$4/square MINIMUM If you are a good installer you are worth the $$$. People have to stop selling for less and less. It just affects the entire industry. Just saying…

Silicone

Use smaller studs….

We do a lot of rough wall graphics and use the 3M480 with the 8548 lam. Utilizing the proper rollers/heat guns/ etc for install

And then come back later when it fails. USE THE PROPER MATERIAL FOR THE PROJECT!!!!

Your fault….. Reorder.

I will disagree with the use of calandered vinyl. I only use cast for window lettering. The cost difference in a project like this is just a few dollars. Cast is a better product vs cal But you do you.

We have a disclaimer on all of our quotes that states dirty vehicles are subject to a $100 cleaning fee and can result in the delay or even rescheduling the project. Our work flow is such that we are preparing the vehicle at the same time the graphics are being produced or they have already...

Is it happening in a consistent pattern? If it is it may be the material but is put money on ink starvation. That is a large field of a solid color and can happen at your faster print speeds. Out of the box profile(s) or have you built your own? Linearized your profiles?

We’d use our laser engraver with a material like Romark or the like

ACM Aluminum sheets Steel ???? Find various materials, do some R&D and see what works best for you. Are you cutting / routing or just print on precut pieces? Variables variables variables!

I take my to a recycling place. You don’t get much for it but better than just throwing it away. We take stuff in 1-2x a year.

A few things…. What degree blade are you using? For calandered and cast vinyl you should be around a 45 degree blade. Also make sure your blade is sharp. The tip of the blade needs to be just barely out of the blade holder (if yours has a cover) Then you need to adjust the speed, pressure...

Are you looking for blank material? We could easily do that. Not to mention print if needed too.

GF 226 Wall Mark Works wonderful. We use this all the time for flat, drywall, temporary projects. In fact we are just starting on a 600’ x 12’ (total) project. Goes up for about 2 months. Not had any issues in using this material. Now for sand texture, block, brick, etc. we use 180 or...

I would not say “epic” You are just installing and did not make the graphics right. Have them sign off on any failures or issues that may arise. Also let the client know the situation. It was their call not yours. We just did an install for another sign company and we told them that the...
