  2. premasked pin-stripe

    I'm looking for a manufacturer that make pin stripe that is already premask. In my case, I need a 3in wide blue vinyl to install on a ceiling of an office, a full 50 yards roll. I know that I saw that kind of product somewhere, but I can't remember who. I think it would be easier that way...
  3. Suggestions best printer to create frosted look vinyl

    I understand your point and I know the frosted will be white and that is ok. If you check the fasara catalog, almost all pattern are white. But I'm also planing to make some test with white + grey if I could end up with a similar look. I understand too I need a very opaque white.
  4. Handheld squeegee help

    I use the bigsqueegee like you have daily to laminate small piece. Tape your vinyl on a perfectly flat table, layer your piece of laminate over the vinyl and tape the same edge. Then flip the laminate over the BS and remove the liner maybe 1/4 of a inch. Keep the BS at a 45 degree angle and push...
  5. Suggestions best printer to create frosted look vinyl

    Is there a particular printer that you would suggest to create custom frosted vinyl. I'm thinking something like what is available in the 3M Fasara catalog. Does any printer with white ink would be able to do this if printed on optically clear vinyl? If not, what would you suggest? Thanks.

  8. Need Help Weird lines in the end of print

    It look like the head is touching the material. Could be just a vacuum adjustment, a feed problem or head high adjustment to make. I'm not a tech, but those would be the first things I would check.
  9. Vinyl coming off wall

    The wall have too much texture for your vinyl. Use Gardz sealer over the existing paint and you will never have any problem with any vinyl. If you have to repaint, use shervin-williams proclassic with gardz sealer. If you install vinyl on a primed only wall, you are asking for troubles.

    Do you mean the smalls black plastic roller? If yes, pull the blue lever, take them off and check if one of them is broken. I've had a similar problem in the past and 2 of the rollers was broken. There is few replacement in the maintenance package when you buy the printer.

  13. Discussion what's everyone's hurry????

    Few months ago, a friend of mine had 20 ford transit to wrap in one week. They worked like crazy to be able to meet the deadline. It took 2 extra weeks for the customer to pick them up...
  14. Discussion what's everyone's hurry????

    Yep. It's an instant everything era. Customer tell me every day ''you just have to press the print button'' like if it was a regular laser copier. Some think I'm just waiting in my office for their call and have no other customers. One day, I've made an ''open house'' for my top 20 customers...

    I have a EDGE ii and using the avery 750 since it's on the market. I did not tried the mat version, but I really like the print and the material seems more ''rigid'' than the ''older'' version.
  17. Is anyone familiar with an XY cutter?

    When I will have the space to buy one, it will be either a Kala Kalaxy or Flexa Miura II. They both are european manufacturer, so it should be fairly cheap for you. I almost pull the trigger to buy a Canon Colorado. But the brittle and cracking problem was too major factor for us. We still...
  18. How precise is the Keencut SteelTrack 250

    The keencut was my first choice. But like other confirm, it bend the dibond when cut. I can't afford that because I need to cut lot of small pieces. This is why the panel saw would be a better choice. I will need a special place to confine the mess.
  19. How precise is the Keencut SteelTrack 250

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'm definitely looking for a commercial grade product that is easy to use. Yes the best would be a CNC, but my budget and space don't allow it for now. I'm also looking for something that would be versatile. What about a panel saw? A model like SawTrax, the sign maker...
