Only working for a few hours Friday, otherwise everyone breathing down my neck will have to wait until monday.

Is the lead screw bright and shiny on the Y axis? If it is you may be in for a lead screw replacement. X & Y axis lead screws ran us $4k+ in the last 6 months. That was our 1st major service call for the machine in approximately 8yrs. I find that our machine does not like heavier lubrication...

Only thing I don't like about the Avery is not all the colors are 100% opaque. Not sure how the 3M stacks up in that regard.

You guys do nice stuff! Bummer about the 3M, I've moved entirely to the Avery too for paint wraps.

He can't use .dxf or .dwg files? If not I'm assuming he wants G-code? I don't know of any plug ins that would spit out G-code from illustrator.

I prefer the heatguns with the controls on the back which make them easier (for me) to turn them on and off one handed. Used to use torches exclusively, but I prefer a heatgun hands down now.

We digitally print UV direct to board when we need custom stuff. Cheaper than $3-$4 per square is gonna be tough to come by though, unless it's juicy quantities.

Lorenzo is our sales lead there, you can ask for him specifically. They definitely sell direct and they have a pretty fancy schmancy sale kit/chip chain of their products they'll give to you.

hahahah

I use some of these materials on display work we do. http://advtechnology.com/

Did you try calling them?

I'd totally do this if I had a Transit or something it would work on. All this needs is the porsche rims which isn't a big deal to add to the truck.

That ^^^ is prolly what I'd do. Rasterize the pieces, place into illy, add contour cuts and nest.

The body shop should know the paint manufacturer recommendations on how long the paint should outgas before a decal application. You can request them to double bake it also. I would adhere strictly to what the paint mfg recommends whether your client is pissed or not. You'll be to blame when...

be wary of 91% alcohol and the ever more popular water based paint that's coming on more and more vehicles. I use vinegar to clean the crap off and 70% isopropyl to degrease.

You fishing line masochists must love cleaning up the glue. With a cheap harbor freight tools plastic molding kit I'd try the emblems cold, then scalding hot from a heat gun and lastly try fishing line if nothing budged. New vehicles will usually shed at least a part of the letters clean off...

3M will not even blink at that approach ^^^^ A distributor maybe, but not 3M. This level of order isn't even a pimple on the pimple on their butt. I'm not crapping on Colorado by saying that, just pushing the point that 3M is so big.

The only side that sucks is the awning side. The rest of it is pretty cut and dry.

Lose Lose situation.
