  1. Need a transfer tape on a liner that can be contour cut before applying to vinyl

    Yes and no. I see what you are saying and agree for most signage or standard “decals” that’s the way to go. Do a YouTube search for “jeep hood decal” and let me know the ratio of installation videos you see that do it your way vs the way I’ve described needing it done. I exclusively do vehicle...
  2. Need a transfer tape on a liner that can be contour cut before applying to vinyl

    I got in a sample roll of MT80P Transfer Tape today. Ran a few test cuts. It cut perfectly.
  3. Need a transfer tape on a liner that can be contour cut before applying to vinyl

    I completely agree. And I've been contently doing it the standard way for years. I have guy interested in buying/dropshipping my products that he'd be reselling on his website. He sells vehicle accessories and is getting into the graphics side of things now. I've seen his numbers and he...
  4. Need a transfer tape on a liner that can be contour cut before applying to vinyl

    Thats definitely something I could do and have though of. There's a couple considerations that are involved which is why I had wanted to do it this way. Maybe someone could change my mind with a better idea.. 1. I would be doing this for both printed and unprinted vinyl. I actually outsource...
  5. Need a transfer tape on a liner that can be contour cut before applying to vinyl

    I havent searched much but found an oracal product MT80P that is on a liner. Im purchasing a small quantity to try on my graphtec cutter. Does anyone have experience with any transfer tape that comes on a liner and can be cut on a cutter? Im looking to cut the transfer tape separately and apply...
  6. Discussion Would you fire this employee?

    Fire him and if you can legally dock his pay then do that as well. That’s not just workplace anger, it vandalism.
  7. Graphtec FC9000 Cross Cut Feature with Barcode

    Would like to know the solution to this as well. We just have to send the jobs separately so it crosscuts where/when it’s supposed to.
  8. Discussion What's the largest paper template you ever put up?

    Nope. 250x72 for some interior signage/display for a University I taught at.
  9. How do you pack extra large decals?

    The problem with us is rolling that tight cause the vinyl to release from the backer, not the transfer tape. We’ve had customers that unroll it and install and can clearly see “lines” in the adhesive where there was just too much stress from being rolled too tightly. I rolled up a set of...
  10. Ghost Reflective - Dark Gray Truck

    I’ve got some black reflective and it’s not like black vinyl. I’d say it’s a dark gray and might be what you are looking for.
  11. How do you pack extra large decals?

    We do quite a bit that is 120" or longer. If premasked the minimum size roll I'd ship something that large in would be the boxes the vinyl is shipped to me in (roughly 7" interior dimension). Even that is iffy. If you can ship in 10" or larger that would be optimal. Roll them decal side out. I...
  12. Multi Location Vehicle Graphics - better way to manage

    Sounds interesting but I’m having a hard time following what exactly is happening and what the need for so many locations. Can you elaborate?
  13. Interesting sign client bought from etsy

    It would be way more trouble than it is worth to delete and open new accounts. It’s more than likely they just guessed at who they bought it from and weren’t correct.
  14. Finding jobs with new UV Printer

    Something I learned along the way was that if you make smaller items that other smaller printers can do, you’ll be competing with the little guys that can afford the small printers. Just like making small decals with a huge cutter, you are trying to compete with all the stay at home moms with a...
  15. Pricing 420sq/ft of Vinyl Lettering

    For stuff like this I always multiply my material cost by my custom coefficient then add in my very conservative estimated cost per hour or per day. Your equipment will play a big role in completion time but in my shop I’d be ballparking around $3500 for that job.

    Our first one was down roughly 50% of the time. Once for about 8 weeks but most of the time I was down for a week each. At the 11 month mark I had done enough research to realize I had a lemon. White ink leaking globs onto prints, white ink leaking into maintenance cartridge and onto other color...

    I can try. It’s been close to a year since I have the printer back to HP. If there was a way you could do a virtual meeting where you can share your screen I might be able to guide you through it. Since I deleted the printer from my computer I don’t know that I would be able to see what I...
  18. PPF Film ?

    If you’ve already done the ceramic coating you are probably out of luck. PPF literally cannot stick to the Ceramic Coating. One of the properties of a high quality Ceramic Coating is its ability to make the surface of your vehicle very slick. The liquid polymer in ceramic bonds with your...
  19. ONYX RipQueue - is it possible to print to PDF with graphtec cut marks?

    This. If you know the margins and settings for the reg marks you can draw them.
