We have had a financially amazing customer for 10 years now and for the most part things have gone smoothly until the last few years. The grandson of this particular company has become more of a dominant role and his attitude is getting worse. He treats his employees terribly and I've seen this...

We have a white roll and a black roll of 751RA from oracal and from what I can tell this is what is happening to just the black. Anyone else having this issue? I can't seem to clear it up with heat.

I currently own (fully paid) 1 Roland RF 640 Versa Express which was purchased about 4 years ago and a Roland XR 640 which was purchased about 7 or 8 years ago. As of now, the print head on the RF is not good. It prints ok but needs to be replaced so this printer is for the most part taking up...

We have a new shop currently under construction, 1,824 sq. ft total. 988 garage space and 836 production/office area. There is a large opening between the 2 spaces so it's mostly open concept. I plan to concrete polish and seal the garage floor for ease of cleaning and nice look. What...

I did some checking but couldn't quickly find anything on this topic yet so sorry if this has been discussed. I have a customer who want to replace the rally stripes on their 2015 chevy camaro, hood, trunk and spoiler. The current ones are too dark and they want to go lighter. They are in great...

Upfront...my customer is only interested in us using 3M materials for their applications. I've asked my suppliers and am using what they recommend but I'd like to here what the users have to say. What 3M digital and non-digital/cut vinyl would you recommend for the best and longest lasting...

We were able to put some scrap vinyl to good use yesterday and visit my 90 year old Grandmother as well. :)

I have 12" formed plastic letters to mount on a horizontal corrugated metal building (sorry, my phone died that day and I don't have a pic.) Corrugations are spaced 9" apart. Building is a light grey and letters are black. The install is about a 1.5 hour drive and I really don't want to...

I was preparing designs for production and something that keeps happening, that I thought I share, and see if anyone else has the same or similar issue... We do some work for our local YMCA and every time I need to go to their file to pull a graphic up I end up singing the D#@n Village People...

I was asked to wrap a 30ft trailer, measured, estimated cost and send a quote requiring a deposit. Customer approved but is trying to avoid paying the sales tax. I told him I would need a sales use tax certificate of exemption form filled out. So he sends me a department of revenue seller's...

With the new year upon us and time to reflect on improvements to be made, I though I'd ask everyone what are your thoughts, processes, tips and ideas for achieving and keeping a clean space? We produce and install regular vehicle graphics to wraps, digital printed labels/decals to banners and...

My goal is to speed up drying time, preferably be able to laminate right away. I have 2 eco-solvent roland printers. Does anybody have or know of a drying unit? I've seen several online but I'm curious to know if any work for immediate lamination after printing. This really isn't meant to...

What do you think could be causing these lines and how can we fix them? Roland Versa Express RF 640 3 years old happens on all media mostly in blue and green colors Has happened since I received the printer, haven't been able to pinpoint it and have dealt with it Company that sold us the...

Lately we're doing a lot more digital print than cut vinyl and just to keep things simple and avoid taking rolls off and on of both laminate and vinyl, we stick to mostly Avery 2105 and 1360 for the laminate. We'll use cast 1105 for complex wraps and 3M and avery cast color change for color...

Our Roland RF Versa-express 640 is running through a cleaning cycle before every print. This recently started happening and we're going through a lot of ink. Is there something we can do to fix this? Has anyone else had this happen?

Is there a merchant member or any other source for clear labels, contour cut to a custom shape, white ink and smaller quantities 20 to 50 ea 2 sizes? I've been cutting decals out of white vinyl. Sizes are approx 4" x 4" and 8" x 8". They are taking approx. 15 min per decal to weed and tape, so...

My biggest customer, by far, orders pan formed translucent faces from us. We don't make them, we measure, layout the design and a local supplier/fabricator makes them and my customer picks them up from the supplier directly. So there's not a lot of work on our part. Is a 10% markup on something...

Does anyone know what font the "farmhouse" is?

These are fuel tankers paint is in great condition. Material is Oracal 651 but I have also seen it on 751 and 951. Not sure if we installed or if the customer installed this one. (If customer, it's possible they use rapid tac. We don't) Weather -40 to +90 F I'm 90 percent sure they use pressure...

Any idea on this one?
