  1. 2017 Ford Superduty Template?

    I prefer working off of pictures for vehicle lettering and partial wrap designs. But for preparing a full wrap visual it is allot easier to use a vector template. All the body line are created and it saves allot of time. Problem is that the templates are not accurate as far as molding or...
  2. Buying polycarbonate & acrylic sheets from china ocean freight save 60% vs usa

    It is kind of inevitable that you were going to get comments about "Made in USA" in regards to your topic. I replied because i wanted the question posted. Would you be willing to spend more in order to save jobs. My personnal answer on it is "No". I view this the same way all business...
  3. Buying polycarbonate & acrylic sheets from china ocean freight save 60% vs usa

    China also subsidizes shipping exports. I understand wanting to save money. And honestly that's the way it is today. Think for yourself because no one else will. But when you are in a "we have to do something about losing our jobs" discussion. Then it's time to reflect on what you are...
  4. SC-500 won't take my software Color Choice II

    Color Choice 2 is for the SC-500 as well. But you do need a dongle for it to run. I had an SC-500 for 10 years.
  5. laser cutting acrylic question

    As long as you have air assist as you are cutting you should have no problem. I cut extruded and cast acrylic (Plexiglass) and both work just fine. Although the cast acrylic is best for a smoother cut/finish, extruded works great. Don't put Lexan in your laser! Then you will see sparks and...

    It is ... I recognize that 50's B movie type style every time :thumb:
  7. Something Funny....................................

    I don't know what's an LF File or SCP4 but i do know when a customer says keep the costs down, it means 4mm coroplast and a digital print with no lam. Then you tell them what to expect from that product and it's either "no problem" or we go up from there.
  8. Can't find it.....................................

    It's Humanist ... Can't find which number though. There are so many variations.

  14. Clear printable vinyl for windows

    I don't wish to buy a 150' roll of material for just three 7 foot windows. Especially cast material I can get 82 feet of Etched Matcac material. The Sihl ClearSOL WetCling mateiral comes in a 42"x100' (two other sizes available) with a really close price tag to Mactac's option. I really...
  15. Clear printable vinyl for windows

    What's the difference between 3651 clear and 3641 clear? I'm looking at Orafol's site and there does not seem to be much difference in it's application. Edit: I am using a Roland VS540

    Hey, thanks for the suggestions guys :thumb: I went and looked at the 3550 ClearSol and saw Grimco as a supplier. Contacted them and they did give me a price which fits in my budget but it is a new product and being in Canada ... Grimco Montreal is going to check availability for me. I...
  17. Clear printable vinyl for windows

    Vectorizing and cutting is not an option. It's a Photoshop montage of three of their own plans. (Pictures of the plans) So there is a visible paper gradient appearing as well.

    Like the title says ... I am looking for a clear vinyl that i could print on and install on interior office windows. Size of panels are in the 40" wide by 84" high. I have three of them to do. Opacity of colors is not an issue with this since i would be printing construction blueprints...
  19. Roland GX-24 Vinyl Tracking Issue

    You might need new pinch rollers. What may be happening is the rubber part of the roller detaches itself from the steel roller and starts to move around. This causes the vinyl to bunch up or go completely off track. I used a CAMM 1, 24" plotter for 17 years but had to change my rollers i...
  20. Not what I always thought...........................................

    You're right. It doesn't stay on very well. I always cut away my prints when installed over rubber trim. Edit to add: Funny thing. I have recently noticed a vehicle with marked trim. And i knew which shop had done the work and know they use 3M products. Told myself they probably used...
