How hard do you think removal would be later with this? I had a flat painted door with the same "non-adhesion" issue for cut vinyl. The owner wanted to glue the vinyl on but I advised against it because in a few years when they want to remove the decal it would be very difficult to remove.

I am pretty sure that gifts are looked at differently from an IRS standpoint - you don't have to pay taxes on a gift unless it exceeds a certain amount, I think that amount is pretty high here in the states, but I would have to find the information. Unless his workers are making a LOT of money...

I sure hope Oracal/Orafol is paying attention. I think this is the third thread with people having bad product. The "discuss with supplier" statement is a cop-out. *smh* Seems like their quality assurance team is dropping the ball.

I have flexi 10 and it doesn't give me this problem. Glad to know it might be an issue on 12.

Welcome from Utah!

Are you using Windows 10 by chance? And what cutting software are you using?

Has the language been accidentally set back to HPGL instead of GPGL? Just found this post - maybe you can get your answers here http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?115733-Graphtec-FC8000-160cm-error-E01019

Welcome!

I agree with RJPW, the small amount of dish soap in water works in place of rapid tac for application if you are in a pinch.

Thanks, this sounds interesting. Has anyone else tried this stuff? I assume it dries clear? It might be worth a shot, I only wish they sold it in smaller bottles so I could give it a try on a small area first and see what it is like.

Like everyone has stated, different jobs call for different vinyl. I have always been a fan of the Orafol/Oracal 651 and 751 as well as their air release vinyls. It can be tricky to learn the different vinyls and even more tricky when you start to learn the different vinyls each manufacturer...

Thanks for all the input everyone. The customer doesn't want me to remove and try to re-apply until spring, despite my offer to take it all down, have him paint with a different (Not flat) paint and I would re-apply no charge. My only concern is that he is talking about gluing it in place until...

This place might have what you are looking for. They sell the soft hook and loop fabric at 54" by the yard http://www.wazoodle.com/fabrics/hook-loop-fabric/loop-fabric.html

I know my Roland could be pretty weird/picky about static. It would do some strange things. Just a shot in the dark, but thought it worth mentioning.

Could you mean designdecals.com? It looks like it isn't in english (the site).

Exactly

Thanks Gino, I don't like to let the customers apply my graphics. They mess it up and it reflect poorly on me, so I completely agree. Lesson learned for sure. I also am now finding that window companies are putting on a "graffiti protection" coating on their store-front glass. Ended up...

This is not 15" vinyl, this is a 50" decal over two large delivery doors. 751 is double the cost of 651, and it adds up quick on a decal of this size, and as I mentioned, the 751 would not have adhered any better. I agree though, I don't like my clients to apply their own unless it is a small...

I don't think 751 would have adhered any better honestly. This client is pretty familiar with the vinyls and he is perfectly ok with 651 (struggling smaller business and has to watch the pennies), he has used it in the past and is aware of the limitations. I did give him the option of going for...

I recently had a client wanting graphics on their large metal delivery doors in the back of the building. The client sent a picture and I didn't think much of it as these metal doors are usually powder coated and vinly adheres well. I thought it would go smoothly. When I arrived for the install...
