  4. I need a slick method of laminating vinyl to aluminum sheet

    +1 for the flat bed laminator. If that is not in the budget or spacing, then a wet stick is the next best option for bubble free

  6. 3M IJ35C & Oracal 3651RA

    IMO no, we had 3 projects where the IJ35 vinyl separated from the adhesive. This was all with different rolls / Lot numbers so we are dedicated to Oracal.
  7. Just gotta rant...

    That right there is what chaps my @$$, the fact you are going to sell to the general public for less than the dedicated vinyl users (who have been using you for years) and then we have to contact you and negotiate for the same pricing you are freely offering to the general public......... This...
  8. Just gotta rant...

    no only are competitors driving the cost lower and lower each and every day, you also have to worry about vendors undercutting you and selling directly to the public at prices lower than what you can get the material for. http://www.cheetahwrap.com/about-cheetah-wrap/ THANKS FELLERS!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. Dumb perf question

    if you use ANY cal lam it will be foggy, the only lam you can use is optically clear. and even then it still has some haze to it. UN-laminated is the only way to have clear visibility
  10. Looking for a vinyl with really agressive adhesive

    you are going to need a low energy material (high tack) we have had great results with Arlon DPF 8000 Orajet 3015HT also comes to mind but is more costly last I checked
  11. Bordeaux Inks?

    From my understanding, if you run the machine everyday, multiple hours per day then you can run 3rd party inks with no issues. It is when the machine sits idle with 3rd party inks, this is where the problems arise and cause issues. granted this is coming from someone who uses OEM inks and has...
  12. Time for a new printer... where do I start

    HP & Summa are doing some package deals that are better than the Roland machines by themselves The key point if going to be your comfort level and maintenance. If you are good with machines - shop for the best deal or look at china, they have some amazing pricing and good quality machines...
  13. window perf and one way vision..

    +1 think of the last movie / TV show where they had an interview room and observation room. The observation is ALWAYS DARK This is ONLY way to achieve one way visibility. yes the 1st customer should have been done on frosted vinyl

    whenever we do ANY type of vehicle graphics, we always have them sign a contract detailing what to expect and also give them an itemized ( with pictures) on how to clean the vehicle...
  17. Vinyl for Tractor

    because they have a different energy level at the surface. take a piece of vinyl and try to stick it to an ice chest ( plastic cooler) and see how that works. these low energy surfaces MUST have a high tack adhesive
  18. Font Deal

    They are running another deal, for those not on their mailing list https://www.inkydeals.com/deal/fontpack-pro-master-collection-2015/

    we always match the grommet to the press, we have a hiker and get the grommets from Reece. the hiker grommets are always same price or cheaper than the 3rd party ones

    just make sure you clean the vent otherwise you run the risk of fire with the build up of nest material
