  1. finally got to try my new ustech laminator

    I can never get it to not stick to the roller. I am just not as pro I guess
  2. finally got to try my new ustech laminator

    I have been looking for a solution to clamps those cheap blue plastic piles do not work at all. At least for us. How do we insure that we have the paper in straight? I roll it underneath and try to get it as taunt as I can get it sticking it across the lam starting middle out. Wrong...
  3. finally got to try my new ustech laminator

    I cant seem to get the kraft paper to be smooth. It has to be in the way I am loading it or I have to be doing something wrong? It will feed fine and about 10 yards or so it starts getting really wrinkled and makes an annoying sound. It is just backing paper but it does have an affect on how...
  4. Printing Fluro inks on Mimaki JV4 using Onyx

    I think the only way you are going to get fluorescent is using fluorescent ink? Do not think there is a spot color for those.

    I have not seen pricing on the new 3M pricing what is the baseline they are asking for the material?

  7. Store front graphics

    Pat that is what I was thinking. Calandered should have worked it had to be in my prep mistakes. Honestly it did not come clean at all and I whiped a lot and there was always some type of dirt residue that came on the rag. Maybe I just need to spend more time cleaning the seals and all around...
  8. Store front graphics

    about 7 months ago I put 2 pieces of vinyl (I used IJ35c) on front windows for a salon. Everything seemed ok I went through a lot of papertowels and alchohol to get it clean and I THOUGHT it was clean enough. Drove by there last week and seen that the corners are peeling up as if it was not...
  9. vinyl for walls

    So Pat is it suppose to come off really easy in your experience with it? It doesnt fall off or corners peel or anything just if I get under it with anything it takes about no effort to lift it up. Just curious
  10. vinyl for walls

    what are the requirements as far as texture / paint for interior walls? I have a heavy textured wall and not sure what paint was used. I got a sample of phototex and it sticks better than anything I have tried but it still comes off SUPER easy. It just hasn't fallen off yet like the rest. I...
  11. Camaro Stripes

    Although I have not tried the knife-less tape way, to me it would be hard to make a 1/8" piece of tape straight and measure right over the bumper curves and what not. Sure you could just lay a piece of straight cut vinyl over bumper but it is not going to look right. Not saying knife-less...
  12. 2013 Shelby GT500 Stripes template or Kit?

    Unfortunately probably going to have to spend COUNTLESS hours making CORRECT templates. Hopefully they are not like 95% of the stripes I have seen lately. Even from the factory they are bad.
  13. Holographic Laminate.

    I have their sample book as well it must be a older one though cause I only have 1 3D lam on it. Looks awesome but have never ordered a roll to put it on top of a print.
  14. Printable translucent

    Yeah I am not sure how good I can get the registration to be on a 25' piece lol
  15. Printable translucent

    Insignia. With the avery should I be able to double up my print layering and print directly onto the media lam it and mount it? I seen a lot of people are using clear vinyl printing reverse and doing multiple steps. I want to make sure it still looks good lit up but its such a big sign...

  17. Printable translucent

    I really appreciate the info! Avery ordered up will be here in the morning.
  18. Printable translucent

    Good to know thank you. I have not used many Avery products but there isn't a wide variety for translucent that is affordable. Does Avery make a cast translucent or should I be ok with calandered for this small sign? I do not like a large amount of shrinkage that is what I am worried about.
  19. Printable translucent

    Any recommendations on a good printable translucent vinyl for a backlit sign? I am looking at either the Oracal 3850 or the Avery MPI 2050. Any good or bad on either of em? I normally stick to Oracal but the Avery is a bit cheaper they both are calandered only thing I notice is the mil...
  20. HP Latex users

    For years and years I hated the fact and almost wouldnt accept that its is hard to get a print that has absolutely NO banding or NO graininess in the prints. I fought and fought with my printers, rips and software to try to eliminate it. Fortunately the newer printers are getting better at...
