What about 3M Di-Noc. They have all sorts of metal finishes...

How clear is the clear. It's going on HIP and needs meet DOT guidelines.

What happens when you do a print head test? How do you clean the machine? Could this have damaged the head? What happens when you do a Print Head Recovery? Is it possible that there is a lose connection to the head?

For flat signs 3M 3290 With an air release 3m 680-CR I know that 3M also just came out with the 780 series which is 'supposed' to be somewhat conformable and 'heal-able'... have not used it yet.

Agree with this... 3M 3650-114 clear reverse print 3M 7725 as a 'laminate' on the back

Looking for suggestions for a clear material that can be easily and quickly removed. We have a client that has 4x8 HIP reflective boards that wants to have outside, temporary, changeable graphics on it. Our for thought was to lay down a layer of HIP than print onto 3560-114, laminate and than...

From what it sounds like, your doing everything that you can to make it as easy for the printer as possible. Again everything that your doing is right, expanding outlines and text, embedding images rather than placing them, etc... to be honest I would be ecstatic to receive a file from an...

Look at other shop in the area. See what their doing and not doing. Decide if you want to just do install or you want to design/produce your own graphics in-house and install. Maybe look at getting a job at a local shop for a little while to see if it's something that you even really want...

I brought that up. The powers that be thought about it but decided not to.

From the info that I have read, it sounds like the Eco-Solvent seems to be the way to go right now. While Latex printers are awesome, it sounds like their just not 'there' yet and might need a little more time to mature to fix some of the issues that I've read about such as the color...

You guys bring up some great point. What about from an installers perspective? Has anyone noticed a difference between installing eco-sol vinyl vs latex vinyl? Has anyone had issues or seen a difference with longevity of color, or life of the material?

I think that in our busy summer months your looking at about 300-400 sqft daily, winter your looking at more 400-500 sqft weekly.

Hello everyone, The time has come for us to finally upgrade our printers from the HP 8000s's. We are currently in the market for two 64 inch printers for our shop. Currently we do everything from vehicle wraps, stickers, signs, banners, back lite signs, posters, etc... pretty much everything...

Chromebooks run on Chrome OS and I think are generally under powered for most 'shop' needs so I don't think that anyone has made any software/driver for them. I believe that Chrome is based on Linux and most commercial sign software is designed to run Mac or Windows OS. If you looking for a...

So there are a few things that you can try. I wrap a lot of plastic textured snowmachine parts and I've had pretty good luck with 3mIJ180 CV3 with the primer 94. One thing that I also do is use a heat gun and to post heat and use a wrap glove or soft roller to go over it while I'm post heating...

What about Convex or the new 3MIJ180C-10LSE

On a technical question why would you want to recreate it in a raster format? since it's large format wouldn't you want it vectored?

Why not just use 1080 series? If he's just going to do a plain wrap wouldn't the 180mc be too thin without laminate?

I would try to talk the client out of it. You can express to him that you're not sure of the legal issues regarding the logo, the fact that it will date his logo, that it could possible affect his business in unforeseen ways negative or positive, that it's just kind of uncreative and lazy and...

What's the humidity like in the print area? Maybe look at getting a humidifier and setting it up near the printers
