to match my customer's business identity. The wood is soaking up the paint and I can't get a good coat without priming first. Is there a clear...
  16. Flatbed printer question

    I am looking for a printer that will print pictures on 3/4 inch wood. Most of the prints will be smaller (8x8 or 8x10) but I also need to be able to print up to 30x40 inches. I have been searching forums on here for a while and have found a few new printers in the 90-120k range, but I was...
