  1. Need Help Ice damage on new graphics - how to stop from happening again

    Two different types were used. Avery MPI 1105 cast with gloss laminate and latex ink, die-cut and die-cut 3M IJ180C with liquid laminate, eco-solvent printer. The laminate is peeling up on the Avery and everything is peeling and cracking on the 3M.
  2. Need Help Ice damage on new graphics - how to stop from happening again

    So I live in Oklahoma and we get ice storms pretty frequently, and the most recent one has ruined a fleet of newly applied tanker graphics for my customer. I’ve attached a few photos of the damage. The ice tears film laminate off and all the vinyl off if it was liquid laminated. We are having...
  3. Need Help If Avery cast vinyl gets wet, will adhesive still work when it dries?

    Asking because I just finished installing a big piece of Avery on a garage door but was not able to apply it into the recesses before a surprise thunderstorm came through. The adhesive side is wet in places now, and I’m wondering if I can let it dry out if it will still stick? Obviously not...
  4. How to install these bay door wraps

    Yes it will be a full wrap, vector artwork. There will be cars on the artwork so it will show quite a bit if the images are distorted, but that would be a great idea to counteract it. Thank you.
  5. How to install these bay door wraps

    Hello Everyone! Just looking for some helpful input on how to install wraps over these garage bay doors. I will be using cast vinyl, Avery 1105MPI or 3MIJ180CV3 (not sure which yet) due to the recesses in the doors. I am just not sure if I should work the vinyl into all the recesses on the...
  6. Question Anyone ever install window perf on both sides of window?

    Originally they didn't want to change anything about the light let in, they just wanted some cool graphics facing the outside of the building on the windows. So I installed that perf a while back. Now they are wanting printed graphics facing the inside too and some of the light blocked. I...
  7. Question Anyone ever install window perf on both sides of window?

    Thank you Raum, that's a good idea. I may try something like that.
  8. Question Anyone ever install window perf on both sides of window?

    I have a client for whom I installed window perf for a while back, and they are now wanting the inside of the window covered as well. They don't care about visibility and just want to block more of the light, so I don't think putting window perf on the interior as well will be a problem but I...
  9. Question Has anyone tried double laminating prints for better protection? Needing solution to protect wrap.

  10. Question Has anyone tried double laminating prints for better protection? Needing solution to protect wrap.

    He has mud flaps behind the front wheels which should be preventing the chipping, but they just aren't able to catch everything.
  11. Question Has anyone tried double laminating prints for better protection? Needing solution to protect wrap.

    Sadly some of the damage is happening to the front of the dually fender wells, which have very complex curves. (Don't ask me how he managed to get rock chips up there) I'm looking at the 8 mil PPF by Orafol - Oraguard but it seems like it's all made for flat surfaces. I basically need the PPF...
  12. Question Has anyone tried double laminating prints for better protection? Needing solution to protect wrap.

    No, I'm charging for the redo installs as it is no fault of the vinyl, just ultra rough handling. I would like to find a solution to offer customers like this if there is one though, currently it protects his paint at least but still a pain to have to keep redoing panels all the time. Do you...
  13. Question Has anyone tried double laminating prints for better protection? Needing solution to protect wrap.

    I have a customer who is extremely hard on the wrap on his truck, and I've had to redo pieces of the wrap multiple times because they keep getting scratched/torn/chipped. I print on Avery MPI 1105 Cast with latex ink and 1360 lam. Normally I never have issues with vinyl getting damaged, just...
