You used a 7 year Calendared vinyl in a full sun application with a 4 year calendared laminate. Both were not good choices for durability and for the effects of the full sun. I believe what you are seeing here is the extra energy from the sun causing the calendared vinyl to try to return to a...

I would expect the customer would need application tape to keep everything pre-spaced, but if you want to go to some trouble, you could cut out some of the blue and use a roller to apply some orange before putting it in your plotter to cut - your math would have to be good so everything is...

You might consider getting a creeper stool or knee creeper: https://www.amazon.com/Omega-91452-Black-Profile-Z-Creeper/dp/B007OAGMYW/ref=sr_1_75?keywords=creeper+stool&qid=1669902836&sr=8-75...

Not tough to do, just do it wet with Rapid Tac or comparable. You can mask the vinyl if you want to prevent scratches, and cut it to size - or cut it close and trim at install. Just mist the window and the adhesive side of the vinyl, use a squeegee with a felt or microfiber coated edge, push the...

Upgrading to Flexi 19 is not a terrible idea... But your FC9000 will work in standard plot mode if you name it a FC8600 and choose that in your drop down. I don't think you can plot using crop marks unless you have it installed as FC9000 and choose that in the drop down.

Most ceiling tiles crumble fairly easily... I suggest following Moze's advice.

We use 680CR and Oralite 5650 RA. Both are excellent. The 680CR is a touch better applying and sticking to compound curves (I say that as someone who like Orafol products better than 3M). Differences are small. On flat surface, no advantage to either. We have applied non-air release reflective...

That right there... We use our UV to flatbed print direct onto MDO, Composite, Aluminum, Coroplast, Magnetics, and sometimes Acrylic or Vinyl. The advantage is labor saving for most of these - no assembly, just print and install. We do laminate such prints if they are to be up for years. For...

48 points, the largest type spec'd, is .667 inches - so the text would be tiny

We use a Roland XR-640 and Eco-Solv Max2 inks. Solvent inks affect the vinyl and adhesive. We have found that you sometimes get curling if you cut immediately after printing, but you do not if you let it off gas for a few hours or overnight. We have laminated some prints, it is just most...

For wall murals, we almost never laminate, but we still off gas the print before cutting. This helps prevent edge curling of full bleed areas.

I believe you need to create an account to add it to your cart at Beacon Graphics. But they have an 800 number. I think you are looking for the Series 1 or 2 https://www.beacongraphics.com/supplies/tools/bigsqueegee.html

Did you check out the other two links? There are many versions of the Big Squeegee

As everyone has said, never apply air egress wet - because it traps the liquid which later pools in areas and becomes a problem. Upgrade your skills - take a wrap class. The basics of wrapping a bed would be to do long horizontal strokes, skip over valleys and then use some heat to get the vinyl...

We have a Roland XR640 and do not have any issues with color shift. It has been a great workhorse. That said, I like the looks of the new Epson S80600 and its print gamet.

I know you don't want to hear it, but problem here is the wrong materials were used. Calendared is really meant for short-term vehicle graphics and does not conform to curves as well as cast vinyl. It is also less dimensionally stable. You've already gotten some good advice within the parameters...

This right here.

We print onto clear vinyl and apply and onto white translucent and apply over that. This gives you daytime look of a single pass of color (just as you see it) and at night the passes through both layers which richens up the color. It is not hard to align the two layers

We just buy Wagner Furno 300s from the local hardware store. They are less than $30 bucks, so if one gets dropped it is not that big a deal; nothing worse than spending big bucks on a deluxe heat gun and dropping it. Really like the way they are designed so that you can set them down pointed up...
