some great suggestions.
i would definitely create a test of some sort with the purpose of them proving their ability to accurately read a tape measure..it amazes me how many ppl are incapable of this.
well instead of guessing what this mystery material is ... how about letting us know.
if it is small runs an overlay may be an option but it would look hokey in my opinion and it sounds like these guys want something unique and of quality..if they want something unique and of quality it is...
i battle this problem constantly but on a much bigger scale usually a few of my clients have automated presses with auto loaders and static is an absolute nightmare..but i battle it with plotters and printers as well. we employ a system similar to what you have developed on your own, anti static...
I'm an old soul I think I was born in the wrong era or maybe it is from a past life...
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
Then I fell in love, head over...

roundman there is other ways than paint or vinyl that would blow both of those out of the water....ask Gino how he would do it? i'll give a screaming hint put the substrate on the flatbed and print. if it is a rigid substrate there is no other way i would do this project.
i saw this post title the other day, i was busy and in a position where i couldnt read every thread and just made an assumption about what this thread was going to be about...only to open it and find out it wasn't what i assumed.
i have two clients that are TOTALLY battling static electricity...
you spelled that wrong...
do you always spell (insert any town name here) that way? (even though it is spelled correctly)
that's crooked (even though it is level or as straight as can be)
you get paid to do that?
i just give them the 'stare', some people say things that are so dumb...
is this happening with both wet and dry applications?
if it is wet applications are you using a reliable product?
lets try to isolate the conditions that are causing this so that people are not losing money.
my guess is that the manufacturers of the glass of these vehicles are treating it with a product that is not promoting adhesion. is this only happening with relatively new vehicles or can anyone report that this has happened on an older model vehicle?
