Black vinyl? 3m has their 1080 at 60" width. Find someone in your area with a roll splitter and done. Your local distributor might even have one or access to one.

Reminds me of the movie Porky's.... the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, the worms play pinochle on my snout...

How hard was it to get the hardware off the coffin?

So the issue is the banner material that your using. Like Xtreme said about the plasticizers coming to the surface will cause this. HP actually makes a roller that goes on their machines that fixes this issue. It's basically a foam covered bar that pushes the plasticizers back down before it...

That's unfortunate....

I would use a vector template to create your graphic. Most quality template makers have the variations that include the plastic wheel covers and everything else that would be stock on a vehicle. Also it sounds like you're designing in Photoshop? Do it in Illustrator or another vector program...

What are you saving the file as? EPS. PDF, TIFF?

I had read somewhere that there might be an issue with the Magenta. From what I understand basically the magenta head temperature can fluctuate causing the color difference. There is a firmware fix that is supposed to help with this.

Latex might actually be better to wrap with since it doesn't 'bite' into the film changing the way the material acts. You can feel the difference especially when printing with darker colors. When printing with latex you also don't have to wait to let the material out gas so you're able to...

I guess it all depends on they make and model of the printer....if it's latex it shouldn't be a problem. Solvent or eco-solvent yes it could be a problem.

Don't be too intimidated. I know that it looks like a lot but you most likely won't use 70% of the tools unless you designing for a living. Pen tool is going to be your best friend and also get comfortable with clipping mask and compound shapes. Another useful menu is the pathfinder menu.

Being stuck in your ways is fine but how is latex not cost effective? Eco-solvent waste ink is probably costing you more than you realize, the long term health issues alone make the switch to latex more efficient. New latex printers with built in spectrophotometer and gen 3 inks are awesome...

As far as white ink goes, unless that's big part of your business I would stay clear of it. White ink can be fickle and if you go eco-solvent your machine will cycle the white ink even if your not using it which means that your paying for an ink that you rarely use. When I had a Roland...

If you looking for a new printer look at an HP latex. they have some nice machines that will allow you to print on many many materials, plus not out gassing, or fumes which will allow you laminate right after printing to increase you work flow.

I didn't know that IJ380 was still a thing... I thought that they were discontinuing that line and pushing people to the 480 and now 480mc

We generally order direct from 3M and they second day air it to us. Living in Alaska which they considered not part of the US sometimes has it perks... Have you had any issues with Fellers not having it in stock?

So I have a guy that has a race car that he wants to do a Fluorescent base color wrap. So I we called up 3M and are looking to get a roll of their 60" Fluorescent Yellow wrap material.... they are telling us that we need to order a minimum of 30 rolls. Has anyone used this material before...

If your going to look at getting into wraps, check out some of the classes from 3m, Avery and Orafol. They all have intro classes that will give you hands on with their digital print materials as well as other wrap materials and laminates While there are some positives and negatives for all...

Sure we can help you with that. It's $100 an hour and I need a CC on file so that we can begin the process..... This usually lets them know that it will cost them money and you can negotiate from there.
