    For custom signs in La Mesa, CA and large format printing in La Mesa, CA projects, 858 Graphics recommends drawing a 1pt magenta line to cut. This must be provided on a separate layer. Please ensure it’s not flattened on the printed art, as this line will be used as the precise cut line.

  • Our materials come default at 4 foot by 8 foot. These materials include foamcore, dibond, PVC, styrene, ultraboard, gatorboard, cardstock, coroplast, and acrylic.  If requested, we have the ability to order these in custom sizes.  Call you customer service rep to find out more!

  • At 858 Graphics in La Mesa, CA, we use stud mounts for signs and dimensional letters to create professional, durable installations. These threaded metal mounts range from ¾″ to several inches long. Each sign or letter is drilled and tapped to receive threaded studs, which are pressed into pre-drilled wall holes and secured with adhesive or anchors.

    Our sign mounting hardware provides strong support, whether you need blind stud mounts for a clean, flush appearance or mounts that extend slightly off the wall for added depth and style.

  • At 858 Graphics in La Mesa, CA, we offer custom acrylic prints from 6 inches to 10 feet, with larger images printed in panels. Choose from ⅛, ¼, ½, or 1-inch thicknesses—¼-inch is most popular for its balance of cost and impact. Ideal for wall art, signage, photo prints, and corporate displays, our acrylic prints offer durability, clarity, and elegance.

  • At 858 Graphics in La Mesa, CA, our custom acrylic prints can be mounted in any style, but using adhesive directly on the back may damage the print. For larger or thicker prints, we recommend standoff mounting to keep your acrylic away from the wall and protect the image. 858 Graphics also offers professional acrylic print installation services, ensuring a secure, polished, and durable display for your wall art, signage, or photo prints.

  • At 858 Graphics in La Mesa, CA, protect your acrylic prints by cleaning only the acrylic face with a feather duster or soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, or cleaning the backing. For grimy prints, use a diluted vinegar solution to keep your custom acrylic wall art and signage vibrant and scratch-free.

  • At 858 Graphics in La Mesa, CA, our custom acrylic prints are highly durable and resistant to shattering, cracking, or breaking under normal use. The glossy acrylic surface may scratch if not cleaned properly, but the UV-resistant and waterproof acrylic protects your archival print, keeping images vibrant and long-lasting. While printed with UV-cured archival ink, your acrylic print could theoretically last up to 75 years. For best results, keep your acrylic wall art, signage, or photo prints away from direct sunlight and harsh elements to preserve color and quality.

  • At 858 Graphics in La Mesa, CA, we offer reverse-printed acrylic prints, where your image is printed on the back of clear acrylic, creating a prismatic, glass-like effect. When mounted, the printed side faces the wall, protected by the acrylic surface, ensuring your custom acrylic wall art, signage, or photo prints remain scratch- and scuff-resistant. While the print is waterproof, reverse printing adds extra protection for long-lasting, vibrant images.
