  1. Laminator Options?

    I have a 54" made by that same company, but it's an older model with the roll holders cheaply made (rolls fall off...). It looks like the "AK" line is built better, just worries me with the pressure issues I've had with mine. Do any laminators have automatic take-up of the laminated product...
  2. Laminator Options?

    We've been struggling with a "cheapo Chinese laminator" for years now, it's time to upgrade. What features and/or models would you recommend? Our printer is a GS6000, but we have not had to laminate anything wider than 54" media, so a 54" laminator is what we're looking for. One of our...

  4. LG's LD383TG 54in for 58 bucks at Nglantz

    Thanks for the heads up! Checking their surplus list now, golf/yard sign vinyl HAS to be cheap.

  7. Van graphics

    X2 on this suggestion.
  8. Alright, Is ultraflex jetflex matte reverse wound?

    Most banner material we get is reverse wound, but I would assume that your supplier should be able to get whichever winding of the material that your printer likes. Just ask them or specify which way it is wound when you order it.
  9. First "real" wrap

    Very nice work, what color was the car originally?
  10. template help

    Here is mine, feel free to plagiarize it if you like it.
  11. Application tape dispenser?

    2x4's screwed to the table legs, dowel rods with pole mounts; one the dowl removal end; the other the complete circle. Has worked great for years now (dowel has never fallen out). it's easiest from the bottom dowel, so we mostly just use it, but I can use the 2nd one up just fine also. The junk...
  12. A few Racecars from the past few weeks.

    Do they pay well over there? I provide wholesale printing to someone around here who keeps trying to sell wraps to these dirt track guys. Sold a few, but they always seem to not want to pay for the wrap they want...
  13. What material for floor graphics?

    Floor graphics will not work where wheels spin on them without a (non-slip) coating over them. Think of taking the "eraser wheel" to the graphics; things that turn/spin peel them up, especially if the tires are warm. The way I've seen many forklift drivers drive; I would not doubt that...
  14. dilemma...

    How did the final product turn out? When I'm running striping (usually an ambulance box), I get out the tape measure & grease pencil. Measure off of a straight edge & put a dash every few feet. Then you really can't go wrong & everything will meet up.
  15. SP540V alignment / stair stepping problem? photos attached

    It reads from both left to right & right to left; based upon the travel of the head IIRC - so stair-stepping to either side IS possible. After you clean that strip, double-clean it & the eye sensor. Make sure you clean the strip behind where the eye "parks". If you still have stair-stepping...
  16. Ford Police Interceptor?

    It's the same as 2012 Taurus; PVO 2012 has it, or use my free template (RE-SCALE IT CORRECTLY - drawing was not to scale!) in the link above if you don't have the new PVO updates.
  17. dilemma...

    Center it top to bottom in the middle, it should flow like the lines do once applied. That's really all you can do anyways...
  18. small defects after laminating

    Is it possible that your rollers on your laminator have a small dent/nick that is causing this? Is it always on one side/area of the material?
  19. 3M 8518 lam issue

    I've seen it a few times, the torch usually took it right out after/during installation. (if this is the same issue) I've also seen similar on 3M cut vinyl, came out with torch also.
  20. new printer

    Check your suppliers for used equipment; if you're not 100% on buying "brand new" equipment. http://www.advantagesignsupply.com/Products-Store-SignSupplies-Vinyl-Banner-Ink-Printer-Paper-Foils-Tape-Software/Used-Equipment The GS6000/FC8000 combo is what we have running in our shop.
