well that picture is the vinyl fresh off the press

hey sorry all I thought I attached a picture with the original post, I guess my phone lied to me when it said it attached the image

its not installed anywhere that is fresh off the press

Is this a moisture problem? Or a manufacturer defect? The vinyl did sit idle for about a week and there was a significant temperature rise outside during that week

More so that he is a little slow at it and And I don't have the time to do it myself or else I would Like something that takes him 4 hours to do I can do in 2 hours

that was my first thought as well but the comments have been turned off on it, I have done some digging and cannot find any stateside, nearest iv found is Canada

do you know where to buy one state side?

My shop guys keep asking me if there is an auto peeler when it comes to cut vinyl especially lettering, does such a thing exist? I have never heard of one, nor and I find one anywhere on the internet

Hey all still learning a lot about my printer I had a quick question for those of you who use a latex printer. What is good set up for a rich black CMYK in illustrator for a layex 315? Currently I'm using a 75/100/100/100, but I know that uses a lot of ink. Any suggestions?

Hey all someone meantioned in another post of mine about rounding sharp points on contour cut text, to help with the peeling process. what is a good radius to apply, while maintaining the integrity of the font? TIA

I wouldn't say duped, but technology had an advancement "opportunity", and then capitalism eventually forced the change with the offering of a cheaper alternative even though the alternative wasn't necessarily a good longevity option

I actually agree with this, the main part of my business is vehicle wraps for catering trucks and most of the customers dont know how long the vinyl should last and they just expect it to last a lot longer than the vinyl is rated to last. I agree with the perception is everything especially when...

how did that turn out? got any pictures by any chance, I would love to see that before trying to do that myself because I have people who want matte

good question Gino, and yes in printing wraps I have less than a year under my belt, the the installer has experience installing only and not printing nor operating a cutter. I came to my position from digital corrugate packaging, with no experience with vinyl. But I think his reasoning behind...

you know, initially I though that sounds like you're pulling my leg on that, but the more I think about it, the more it sounds like a perfect idea for small lettering

100% agree, it might make the install slightly easier, but not by much and it would cost a few hundred in the amount of laminate it would use

for sure he wasn't talking about pre mask lol, had a conversation with him yesterday and when I said that the lettering would not be laminated, he began to question it and thats when I decided to make this poll

yea for some reason I can figure out the pathfinder way in illustrator either, shapebuilder was a good call though works for me, ill keep exploring and let you know if I find another way.

My installer says to laminate it, even if it is a solid factory color vinyl, a friend of mine in the industry who prints and installs says he never laminates plain lettering if it doesnt come off the printer. Personally I feel like using solid color vinyl, and then putting laminate in it before...
