  1. Re relettering Lexan?

    We have a customer who wants us to take the vinyl off a Lexan lit sign. It is white with black vinyl letters on the lower half. The want to take off those letters and put on some new info? Will there fading or a silo of the letters when we take it off? Obviously they're going cheap on us.

  3. Delete profiles in VW?

    Tried both of those and neither works. I also found the profile in the system folder and deleted that but it's still showing up in the list; now with an exclamation mark.

    How do you delete a profile in VersaWorks? It is greyed out when I go thru Media Explorer, select the profile and hit delete.
  5. Oracal vs. Arlon

    Man, wish I'd seen this post before. Did you laminate too, and it still peeled? Well, we bought two rolls, plus the lam. We're doing a couple trailers. I think we're going back to Oracal anyway - get what you pay for. 3M is the best but Oracal is doing all we need it to do.
  6. Arlon 4560 GTX?

    Ok, yeah, but I don't have tha same issue with Oracal. I'll try the other profile but it usually doesn't come out rich enough.
  7. Arlon 4560 GTX?

    Whoever thinks 3M 180c is the same price is crazy - unless I'm missing something. 4560 is more than half the price. Anyway, I'm using as VP-300 and printing "spot" colors and the ink tends bleed. More specifically the red and black are bleeding - any thoughts? I have the VW set up to recognize...
  8. Oracal vs. Arlon

    Arlon vs. Oracal I just looked in Fellers' book and the 3M 180c is three times as expensive as the Arlon 4560 GTX. Am I missing something?
  9. Oracal vs. Arlon

    I've been using Oracal 3551 for our vehicle wraps and large trailer jobs. I like the Rapid Air. I also have Oracal 3641 on hand for the "cheap stuff". Does anyone know of an equivalent Arlon product? I'm seeing DPF 4560 GTX X-Scape but I'm not familiar with their product line. I'm talking...
  10. Mac Users Meeting!!!

    I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4 with Parallels that runs my digital printer. I'm going to be updgrading soon and will probably just get a newer laptop. Only problem I have is the EWthernet port doesn't work so I'm stuck with wireless - which is great most of the time. I also have an old G4...

  12. How to print 2-sided banner on dig printer?

    I have a VP-300. How do I print 2 sides so they back up correctly? If I use the lead edge, is there a way to flip the print using the same file?
  13. Storing real estate signs?

    Customer is asking if we would store their signs. Sizes would be 4'x4' and 4'x8'. I suppose we'd do it on a yearly basis but how much to charge? We're charging for install/removal and travel. Plus they'd hopefully have us create the signs.
  14. Wrapping truck in just black vinyl?

    Thanks guys. Maybe he'll end up painting, but we'll price it out.
  15. Wrapping truck in just black vinyl?

    Customer want to wrap their vehicle in black vinyl (intead of paint it), and also have the grahics in print as well. Most of the vehicle will not have much graphics. Should we just print black/laminate and apply? I know there is black wrap but it's wicked expensive. We have a VP-300.
  16. CutContour not working

    Actually, it's more that it needs to be spot and the word "CutContour". You can make it any color - I usually use 75% black/spot. It was CMYK. I think it had to do with the PSD file I placed had layers - didn't like that. I ended up resaving without layers as a tif and seems to work now. Thanks all!
  17. CutContour not working

  18. What software should I get to Up-Res a photo

    I used Alien Skin and it worked well - until my Demo ran out. To buy it it's like $300. Does anyone know of a similar software that will work as well - but costs less? I'm running Mac OS 1 0.4.11, Photoshop CS3.
