  1. Need Help Can you identify these 3M Vinyls?

    Photo of the gray adhesive isn't the best, but many of the adhesives look the same, so you can't really tell them apart by sight since there are SO many of them. I've never seen black adhesive before and we use a decent amount of 3M. I'd just call up whoever you bought them from and get the...

  3. How to Sell Gerber Edge Foils?

    See my post above (PDF attachment). Shoot me a PM and we can discuss.
  4. new hardware

    IDK, but anywhere close to you that builds custom computers should be able to hook you up. You'll want dual SSD 500GB+ Hard drives and all the RAM you can stuff into it. A good video card is also a bonus, but not AS critical. Use all quality name-brand parts (not knockoffs) and the fastest...
  5. Laminator for acrylic?

    We produce a lot of 2nd surface prints on Acrylic. We route our boards and clean them off, haven't tried mounting first then cutting because we would be worried about correct registration of the cut to print. We print them in reverse for 2nd surface, using 3M clear cast vinyl (when it is...
  6. Free Stuff For Y'all

    I had the pleasure of making templates for two separate customers today that both had Spartan boxes on their chassis. This one is a 2022(?) on a 2022 Chevrolet chassis. I added a ladder on the ladder rack, as one usually sits there and would obstruct the visuals in that area.

    Spartan Utility Box for 2012 Econoline Chassis, 10% Scale.
  8. HP Latex 360 has been sitting for more than a year. Am I screwed?

    Throw some new heads in it and run some cleanings and it "should" be good to go as long as it has been stored in a good location.
  9. Wrap material alternatives (the saga continues July 2022)

    We haven't been having any issues with 3M 180c/lam any time recently that I know of? However, regular 220/7125 white is on backorder...
  10. Unrealistic requests/deadlines

    For jobs like this price it so that it is worth it to you. Airplane decals aren't cheap, and neither are emergency or rush jobs. On a related note, we did emergency/rush decals for an airplane a week ago in a similar situation. However, we just had to recreate the artwork (for EVERY decal on...
  11. Glo in the Dark vinyl

    Gerber makes a glow in the dark vinyl 15" x 10 yards. It is expensive. We have used it before and it does actually hold its charge pretty long. https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Products/GERBERLUMINOUSFILM We still have like 6ft of it in stock currently, if you'd like call and get a quote and we...

  13. Gerber Plotter Comparison

    Another thing to consider is acquiring punched vinyl for sprocket-fed plotters. In today's market they are in the minority, so lower priorities on those materials. That leads to longer wait times and possibly materials being completely unavailable. We are currently waiting on multiple rolls of...
  14. Food Trailer Wrap Question

    It looks like at some point the background image resolution got set up poorly. I'd assume it was a designer error, but one this bad is pretty easy to catch. Especially if they have already used the flame artwork, the grill artwork is simple enough to run through Gigapixel to upscale it to the...
  15. Looking for a good condition Summa F Series

    We do not cut any of those heavier substrates on our wide format plotters here, only on our smaller sprocket fed (Gerber) plotters. As far as long runs of 10'+ print-cuts, the Graphtec does those perfectly. Wall mural panels are usually hand-cut here as they're usually full panels, but I don't...

  17. 2021 Ford Explorer door handles

    We just did a few 2021s and on one of them we ran into major issues getting it reassembled. It ended up at the body shop to get a new handle assembly (since Ford wont just sell you the little part) to the tune of around $500. The best solution our installers came up with is to back out the bolt...
  18. Circle sticker issues

    The issue 99% of the time with circle decals not being correctly centered is equipment issues. Cheaper cutters, especially printers that are also cutters usually struggle with these.

  20. Where to buy high performance (cast) black vinyl?

    We have been using 3M 2080 occasionally when we are unable to get wider 180c black rolls in. Costs more, but you can get it.
