  1. Wrapping a trailer with... nothing

    Depending on how big these trailers actually are, we may be able to fit them in our air conditioned install bay. If they won't fit here, I know of a couple, not exactly climate controlled, bays that they could be pulled in for sure. If all that fails, there's one other option but I really don't...
  2. Dry Erase Wall Graphics - Ideas ETC

    Awesome. Thanks! I'll look into it. Yeah, I attempted to bring up doing something different, but this particular sales rep lacks the imagination for this job, to be honest. I'm going to keep attempting to sway this job in a different direction so we'll see. I appreciate all the advice! thanks...
  3. Wider retractable banner stand hardware - 6ft-7ft ish

    So we stock the 45" and 57" wide banner stands from signworldamerica.com but we have a client looking for a 6-7ft wide retractable banner stand. Obviously I found a few through google, but does anyone have a wholesale-ish source for a 6-7ft retractable banner stand?
  4. Dry Erase Wall Graphics - Ideas ETC

    I agree. I'm not super excited about how this will turn out but...
  5. Dry Erase Wall Graphics - Ideas ETC

    One of our sales reps brought this potential job to me today and I figured I'd ask for some expert advice before I do what I do. We have an ad agency that has a bunch of walls that are painted with dry erase paint, but they don't like it for various reasons etc. So they are wanting us to wrap...
  6. Perf Cut Decals Curling

    Cool. If it were me, I'd run a few, laminate half, don't laminate half, peel the backer off both, lay them face down on a table so they don't stick to anything and see if either, neither or both of them curl without the backer.
  7. Perf Cut Decals Curling

    Maybe I misunderstood, but it sounds like you said it happened before you laminated as well. I would peel the vinyl from the backer, lay it face down (just so the adhesive doesn't stick to anything) and see if the vinyl lays flat or curls. My money is on the liner curling, from humidity or whatever.
  8. Opinion Buying a used flatbed

    The guy who started Vanguard used to be with CET.
  9. Cut vinyl prices peeling after 1 month

    Lots of folks hate exercise and vegetables too. Doesn't mean you should steer clear of it. Not going to say that avery hasn't had issues before, but we use the heck out of avery vinyls and haven't encountered any issues that we haven't seen with other brands as well.
  10. Best vinyl for 1-way visibility

    For what it's worth, in my humble opinion, BigFish had the solution, but OP couldn't wrap their head around it....
  11. Plastic substrate for SMALL format digital printing

    We have both small and large format digital printing. On the small format side we have a xerox versant 80 and a xerox color 1000i. We currently have a couple clients who regularly order 8.5x11 4/4 styrene "flyers" or "sell sheets". And without a router it's becoming insanely time consuming to...
  12. MACTAC Be Free Clear on Latex

    What's a wiper roller? Is that a 5*0 thing?
  13. Client Gets What They Pay For

    Just wanted to share a quick story. My kids go to a small private school. We do some work for the school every now and then, but it's a small school. (I also donate scrap vinyls, board drop-offs and every now and then a teacher will want a banner for something personal like a kids party or...
  14. Cyan Overspray on Blue Prints (CET UV Hybrid)

    Grizzly, you're awesome. I don't care what these other guys say about you. ha Kidding. But seriously, I adjusted the temperature down a bit and it seems to have cleared up. I ran a few test prints and so far so good. Hopefully that fixed it. thanks again everyone!
  15. Cyan Overspray on Blue Prints (CET UV Hybrid)

    Also, forgot to mention that it does not discriminate between substrates. It does it on poster paper, coro, styrene, foam board, aluminum, magnet, banner, etc.
  16. Cyan Overspray on Blue Prints (CET UV Hybrid)

    We have a CET hybrid uv printer, with ricoh gen5 heads, 2 print heads (Black/Cyan and Magenta/Yellow). We recently had a new head installed for black/cyan and we are having a problem with the cyan. I'm attaching a picture. We have the "static bar" setup installed, we clean the materials with an...
  17. Gen5 Printhead Preservation

    Perfect. That's what I figured but wanted to make sure before I do it. Thank you very much!
  18. Gen5 Printhead Preservation

    Have a ricoh gen5 head that has been used, so it has uv ink in it. I'm wanting to flush it and then save it as a backup, emergency printhead. My question is, should I flush it and then leave the flush in the head, or should I flush it and then clear the flush out before I wrap the head up for...
  19. Weights on the Take up Reel HP Latex

    This is super old, but when I used to run a specific brand of poly-something for tradeshow graphics, we used to put tubes of construction adhesive in the balance bar thing and tape the ends so it wouldn't slide out. That kept the material flat when it ran through and didn't buckle with the heat...
