so you agree painting is the best option. really not confident wrapping with vinyl will hold up if i can even wrap that curve properly (and that's a big if..haha)
customer wants to wrap an tanning canopy. matte black (i recommended they get them painted) any thoughts on tackling this project? the curves look like they may give me some trouble. also getting a material to stick to that surface(probably have to use a hi-tack vinyl)
have a customer that moved in to a new location and they took their old stud mounted acrylic lettering with them for the new location and i have to re-install it but i did not do the first install and apparently no one there has any info on who did it.
any tips on marking and drilling the holes...
white has always been a tricky issue. usually the spray helped in our case. might want to check with your tech at this point. sounds like you have done pretty much all you can do on your end.
we have an roland LEJ uv printer and noticed that on occasion for us it was a static issue or a print head issue. if it's not a head issue you might need a better static solution.
we started using a static spray on sheets before we print. i use it on acrylic, sintra, coroplast and aluminum...
i have a paving customer with similar trucks.
i solvent print the graphics with oracal 3751RA and 290 gloss lam haven't had any issues.
i would think if it was the temp of the asphalt it would effect both sides but maybe it's a combo of the asphalt temp and direct sun on that one side?
i'm done with the front, back and one side. we as group decided the same thing. if the customer says something then i will address it
thanks for the input
not worth the risk. you know even if they can't afford the correct material they will sue you for an injury or failure.
they other thing is it will be harder to install with out lam, too flimsy and stretch real easy.
i would use either arlon or avery hi-tack vinyl (made for rough surfaces) and...
wrapping a box trailer and removing the screw/rivets for install.
wondering if i should paint some of them to match the wrap better or just leave them white. doesn't look too bad from a distance and it blends pretty good in the graphic areas just not the solid areas
there is a swatch for the perf cut. i forget how it's typed out for versaworks to read it .
you add a line for the perf like you would for a cut line (ContourCut) and you just use the perf swatch.
then the machine will do all the kiss cuts and then go back and do the perf cuts
try the cast lam but best bet is to get a polyester/mylar lam.
years ago when we first started doing digital printing we had polyester lam we used for our silk screened items so we just used that on the digital print items then we had the reverse of your problem the vinyl would shrink but no...
had this happen once and i told the customer can't do it with out drilling, so i told him i could drill in between the bricks and it can be patched afterwards.
that was the only option i offered or he was on his own.
he went with my idea.
just patched it with silicone and some small pieces of...
printing on lam is ok they are both vinyl so will accept the same inks. the real difference is going to be in the adhesive. lam i believe has more of an optically clear adhesive that regular clear vinyl. as already stated "Simply put, you can print on lam but you wouldn't want to use the vinyl...
There are those that claim you can use any old this or that and there's never been a problem. Wait until there is a problem and you find yourself in front of a judge saying: "But every body else is doing it". That'll fly.......HAHAHA
my point exactly.
we have done a bunch of dance floors but we...
