i think you are right billy and have done several stripy prints but the van i saw on there stand and the demo bit they gave me was not a problem and when i got home i created the effect with coral quickly i just needed that little spark of inspiration

All credit to Rob, but signlab have had Photocut in the program for years.
Now they have advanced it a bit, and it can now be combined with print.

i agree peter, they musta had it about 8 years now… but from what i could see “at a glance” on the stand… was just your regular 2mm stripes but leaving a bit in the centre to halo an image?
as you know the photocut is a scanning process of the image recrated by thick and thin lines giving a picture image if veiwed from distance.
what got me though was….
the biggest benifit from the lines is that because they run verticle, it allows rain water to run down the window were controvison catches the water in its cells and makes rear window vision impossible in the rain.
the windows i saw being demoed on signlabs stand had horizontal lines which i found a bit odd?

having said all that, i bet there has been dozens maybe even hundreds of folk around the globe using this method to make up this sorta thing. im sure i am way down the line anyway.

now where is my sketched plans on “self applying, bubble free vinyl” better get a copyright 😮 :lol1: :lol1:

Rob the guys from signlab are good at their job, Programming. They do leave a bit to be desired on the practical side though! The poor cadlink chap was struggling to apply the window graphic wet.

Even thats been done before Rob, well not quite, I seem to remember a vinyl that had tiny grooves in the adhesive, and tiny “squashable” balls to make it a bubble free application! Dont think it worked, or we would all be using it now!
