  2. Choosing the best equipment set up?

    6' banner finished to 70", 4' banner finished to 46", 3' banner finished to 34" since 1986. Besides, it is a BANNER! Couple of inches won't matter. You might have a printer issue if you have margin problem, For a 20' banner, if it travel 1", not a big deal. It is a BANNER for God's sake...

  9. Hey Betsy from 3M!

    There was an 3M official answer from another threat last week. Pretty much what Coloradowrap said, that the dealer sell, finance the job, and have installers install. For that, I believe there will and should be a bunch of pre-designed graphic package (think about pinstriping ) to entice the...
