  1. laminate or not

    Factory graphics are not made on digital printers and they don't use regular sign vinyls. If you're making graphics for vehicles with a digital printer, they have to be laminated. Period. Not that there aren't individuals selling graphics on ebay and Pinterest which aren't laminated. But they...

  10. Print laminate cut SMALL graphics?

    Are people so lame nowadays that they think everything has to be printed or that it's the only way to letter vehicles?
  11. I am so SICK of this problem!!! (lettering not sticking to painted walls)

    It really comes down to people painting their houses and businesses on the inside with paint that claims to clean more easily, "crayon wipes right off," "markers clean off easily," and so on. They do that by making the paint nonstick. And it is indeed nonstick. The only way around it if they...
  12. Particular Graphic Eats Vinyl While Cutting

    Slowing down the plotter will help a lot. But if the decal is just all black silhouettes and you do a lot of it, you'd do even better to have the company buy a roll of black vinyl (intermediate would have same or better life than what you're using, high performance would have double the life)...
