to alupanel or not to alupanel?

Posted by javaid akhtar on 16 April 2007 at 09:22

Hi..
I’m a ‘have a go’ lame hobbyist’ with a cheap chinese cutter and HP120nr printer as my only tools.
But I have fun…and I have a small drycleaning business that needs a sign
in white ( glossy ?) about 14.5 inches by 177 inches.
My cutter can manage the lettering which i’ll keep modest( thankfully matching my ability) because of the short height of the sign.
But whats the best way to fit alupanel together seeing as it does’nt come in any length approaching this?
Or does anyone have any better ideas for a clean white glossy surface of that size.

Appreciate any help

hi there,

your best bet would be to get a frame made up, then simply slide the dibond panels inside it, then a small strip of vinyl to mask the join.
