One of a few quick turnaround industry-industry printers. They are good for large orders of banners, coroplast signs etc. Nice thing about them is it gives you the ability to bid on larger jobs than you can do within time frame or in house. There are other such businesses, like Firesprint who...

We use Arlon SLX CastWrap for things like this. Have not used the others mentioned, so can't give a comparison. But the Arlon is slideable, low initial tack, and requires post form heating to fully activate the adhesive.

Always good to meet in person - usually opens up more business. Phone, website, Facebook all work well - no need for printed binder (you are paperless, trendy)...

I'm in Flexi 19. At the bottom right is the default for stroke and fill. You can set them to no stroke and black fill and your preferred text style easily. In the lower right corner of Flexi is the default settings for stroke and fill - click on stroke then in the flyout window Fill/Stroke...

Rvinyl sells by the yard

A lot of large corporations take 60-90 days to pay. That is assuming the invoice reaches the correct person. Their operating capital essentially becomes a zero percentage loan that is never ending, only needs to be managed. You can huff and puff, but all that is likely to do is slow it down...

Chettah Wrap is a material designed by Frank Fellers (of Fellers.com, the Cowboy hat) and made in the USA. I don't see it on their site now - Fellers was recently bought out, so may be that Cheetah is his new business. We have always loved working with Avery, Arlon and 3M wrap vinyls - not so...

Cutting Ultraboard - use a straight edge, use a sharp blade (I use an Xacto), first cut use next to no pressure as it is a scoring cut, second pass a little weight, but start with blade on table so the edge will ride onto the material, third pass full weight and should go all the way through. Be...

You can trap the white. You can do it manually by creating a file for it or in your RIP or Print software (many offer this feature). We use Onyx on a FluidColor printer which uses TopHand print software and we can do it there. Other than that, time for a calibration on your printer.

Does anyone know the cause of the current shortage of black vinyl? Looks like it is impacting all brands in both cut vinyl and wrap vinyl.

I'm with Gino on this. I think the technique is wrong. We don't normally apply air egress wet. When we install a standard frosted, we usually use RapidTac or RightOn. Take a look at the product spec sheet (always a good idea before you use a product); I'm betting it says to lay dry

We have a Graphtec FC9000-160. One of the selling points was an upgraded eye to detect the marks. That said, might be possible your eye has something on it - dust, film, piece of cut vinyl. Other than that some things I always check: Lamination on crops marks has no silvering. Crops marks are...

Yes, in Versa Works (software for the Rolands)

I would slow the cutting speed down.

We use a different Roland, but you may need to adjust the "Blade Offset" in the Cut Controls dialog box of VersaWorks for this job. If it is not cutting all the way through the material, you can check the Cut Passes box and increase it from one to two or so (causing it to cut the whole thing...

Roland is a great choice - prints and cuts. Your budget might be a touch low though. The Roland has been bullet proof for us for years and is our second such. Just run a basic clean cycle every morning. We have the XR-640 and while it is not as good a plotter as a Graphtec or Summa, you can...

No. 3M 8508 is a 2.3mil 4yr overlaminate, Oraguard 290 is a 2.0mil 8yr. The 3M 8508 is meant for windows and walls, the Oraguard is meant for all uses including vehicle wraps. Price is very different. If you want a comparable 3M, try 8518 - it is a 8yr 2.0mil, though it costs more than the...

Yes, no problem. Try putting your reflective on a wrap vinyl and this should be fairly easy

We use that. Excellent cast lamination with UV protection and some graffiti resistance
