The roll of 1080 brushed black we have here IS opaque?

like a brushed metallic? 1080 black brushed metallic is opaque.

yes, looks like a very small piece of lint has attached to one of the print heads.

X2 on large banners. Just completed and installed on on this Tuesday. I think we went with a thicker banner than 13oz though.

Design in illustrator if that's where you're comfortable, and if you're having trouble with the translation process I have found it is easy for beginners to set up a separate layer in illustrator for each spot color/vinyl. There is a link in a thread on here for the Gerber vinyl/foil color...

I think there are a lot of videos on the youtube on running the Edge, but otherwise you will need a good mentor or to go to training. A quick tip - if things aren't printing how they should, lie to the plotter and tell it that you're using a different type of media or foil. Good luck!

I have always heard that waxing your wraps makes them last longer. However, I have never had any experience with waxing them. What waxes can you use / not use on wraps? (A customer is asking me, and I wanted a solid answer)

I would suggest calling the vendor up and talking to the superior of the employees you are dealing with. Not to get those employees fired, but to better understand how their company works and how the job fell through the cracks & how to avoid this re-occurring in the future.

Did you lose the client over not having this job ready? Or just lose this job? I have a vendor that says they have no wait time on tablecloths and is cheap. They could also ship it direct to the customer's destination. They are a MM on here...

Unfortunately, I had the pleasure of drawing the rest of the truck also, so here ya go! remember to measure your truck, as this one may not match the truck you're doing 100%. Also, my slat pattern is NOT correct on this.

I think fellers sells it by the yard. I would recommend laminating it.

I would run by a dealership and take actual measurements, for curved windows like these I always measure them myself. I also allow a few inches of bleed (adjustment) just in case for these windows. Also look at where the rear wiper arm sits and it it blocks any of the window. Note: On complex...

All documents or just this one? It looks like you have a corrupt document to me. Save as a new document, flatten transparency, etc and try sending again.

Looks a bit similar to Eurostile Condensed Italic, but not exact.

We run two JV3s here and keep regular maintenance on them. After replacing the screws in the capping stations (those tend to eat heads!) we have yet to replace any heads here either. And yes, we DO run a LOT of vinyl through ours.

laminate it, you might want to start looking for a more educated supplier. We edge print on it here a lot and always laminate it.

have it print out some fine text, I keep hearing that the new latex printers are very nice and fast, but the quality of fine details is really poor is what I am hearing. I guess that is where they sacrificed for speed.

Fire Truck Here is a template for a Pierce fire truck, at 50% scale. Sorry I didn't do the front/back, but nothing was going on the front and the rear was just getting chevrons so I didn't have to draw them. ;)

I've never wrapped one, but looks like a lot more of a PITA than you would think. For oddball wraps like this that no template exists for I use this method: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?119932-Phototex-for-Templates
