  2. Do you know where to get vector art like this?

    I have a customer looking to do some traditional cut vinyl "stripes" for the sides of her car. She wants them to be "girly" but modern. Flowers, tribal, swooshes, etc. Does anybody know a site where I can show her a bunch of options, then I can download the artwork to use? Free or Pay...
  3. Discussion Making Translucent Sign Faces / Need Advice

    Hi all. I have a customer with an illuminated sign cabinet, that has a clear pan-face sign in it. He wants me to wrap the pan-face, but he wants the vinyl applied to the inside of the pan-face "because that's how it was". He peeled off the old vinyl. It was red die-cut oracal translucent...

  5. Remove adhesive residue from shrinking wall wrap?

    One year ago, my team installed a large wall wrap in a hotel lobby, that is 6 ft. tall x 30 ft. long. We overlapped 6 sheets of high-tack vinyl 1/2". Fast forward to the present and now the vinyl has shrunk 1/8" at every seam and left adhesive exposed. The hotel manager wants the adhesive...

  7. My Roland Versacamm has decided to stop reading crop marks. Help!

    I have been using a Roland Versacamm VS-640 for the past 5 years. I run sheets of decals that are 54 in. wide x 40 in. long. I use crop marks. I remove the sheets after they print, laminate them, then reload them into the Versacamm to cut. Everything has been fine for years, until recently...
  8. Optically Clear Laminate for Window Perf?

    Which brand of Optically Clear cast laminate is the best to use on perforated window graphics? Sometimes I question if the laminates advertised as optically clear, truly are. For example, I just used Arlon 3200 on a window, and I feel drunk looking through it. Everything is "fuzzy" and I...

  10. Is there a way to set more crop marks in Roland Versaworks?

    If I design a 5 inch x 5 inch decal that requires printing, laminate and cutting, send it to Versaworks and set my repeats to 200 with crop marks, so that I can laminate the sheet, reload and cut, odds are really good my contour cut will drift towards the end of cutting process and I will lose a...

  12. Flexi just started doing this; does anybody, familiar with Flexi, know why?

    For some reason, when I copy something in FlexiSIGN-PRO (version 10.5.1), then paste it, it drops the copied item wherever it wants to on the screen. It used to paste the item on my cursor arrow, where I could move it around, then click the mouse where I would like it to drop. This is not a...
