- How to take a care of magnetic sign? (Magnetic Caring tips from manufacture)
- Preparing Magnetic-Receptive Surfaces
- Before affixing magnetic sheet to a metal surface, be sure all surface paints, clear coats and waxes are cured (hardened).*
- Clean the metallic surface and the magnet with mild detergent.
- Wipe with a soft cloth or allow to dry. *(Approximate curing times: paint—90 days; clear coat—60 days; wax—2 days.)
- Applying Flexible Magnet
- Affix to smooth, flat or gently curved metallic surfaces.
- Make sure the entire magnet is flat against the metal surface. Do not place over protrusions (molding, decals, pin striping, etc.) or concave areas. There must be NO air pockets.
- The magnet itself should be at a room temperature of 60°F (16°C) or above when installed to achieve best results.
- Do not apply magnet that has been curled with the magnet side out. The magnet may not attach properly to the metallic surface resulting in lifted corners or air gaps which will weaken its holding strength. Follow instructions for Storing Flexible Magnet.
- If you place the magnet in the wrong position, completely remove the magnet from the surface and reaffix. Lift at sides and not at corners to remove. Do not pull the magnet across the surface, or it may stretch due to the resistance caused by the high magnetic strength.
- Do NOT use on horizontal metal surfaces exposed to direct sunlight (such as automobile hoods), temperatures exceeding 160ºF (71ºC) or temperatures below -15ºF (-26ºC). Exposure to cold weather will make the magnet more brittle so use caution when handling.
- Be aware that long-term use on surfaces frequently exposed to sunlight (such as vehicles) can result in uneven fading of the surface because the magnet-covered area is shielded from ultraviolet rays.
- Do NOT use on non-metallic body fillers, simulated wood grain siding and repainted surfaces.
NOTE: Doors and panels on some vehicles are not made of steel. This product will not work on aluminum and plastic surfaces. - We recommend rounded corners for magnetic vehicle signage.
- Cleaning Flexible Magnet
- To guard against moisture and dirt buildup between the magnet and the metal surface (particularly on outdoor applications), remove the magnet at regular intervals. Clean both the magnet and metal surface with mild detergent; wipe with a soft cloth or allow to air-dry. (For vehicle-mounted signs, remove and clean DAILY.)
- After waxing and polishing, allow 2 days for wax to cure before applying magnets.

- Is there background on lettering? -No, the vinyl lettering we offer is computer die cut, sign lettering which only the letter itself sticks on the surface you are apply on.
- Can you make letters with Reflective vinyl? -Yes, we can make lettering with Engineer grade reflective vinyl. at price of 2X of our regular lettering price, just ask for "reflective vinyl" at checkout, we will adjust your order.

Design
Q: How do I know if my file is good enough for printing?
A: Mainly you should check with the person who designed it. If the file has not been created yet, you should inform the person designing it about the specifications for printing.
A: You got files. We got ways for you to send them
- As you place the order, simply upload your file using “Upload File” button provided. Once your order is placed, our designers will get your file(s) and will check to make sure they are good to print.
- Forgot to Send your File(s) - Don’t worry. Our experienced designers will see that your file is missing. Our designer will email you to ask you for a file. Simply reply back to that email with your file(s).
- Have too many files - Again, don’t worry. We know you may have a lot of logos on the Step and Repeat. If you have more than three logos, simply email us all your logos. And, please include your order number on your email so we know that it is you.
Q: What kind file do you accept?
A:
- Vector Files: These files can be sized to whatever size and still maintain the clarity. The file extensions are: .pdf, .ai, .eps.
- Image Files: These files have set properties and may not be stretched to bigger sizes. The file extensions are: .jpg, .png, .tif
- Resolution: All file formats must have a minimum of 100 dpi resolution at 100% of the final print size. Images designed for the web typically cannot be used for printing as they have a low resolution. Print images need to be created at 300 dpi or there will be a substantial drop in the image quality. Larger print size can be scaled down to 25% - 50% and must be created at 300 dpi or higher.
- Color Mode: All color artwork and/or images must be provided in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color mode.
- Note: Changing the extension does not make a file vector. Simply send the file to our designers without changing the extension and they will advise you as to what needs to be done.
Q: Why is the image file I uploaded pixilated on my print?
A:
- The file is a low resolution image (more likely off the internet).
- Low resolution image will be pixilated when enlarged on the banner.
- Print images need to be created at 300 dpi (or higher) or there will be a substantial drop in the image.
- A simple test is to zoom in on your image. If it's like the image to the right, than the image is a low resolution image and should not be used.
