    I am printing a printed wrap for a car. It's camo on the sides with the hood, roof and trunk a solid grey color. We lucked out and selected this "clay finish" look.

  6. Discussion HP 315

    Does anyone else think that loading this printer is a poor design. I've had it for almost 2 years now. There is a "loader" that you put the roll of vinyl on. Then you put the spindle in the roll and place the hub on the end of the roll. When doing this, it secures the roll onto the spindle. You...

    I bought some optically clear laminate for the window perf. The instructions on the sheet say to let it lay flat for 12 hours before applying. Can someone tell me why? and will it mess up if we apply it now rather than wait 12 hours?
