Damn! That's brutal. Luckily none of your other staff were injured or affected and that guy didn't do anything worse with the truck. I'd leave the blood stains to remind new hires not to mess around. (Kidding, not kidding)

No, I wouldn't use 3551, 3591, 3651 or most Orajet films for wrapping, or much else to be honest. I find they all shrink like crazy even when used on flat surfaces. You'll want to explore cast wrap combos. Every manufacturer will have a couple of offerings, and they will all be at the top end...

Yeah we've had ours for about 4 years and still going strong. Don't use white lots but when we do it's there and ready for us. Surprisingly the white nozzles all come back after a quick clean, despite rarely firing those channels.

I'd also be really curious to know if it's doable. Doesn't some sort of shaker or something have to be used?

I know this has been discussed before, but I wanted to start a new thread nonetheless. We've been getting more and more requests/opportunities to bid on large volume banner orders and I'd like to eventually add some sort of finishing equipment in house to increase our efficiency. Our...

Cool, thanks! I'm always on the hunt for new materials to prep substrates before printing. Our Oce Arizona is very finicky when it comes to prep.

Do you happen to have more details about the "Wonder Cleaner" on your list?

My first jobs out of high school were at a few dealerships.....Porsche/VW, Acura, Honda etc doing detailing. I remember at the Honda dealership they moved the payment "structure" to piecemeal....so a full detail would get x, rustproofing would get y, etc etc. The old lifers would always jump...

They won't, they're a bot...............

Well ain't that some shit. I've NEVER heard of this before.

Is going over the existing vinyl an option? Seems like it's in decent shape.

Exactly. Regardless of how stubborn/dull the customer is, don't let them dictate what kind of materials you'll use. Vinyl on the glass or a 3mm ACM panel installed over frames.

Welcome from Winnipeg! You'll find lots of good info here - don't hesitate to create new threads with questions that you have. Feel free to PM me if you'd rather. I'm no expert but have been doing this for a while. Cheers.

We have a custom built 600x600 profile that we use for 99% of our jobs. When we can get away with it and need a bit of extra speed we have a 300x900 profile we use, but not very often. Which RIP are you using? Inkset & configuration?

Nice promo vid! Love the part about not sorting them........ would be a huge time drain to get them all in order and obviously kill any efficiency gained by fast printers and flatbed cutters.

Thanks guys, I've passed this off to a local dye-sub printer.

Any ideas regarding the material in the attached picture? Looks almost like a jersey type material. For reference, banner is 3' across in the picture. Bonus points: Any chance of getting something like this that can be solvent or UV printed, or is this generally only a dye-sub type deal...

Welcome from Canada, where the ADA codes are (almost) non-existent when it comes to signage. I feel like this will eventually be a great opportunity for sign companies with ADA capability once the standards catch up.

Not that I'm trying to convince you to get a Mimaki UV printer, but we print our retractable banner inserts on our UCJV on PET GB 13oz banner. Works great. Ultraflex and most banner "brands" have a version of it.

Ah, I found it! Hope Neato doesn't mind me sharing. This specifically pertains to logo design but could easily be adapted to suit vehicle wraps. Hope this helps, good luck with the difficult customer(s)! (And no, you're not the one that's in the wrong here. That customer sounds painful to...
