I've had good luck with avery 2611, it's a vinyl wall film as opposed to a fabric like phototex, but it works great and contour cuts MUCH better than phototex

I would recommend you try subbing out the production to a wholesale printer first, if after 6 months you feel you would make enough money to warrant buying your own printer and the headaches that come with it, you can do so. No point jumping in with both feet first.

Ottawa, I wish, I'm in the Hammer lol

Do you know how long of a working time you have with the #4 before it sets? We normally use acryweld, but it has a working time of about 3 seconds, which is a major PITA

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one, Like I said, I've got shirts we printed 2-3 years ago that are holding up just fine, I've had screen printed shirts crack and fall apart after a year.

Yeah I came to the same conclusion about screwing right through the discs, that idea sounds like a winner to me! Cheers everyone :toasting:

tell them if they come to your shop and weed vinyl for you, they can keep the left over vinyl :)

I've seen your designs, they are pretty good, If you can do what you say you can, and feel like re locating to Canada, I'd give ya a job, with free healthcare ;)

Yes the back is going to be visible from inside the shop :(

I've never had much luck with tapping acrylic, it always cracks on me lol. is there any adhesive you would trust in this situation? My main concern will be the big temperature swings we get here from summer to winter

Hey all: I'm making a sign for a client, pretty simple, MDO backboard, painted with latex paints, I cut some letters out of 1/4" acrylic, which I want to mount on standoffs to the board. I cut little 0.5" dia. circles out of 3/8" thick acrylic to use as my standoffs, these will be fastened to...

I have some work shirts I printed about 3 years ago on heat transfer, the shirt is starting to look a bit ratty, but the print looks fine. I don't turn mine inside out to wash or dry either.

Yeah if I walked into a car dealer and they had that on display, I would feel like a number too! That aside, good job

I didn't see a straight answer to any of the concerns in this thread on that entire page, it looks like it was written by a politician. :frustrated::iamwithstupid

I Asked this question a few pages ago, but no one has answered it so far, What are you going to do if a client specifies 3M media be used on their wrap jobs? As I understand it, most fleet work specifically specs 3M media.

Sounds a tad high, but not unreasonable at all

I would be straight with him, tell him that you are not going to just give him the files you created so he can get them printed somewhere else, if he wants them he will have to pay for you to release them. Only you can know what to charge, there are far too many variables to consider for us to...

We quoted on producing and installing a bunch of standard parking signs for a school once, quoted the job on 0.080" aluminum, reflective as per the spec, we lost the job to a lowballer, went back a few months later, they used 0.020" thick trophy plate aluminum, every one of the signs were bent...

Wow! I've never wrapped anything more than box trucks and trailers, but a few months ago I took the Avery wrap course with Justin Pate and I can tell you that the cargo van they had us wrap looked 100x better than this, and at least 75% of us had never wrapped anything with a curve!

DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!!! I just made the mistake of looking, it's very gross!
