One of my printers is an sp540, slower but a good workhorse. +Outsource! Let me guess...someone charged you too much for your race car wrap and you are just going to do it yourself. Ever run a printer? Ever do maintenance on one? It is a daily process? Ever run a laminator? If no buy 2-3 extra...

I do stencils for a guy who blasts mirrors. I use oracal 651, 1/2 letters are about the smallest I have done for him.

++let it sit at least an hour or two. I use a big squeegie and can easily lay down a whole 48"x96" print by myself.

NEVER....EVER tell a customer something is going to last ten years....9 years and 11 months you will be getting a call.

On a budget then try a big squeegie. I use it more than my laminator, most of my prints are 8' or less by 30" and 54"

Have you ever changed the caps? That helped my black issue. Also show us a test print.

++those old style pumps are known for that. Change the pump and all will be good. Not a real had job. The new style "click" when they operate, so if you don't hear that clicking sound you have the old style pump.

Window glare and "silvering". I bet if you look at it in a week it will look a bit different. Inside lettering will never be a bright as outside installed.

++for the cable. Just replaced one and fixed it right up. Not a hard job if you have worked on these printers before, but takes a while to do. Pulling all the little plastic rivets that hold the cable down without messing them up is about the hardest part (they DO NOT include new ones with the...

2" crop marks don't sound right to me. Try and trim the laminate off the crop marks and see if that helps, when I have problems that has worked every time.

My boy Emmett is 4 and he "helps" in the shop.

Be sure to use an air release film. Go on youtube, there are loads of install vids on there.

Back in "the day" I had a wall with brackets to hold up to an 8'x40' sign and I applied the lettering by hand. Now in my old age (42) I letter two 4x8's at a time and keep going down the line, never seeing the whole sign until install....makes me nervous, but since I am now a one man shop easier...

I just want to give a shout out to Allison from Far From Normal. I just picked up another Roland printer from them, 540i, Roland was having a "fire sale" on them. Anyway, great service, great pricing (Roland sale anyway). Just want to give them a super positive review for service, speed and...

A good Christian would not ask for a handout...just saying.

Welcome, I start when I was 15, back in 1988.

VHB will hold it. No etching or anything, just make sure it is clean.
