I'm at a different shop now. But my old boss had talked about getting one of the tents like that, but we didn't have a place to store it. The shop was in a converted office space, which was good for a starting spot, but we had already outgrown it in 1-2 years. And we couldn't leave anything...

I doubt you'll find both translucent AND air egress. The problem is that the air egress is actually a texture molded into the adhesive. If you did this with a translucent film, the texture would be visible through the film. Which is probably why you can't get air egress in translucent or clear...

What's more important to you right now - time or money? If you're not having to pay for labor, then you can remove a lot of printed graphics - after a long time and lots of work, and some expense on removal materials. If you're paying for labor to remove it, or you value your time, then buy...

Do a calibration test in addition to the cleaning test. I've used 2 Versacamms - currently on a vs-540i. When we get banding like that is usually clogged nozzles. But when the cleaning test print comes out fine, it's usually the calibration. This controls how much the media moves forward...

Hire a photographer. Tell them your specific needs. Have them compile the photos that meet those needs. OR... Use vector art only. The problem with using stock images is that most photographers do not create photos for purposes like the wall mural. You can play around with photoshop effects...

I've recently had my first crack at this material. But it was black, which should be the most resistant to color variation, I would think. The main thing I noticed is that I had to use more heat in application to get adhere firmly than the 1005 EZ. The texture in the adhesive is different - not...

Why on earth would you mix cast and caledered? Why not wrap this car with chrome while you're at it? I'm all for cutting costs where you can, but some ways are just bound to come back and bite you. ...unless you're not planning on being around long enough for them to catch you.

When I was working in Dallas, we used the 210 matte and gloss laminates all the time. During that time (about 3 years), I never saw any issues with the UV burn you've described. The calendered laminates always shrunk up and got dirt lines around the edges, but that was the worst of it. The...

Nothing I know of that will get it clear. Anchor tool, point by point, is the best (albeit slow) way I've found.

Yeah, my guess is they've got their nose 2" from the product. I also have to remind customers to look at it from actual expected viewing distance, the dot pattern is normal, blah, blah, blah. Unless they are going to be viewing these items from a close distance, which is rare, you shouldn't have...

Sorry, Gino. But warranty and lifespan are not the same. Just like with cars, appliances, etc., the expected lifespan is much longer than the warranty. See here...

This one always cracks me up! But it always increases our sales...from them needing reprints. Be sure to mention there's a video on youtube they can watch to make install super easy. :popcorn:

So, does anyone laminate solid color vinyls before wrapping with them? My supervisor is looking at the Avery 900 Supercast Black film we have, and thinks it's too thin for what the customer wants. He suggested we could laminate it, which could increase the thickness and add a protective layer...

I've ordered them off Grimco before

That would explain why you're boss is coming after you to close the deal. Good luck, sounds like you need it.

Would you rather have something expensive that works, or something cheap that doesn't? My unofficial motto when looking at buying tools: Buy quality, and you get what you pay for. Buy cheap and you pay for what you get.

Let me say that I wish I had such a classy wrap to show off on my website! I'd call that pre-mi-ummmm quality. It's like the website I saw for a local printer advertising wraps. The picture was of a tiny sports car on a European street. Um...not sure, but I don't think that's this printer's...

It sounds like you've gone through the normal list. I'd politely tell the customer those are the options we offer. If they can find a sample of material they like, then we can look at it and see what we can do. Otherwise, they can pick one of the options. Our company doesn't engineer the films...

I've used it periodically for layering vinyl, mostly for one customer that owns a motorcycle shop. He always wants neon yellow on black layered vinyl. Never had trouble with the stuff after the first couple of uses, unless someone left the transfer tape on for a summer afternoon in the sun. I...
