    They are all off in different areas. If you keep your design away from the edges and don't crowd important objects or text between areas like door handles or wheel wells, your safe. If you choose to design with tight tolerances you need to grab a tape measure and make sure you have the room or...
  7. Pricing

    Size, quantity and waste are factors too. Small banners don't use a lot of material but they do take the same number of steps. Those steps equate to time so small banners cost more per square foot. Large quantities create savings in repetitive mass production. You don't have to get the...

    A banner.... I've had people ship me 4 xx 8 banners and ask that I put up the post and plywood and screw it on. I breezed through all the responses, but every suggestion I saw would need something rigid behind it for wind support, so lets go all the way. A banner would be the cheapest product...

    Matte lam is definitely the way to go on painted walls. I'll typically use an 18" drywall knife to scrape the high spots before installation on permanent jobs. Mall walls, it is what it is...
  11. Moldy vinyl?

    My guess is the UV rays from the sun. Do the failed signs consistently face the south? (They look like 2 sided signs) I have seen this on lots of signs in Florida and my initial thoughts were cheap material.

  13. Wall film frustration

    Use Arlon DPF 8000 for low voc painted walls or specify the paint. Zinsser 123 or Kilz are the preferred paints for wall murals. Low voc paints have lots of plasticizers that prevent vinyl from sticking. 3M suggest cleaning the entire wall with a mixture of 30% isopropyl alcohol and 70% water...
  14. Stud-mount lettering on Exterior Wall Tile

    As Moze said, use a diamond core bit and you won't crack the tile. Porcelain is hard so it may take awhile. I usually bring a spray bottle with water to keep the bit cool. Once your through the porcelain you can switch to the appropriate bit depending on what is behind it. My guess is concrete...

  18. Does anybody use flat pricing for their vehicle wraps?

    $6.50 a sq ft? WOW 20 years ago it was $13 to $15 a sq ft without design. The old control-tac without air egress only added several hours to an install. We've come a long way baby, I wouldn't do it for less than $10 without design...
  19. Need Help Anybody know a good cut vinyl wholesaler?

    No matter what, I think you would need a local source for the smaller one off jobs, or quit doing them all together. And what happens when you customer says " I messed up a couple of those, can I get 2 more?" Shipping would kill your margins and customer service even more than expensive local...
