  1. Buyer Beware! Avery Supreme Wrap Material.

    I'm no chemist, but why not use grey tinted adhesive on these?!
  2. Buyer Beware! Avery Supreme Wrap Material.

    Exact same issue...exact same color!
  3. Need Help Elite 1600XJx

    I purchased a sign company (my 2nd currently) that has an Elite 1600ZJx Laminator. It blew a fuse and my employee tossed it before checking the correct size/type. I contacted Tubelite and they don't have the answer. I do know I can use a 3-5 Amp and it's a "slow blow" fuse, but it looks like...
  4. I'm stumped, help please

    I think I use to buy these from Burlane
  5. Need Help Pricing Vehicle Wraps

    We start with a sf price, then add any addt'l labor & design. Keeps it simple & efficient. $10-$12 psf is standard in FL
  6. Need Help Royal Soverign 65" Laminator Issue

    Always use matching vinyl/laminate. Silvering can be caused by lack of pressure or time between the rollers. Make sure materials are compatible, slow down your laminator, & stick with better medias...
  7. Help Please! Mottling On Wrap Film

    I hate to say it, but I'm starting to question Avery... I'm a die hard fan & have been for many years, but I have almost the exact same setup & same issues. We just paid $1700 to replace our Cyan head (which was testing perfectly). Helped a bit, but still not perfect. We actually ended up...
  8. Logo Advice And Opinions

    I love working on logos, but they can be tough sometimes. Lots of good suggestions here. I always design logos in black & white...if it looks good that way, adding color is easy. Yes, drop the Rage...it's outdated at this point. Also, I usually try to include a simple icon. I would try the...
  9. Need Help Color Variation From Panel To Panel

    Hey Julie, Yea, we've dealt with that before, but this is literally from the same file. We can put the entire file into the RIP and it will make the panels to fit the printer. So say, for instance, we have a 12' panel...the RIP will separate the file into 3 panels for output. Same file, same...
  10. Need Help Color Variation From Panel To Panel

    I'm having an issue with the panels of a wrap printing different colors. This is a constant problem and I can't seem to find an answer. This has happened to me for years with different variables. Here are my current specs: *Roland VP540i (perfect color tests) *Versaworks (updated) *Latest...
  11. Sign Spinner Board

    My suggestion would be to use strips of vinyl for edges, not fold over the print.
  12. Sign Spinner Board

    I usually apply the print or cut vinyl lettering to the sign and then "border" the sign with vinyl. These signs get dropped, bent, dented and abused constantly and although the edge border may not be perfect, it really works well and protects the spinners hands. I've never really had a problem...
  13. Sign Spinner Board

    I use 10mil Coro & cover the edges with vinyl strips. No handles
  14. Question Wall Vinyl Help.

    You don't need laminate for most wall films 6 mil or more. Make sure they didn't use low VOC paint...nothing sticks to that well. For textured, I like Wall Frog. Non textured, I use Avery MPI wall film. Definitely test first...
  15. Vehicle installation pricing

    No, the $2.50 is for "standard" vehicles. The price is adjusted for more difficult vehicles. You have to know what you're getting in to...
