    eahicks, did Uline print your logo on them, or did you have that done somewhere else?
  14. Question about installation preference regarding inks - NOT about vinyl.

    This question has nothing to do with cost, brands, materials or anything like that. This question is very specifically for vehicle wrap installers regarding their preference of print technology. Do installers prefer prints made on Latex printers or Solvent printers? Is there even any...
