Had a problem with our cling sticking to my VG2 540 side media clamps and not letting it advance and causing it to bunch up and accordion behind the media clamps until it head struck... I technically hadnt cleaned them with alcohol for a while (which might have helped) but it had been fine on...

Some 3M adhesion promoter would help but I doubt there is any way to wrap that completely...those hard inside corners will peel back up... You could pre wrap the indents with smaller section of vinyl with as few seams as possible and then wrap the entire outside in one and trim away the indent...

I would go 3M 180/8518 all day but you will still need to use adhesion primer and slit those deep Sprinter channels.

You print on white media and laminate the front of it with a clear two sided adhesive film to apply interior, works great.

I do layouts at 10% size then size up to 100% for final print slug prep and export... Small stuff I send at 300dpi, large format stuff at 150 if possible but even 75+ is ok if you add some pixels and view from a distance to take in the whole pic...rather than blur I re-rasterize low res pic at...

Have had several Rolands over years...the newer ones I have print beautiful and cut just fine... I also used stand alone graphtec cutters for years and have never noticed the huge leap in cutting quality some talk about from a stand alone cutter compared to the roland. Unless you need to print...

It might sound nice to find a dumb cheap installer but since installing is the most labor intensive part of wrapping they should be making most of that install profit not you. You make money on printing and design but you are going to have problems if you want to make the profit on install...

Dry Ice, where have you been all my life? Would defo like to see a real life demo of that...looked like he took paint off one of them but would be cool if you could control that.

Perf has problems with short lifespan, doesn't work when backlit at night or slightly dimming image because of the holes... ...but what kind of reason is "I already tinted them"??? Especially when he is prepared to block them entirely?? lol So weird...if you actually want to totally block vision...

We cut a lot of decals down into horizontal strips and then hand bomb with guillotine but I have taken normal print/lam/cut/weeded decals from the VG3 and contour cut them out of the backing with our c02 laser before... Takes a lil extra time to set it up so the job cuts down into sheets that...

We never use a rubber wheel except as last resort on an old truck that already had bad paint...found the friction always messed with the finish of anything we tried it on... once we switched to 3M 180 it became less of a problem as it removes so well with just a heat gun. Use mostly varsol for...

Didnt say it didnt work well...its works too well so you cant leave it on too long...old school pinstripers use it all the time for taking One Shot painted pinstripes/graphics off truck and car paint...you basically just need gloves or it will burn your hands... mask off around the area, spray...

I doubt they would actually match...isn't the Real Gold one way more expensive?

"I can't tell you what I want but I know what I don't like if I see it, give me a few drawings..."

I have a pretty good knack for pulling cool shit off at the last minute but after 25+ years its running a bit thin. Be better soon when the golf course opens up...run my own mostly online shop so last couple years I work steady/late all winter and get up early to walk a round of golf with some...

Two words...Astral Projection, lol When time to do a quote my spirit leaves my body and flys around doing the job in another dimension while I watch from my mind palace and estimate how long it takes that fatass to complete the job. When done I return to my mortal coil with a gasp like the tail...

Try adding cleaner solution to your capping stations with syringe to see if they drain properly...should drain in a couple seconds...helps to give the sponges a gentle scrub with swab as well to get rid of any crust... Also if they are clogged or dirty the capping station wont be able to seal...

Blue dots have always meant I needed to clean the head...those dropped out jets might only be partially clogged or deflecting so they pool and drip rather than hitting the material like they are supposed to...the lines through the drip might even be a hair stuck to the head dragging through the...

Depends if the customer gave the tip freely...I have taken a surprise tip from a customer on a nice job but also seen an installer not so slyly suggest he could "take care" of a customer request if they "took care of him" for doing something he should have done anyway as part of his job...

The roll of material that typically comes with a new printer is only good for the tech to print tests while setting up the machine...it is super cheap, our tech even told us not to bother using it because it was so bad...I only kept it for them to use if they come back for service, it shrinks...
