Hi, it's felt, you can buy squeegees like this from geekwraps.com or you can also buy felt covers for your squeege that just stick on. I think they are called monkey grips. Hope this helps
hi there what material vinyl did you use on this one. i wanna use soemthing that easy to lift back up so i can easily make and adjustment as needed. ive dealt with to many agressive tack and its hard to lift back up and when i do lift it will stretch the material . most of the time i just started using rapid tac solution to make it easir for me.
Hi, I typically use 3M 40c with 8508 laminate. this was a pretty long time ago but I'm pretty positive that's what it was. I've used it for a long time and had good results. the initial tack is low but once squeegeed it's pretty tough. Thanks for the comment!
I honestly don't remember. I currently charge $320 for a single sided 4x8 but need to go up on that some. Haven't revised my pricing since the first of the year. So it was probably around $200 for the board and print/lam. Then I would have added a half hour labor for ripping the board longways like that. And probably some time for artwork. So probably $250 - $300 total before tax.
Hi, Thank you for the comment. Yes it is water proof once it is applied to the board. Life of the print is roughly 5 years before fading, depending on sun exposure.
@@pavoartsonline5146 yes sir! It all depends on the type of vinyl used. Most indoor vinyl's are polymeric calendared vinyl. Which is the cheapest, lowest quality vinyl you can buy. I would say it would not be a good option for something that will be in or exposed to water.
Hi, It would depend on what your doing with it. I would say probably like a PVC or Foam core board. As for the 3D letters, I'm not really sure on that one. Thanks
I don't think I'm quite understanding your question... Are you printing on clear vinyl and applying it to clear acrylic? If so, I don't think that would work for a backlit sign. You could add white defuser vinyl to the clear acrylic, then apply your clear print to the other side and that would probably work. Or just go with white acrylic. Let me know if I misunderstood your question. Thanks!
I'm sure you could. I've never tried it with a CNC. I have applied vinyl and cut out shapes with a jigsaw and that works for the most part. I apply masking tape over the print to keep the saw guard from scratching the print. Sometimes it will lift the edge of the print though so you have to be careful.
Thanks for the comment! I'm honestly not familiar with either of those printers. I have an HP Latex 335. I've been very happy with it. I love the latex because you don't have to wait for the vinyl to gas out before you laminate.
I think that was Avery Dennison cast vehicle wrap vinyl. which I normally would not use for a sign it's just what I had loaded in my printer at the time and the customer was in a hurry for the sign. Normally I would use 3M IJ40C laminated with 8508 for a outdoor sign like that.
Yes sir, its an aluminum composite material. The brand I use is Max-Metal, but there are many different manufactures. It is great for outdoor use. I use it for most outdoor non lighted signage.
Yeah agreed, I'm not great at editing the videos lol. I used an app on my phone to edit it and that's all it would let me put. Couldn't even add a second song. I normally wouldn't even put music on it but there was a ton of noise going on in the background when I was videoing this one. Thanks for the comment.
What is on the end of your squeegee tool? Tape? Foam? Thanks

put the tape in centre is better for good alignment. liner cutting knife from centre is time saver.

@@Blackcreekcustoms oh that is a little pricer vinyl that i use. if you dont mind me asking what did you charge for this and what was the size of this

Vary nice video
This vinyl print water proof?? And how much long it color life?
Hi, Thank you for the comment. Yes it is water proof once it is applied to the board. Life of the print is roughly 5 years before fading, depending on sun exposure.
@@Blackcreekcustoms thanks for reply
If we use indoor then how much long lasting?

What panel do you recemond to stick the vinyl on for indoors? Also I want to put 3D letters with lighter reflectant.
Hi, It would depend on what your doing with it. I would say probably like a PVC or Foam core board. As for the 3D letters, I'm not really sure on that one. Thanks
so if there is no white underlayer on clear vinyl it can be used for backlightign?
I don't think I'm quite understanding your question... Are you printing on clear vinyl and applying it to clear acrylic? If so, I don't think that would work for a backlit sign. You could add white defuser vinyl to the clear acrylic, then apply your clear print to the other side and that would probably work. Or just go with white acrylic. Let me know if I misunderstood your question. Thanks!
You use translucent vinyl for backlit signs, not clear, unless you're using trans AND clear for better saturation when lighted.
Nice video...what is the name of the board you placed the sticker on?
Thanks for the comment! It is Aluminum Composite Material or ACM, the brand I typically use is Max Metal.
Hello nice video what printer and ink did you used ?
Thanks! I have a HP Latex 335.
Once it’s applied, can the outline be cut with a cnc machine?
I'm sure you could. I've never tried it with a CNC. I have applied vinyl and cut out shapes with a jigsaw and that works for the most part. I apply masking tape over the print to keep the saw guard from scratching the print. Sometimes it will lift the edge of the print though so you have to be careful.
