How about Familiar Pro?

Years ago I tried to make my own sort of spreadsheet that everyone could keep open at their desktop and update as needed but no one seemed to be able to get the hang of it. I thought it worked pretty good but... "yeah, I'm calling to get a status update on my banner." salesperson replies...

Software? Might be nice. Have to check into it. We use custom designed paper workorders. 1. Order comes in and the sales staff fills out the workorder with all the particulars. 2. places the workorder and any supporting documents/illustrations into a "job jacket" 3. Place the job jacket into the...

Go ahead and post it here. I'm sure someone will hook you up.

I've seen the 500 series and really pleased that HP has listened. Looks to be a great product.

I was not consulted when ordering the 360. First of all I am not against Latex technology itself, it's this model. I have since learned is not suitable for small runs but rather large runs. On any given day we may print 5 banners, then 2 vehicle wraps, then a couple of paper prints, then on to...

For our HP360 we use the profile 3M 5100 6ml that was already preloaded. Should work for Oracal 5600 too though.

Our operating hours are 8:30 - 5:00 M-F. If business got tight I would consider shifting some people around and try adding Saturdays. Many people, myself included, will not leave work to get other business done. Give me a Saturday option and I'd be there in a heartbeat. Just saying.

Just out of curiosity why use a template? Why not use an actual photo?

Sorry to hear that. :banghead:

I actually use a CorelDraw macro in much the same fashion. We attach a 12" magnetic strip to the side, take the photo, import to Corel. draw a rectangle around the magnet, run the macro, image will scale to size. This will get you in the ballpark.

We haven't had very good success with the knifeless tape. Leaves too much of a rough edge. Maybe the material we use is too thick or something. If it's a "half wrap" i.e. stripes or "waves" it's trial and error. Making it look good in the proof is the easy part. Getting the cut down can take...

We don't use templates. Too many variables not covered (trim varies from model to model). Take a good side shot of the actual vehicle that's getting wrapped. Jot down some measurements (door width, etc.) Do your layout using clipping masks. For full wraps prints are usually done in rectangular...

We use alcohol on rigid media only. Rolled media is fed out about 3ft before printing anyway so any grime is passed.

put pre-mask over it then make a rubbing, take the premask off then apply to a flat board (pvc) and scan that in and redraw? or take a good photo and retrace

could it be a media feed issue? Sometime my first reg marks out are visible then the last ones will be cut off.

What file format? Hopefully not a vector pdf.

I agree on this one. Tearing them out will create enough of a jagged edge to catch in the wind.

On longer runs we tape onto the take-up (two person task). Shorter runs we just have a person to hold onto it until it's done.

Yeah, you're dead on. That's why I quit using that method. I could, however, alter the macro to convert selected to png then place on the proof template and make the pdf from that and also skip the password protection. I get logos using the same method too.
