Hi, I bought some convex vinyl, 8 mil with 12 mil laminate, for a football team job I have. Does anyone who does football helmets have any advice for me going into this? Anyone who uses 20 mil vinyl, do you know your plotter settings by any chance? Will a hand crank laminator work to laminate...

Do you have any idea what the ideal air temperature and humidity?

Usually, at the beginning it happens more frequently than when the printer has been running for a while, but it still happens randomly in random spots. I have only printed on Oracal 651. I have heard people have trouble with Oracal. But I am doing an order for a football team on convex, but do...

Hi all, I have a gerber Edge 2 which prints well, I really like it, but when I run prints there is usually misprints within them, where the foil doesn’t print onto the vinyl. I usually double print and it helps it a little bit but that wastes a lot of foil. How can I prevent these misprints...

Any suggestions on which one to purchase? Which brand has best results?

hi, I attached photos to help understand but I am having trouble laminating my vinyl and keeping the laminate on straight. I see people have the laminate on top of the squeegee, like the fist picture, but I do not know how to set that up. Can anyone help or does anyone have a link to a video to...

Hi, I have been using Substance vinyl for my football helmets but I do not wish to keep heating them up while applying and I don't think my customers do too. I know there is convex, and I will probably switch to them, but what about 3m? do they have any vinyl thick enough for football helmet...

Could I just use the convex laminate? Have substance 6 mil vinyl and convex laminate? Do you think that would work? Starting up I need to save a little money. Or do you think I need to use convex vinyl and laminate and just spend the money on it?
