careful doubling up the cutcontour line. I had that happen by accident once and when it went to cut, the lines not only did a double cut but the double cut paths were stopping and starting at odd places... and in the end, I never got a full cut to go through. I had to disect the file, reset the...

+1 - totally forgot to mention speed. Some thicker media's need a slower speed for more favorable cut result. Also, I know you were asking what to do instead of changing the blade - I like to clean mine before each use as the adhesion periodically gums up causing the pivot of the blade to get...

Burns- can you get me the product number when you get a chance? It would be greatly appreciated. Looks like ClassicVue is the vehicle choice in ClearFocus products.. but then again, Ive heard both good and bad.. But in reality.. its window perf so theres always going to be a 50/50 or 65/35...

looks like the S from old OT called PrisonTatVT.

We use the graphtec 8000 and our force levels for laminated calendared decals are usually between the 25 and 30 mark. Sometimes the blade seems to get a little gummy - so I tend to do a force test on piece excess before advancing to my cuts. It takes a little extra time but is worth it in the...

I would love to check out some of your perf for the HP25500 that you mentioned on my thread in vinyl. I was wondering if you have any samples available or a link to pricing information that I can forward to my boss/shop owner. We are trying to nail down our perf selection today as we are getting...

Josh - Do you have a website link I could follow? Or samples I could try? We are looking for a solid source for great materials for the HP25500.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Still havent nailed down a selection. Im sure it will all happen tomorrow anyway.... Til then!

Any opinions on Solvex? That was referred to us by another company who's apparently been using it for quite some time. Ive read good and bad on the brand but have no first hand experience with it.

Window perf films - What are YOU using? We're running HP25500 with latex inks. So far we've used Briteline Window Perfs from Grimco with varied end results. First we noticed there was an issue with the laminate combination. We change from clearlam to curvalam... but its order time again and...

Autovue? I can't seem to find it anywhere on distributors websites or catalogs. Same with Promovue. Are these products limited to suppliers outside the states or am I missing something?

We will be checking with your supply company today. Thank you for all your help on this matter. I really appreciate the insight and suggestions. From what Ive researched and gathered from the replies, I feel much more confident in our future perf solutions. I know from experience in tinting auto...

We run a HP25500L with latex inks which allow us to laminate without the outgassing wait time, but in these instances that was not the issue as the prints sat for over 24 hours. Where the delam problem probably came from was not letting the lam'd prints sit for the 12 hour adhesion bond time...

and btw.. the briteline perf matched with clearlam WAS their suggestion for vehicle perf install. But like I said, the local employees were recently employees of another company that was bought out by the dist. Even though the products they sold were similar, the folks on site dont really have...

Our experience has been the exact opposite. But in their defense, they're just recently got ground in our area and the learning curve on their part has offset our production. Its an either, or; with them at this point. Convenient because they're the only local distributor we have.. Frustrating...

really, what is the RIGHT Window Perf with the RIGHT laminate? What do YOU's guys use for those? Im still learning the hard way. haha

So, as far as options wise on window perf, I would probably benefit more from going with the ClearFocus ClassicVue 50/50 film and using ClearFocus CurvaLam for vehicles - and sticking with that pattern, using Clear Focus ImageVue 65/35 or ReflectVue 70/30 for office/storefront installations also...

oops.. typo on Clearfocus.. my apologies

Thanks. CurvaLam... CURVA-lam.. ever had that DUH moment? I just did. Can you answer this? Is it more cost effective to use intermediate/efficiency standard media's like Briteline and Clear****us or does one end up getting better results/profit base in the long run by skipping over the low end...

We are currently using Briteline 50/50 and 65/35 perforated window films from Grimco and Clear-focus Clearlam over-laminate for all perf solutions. In both instances there has been problems post install. The problems seem consistent with eachother as the 65/35 went on our store front door...
