I'd run these on OraCal 3551 Rapid Air polymetric intermediate vinyl and use an intermediate laminate. Weed, trim out and ready to apply The Rapid Air (air release) is perfect for ease of installation and being polymetric it would be very stable. Other brands should have equivalents.

I suggest biting the bullet and upgrading. We previously used Avery reflective and it was much harder to lay and didn't like to lay in contour or stick to edges. We've been using 3M ever since some of our Fire Company repairs required it and now stock several colors in 3M - we no longer purchase...

Yes, we do use 600x1200 on large signs and 1200x1200 for most of our stuff. But 600x1200 actually comes out really well for us. So maybe needs calibration for that quality.

We have the XR640 and you hold the Sheet Cut buttom for 2 seconds and it beeps and then proceeds to go across the vinyl and cut it on the way back

We have the UCJV330 and love it. Instant dry, fast, high resolution, great color gamut, can print color white and then color on clear films and vinyl, easy maintenance. Only negatives are that the machine likes to go to sleep often if not running, and it decides to recirculate the ink for 15...

if you set the print and cut up in Flexi and add the marks, and then print in Versaworks, you put the print in the Graphtec and initialize it, then you move the knife bland to the center of the right hand crop mark (standing in front of the machine) and instead of choosing Cut/Plot you choose...

Any good cast vinyl. If printing I would recommend: Avery MPI1105, OraFol 3951RA, or any other air release cast vinyl with strong initial tack. Laminate it with a good UV cast laminate and you are good.

Sounds like air in the head. You should have a bleed line for each head with which you can uncap the line, aim it down into the waste ink, and hit your Ink Priming button. I would do them all. Alternatively or after bleeding the line, you could lower the vacuum pressure and let the heads drip...

Yes, free standing or attached to a post the wind can bend these. I would use 080 Aluminum or 1/2' MDO Plywood as a base in this case

Good people don't cost you money, they make you money. You have to pay him more to keep him, otherwise you perpetually start and train people for other companies.

For vehicles we use cast vinyl with a cast uv laminate - either a wrap vinyl for full or partial wraps, or a air release vinyl for partial wraps or large logos. For box trucks we have wrapped the box (basically a flat surface) with cast wrap vinyl, cast air release vinyl, or with polymeric air...

Use Cast UV Laminate and plot the lettering out larger than the Sign Gold. Note: Sign Golds says you should edge seal it, so I think the issue isn't the material but to protect the adhesive and edges from wear.

Oracal 3551 Rapid Air, Briteline Intermediate Wrap Film - two good choices with low price points.

We have a customer that wants us to print a polycarbonate face for a compass. The inks must be resistant to mineral oil or the vinyl and inks must be resistant to mineral oil. Anyone have any ideas what will work? We have Gerber Edge, a Roland Eco Solvent, a Mimaki UV roll to roll, and a...

Can also print on clear and apply that to SignGold and then cut it out (using cropmarks/barcode)

We use mostly 3M ScotchLite 680CR series - removes well, air release so lays well, comforms better than others. Have used Oralite 5650 and Avery reflectives, but changed with no regrets

If your guys clean it properly, including crevices and edges, remove some parts, how can you do it in less than a day (unless you have a NASCAR crew)? If a customer bulks at the time explain that if the vehicle is not properly prepped then they will get a poor wrap with bumps from dirt spots and...

We never promise a full wrap in one day. technically the vehicle should sit overnight in your shop before having the customer pick it up. Over 50% of our customers don't pick their vehicles up on the day they are supposed to... better to call a customer and let them know you need another day...

You are going to love the addition of the flatbed printer. It let's you print onto signs up to 4x8 (or5x10ft) without having to layout and apply the individual graphics. Fast. We do a fair number of Real Estate and Lot signs on ours. If they are going to be up for just a year, then we don't...

When we send to Versa Works and Raster Link the first dialogue box has a box to check for Selection Only. When we send to Onyx it does not and so we go File Export and drop it in the hot folder - during this process a dialogue box comes up and we choose selection only...
