  4. Roland - VS Print & Cut (CMYK + White + Metallic)

    It doesn't have to run uni-direction to print metallic.it works bi-directional, you can also print cmyk Mt & Wh all at the same time,its freaky to watch,I did it withsome window decals that had to be backed white with metallic ink in the middle. The capping stations are crap tho,had to give it...

  11. Helmet Wrap!

  12. Screen color not print color

    This is always an issue, I tend to only use rolans colours when designing,that way I know what they will come out like,the same colour varys on different media aswell,I have a roland colour swatch printed in standard mode & the 'max impact' mode as I like the strong colours max impact gives, but...
  13. Helmet Wrap!

    It was about 2hrs to wrap it black,used a touch of primer here & there. The templating. & design was about 6-8hrs and the application of the prints was about an hour,a days work really. We made the printed bits overlay the two joins to hide them & to stop them peeling back!
