Visit http://www.signwarehouse.com/tv for our complete video library!Sign Making is very simple!Here are the steps:Step 1) Create the graphic file.Using easy to use, specialized sign making software like Vinyl Express LXi or Flexi Sign, create your vector* graphic. It can be built from scratch or pulled from a pre-built clip art stored on your computer r a disc. *Vector means you can make the image as big as you want without any degradation. By the way, a photograph is NOT a vector file. Step 2) Send the vector file to your Vinyl Cutter.A vinyl cutter is a device which uses a tiny blade to cut designs into rolls or sheets of vinyl. Step 3) Weed the excess vinyl.After the vinyl cutter has finished cutting, you now have to weed the vinyl graphic. Using an Exacto Knife or a weeding kit, remove the unneeded sections of vinyl. Basically this is the material which won't be used. Step 4) Pre-Mask the GraphicWhen you're done weeding, we will now pre-mask the graphic. Using a special tape called Pre-Mask or "App Tape", you'll apply a layer over your vinyl graphic. Depending on the size of your graphics or text, you may need to overlap the graphic with additional layers of tape. This tape will allow you to remove the vinyl from its release liner when it comes time to apply the graphic to your substrate.Step 5) Mark for Alignment.It's now time to mount the graphic to your substrate. A substrate is simply the object the vinyl will be adhered to. Examples could be glass, like a door, Corplastic signs, which are signs that you most often see on the side of the road at intersections. Other examples could be a floor for floor graphics, or a vehicle for advertising on doors or back windows. There are many different types of substrates. Before we mount the vinyl graphic, we first have to mark the substrate for alignment. Do this by centering the graphic onto the substrate then using a special pencil called a Stabilo Pencil, mark the center of the graphic.Step 6) Apply the GraphicThere are many methods of applying the vinyl. The one featured in this short video is called the "hinge method". It's where you place a piece of masking tape across the middle of the graphic, then peel away the liner. Cut the liner then using a squeegee apply pressure to the adhesive exposed side of the vinyl graphic to the substrate. Do this for both sides.Step 7) Remove the Pre-Mask Tape.The beauty of Pre-Mask Tape is that it will remove only from the substrate, but leave the vinyl graphic intact. Pull off the layer of Pre-Mask tape to leave behind the vinyl graphic.Step 8) Clean the Finished SignUsing a mild cleaning agent like soap and water, wipe away the Stabilo Pencil marks.

Visit http://www.signwarehouse.com/tv for more videos!SignWarehouse is proud to introduce a revolutionary new product called ACI PaintFilm. ACI PaintFilm uses automotive grade paint which has been applied to a vinyl substrate, then coated with a specially formulated automotive clear-coat. The result is a new chemical compound with the brilliant finish and deep, rich color of custom automotive paint, and the conformability and ease of application of ultracalendared vinyl. ACI PaintFilm is ideal for those customers who desire a custom painted look for their vehicle without the cost and loss of time of actually taking their vehicle to a Paint and Body Shop. Case in point: Ford Mustang racing stripes are a popular custom automotive paint application. Typically, a body shop or custom auto business charges $2,000 on average to paint racing stripes on a Mustang has to keep the customer's vehicle for up to two weeks. With your Vinyl Express Q Series or other plotter, you can sell and apply Mustang racing stripes in a variety of Ford paint colors: including Torch Red—for half the cost; and pocket a handsome profit!ACI PaintFilm is also ideal for use in motorsports for partial or complete wraps on race cars. The Kandy and Kustom finishes are lustrous and, since the paint is applied like vinyl, scratched or damaged fenders can be patched in minutes. Just load the film in your plotter, cut it and apply as needed. In addition to the Kustom patterns, ACI PaintFilm offers four popular fades, including a yellow to red fade ideal for flame graphics. Each Kustom or faded PaintFilm pattern is in fact custom painted on the vinyl substrate. So your finished graphic is unique and gives your customer the look of a professional custom paint job without the hassle of masking, painting, clear-coating, baking, and drying, and curing. Just cut it, apply it, and sell it. And because it's clear-coated paint, ACI PaintFilm graphics can be waxed, polished or buffed, and don't require lamination. ACI PaintFilm was developed by a SignWarehouse customer using a Vinyl Express Q series cutter, so it is completely compatible with your VE Q Series vinyl cutter. What about sizes and prices? SignWarehouse recommends the 30" x 3yd rolls with the Air Egress Adhesive* option. Prices for this popular size are $190.00 for standard and Kandy colors, and $210.00 for Kustom patterns and Fades. Other sizes are available upon request.

Depending on the lens used, you can focus to a specific distance from the material for optimum quality. And, since the laser beam is five thousands (.005) of an inch in diameter, it's extremely accurate!-Badge Making! Cut and Engrave in a single pass! Unlike rotary engraving where you need to change out tools for each process, the Pinnacle laser engravers will cut and engrave all with a beam of light. You'll waste less time setting up your engraver. All you need is your text or image along with an outline to cut out. The Pinnacle laser engraver will see the text or image just like a printer sees it. Then when it comes to the outline, it will follow the path to cut it out. When used along with the "sorting" feature this is a function that puts the Pinnacle laser above the competition.-High Speed DC Servo Motor!DC Servo Motor Servo control moves the motor to the desired position using an x/y coordinate. For example, when your computer tells the engraver or cutter that x=1000 and y=1000, the engraver or cutter will move to the location that corresponds to those numbers.-3D EngravingProduce true 3D images with 256 shades of gray Pinnacle laser engraver. Just use any grayscale photo with 256 shades of gray. The darker the shade of each pixel in the original photograph, the more power the laser applies. More power means deeper engraving.The Pinnacle line of engravers takes this procedure to the most accurate representation of TRUE 3D engraving. Most lasers use a black and white mode, which use a density effect as opposed to 3D engraving which uses a power effect. With our 3D mode selection the power will ramp up higher for the darker portions and ramp down for the lighter portions.-Stamp modeMaking a rubber stamp can be easy and cost effective when made properly. The Pinnacle makes your rubber stamp manufacturing easier by allowing you to set proper thickness and pitch. You don't have to worry about smudging or unclear lettering with stamp mode, which is always a standard on the Pinnacle laser engravers.-Up to 64 meg BufferBuffer size is vital when engraving photos or any large images. When sending a photo to your engraver you will want to know that the whole image is getting there. A photo can take up a lot of room in your buffer. Pinnacle lasers allow storage up to 64 megabytes for keeping files in your engraver and not having to worry about losing them.-Optional Dual Head UnitThe dual head unit allows you to work more efficiently without wasting time and materials.For more information regarding the Pinnacle M-Series Laser Engraver, or any of our other Pinnacle Lasers, contact SignWarehouse.com Today at 866-224-1808 or by logging onto http://www.SignWarehouse.comSi nWarehouse.com is a leading U.S. based direct source provider of sign making supplies and sign making equipment to Sign Designers and the graphics industry.
