  1. Shinerite vinyl on box truck with rivets

    shinerite shrinks like friggin crazy. use 651 and heat gun it. i love shinerite for race cars, but it shrinks like 3/32" in a matter of weeks outside.
  2. Thermal vs Inkjet

    as far as only having the Big Squeegee...you can get away with it for a while. i laminated about 2 rolls worth by hand with the BS before i got my ledco. if your current jobs could all be accomplished with a 30" machine then most of your inkjet jobs can be as well. i love my 30" vp-300i...

    2006 GMC 3500 Sierra with an oil burner and an allison. Bullydog and a Dunkin Donuts bumper ornament :) by far the best vehicle i've ever owned...4 years and 90k later i still love it. weighs like 7000lbs and gets 20mpg+ :) gas motors are good for string trimmers and stuff like that...
  5. New or used VersaCAMM?

    i have a vp-300i and love it. fits where i need it to fit, i craigslisted a laminator that works awesome...and when i need larger prints there are plenty of people ready to jump when i email to sub them out. the Big Squeegee works great with anything but oracal 210, imo... :)
  6. Do you consider your local competion friend or foe?

    there are a few in my area..some are REAL good, others are decent, and most are bigger than me. i walked into and introduced myself to two semi local shops and was met both times graciously. ive even run myself outta ink and went and bought a cart from one (that was nice of him). i like...

  8. Banner Tape

    i use powertape (single sided). seems to tunnel less and the finished product looks better to me with no fold.
  9. Race Car, my first wrap with my own machine!

    Knep..if its new super clean aluminum i use 3621 ive learned if the surface isnt perfectly clean it'll lift in some areas. i just re-did half our car in 3165ra/210..that worked great on some "less than straight" areas, and it's what i use on lots of my digital print stuff...so i'll...
  10. Race Car, my first wrap with my own machine!

    i like it! what material did you use?
  11. Getting started as a hobby

    i mostly ignore this forum. not alot to learn and definately not a lot of laughs in the new member/newbie area of 101. there's a few things going on but mostly its typical message board behavior. n00b bashing is normal, as virtual anonymity and post count numbers build e-muscles and give...

  15. Check out this old KFC add from the 80's

    popeyes rules...kfc gives me bubblegut. but im 200 miles away from a popeyes so....i avoid the place as much as possible.
  16. Bumping Heads w/ the Internet

    i wouldnt ever do double sided 18x24's that cheap...i did 75 of them half that size and got almost that much per. (and it sucked) do good work, dont sell yourself short and let the lowballers move on.
  17. Can Epson Stylus 7800 be used for printing cra wrap vinyl and window decals?

    nope. need a solvent printer for that.
  18. What's wrong? Pic attached

    mine did that...another cleaning and it was perfect again. only on certain settings in VW too. it was at its worst just after a cleaning. then i did another, waited a spell and it was perfect again.
  19. Flourescent colors

    i have the roland color system library and nothing on there even approaches fluro-ish at all. some pretty decent greens are attainable but orange? not even worth a test print on a cmyk machine.
  20. Design positioning

    yeah @ white box then i tick the trim marks tab in versaworks so i know where to cut it.
