Yellow Vinyl on Black Dibond
Hi All
Need some advise on this please, which would be the best method of doing this.
Producing some lamp post signs with minimal text and and direction arrow etc
The text and arrow is in black
The artwork has a black border which bleeds off the edge of the sign.I was advised that because of the black border it would be easier to fit yellow vinyl to black dibond, with text and arrow weeded out etc, seemed logical to me.
Done the first one, ok, used Helix E3000, slight issue is that the vinyl has not blinded out the black colour of the dibond behind the yellow vinyl, so obviously the yellow is now dulled.
Is this the right or wrong way to tackle this or have I bought the wrong vinyl.
Thanks in advance

there’s a discussion somewhere else about this, I’ve noticed it with yellow too. not an issue on printed films but certainly with light coloured cad vinyls it is, something to do with the lead content being removed (who knew!!??).
have a search for the thread, it’s quite recent I think, someone recommended a less (more?) opaque film.

Could you laminate two layers of yellow together?
Twice as tick to cut, but might work.

Hi
Have some white, so I have layered the yellow onto white, fixed to the dibond
The cut the text and arrow in black and fixed on top.
Lot more work and materials but yes it works and looks better.So is there any 100% opaque / block out vinyls out there
Its one of the jobs I wanted to get done over the weekend.
