F150 Hood from Scrap Yard.

That's not a partial it's a full wrap. If the areas that are white are getting contour cut stuff on them anyway, you're covering the same square footage on top of making more work for yourself (cut graphics need weeded, taped) and making more exposed edges.

I just want to point out the irony of a Sign Shop owner preaching that advertising is a waste of money. I wouldn't use that line with prospective customers...that's for sure. LOL I get what you're saying though.

I would say since the 500 series prints twice as fast as the 300 series, (uses 2 Optimizer heads) it's probably got to do with the curing.

Update: It appears to be the scratch resistance coating in the Latex inks that migrate to the surface during curing, causing a barrier preventing a full bond. It's not just Avery but testing has shown it to affect 3M and others. Their working on a fix. The product warranty is honored 100% by Avery.

I'm not sure it's Avery. It may be the laminator or the ink. I'm not making any claims at this point, I'm just trying to get an idea if this is happening to anyone else out there.

Here's that other spot I mentioned. As he was pulling it away from right to left...you can see (yellow arrow) where it started to come away from the print. Not even on a cut edge.

We were replacing that panel because my trainee got it a little crooked and relief cut it making a seem. So I reprinted it and while he was removing it, the separation started. He called me over and I gave a little tug and it came away from the print very easily. It happened on another spot...

I'm not sure if it's the Overlam not sticking to the Latex ink or what. HP retailer tells me it's probably the laminator not putting enough pressure. I've never had this issue though with my Roland eco-sol. Has anyone else out there seen this problem with theirs? HP L560, Latex ink, Avery 1105...

Same. Wrapped 7 cars with Matte and it was more brittle. Totally felt different in it's application/stretch as well.

Commercial vehicle in Hollywood FL hits your vehicle twice. § 72.110 DEFINITIONS. (e) Any vehicle which contains advertising markings or licensing information; and (8) The total square footage of signs on the vehicles exceeds 25 square feet.

Because ALL the other's I've ever done have lasted a lot longer without this particular white oxidized vinyl problem...so it was "reasonable" to expect it to be like all the rest. My questions was NOT about whether or not Banners are long term options. It was about whether or not THIS problem...

I suspect you didn't read my post.

Exactly what I figured. Looked around for a Grand Format wholesaler who offers Liquid Laminate but, only found it for FlexFace. Thanks.

" I have watched enough videos on wrapping I feel confident I can do the job..." I have watched enough videos of Bob Ross painting, but that doesn't mean I can paint. I have watched enough video tutorials of Mike Portnoy playing the drums..." Well you get it. Don't get me wrong, videos help a...

I ordered 2 grand format banners for a customer of mine for his business front. It's not in the sun all day and mounted flush against building so there's no wind damage. Ourselves and other customers have banners like this on buildings that last 3 or more years before starting to fade. This one...

An HHR is a standard vehicle. Promaster, Sprinters, Transits are all "standard" vehicles. I just find it hard to have a number for anything other than box trucks and trailers. Sorry to revisit this.

I'm assuming the ribs are going vertically...so obviously you would go side to side...feeding into each groove just going over the peaks and valleys. Depending on the height of the text, you may be able to you a large squeegee.

That's one way. You can either reverse cut opaque block-out material to only allow the EL panel to show through where you want...OR you can actually cut the el panel up so long as you leave the contact points in tact etc. That 2nd way it how you get the letters to independently flash with a...

Reviving this Thread as it seems Luma brite has faded away. There is a Canadian company called Luma Strike. Perhaps they beat lumabrite to the "patent" line? Can you really claim that you've "developed a new technology" when it's been around for decades? Does incorporating it into a wrap make it...
