If you are installing a vehicle wrap let it out gas or dry (whatever term you feel better). Laying flat is best, but just give it at least 12 hours to, whatever you want to call it. (And yes, I have printed and laminated quickly and although you will get the job done it is a little more of a PIA...

Thanks for all your contributions. I am going to give the Swiffers another shot, but great info in here, appreciate it!

Thanks for all the replies. So for the Swiffers, approximately how often do you change them out? Lets say I was doing a box truck 6 full panels on each side (50"x90") would one Swiffer do the whole job, much more, less? Tack cloth, seriously, maybe I don't know what that is but the last one I...

What do you guys have the best luck with getting dust, hair, etc off prints before you laminate. Sometimes mine are great and then often enough I find a hair or dust caught under laminate. OK so I have tried a few things... Fabric Softener Sheet (feel that leaves something gritty on media, is...

VinylLab and Vader, can't thank you guys enough for this. Thought I was screwed and got it all to work. THANKS!

I have changed the dampers about two years ago. Printer is level, Caps probably need replaced, guess I will replace dampers new caps and see what happens. Thanks.

I have a Roland SP-540V I have recently been having an issue where I will get random (not too many) specs or places where ink missed (See pics). Also a new issue is these streaks (see other pic). Don't be concerned about the banding this was on high speed just to test it. The banding is hardly...

Thanks Gino, but I am not set up to do 500, any idea who would provide this (they also wanted to holes in the 2" section that is bent) if need be I could do that myself...rather not.

I have a customer looking for 500 10" x 15" white PVC signs that would have a 2" 90 degree angle at the top so they could screw the top down to a shelf. I know where to get PVC but no idea where to get it with a bend. Any ideas?

Thanks for all the feedback. Some of you have shared a tool that you use, or a method, some have not. Wondering, besides freehand cut, those that did not share or are just reading this... What tool/method do you use to make sure your cuts are straight. I am not comfortable with using my finger...

Thanks for the replies so far, good conversations. Check this out, pretty interesting. Window Cut-Back Tools | Wrap Institute

So I have done a few of these installs. Multiple panels of glass on a storefront, wanted to ask some questions. The job I just did was 8 panels 45" x 45" (continuous design separated by the framing). 1. Is calendared vinyl an option or must I always use cast? Looking to get 5-7 years out of the...

Thanks for the suggestions. Just got off the phone with rep and I think I like the Orajet 3169RA, only $50 more than 3165RA for a 54x150 roll same as 3165RA but removable. Anyone familiar with this material?

Thanks, but is the next step up necessarily 3M or is there something more suitable that last long?

I have been using Oracal 3165RA for storefront graphics. For those not familiar, it is a calendared air release material. I laminate it with Oracal 210 lam. My question is, should I be using something else for long term use? For one, I may have to change it in 5-7 years and the 3165 will not be...

These were all great answers. I appreciate it very much. AK, I'm probably using Oracal 3165RA or Instant One Media's removable vinyl. 2B, I thought i was being too meticulous measuring the seal, thanks for the confirmation! Texas, I always fight with how much bleed just for the reasons you...

Question, when you do a full color window display with continuous text/images. What is the best way to set it up to print? I was thinking (having exact measurements for each window section) I lay it out in Corel/AI and just print each window section separate the size of the actual glass, making...

Need a true wholesale Swooper Flag Supplier on East Coast, or at least closer than CA. Ordering the square bases freight is killing me but the flag price (B2Sign) is awesome. Thought about ordering bases closer but not sure if they are universal. Thanks!

Very good. Makes sense. Thank you! If I need a specific pantone can I just go to Lowes or HD and have them mix it and put it in a spry can...or has that technology not been invented yet?

Have a question. I have a customer that ones some PVC cut letters for an interior office wall. It is not a stock color so I thought I would just print and apply to the pre-routed PVC, BUT.... I just saw a display somewhere and there is no way these people had it done that way. It was like the...
