I've seen old reflective do this. It's never fun!

Probably wouldn't hurt to run a strip of edge seal tape along the top of the "fine" side.

We usually cut those out. It might be possible to roll them down and leave them but that leaves the possibility for failure at a later date.

Looks like a materials problem to me. Some materials are just defective. You can have a roll that is printing good then after a bit it is unprintable. Put a different roll on and try again and post results.

I have had a similar issue getting them to install before, but I remember that you cannot have the firewire plugged into your computer during the installation. I had to uninstall and unplug the cable, then reinstall with it unplugged. After all install is complete you plug it in and it works...

The liquid lam process is cheaper. We don't do it here and have no interest in it, but we do install some that are supplied this way. It is also a bear to remove compared to regular vinyl/lam combos.

Nope, you're gonna have to use a new piece and not as much heat this time. Some specialty vinyls wont tolerate the temp of a torch but a heat gun will work.

Here is another (Grumman?) aluminum delivery truck template. 10% scale. Enjoy!

I've always hated guessing at the dimensions for logos on hoods on the new Ford Transits, so I just went ahead and made this template so it wasn't an issue anymore. Enjoy!

Do any other printer share these same grit rollers? Possibly the Seiko is just using another manufacturer's parts for this printer and you could get it from them. (Like how most solvent printers run Epson heads)

Follow the instructions listed in this thread, if you don't have spare phototex, then substitute another non-stretchable material. https://signs101.com/threads/phototex-for-templates.119932/

sorry, can't delete this post for some reason??? but, my original reply was incorrect so I deleted the text out.

I read that too, but I don't see any anywhere on their site. I think they're either saying that the pre-printed V98 panels or their own custom printed panels are "one piece", but no one that I know of offers reflective in wider than 48" panels. I know 3M and Oracal doesn't, I've asked the reps...

We usually paint them. The hardware store is close by so we just go grab a can of whatever is closest and hit the screws that need a color change. The attached image is a white trailer with a seamless color-change 1080 wrap and overlaid cut vinyl graphics. Painted the screws red/white/black...

The new Epson series printers have a whole new ink formulation, and are 3M MCS compatible for warranty. The previous generation(s) did have issues with the yellow/orange inks fading outdoors that are now taken care of. We had issues with S70670/S70675 fading when we used orange inks but we...

Am I Blog Troll??? I was trying to help the OP find someone who could produce what he is looking for, and I know you could UV or screen them.

You'll need someone who has a Gerber Edge printer to get these done the best way.

You're gonna have to charge hourly for these, and it'll be a lot longer than you expect them to be. They take as long as a car wrap... See how much the customer is comfortable with dis-assembling their selves to save them money with that part of the process. I too would also be very wary about...

Oh yeah, it seems that I see it more and more lately, but we also use a lot more vinyl than we used to. Even 3M has issues with partially punched holes sometimes, we never use Oracal here. I'd assume that the blades(?) on the punches wear out eventually and need sharpened or replaced and that is...
