How to Avoid Screen Pinholes

How to Avoid Screen Pinholes

Screen printers face a variety challenges, but there is a solution for every issue; you just have to know where to look.
Pinholes represent a common screen-printing issue. They are a stencil defect that reduces production efficiency and print quality. These imperfections in the stencil are tiny, transparent dots that appear in the screens after exposure. Printers who battle pinholes spend more time and money trying to complete a job.

What adjustments should I make when installing graphics in colder weather?

What adjustments should I make when installing graphics in colder weather?

As we start to experience a fluctuation in our weather as spring arrives, it's important to understand how to take care of your graphics when the temperature drops. Pressure-sensitive vinyl is certainly not immune to the drops in temperature. Most adhesives have an application range from approximately 50° to 80°Fahrenheit. (Be sure to check product performance guides for exact installation range for specific products.) This temperature range refers not only to the ambient temperature but also to the temperature of the substrate. If the temperature is too cold, the adhesive on the graphic will not stick. The film itself may also become stiff and difficult to work with. Some films can even become brittle and will crack if they are too cold.

ISA Sign Expo 2018: Do More With Less

ISA Sign Expo 2018: Do More With Less

Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center played host to more than 20,000 attendees and almost 600 exhibitors across 221,000 square feet at the ISA Sign Expo March 22-24. The event caters to sign shops as well as wide-format print service providers – and those who straddle the line between both of those worlds. And perhaps those who straddle that line are the perfect illustration of what we heard repeated at the show: how can you do more with what you already have?
