Digital Printed P/C Electric Letter Faces

< Electric display features digitally imaged  letters and  upper contour cabinet faces.
1. Faces are digitally imaged on translucent white vinyl and clear laminated for UV protection.
2. Imaged vinyl is applied to translucent white 1/8″ acrylic.
3. Upper contour section illuminated with 6500 15 mil white neon.
4. Lower P/C letters illuminated with clear red 15 mil neon.
5. The digital imaged vinyl is applied to the first surface of the CNC cut acrylic then trimmed back to the edge of the acrylic.
6. Once the vinyl is on the faces, the letters are trim capped.

.   Subtle line .025 greater than the acrylic CNC  cut line is included in the digital print file. To guide a rough hand cut*
(or CNC cut) before applying the individual letter prints to the CNC cut acrylic letter faces.

<  Then when applied, the vinyl is hand trimmed to the edge of the acrylic and the letters trim capped.


   

.    * A production decision was made not to specify the CNC cutting of the vinyl for the letters. Since the digital imaged face vinyl was outsourced. This was only the 2nd such display to have first surface digital vinyl for the letter faces. The first digital letter face job by the preferred sign fabrication shop was the Paradise Picture Frame wall sign.
.     That sign was handled the same as this Gold Scissors display. The paradise vinyl application went well with  the "rough" hand cut method.
.     The plan now is to specify the full vinyl CNC cutting for the next such display project. A file for the letters will be supplied slightly larger than the CNC file for the acrylic letters. Then after application, the letter face vinyl will be hand trimmed back to the actual acrylic.
