HI Guys,

The gold leaf is the only one we do have , 610mm wide only, plenty in stock.

Regards

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Sorry guys , i couldn’t get logged on for a while , yes we have 3551 rapid Air in stock now 760 and 1370mm wide , yes its more expensive than 3551 but not by huge amount. Oracal USA website sells it as suitable for Corrugations and Rivets but not wrapping so 2 dimensional not 3 dimensional stretching.
Avery did lose the court case and are launching an alternative soon i think.

Hi there,

Anti graffiti film is normally a hard coated polyester that doesn’t allow solvents to key to it , therefore it just sits on the surface , a mild solvent should be enough to clean it away , isoprop should do the trick no problem.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Shane,

I didn’t realise you knew Manfred ?i have been at exhibitions where other peoples vehicle wrappers have come over to see how Manfred does it !!, he is the only person Orafol use, Oracal do know about it but say they had nothing to do with it i guess if it helps the customer they will be happy with it,we put a fully illustrated instruction leaflet in with every bottle we sell. Have you got "rapid air" over there yet ?would be interested to know what you think of it , our stock has just arrived in 3551.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Who have you been speaking to at Europoint ? I will ask the relevant BM to contact you.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Sounds like the outgasing situation , if there are disappearing then that’s fine.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Guys,

Its not recommended by any vinyl manufacturer at all , its a product sold by Manfred who does all of Orafols demonstrations , he uses it for his wrapping and i believe has patented the recipe, i have a pdf file i can e-mail anyone who wants it with instructions etc.
It isn’t oily .. Rob has used it ,it is a liquid but drys very quickly and leaves an invisible dry coating on the surface which a) reduces the initial grab of the adhesive and b) lets you effortlessly push bubbles out to the sides.

It isn’t expensive … check with Rob …its sold in the UK exclusively by Europoint in 500ml bottles.

Hope this helps

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Bubbles when applying or after its been applied ?

If the panels are GRP or fairly recently painted the surface may still be outgasing particularly if its a dark colour and a hot day , because the cast vinyl is thin the gases pass through the surface and they will disappear , if that’s whats causing them.

Cheers

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Dave,

Ask Robert how he managed to wrap the 10 dairy vehicles so quickly , he used 3651 which is the digital equivalent to 651… he used a product called Command Form to help, it appears to be dry and you apply it dry but it allows the air to be pushed out and gives the vinyl a very low initial tack , instructions for use come in every bottle. Its very new so does not explain in anyway why Robert always applies dry!!!!!

Hope this helps …. Ask Robert what he thought.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi there,

Cant make any comment about the bubbles (Teaching Gran to suck eggs and all that )other than not something that has ever been mentioned before …. stickiness yes although not lately … Oracal now put a primer on the reverse of the film to promote a better adhesion to the film , this then reduces the perceived initial tack of the vinyl and allows it to be a bit more forgiving ….. one of Oracals casting lines was down for a week lately and stocks got a bit low , could be some material made prior to the improvements that hasn’t turned. Comments such as "Chalk and Cheese" have been used by a couple of big users to compliment the improvements, much easier to weed as well.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

If someone has bought a machine i wouldn’t advertise it , they should be paying Gerber a licensing fee to use their sprocketing configuration , that’s partly why sprocketed material is more expensive per m2 than non-sprocketed.
As everyone has said , very few things you cant find sprocketed already , if its a one off speak to a friendly signmaker nearby who will cut the unsprocketed stuff for you ?

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI There,

That is no problem but if you have a VersaCamm why don’t you just use one of the digital grades that come in 760mm wide unsprocketed , you get the benefit of a grey re positionable adhesive and PE lined heavy weight backing sheet for lay-flatness.
Face film is treated to reduce static and give you better dot definition.

Hope that helps

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Brian,

Its sold by the metre so wont break the bank, 2 grades kept in stock it absorbs uv light very quickly then discharges it very slowly when the lights go out.

given that its effect will be minimal on a van , would it not be better to use a pale coloured normal vinyl ?

Cheers

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi There,

Best bet is the material manufacturers or machine agents web-site , alternatively all OEMs will profile a material for you if its supplied to them usually FOC as they want you to be happy with the equipment , have to say in my experience visiting people with Mimakis all get excellent results using the above or nearest equivalent settings , it seems to be a very forgiving machine.
see http://www.orafol.de will be a start.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Dave,

Both products come in a Blue , i would say it was mid rather than dark , you could cover a white sheet in size 1220 x 3050 , this would reduce your waste as 6 x 4 comes out twice exactly , cover the board to the exact colour you want and have the better of the two products for the job. easy for me to suggest of course !! if its in a frame you would need to leave a small gap for expansion or better still use spring loaded edges to allow for movement when the weather changes.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI There,

Not many Signmakers have a wall saw , if anything they may have a bench saw or maybe one of those hydraulic air blades for trimming down , all suppliers cut to size the substrates you are talking about which saves you this expense.
Tends to be the bigger companies who will buy one themselves.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI all,

but that’s because it takes me a while reach the land of the living in the morning! 9/10 I start work still in my PJ’s but by 10am I’m showered and change
Marcella, i cant say which supplier (Not Us) told me the drivers used to try and deliver early to you , now i know why !!!!!!

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Forex for me , Gatorfoam has to be bought by the box apprx 18 sheets for 8 x 4 5mm , if you are using something indoors and you want it lighter try the new Forex Smart.
Gatorfoam tends to be supplied if specified via GPM who import from the states, they sell to other Merchants who can ship it around the UK.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Sorry Hugh i forgot who you bought from, We felt that as it was such a massive benefit having a cast at a calendered price we chose not to discount to ……………. to the same level, hoping people would buy from us , they do sell other vinyls after all.
Rob will let you know what you could be paying.

Cheers

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hey !!!! Glad to hear it Marcella, what has happened is you have loaded prices on Alucolour and they don’t automatically trip over to our new product Ability bond , i will load them accordingly , ill give you a call to sort out the credit.

Cheers

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI There,

Few things — Steele Signs , tell whoever you spoke to i said it was Ok , rather we lost a couple of quid than let you down.

Hugh — You should be getting UKSG prices regardless and not list.

Shane — Orafol have announced 37 new metallic colours on 851 cast , we haven’t discussed bringing them in over here but would probably consider more readily if it was 751 cast maybe that will follow but no news yet.

Hope this helps guys.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI There,

Robert — Shame on you !!!! Shane you are spot on.

651 = 5yr
551 = 7yr
751c = 8yr
851 = 10yr

Its a long story ……. bottom line is 551 is our least stocked and because least popular , as 751cast is priced as a premium calendered vinyl we only really push 551 at customers that wont use a cast ,someone took an abnormally large amount and cleared our stock , we do have 34 rolls due in very soon.

When these situations occur i would offer the 751c charged at the 551 price.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI There,

What surface is the vinyl going onto ?

Reason i ask is some surfaces notably GRP sided vehicles outgas over a very long period of time, Cast vinyl is very thin so slow outgasing will dissipate through the film , the black as Jill suggests aborbs the heat and reaches a higher temperature which speeds up the outgasing which in turn exaggerates the bubbles caused , if you strip away the bubbled area and the adhesive is stringy then its an outgasing problem.
Also type of paint could be the reason 2 pack paint is another that is dry to touch quite quickly but vinyl manufacturers will recommend upto 3 weeks before trying to apply vinyl for the same reason.

Hope this helps.

I may be wrong, but didn’t JAC get taken over by LG? JAC was discontinued here a year ago. No one was told either, it just disappeared off the market.

I believe Avery bought Jac probably around a year ago but time flies could be longer !! Might be different in Oz ?

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

There is also a product called panostar , its like contravision but without the adhesive , can be printed on the white and hung from the inside, can be printed on all solvent/eco solvent machines.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi There,

If you print onto the white you will only be able to stick it to the outside of the window, you need to reverse print onto clear then back it up with white , then when you stick it on it looks the right way round from the outside.
Make sense ?

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI All,

Can confirm Europoint definitely do Forex Classic — however the mill have discontinued the Gloss version so we now do Ability Gloss , we also felt the Ability range had more vibrant colours so switched the colours to that aswell.
Forex Classic in White is kept in the widest range of sizes and thicknesess.

Hope that clears things up.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Guys,

I can shed some light on this , Our price lists are printed from the system , they are bespoke for each customer , this way you get prices for the materials you use, or ,are likely to use ,rather than a multitude of others that would make the price list bulky and mostly irrelevant.
If you are a UKSG member down load them from the site, swatches are available and a new range of swatch books are due out very soon.
A general all products list (without any special prices) can be e-mailed to you in a matter of seconds if you ring the branch.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

I am assuming you are printing using solvent inks ?

see http://www.sensitisers.co.uk

Various options for the solvent machine from 165mic / 270mic , advises that may avoid the need for lamination with some printers , surface is a matt white / scratch resistant and has a grey back in most cases.

All are polyester and therefore very stable which reduces the risk of curl.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Hugh/Gill,

Glad you haven’t had any problems with 651 but 451 is not much more expensive and will stretch and shrink with the PVC banner once its applied properly. Its just a recommendation.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Nic,

Am in the office Monday , give me a call.

Cheers

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi There,

Because pantone is a printed ink chart , the colours are translucent printed onto white paper , to get a truly accurate match you need to either manufacture with a white adhesive (Avery and Orafol can do this) or manufacture a translucent vinyl if its being applied to a white background , both would need a min make of apprx 300m2. Better to get a close as possible on a standard colour eh ???

Thanks for checking our swatches Marcella.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI There,

You wont get something that ticks all the boxes, i am aware of someone with a Roland that has printed Oracal hi-tack (rubber adhesive for low energy surfaces) on one of their machines , this would help with the first two requests , you wont find a cast vinyl with this type of adhesive, Oracal 3951 is one of many digital cast vinyls for the VersaCamm.

Cheers

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Guys,

Hugh , If where you are buying it from is saying its suitable from banners they are mis-leading you , 451 series is the banner grade product.
If you use 651 and roll the banner up then un-roll it there is every chance you will get “fluting” where the vinyl has stretched and wont shrink back , good if its on a vehicle but not on a banner.

Hope that helps

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI There,

Leboard has only a 125mic skin and is one sided , i would only use it outdoors if it was being supported by something or being backed onto wood (very popular for the perimeter of construction sites), Ability bond,Alucolour,Dibond,Reynobond etc have a 300mic skin and a longer outside life guarantee.

Hope this helps.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Kevin,

Have never seen a splice in Oracal in 13 years or heard of one, they guarantee no splices , anyone gets one ever please keep it and let me know.

HI Stuart,

When i first went out on the road i used to pop in and see you , have you still got that pile of old paint skins on the pallet that was going to be you’re retirement fund ??it was about 7ft high and 4ft in dia then and as you said totally unique and could never be matched.. i always remember it.
Roberts brother Jim could tell you a bit about contemporary art !!!!

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI There,

This is a tricky one , the vinyl is Ultra removable but it doesn’t come in a format for printing on a Versa Camm , why cant you use heat on a mirrored acrylic surface ? what happens ?

The repositionable adhesive allows you to manouver large area colour graphics without ruining your job if you make a mistake , ie lift and try again, it does become permanent after 24 hrs but will remove cleanly with heat.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Thanks Carrie for the mention , have a word with Ali (newbie) if that isn’t blatant Amari sales pitch i don’t know what is ??? answering the question is one thing ……… don’t go over board though eh ?

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Guys,

Alcan have only made 300 sheets to see what the market reaction is , it has only been made initially in 1220 x 2440 10mm , we are always looking for more environmentally friendly alternatives to foam pvc.
Yes it will print on flat beds / is UV stable for 2 years.

Sample are available from stockists

Cheers

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi guys,

Have the product manual for Alucolour here but presume its the same for them all , says best angle for routing / folding is between 90 – 105 dg also leave the aluminum skin + 0.4mm of HDPE.

Leboard has a 125mic Aluminum skin as opposed to Alucolour at 300mic , i would just use it for flat panels where its being supported and pay a little more for fabrication jobs. Majority of this product is used for flat panels.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Derek,

Hi Guys,

Its Oracal Hi tack – its a rubber adhesive for low energy surfaces, its not designed for Inkjet printing but i do know someone who has got reasonable results on a Roland before.
Hope this helps , also what sort of Polyprop ? Euroflute or Correx will take most plotter or screen vinyls without any hassle.

Cheer’s

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Orafol will almost certainly direct you to Australian Sign Supplies ,there is no way they would let you import it directly especially if its just for your own use. They are very loyal to their distributors. I would stick to getting it from Australian Sign Supplies.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Like with masking tape after a period of time which is dependent on the conditions its stored or exposed to , Paper app tape adhesive emulsifies hence a shelf life of 6 months , this makes it almost impossible to remove, if you want to leave anything masked for a length of time then the clear film version is made for this.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

I was at a 2 day conference about this recently , its a huge subject with many areas for discussion , in terms of instore TV , Tesco plan to have “Tesco TV” but are charging the brands for advertising so using them as a form of revenue, initial trials in stores using only plasma or LCDs had limited success as very often we have become so used to having a box in the corner on and not watching or listening to it, ASDA had some in certain isles in test stores and only a relatively small percentage of shoppers noticed they were there !! OLED and POLEDs are the next generation and they will certainly add something new.
The general consensus ,At the moment, is that it works well alongside traditional POP and perhaps only about 5% of traditional POP will be replaced by this technology in the next 5 years.
I have a copy of the presentations on CD if anyone is really interested , i think the large Screenprinters may have more to be concerned with than the average Signmaker.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

You could use any one of the various aluminum composite sheets on the market , colours are available in 3050 x 1500 , this would give you a base for your signs, a silver colour may blend in more easily with the colour of the corrugated fascia or just white if neutral is preferred.
The selling point for these products over Aluminum is the lightweight and no scrap value. long term exterior use is not a problem.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi there,
Vinyl with an emulsion(water based) adhesive will go milky when applied wet as the water will mix with the adhesive and change its structure , it wont harm its adhesive properties which is why some economy films have an emulsion acrylic adhesive , to avoid the milky effect use a solvent acrylic adhesive as solvent and water don’t mix !!

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Guys,

Proper vehicle wrap vinyl is also cast (taxi wrap is not the same as it doesn’t cover the whole vehicle) its just thicker ,which makes it easier to handle large area sheets. It should also have a re positionable adhesive which means you don’t need to get it right first time as lifting and re-applying within reason is easier. All digital print vinyl has the same adhesive for this reason.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Brian,

Steve asked me to send you a swatch , can you give me a call with your address and ill get 651/551/751c off to you.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Good thinking Moonbrat — i suspect that isn’t your real picture though ???

Cd’s available just contact your branch and ask , it can be downloaded from Orafols web-site as well i believe.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI There,

Shane is right most Cast manufacturers will colour match as little as 300m2 , £264 is a good price especially if you only have to buy 1 roll, the benefit of being self coloured is you will have no hassle with colour fade or affecting conformability and a lot less hassle i guess.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

I should have mentioned we have had a limited supply of “Old swatches” delivered in the last couple of days and can send them out , we have loads of 751 cast swatches but are trying to avoid handing them out as no doubt customers will ask for those colours we don’t keep. You will need to contact your local branch.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Hugh,

Yes we do supply Danny , he does very well in an area we didn’t have any representation in. I am glad you like the Vinyl.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi All,

751 cast isn’t launched yet , its only the existing 751 colours that are available therefore about 30 colours in the new swatch are not yet stocked by Europoint , we will shout about it when they are — coming soon as they say !!! we should be explaining that when we hand the swatch out.
Vinyl corporation don’t stock 751 in either cast or Calandered.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Thanks John , Oracal high tack , its a rubber based adhesive for low energy surfaces.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Paper application tape only has a shelf life of 6 months , after this the adhesive begins to emulsify which makes it very difficult to pull away from the roll , the adhesion value drops significantly aswell so it will struggle to lift the letters. Because its a paper liner air can get to the adhesive which dries it out causing this problem.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

As no-one has replied to you , Nikalite can be bought for around £12.00 lm in 1220mm wide , it has a 3/4 year life.

mod-edit

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

While its good you want to use this more expensive material the most economic option would be 10mm Correx or equivelent, its done in 8 x 4 or 3000 x 762 for exactly that purpose , and also Site boards.
Very lightweight and very strong , depends what quality you want to achieve.
All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Stating the obvious here but heating after to KEEP in the recesses only works with cast vinyl , you are re-setting the vinyl by heating it up beyond whatever temperature it will reach during its working life thus stopping it from re-setting during hot weather.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Carrie — you are spot on — not rolling it only referred to Normal vinyl , banner vinyl is fine, we always recommend to keep it as flat as stress free as possible for 24 hours while the adhesive cures properly.

Cheers

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi guys, DONT roll it , banner Vinyl is very heavily plasticized, when a banner is rolled , stored , straightened etc in different temperatures the PVC moves so the banner Vinyl needs to as well.
Regular vinyl is far more stable (You don’t want normal vinyl shrinking etc) so if thats applied then the banner is rolled the banner stretches , when you un-roll it the banner goes back to its original shape but the vinyl remains stretched and you may”Piping” on the vinyl.
If you’re keeping it flat for 1 day though normal vinyl will be fine

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Nik, that was Chromomat you bought , were you using that on the VersaCamm ? good news if you were , in theory as its Low-solvent it should work on a sheet with a good coating but am not aware of anyone trying it.

assuming you need a reasonable quantity in 1500 x 190 then most reasonable size screen printers will print 5 up on a 1040 x 1550 press, there are a few in Yorkshire that would do that no problem.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Gordon,

I cant PM, but am in the Glasgow office tommorow would be happy to sort out a sample for you if you want to give me a call 0141 427 6111, the material is heavy weight self cling 450mic if am not around.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

lj1600 , Those bins are likely to be HDPE ( High Density Polyethylene) and yes thats exactly what Oracal High tack was made for — wheelie bins is another common usage , can supply samples if you give you know who a call…

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Best bet in the UK is Rennicks , they offer a trade service for this sort of thing , based in Runcorn 01928 579966 , they supply Nikalite reflective film from Nippon Carbide in China i think, if they cant supply kits in small quantities they will certainly put you intouch with one of their customers who can.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Guys ,

We dont stock Dibond but if no-one gets back to you from Alcan let me know and i will chase him up, they have 2 sales managers in the UK it must be one of them that posted it, ill get them to send a CD to Robert and he can copy and post them on to you.

Cheers

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Have a customer who uses 450mic flexible soft pvc for this (self cling), he reverse prints, then laminates with a 3m adhesive. It might be worth looking at if the volume is there.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Phil,

Please contact me at Europoint , i dont recognise your name and generally see most account forms, i can get to the bottom of why we apparantly dont want to know and hopefully resolve it.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Guys and Gal,

The reason nothing is sticking is that Rubber wellies are a low energy surface , this stops acids , oils, grime etc from attacking the rubber but also stops adhesive and ink from biting in aswell!! Oracal high tack is a Solvent rubber based adhesive made for such surfaces , you could print a yellow background and cut out the logo for the wellies, worth a try maybe?

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Dex,

Dewi is right about the 2 year polyester , its cheap but not for an extended outside life check your members price list, a cast chrome 5 year film will be availbale soon at around £16.00lm , Metamark do a carbon fibre effect- no idea of price though.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

A&P and Cox get deliveries from Avery all the time , they should be able to buy the vinyl you need in from Holland , whether they stock in the UK or not .

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Hi Guys,

Europoint dont keep 620 it would be either 1620 or 1640 , we call it Oracal 100 as its a 100mic face film compared to Fascals 80mic , both are water based adhesives and will go milky when applied wet, to save with the numbers just ask for Oracal Wet Tack , same face film but with a solvent adhesive which allows for putting on wet without the milky effect.

Robert i have some PMs and dont want people to think i am rude by not answering , can you help? promise to keep it non-biased, Dewi if you read this the Mirrored leaf effect is available but still struggling on the Bright chrome , Orafol have advised end March now.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Guys,

As you ask, all Orajet Vinyl 3164/3651/3551 and 3951 has grey re-positionable adhesive, it makes for easier working with large colour graphics, its a solvent adhesive.

All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Cant help wonder how this is different from Solicitors/ Lawyers giving you an estimate for a job in hand then charging you far more!!! This would appear even worse but it must be legal.
I just feel it for you a bit Phil as a £1400 job is a nice one to get. If i put a price in writing and the customer gets back to me and says he needs help or has a budget to get to etc ( I fall for them all ) ill help if i can, but i dont have to re-quote ,i guess the difference is you knew something possibly underhand was going on whereas my help would have been in good faith.
All the best

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

You could print onto white self cling, while it will be re-usable to a point you would need to keep the release paper handy for putting the sticker back on to before re-applying elsewhere, bit of a pain!

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Just remember when checking prices to compare the performance characteristics of the film 751 Premium Cal has for example min outside life B&W 8 years / Cols 7 Years / Mets 5 years
is 60mic thick ( Very thin for callandered film )
Solvent acrylic adhesive ( Not emulsion acrylic)

To name but a few

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

What Manchester sent you was probably Orajet 3451 which is Digital Print Banner Vinyl , they should also keep 700mm wide Banner Material 440gsm i know its kept in 1370mm wide.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

HI Frank, Forget trying to print Contravision with an hp5500 , its a great machine but not for un-coated media , if you have someone friendly nearby with eco / full solvent best to get in touch with them , if your not sure get in touch and ill give you a couple of names. Robert could do it for you.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Europoint / A&P / Cox Plastics can all deliver in that area no problem

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

3951 is recommended for both Solvent and Eco Solvent , there are profiles available on disc by either the stockist or on Rolands website, Stephen in Auckland when you say “coated cast” assuming you dont mean for a waterbased Printer ? Vinyl for solvent media isnt coated as such it has been through an extra level of checking for flaws and has also been treated to reduce static and hold the dot but its not a physical coating.
Robert if you contact your supplier he can get you say 5m of 3951 to test for the site, if you ask nicely maybe some 290f as you should always overlaminate for best long term results.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

You are right Shane , its 3951 and stocked in the UK in sizes 760 / 1370 + (1520 in a couple weeks)for the Eco and Full solvent machines , orafol recommend 290f cast overlaminate to go with it and is stocked in the same widths.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Coburn have a distributer in Wales or they did not long ago , can buy by the metre , Metamark do Carbon effect and other strange things , Chalkboard vinyl etc.
Coburn will tell you if you ring them or e-mail. Ritrama do Prismatic film although not a vast range.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Not allowed to do the selling bit on the forum so cant mention who from , so i can say with i am sure Roberts blessing is , check the group deal from one of the advertisers , 8 x 4 white Correx is about £4.50 colours including black about £7 ish , delivery is free to most areas of the country as we have warehouses in most major cities.
Rob if i am not allowed to do this let me know !!! i really just want to try and help.

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

Check the web for Anchor Magnets or Bisbell Magnetics , a quick phone call and they will be able to fax a copy to you , all the usual stuff about no wax / polish , up to 70mph etc

[Cammy – Europoint Display]

A flat bed digital print direct to substrate would probably cost around £25m2 for the print + apprx £4.50 for an 8 x 4 board so apprx cost for 6 full colour boards would be £80 , an Inca Eagle flat bed could probably print an 8 x 4 board in about 10-15 mins once they had the artwork , similar machines are around, if your stuck for someone in your area to get a quote fromlet me know , if you shop around you might get it cheaper than that , Digital print to Vinyl would cost a similar amount but the hassle of applying it unless you had a laminator would not be worth while.
