  1. Question auto wrap, door edges cut or wrap?

    Sasser cutpro was a waste of money big time. You can still make bad cuts where you cut closer to one edge. I never wrap around the edges more than 1/8. After 10+ years and 1000s of cars i have never had a single issue with vinyl lifting. If you do commercial wrap try to cut in an angle like how...

  4. Need Help VS 540i losing black but comes back after cleaning then gone again. HELP!

    UPDATE: I don't want to jinx it but it looks like it was just a bunch of air in the system. After half a dozen cleaning ( 3 powerful and like 4 medium cleaning) the black never went out so far. I was able to print the top of the side which is like 200 inches if not more. Didn't do any cleaning...

  8. Question Removal of old graphics

    Yep. something like that happened to me a couple times. One customer told me they will never ever attempt to remove vinyl ever again even if they get paid $75. The other one told me he is more than happy to pay me $100 per hr next time but he won't ever touch vinyl again. lol

  10. Best way to remove vinyl from semi trailers that is 7 years old?

    torch > steamer 5 times faster to use torch. a square foot of vinyl took me 1 hour with a steamer and it took 10 minutes with torch. Vinyl was cracked and old. I have tried a few times. Same results. Im done with steamer. Same with IR heater. Takes forever. Torch is faster and softens the...
  11. What' going on? Avery MPI 1105 Supercast EZRS/ DOL 1060Z

    Im puzzled. what was done in 2016 and what was done in 2013? You biggest problem is using arlon lam. I recommend using avery 1360z instead of 1060. It costs a little bit more but 1060 is very thin and even for the side they only give you 4 yr warranty. hood and roof couldn't be more than 1-2...
  12. Anyone ele having issues with 3M ink Over-saturation?

    I had so many issues with 3m back in the day. Actually i started to have problems with 3M when they had the old air channel in the 180. That was the one with just horizontal lines not the mixro X pattern. Even with right profile and outgas the material was super tacky. If it folded and touched...
  13. Random white spots on red.

    I think you are over saturating the red. Looking at yout tiny pics one sharper image shows dark clouds in the red. You are printing way to much red on that material and it can't handle it. What material are you printing on? Try to use a different profile. Not sure what rip software you use. i...
  14. Weird marks in vinyl

    this can happen to any printable material. if you don't wear gloves jut pull the roll forward a foot or two. Then you will print on a part that you surely never touched before. Btw You can also wash your hand and try not to touch every square inch on the media when you load it. I do not use...
  15. How Concerned should I be about Gassing Out a print?

    If you print with solvent you supposed to let it gas out. Have I seen any vinyl or lamination failed because skipping the gas out process? Nope. Never. BUT! My experience is that some materials especiall 3m 180 vinyls are super crap to install if you don't let it gas out. It softens the glue...
