seems that people i talk to in different industries (as far as my customers anyway) are getting busy which is always good news, especially if your business is included in that. how is business for everyone, getting better? we are very busy in all departments here and since the weather has...

not sure what will go wrong but i would imagine you are putting stress on the machine that it wasn't meant to have. i have cut some 10mil stuff and just scored it then popped out the part. done this maybe 3-4 times in the 11 years we have had rolands. but if you are going to do it you will need...

try magnet LLC. are they 4 c/p or spot color magnets. usually with a qty that high we will silk screen them and die cut

i have some avery vinyls i use with no problem. i think the big problem was years back with some reflective material but either way use what you are comfortable with. i have never used the chrome but you should check out some install videos on line with the chrome. they show some techniques that...

when ever they are using pressure washers and chemicals to clean the vehicle you will have issues. it's just a matter of when. best bet is to use a hi-tack vinyl and maybe try a thicker lam like what they use on the motor cross decals for low surface energy plastics or what they use for the...

need white ink to lay down a trap

have you tried N. Glantz? they have a bunch of metal edging/molding for architectural signage in there catalog or check their website

thanks for the feed back and i am using a laminator. the thing is this doesn't happen all the time that's what gets me. wondering if it's temp or humidity thing. also was thinking maybe loosen up the tension on the laminator.

having an issue with application tape tunneling. attached pics not the easiest to see but believe me it's tunneling. was using r-tape at-60 and this started happening so i went to a more aggressive tape, at-65 and it's doing it again. any suggestions on a fix or different tape to try. i prefer...

oracal (orafal) has been jumping their prices a few times a year for a while and they are not shy about it. we use the 3651 for a ton of stuff, it's a decent cal vinyl. i have one customer that i have to use it for and can't change. changed once and screwed up a big job for them. i also use the...

basically just put all the info above together and when you get done answering all the questions and figuring all the work out probably better off(and safer) having someone else do the job. everyone has to start somewhere but this may not be the job to start with

definitely need more info as already asked by others but the job it self is not hard just time/labor. lift renatal + travel time+ set up time + pattern set up+ drilling time + install + clean up. also with that size area you will have to move the lift a few times and these things do not move so...

anyone replace dampers in a XR-640? i need to do it but i opened it up and it's quite a bit different under the hood from our XC and LEJ. wondering if i am better off having the tech do this one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwnLmE6Je0s&list=PLyh4AQ5CY4UrrKHZ1sS4--y6dgEaObEF8&index=9 found some more helpful videos(for me anyway). i normally cut the corners and wrap them around just like they say not to. haven' had any issues yet but i will try this going forward looks like it...

it does come in black and you can get it from sabic or tekra but they have a minimum for you to buy (don't remember what it is, i don't do the purchasing on that item) let me know what you need and i can check our stock.

i have cut 10mil (.010" not 10mm) pvc and polycarbonate on our rolands but it just scores it doesn't cut all the way through. it's enough that you can just snap apart what you are cutting. i only do it for small qty stuff. i have done some stencils and some sign panels.

i will check that site out but i get emails with these videos and you can go on their website and check older videos for free which is great. learned some very useful stuff

not sure if anyone else gets these but i pick up some good tips from time to time on installation or tools. http://sdgmag.com/videos/chrome-license-plate-area-0

as far as i know the heat assist doesn't affect the bond. it helps with the silvering (haze you sometimes get from the adhesive on the lam) i could be wrong on the adhesion / bond part. i have used cold laminators also and never had any delaminating issues.

i would do them from the middle up to the top then to the bottom. tape up the first panel or use magnets ( i just got a set of magnets and use them when ever i can they are great) do a tape hinge in the middle then let the top come down, remove from the release liner, cut it off and then...
