  1. 3M MCS Certified Printer Suggestions

    Is that an official 3M document? Complete with misspellings? Strange.
  2. Those with Rolands with take up issues...our solution *video inside*

    Looks like the video is down. I'm VERY interested in your solution! The floppy left side syndrome is exhausting!!
  3. Roland VS 640 Test Print Bad Magenta, Missing Color, Damper

    Several power cleans? You might as well burn money. That's a waste of ink.
  4. How long of a cut can you expect to make on an XR?

    We have two XR640s. One pretty much only runs wraps. I keep the heater on that one at default 104/108/130. I keep the heater settings a little lower on one that we use more for often for print/lam/cut stuff. Somewhere around 96/98/118. If we need it for wraps, I'll bump it back up to help the...
  5. Just stops printing and states Not Connected in VersaWorks

    I have a VP540 doing the same thing... now processing. Can't afford to throw away any more half finished material. Can't afford any down time. So, we pushed it out to the warehouse and stored it plugged in for now. We set up another XR640 in it's place. Same cabling. Same Versa. Same static IP...
  6. Exterior Building murals?

    A good starting point is to thoroughly read the 3M product bulletin for the media you intend to use. Life expectancy of any media is going to vary greatly based primarily on 4 factors: 1 - Surface integrity 2 - Installation quality 3 - Daily direct sun exposure / Climate 4 - Regular cleaning...
  7. The right way to install a 24' x 12' aluminum sign

    On a corrugated metal building, what are you mounting your frame to? Are you going into the building's steel frame? Or are the corrugated panels holding all that weight?
  8. Optically Clear Matte Laminate

    We have never and will never use vinyl lam on perf. It doesn't look good nor does it hold up well. You should try ClearShield Classic liquid lam. It comes in Glossy, Semi Gloss and Matte finishes. Fellers carries it, but I'm not a huge fan of Fellers. We typically get it from Advantage...
  9. Sprinter wrap q

    I was actually thinking 380 when they posted 480. I've never tried 480 and only tested 380 to see what it was all about. Either way, my argument still stands. The cost for vinyl and lam is significantly higher on both counts. For show cars and special projects, I'd consider it. For plumbing vans...
  10. Sprinter wrap q

    Who the hell can afford to use 480 to wrap a sprinter for commercial use? Just relief cut it. If you're not good with a blade, use knifeless tape. If the trim out is still sloppy, follow ^^^ advise and overlay pin striping or mold n hold. We've never used either of those on Sprinter recesses...
  11. car wrap print layout

    Reply deleted. I didn't realize these threads were full of trolls these days.
  12. Wall Murals at Indoor Swim School

    Thanks! Two guys on the job site for about 2 days, give or take. Big wall installs like this with very few obstacles actually go pretty fast. It's heat rolling everything that takes forever.
  13. Wall Murals at Indoor Swim School

    UPDATE! We completed the indoor swim school project a couple of weeks ago and I got back in to take some pictures once construction was complete. The murals turned out perfect and are holding up better than I could have hoped in the harsh, hot, super humid conditions. The client is ecstatic...
  14. ISO Merchant for Custom Car Toppers

    These are just generic car toppers that I can buy anywhere and stick vinyl on. I'm looking for a fabricator for a custom piece built to look like an actual crown. Dimensional foam, vacuum formed plastic... I'm open to ideas. See image for example. I'm posting here to see if any merchant members...
  15. ISO Merchant for Custom Car Toppers

    We are looking for a company to help fabricate a 3 dimensional custom "crown" topper for a Smart car. We will provide vector illustration. Foam or molded plastic. Possibly internally lit if molded plastic is the better option. Needs to be durable, lightweight and relatively easy to...
  16. Little help around trailer screws

    I would recommend strongly against removing every screw in a trailer. Those aluminum panels will likely never go back together the same and the client may end up with rattles and loose panels that were not there before. Wrap over them with 180cv3 and prime around and on every single screw.
  17. Wall Murals at Indoor Swim School

    We do murals, semi trailers, RVs and other things this tall all the time. I'm not concerned in the slightest about the 12' run. I'm looking for feedback from anyone who might have installed graphics or murals that will exist in similar environmental conditions.
  18. Wall Murals at Indoor Swim School

    We are only going up 12' with the mural. Not 20'.
  19. Wall Murals at Indoor Swim School

    We are in the design stage of an extensive wall mural project for an indoor swim school. The common areas inside are climate controlled, but the 2 pool rooms are enclosed and not cooled. They do have cross ventilation with exhaust fans for the summer and heaters and radiant heat in the decks for...
