  2. I don't always like working on the weekends but...

    anytime after 6:00pm during the week and the weekends are great times to work, if you need to get stuff done. during the day it's crazy how many interruptions you get. all business oriented of course but it just makes jobs that i have to do take longer. i guess that's why we get paid the big...

    quoting a job to wrap some powder coated tables/displays but they are rental units so they want a material that could be removed. looking at 3M wrap materials and i know you can remove them pretty clean but i am concerned if it will stick ok on the powder coat. any ideas?
  5. strange printing question

    +2 we have had this happen also and since you are just taking the customer's artwork and printing it you don't even notice. i usually take the art they send and save it as a jpg so they can approve it to make sure nothing defaulted or dropped out and then when it gets in versa works...BANG big...

  9. vinyl zapper- orange-ish marks

    had to do more of the same trucks. cleaned the area first. put a new wheel on and made sure not to spend too much time in one spot or apply too much pressure. no marks at all this time thanks for the tips
  10. Vinyl for second surface lettering.

    +1 to that. if you weren't layering it you could get a way with the 651. it won't fail but it does shrink so if you layer the vinyl it will pull away and could mess up the graphic.

  12. our latest project

  13. vinyl zapper- orange-ish marks

    i will have to contact the company and see if they have a solution. never noticed it before but some of the trucks are in such bad shape it won't matter. and i didn't get all of it either. if i wanted to spend all day compounding the doors probably could have gotten it all. thanks

  17. Ultra cheap source for laminate?

    we have been using this lam for a while now and seems to work pretty good. we use this in place of the oracal 210. price is right and the quality is good
  18. Roland Disappointment XR-640

    have to say no issues with our XR (yet?) the only dissapoiuntment i found was the metallic in will rub off. need to laminate everything with metallic ink. some materials hold up better then others but not what we expected. the funny thing is we always test the materials and the ink durability...
