  1. Material suggestions for graphic application over rivets

    I have to side with others. I've been installing for a year +, not much on vehicles.. but boxes with 20-30 rivets each. I still mess up and the rivets don't look perfect. Luckly it doesn't matter and we can just let it be. I had to be shown how to do it, all the videos online teach you nothing...
  2. Question Install on Gas Pumps

    $75 seems pretty low. How many graphics are going to be applied? I'd think it'll take more than an hour to do a full install... If its everything pictured, you'll have to install and cut around the 3 pump buttons / prices, Do the lower half.. and it looks like 5, maybe 6 other decals? Getting...
  3. Suggestions Cut vinyl for floors

    Product Catalogue: 3M™ 3645 Floor Overlaminate This is what we use. Just used it on some 180, in a very high traffic 10-20,000 people per day area. It's been up a few months, and no signs of peeling yet. We've used it in the past... but I haven't been back to where we applied it, been a few...
  4. Need Help Can anyone help with a WIFI issue?

    Your router has 2.4 GHZ, and 5 GHZ signals - Are you connecting to the 2.4? Also, under your router settings... Should be under wireless, an option called wireless mode.. Is it set to B/G/N Mixed? Sometimes its set to N only, and if thats the case it'll deny all devices that arent N, and i'm...
  5. Need Help Can anyone help with a WIFI issue?

    Alright.. so a 169 IP address means your device is not connected to the wifi at all. 169.xxx.xxx.xxx means it could not get an IP address, so it gave itself one. You don't need to setup port forwarding (at least you shouldn't) because ports aren't usually blocked via local network, only to the...
  6. My website link has been hijacked

    did you get it fixed? I don't see anything wrong with it via google search.. just the description being wrong. Did it actually redirect before? (Doesn't seem to be now.. so if it did, looks like its fixed)., once google re-crawls the website, usually within a week, the description/meta tags...
  7. Using 3m Ij35 On Vehicles?

    It boggles my mind why some people cheap out on vinyl. I've worked for a big company for years, I've done hundreds of vehicle decal installs, box wraps, you name it. Just the print quality alone, not even install quality... But the way the decal looks on ij35 compared to 180 is day and night...
  8. Using 3m Ij35 On Vehicles?

    You can use anything you want for vehicles. But what's the difference between ij35 and 180, $.50 - 1 a sqft? I'd rather pay the extra$5 to print a logo on a material that won't shrink, and is rated for vehicle grade, and not worry the customer will be back in a year or two because the decal is...
  9. Question Strange ink drop pattern mid print???

    I've had that happen on a small scale, like your bottom picture. When printing stuff with a lot of white space, it almost always happens. Usually whenever there's a lot of white space, I turn on the color bars and it prevents that from happening. I don't know if that would cause whats...
  10. Speaking of stupid...... here's a stupid one......................

    Count yourself lucky. We had an order for 300 coro House for sale arrows. We used our flatbed since they wanted fancy graphics and pictures. I was just starting and learning... Art department says they set it up so it doesn't matter which direction you put it in, it'll be correct. we used 24x24...
  11. Discussion Your approach................................

    From what I've seen on here, you run a pretty respectable shop. I'd let her know something doesn't seem right about the size, Tell her you'd charge xx for the size she requested, but based on the image she sent, you believe its a different size, and the cost would be xx. In the perfect world...
  12. Speaking of stupid...... here's a stupid one......................

    We do a lot of transportation signs. Not sure if they're popular in USA... But at least here in bc Canada, Everytime there's a construction project on the highway going on there's big "xx to xx project to be finished in year xx! Total cost: x million. Creating xx number of jobs!" One was a...
  13. Need help finding copyright owner on a design

    Just to be clear... I don't think because everyone is doing it, it's ok to do it. I pointed out everyone is doing it, so it's going to be hard to find the original owner. Just like when you guys design a logo for someone, you don't head on over to the copyright office and copyright it, I...
  14. Need help finding copyright owner on a design

    The one that 1000's of people are selling on ebay for $2? good luck... Stuff like that usually isn't copyrighted in the traditional sense. Some guy probably designed it, posted it, and everyone ripped him off. I doubt he filed a copyright for it.. https://****itstickers.com/ I found this, it...
  15. Do seams on perforated vinyl hold up well?

    How long will the sign be up? Weve done it before. We do horizontal... Vertical looks bad. Just make sure to overlap the bottom piece, that way rain won't sit in the edge and cause it to peel. We don't use edge tape.. though we do laminate, our graphics sit for 3-4 months then get replaced...
  16. Does anyone have a spare licence of Vinylmaster XPT for sale

    The rip software takes thousands and thousands of hours, and theres not as much demand. Photoshop has millions upon millions of people, where as rip programs have thousands upon thousands - So while photoshop can charge xx, multiply that by millions of users... and they make good proffit. Rip...
  17. Does anyone have a spare licence of Vinylmaster XPT for sale

    It doesn't hurt to e-mail and ask. If it's for a REAL charity, they'll probably kick in and give it to you for a discount. If it's just a "I want to print cool shit for my friends, so I wont be making profit" They'll probably say too bad. If it's for a bonified charity, they can write it off as...
  18. Does anyone have a spare licence of Vinylmaster XPT for sale

    They sell XPT for $100 for schools and students, perhaps if you explain you're doing it for charity and not a business, they will give it to you for a discount. These machines are pretty expensive to run though... I don't want to sound rude, but if you cant afford the rip, the first time...
  19. Does anyone have a spare licence of Vinylmaster XPT for sale

    It's probably limited to 4 computers on the same IP. And even if it isn't, it's probably against the tos to share..so I don't think anyone would risk their subscription for it. Are you just trying to see if the printer works? You can do trials of onyx, and I think flexi to test it. Rips are...
  20. Does anyone have a spare licence of Vinylmaster XPT for sale

    It's $699, or 18 payments of $44 a month... it cant be that expensive. You could make your money back in 1-2 lucky jobs. I dont know where you saw you get 4 licenses, but it looks like you only get 1. So you'll have to find someone who doesnt want their software anymore, if you want to buy it...
