Stopped by the shop in the am to grab the mail and feed the office fish tank. Then took the afternoon to enjoy some hiking in a new found spot behind our new home we will be closing on in the next few weeks. 65*F here in CT day after Thanksgiving. I would much rather spend the day outdoors...

We as business owners are exactly that, "We own the business" whether it be success, failure, or mistakes by employees. Our employees are an extension of us, we own it all. The biggest mistake was when I was first starting out getting into the larger scale Digital printing and we were doing...

A good deal of our business these days has been police and municipal vehicles. We have been using white color change wrap material. These get beat up pretty bad from the officers gun belts constantly rubbing on them. Unfortunately a lot of the departments have switched to these white...

Just curious......Have you laminated any unprinted vinyl with the same laminate to see if this has the same effects? Just to rule out the cause being the ink or printing process. I had a 3M Issue a few years ago with large order of reflective vinyl with comply that they refused to do anything...

Hope this was placed under proper category. Anyone on the forum making these either printing or lasering? I have a customer that is looking for these I did a quick search on the net and found some retail but was looking for a wholesaler. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know of any classes that specialize in automatic presses? I have a new employee that could use some more training and was looking where to send him.

Either knifeless tape or you may get a better look with actually wrapping those indents with the black then overlaying a gloss red the shape of the indents. Might take a couple trial pcs to get the shape exact but that's what I would do. Cut with the plotter. And then all 6 would be identical...

Bill, I have used Sign World America in the past. Great product great support over the phone and email. They are west cast so shipping is normal 5 day. Also used creative banner before have yet to try 4Over. I have had one customer complain about the sublimated black being black...

Over engineer it to be safe. If you see this is more of your work might be worth the time and money to throw together a few examples differnt sizes that are some what common but larger enough difference to be helpful for future estimating jobs. Send them off to an engineer to get you designs...

I would suggest away from using any sort of caulk or filler. If applied properly you should have no issues with that. Sounds as though you are quite new to vehicle wraps. Do some research on youtube for deep channle installtaions. Get your self a nice smooth wrap glove and print out a larger...

Sounds ever so familiar. I was a young man back in 2004 who thought that wraps were cool. I had been using a plotter for 5 years and my small part/time business was beigning to grow. I took a leap of faith and financed my first large format solvent printer and matching plotter. Called my...

why is this subject of printing so tight lipped?? I dont understand why everyone is so secretive about the whole process. In my opinion its not worth the time and effort for quality or profit. Dont get me wrong it has its applications and for those it is great and the only way to achieve such...

Same thing here. We actually have a automotive repair shop 75FT across our parkinglot that has since started doing color change wraps because I refused his deadline when my installer was out having back surgery. He brought in a guy who works FT for a wrap shop 10 miles away. They moonlight at...

180cv3 all the way. I would not recomend covering the tile with any sort of board or substrate. That has nightmare written all over it. At least with a vinyl film you will not get any mold or moisture behind it and it is easily cleaned. If you mount boards to the tile you are opening...

After seeing this video a little over a year ago we have began doing all wraps where allowable as this. You may need a few extra hands at first to get it laid out and aligned but with 2 installers tackling it with squeeges we have reduced our install times drastically on vans, trailers, and box...

So in another lifetime I once worked as a tool & Die maker for a relatively large company as well as a worked for Big Oil (Shell) as a terminal operator. Both company's had huge amounts of money and the staff to be able create for all intense purposes Dummy Manuals that would describe all...

Met another shop owner was allegic to the fine dust from vinyl that occurs from cutting it with a plotter. He ended up with breathing issues as well a your symptoms. Had to sell and get out of the buisiness after 10+ years it came on suddenly. Last I knew he was fine since getting away from...

Do they have to be painted? If not I would print and cut the correct size rectangle with pinstripes and base color and just wrap the cylinder with vinyl. One and done. No need to wait for paint to dry or figure out a system to get the pinstipes even and uniform on 625 pcs. Post heat and im...

Need to reproduce these graphics. Fluorescent yellow with Fluorescent orange/Red High Intensity. Looks as though the orange is overlaid at factory not by installer? I would settle for Stripes and will cut squares if I have to and over lay after. Looking for US Supplier Anyone??? Thanks in...
