We clean ours with Solv S1000 and a mircofiber cloth/rag before printing. Let dry completely (only about 15 seconds) after wiping evenly all in one direction. https://tubelitedenco.com/inx-solv1128.html There are several vendors, so check the pricing before ordering.

A cold lamination table is very useful. Like this Cut Work Table: https://cwtworktools.com/ You can use it to cold laminate, marry multiple colors of vinyl, apply vinyl to all sorts of flat substrates including reverse weeded vinyl onto acrylic sign faces with no bubbles.

1. Buy larger cardstock, print multiples butt against each other, lay sheet on the material, trim to individual pieces. 2. Buy UV printer, print jig of multiple cards to fit printer, lay cardstock in jigs (outlines), print directly on multiple cards. 3. Fold back a 1/4" of wax paper, align with...

We have done a lot of roll up doors on fire trucks. You have to make two slits at each joint - one above and one below the joint. If you just slit it in the middle the vinyl will catch water and dirt and pull away. We always trim them 1/32 or so inward from the joint so that shrinkage is not an...

Don't know of any, but would suggest you consider a FC9000-160 too - just as good, have seen some pop up earlier this year, and has a better optical eye.

That sounds like your printer needs a calibration and/or or has a few clogged nozzles. If you print at high quality do you still get that banding?

I have only ever put vinyl on finished painted wall, but some advice: paint is dry to touch soon after painting but off gases/internally dries over 30 days - so best not to rush install, always do a test to see how well is adheres - you can use heat to help, but wrap vinyl is not meant to stick...

Just got a pack. That price is amazing. Thanks for the tip

We use a Graphtec to cut out the magnet. We have to coat the magnetic side of the material with three layers of application tape to keep it from sticking. We also put a small table in front of the plotter and have one person on each side so the weight of the material is supported as it feeds...

It looks like the roll of vinyl has been laying on its side, leaving a subtle indentation. When the ink is sprayed as it prints, the droplets take a certain amount of time to hit the media; indentations are slightly lower, so the ink travels further and misses small areas. But bottom line is it...

Haven't tried a Yeti - but maybe Convex for Helmets if you have some

You are a professional, so treat them like you would any other customer. If you have charged anyone before, charge them, if you have given files for free to another customer, give it to them for free. Maybe you want the work back one day, maybe you don't. But protect yourself from potential...

Gray Adhesive is so the vinyl can cover over without showing what is behind. It is not perfect, the raised sections will show there is something in "x" shape, but none of the background color bleeds through. Wrap vinyls use a gray backer and we all know such vinyl removes pretty well and usually...

Never use an intermediate laminate on a cast product. Never use a regular intermediate laminate on a polymetric product. You can use cast lamiante on about everything - our go to is Oracal 290 gloss laminate. We use Briteline Optically Clear Wrap laminate on intermediate vinyl and those jobs...

Keep in mind GF830 is meant to be a cold stretch with a post form heat.

Glantz has them as well and they do ship. Metallic Gold is running around $160 per quart!

Good stuff. We have been using for years. Another we like is General Formulations 830 Wrap vinyl and 831 Laminate Works just as well and comes in about $200 total less.

Let me say what you don't want to hear first: you should have matched the vinyl to the ribbon material. Running a test when working with new material should always come before running the whole job. Next, you haven't said what vinyl you are currently using. That might be useful in trying to...

Clean it with a surface prep for plastics like Solv S1000 or Supply55 AP3155

Is there a difference between the White, Black and Silver squeegees besides color? Is one color softer than the others or harder than the others?
