Yes I buy the PVA Film from China in 250 meter rolls. But, I don't think I have ever made a 100 meter run. I am just capable of running that much at one time. None of my customer want to buy that much custom printed film at one time. If they need that much, I just sell them the pattern and they...

Towable Manlift I used to have one here at the shop. It sat around so much that I started renting it out to other sign shops, at a lower price that you could rent them from the rental agency. And I found out that you don't want to rent it out to ANYONE, they will tear it up and say "sorry...

Hydrographic printing Good news Sightline the process is finally here in 2015, I've been printing custom hydrographics for the last six months, and it's been a blast! But I agree with you about the the actual dipping process, it's way too much work and hassle for me to do anything other than...

HydroGraphic Printing That's not true... You can have custom hydrographic prints made. As least now in 2015 you can!

HydroGraphic Prints Sure, small runs are possible! Most of my custom production is for 30 SqFt or less. "The full kit"? Are you asking about the "Secret Sauce" process or just want to know where to buy a kit of stuff to print on your desktop printer? Here is the printing process as it's...

HydroGraphic Printing I print custom hydrographic film for the wholesalers / industry. And yes you can print it on Epson Workforce printers, but you need to buy the whole kit. I print it on a different printer though. I can print 1 meter wide x 100 meters long with up to eight separate...

Hydrographic Film printing Sure! We print custom Hydrographic film here in house. Not a problem! Just PM me and we'll get the ball rolling.

That answer describes why I asked the question! I did tell Customer #2 that he would have to get a different design on his Hydrographic film order.

WOW! Thank you for that research, it is extremely helpful. Now I know how to proceed.

Actually, I found the problem! You need to cure it at a higher temperature. If you don't it leaves a "waxy" film on top of the print. Temps below 110 c should only be for aqueous receptive substrates.

Hydrographic Film printing.... That was my first impression also, but I've been put to rights with links to the Marine Corp licensing agency. Although, I won't recall what's already been printed. I think he has already dipped onto his motorcycle.

HydroGraphics Film Printing Thank you for the advice, I just threw it together from his description without charging him for the artwork. And yes I could change it a little for the second guy, but I have been admonished, rightly, to get a licence for the Marine corp logo before I make it...

Custom Hydrographic Prints There you go! An answer to the other question of the use of the Marine Corp logo. I will find out about the licensing the Logo for the hydrographic film pattern if it becomes popular! Right now it's a one off for one customer. I may have customer number two get the...

Thank you for a comprehensive reply., I will follow your suggestion!

Fortunately, the Armed Services are glad to have their logos used... Free advertising.

This is simply a matter of turning up the optimizer level. The optimizer "ink" is what helps the latex ink stick to the vinyl.

I have done that before, printing directly to the wrap vinyl on ecosolvent. It works well! Printing to Ultraflake metallic silver works extremely well also. Spectacular results!

I have a new customer that came to my shop and saw a Hydrographic pattern we were printing for another customer, and wanted to buy 100 meters of that pattern for his dipping service. I created the pattern for customer number 1, and haven't agreed to or discussed any exclusivity with him. The...

I see you're a fellow ShopBot owner. I particularly enjoy your custom diamond plated aluminum undercarriage... I just use my under table space for stupid ol' storage.

Cartoon Script... John, I particularly enjoyed your Basketball "Cartoon Script" Analogy. I enjoy/ learn from "learned" arguments that occasionally pop up here on the forum. When it resorts to simple name calling and not reasoned, rational points of view, it's not worth the price of admission.
