You're not going to get much of a stronger adhesive vinyl for a wide-format printer than DPF8000. There are some nice vinyl combos for printers like the Gerber Edge; I know Gerber makes some nice durable 15" super-adhesive vinyl and we also use LexEdge (polycarbonate) with 3M 467 adhesive...

I'd find a local shop to print for you for now until you have the volume to get your own printer.

In all seriousness, you aren't going to find anything at that price point. The cheapest option for you is to find a used Gerber Edge/plotter system.

I recommend getting the ProVehicleOutlines subscription.

Use the standard media profile you use for wrap films for the perf. We made our own couple of profiles and just use those for everything.

Templates aren't easy or quick to make, therefore they aint cheap IF they're for sale. Custom vehicles like golf carts, UTVs, snowmobiles, etc usually require the wrap shop to make their own custom templates.

It would look even cooler printed on some metallic wrap film.

Like 2B said above the low profile rollers would be nice also. Yellotools also have some nice stuff that most installers don't have.

I'd say nice tool carts. Or rolls of solid color wrap vinyl. Employers should be providing everything else like torches/squeegees for them already. I know when we got our installers their own carts they really liked them and personalized them right away.

I can see why they aren't around much. This place is quickly becoming a mess.

Here is a template for a 2017(?) E-Z-Go Freedom. Enjoy! Scaled to full size; if yours doesn't have windows/roof/back seats remove those parts.

We use double-sided velcro strips cut to about 18" long, they fit any size roll and even hold Phototex rolled up tight so it doesn't tunnel.

3M has some nice "flip" colors in their 1080 series.

I don't even stock a "process" black or yellow anymore, just regular black and yellow. Never had a real issue with fading on Gerber prints as long as they are laminated.

I know you mentioned cut vinyl, but we have been using 3M IJ180mC-10SLS which is made specifically for installing on stainless. (8519 laminate) See if your rep can get you a sample roll and do a print/cut.

If you give him a credit put an expiration date on it.

Never seen that happen either, but looks like it somehow did cause it. Maybe take a heat gun and see if it comes out or improves, I know it can cure those ABS plastic fender flares.

Look into Creative Circle.

I've used some of the other vinyls that are like Phototex (I believe they're by GFP?) and had some adhesive issues (edges curling prints coming off walls) so we have decided to stick with phototex. I've noticed that increasing the ink density (like you would for a backlit sign) can effect the...
