Normally, problems like this are related to incorrect pressure being used on the laminator. I would also look into what clear vinyl film you are using, as some are better for this type of application than others. (we use 3M 8150) There is also a way to check the nip of the laminator and adjust...

We researched a lot and ended up deciding upon a Fluid Color flatbed. Awaiting delivery currently. Edit, apparently they do not make one that size, sorry.

Maybe post on one of the many Sign Industry Facebook Groups? We have had success with finding good people (with no industry experience) from local FB job-posting groups.

I recommend Epson S60600 and a Graphtec FC9000 plotter for ease of use. Very easy to setup and run for anyone.

Find a business to partner with or outsource to until you can upgrade to large format if that is your plan. But you'll need a printer, laminator, plotter and software to make them all happy. The main problem with large format is that the registration is not going to be as good as with the Gerber...

I tried running it through our software (Gigapixel) and it does a halfway decent job but I really could use the original file, I need to get this to a print/cut file for their trucks.

I am looking for the image source for this attachment. I see multiple vendors online selling products using this artwork, so I am assuming it is in some sort of clip art collection somewhere but I can't find it. Do you know where I can purchase it?

It is looking nice so far, pop back in and post up some completion photos if you don't mind! If you ever have a project needing complex woodworking, we have a master carpenter on staff here who would love to help you with any wooden projects you have.

Have a customer looking to swap out banners around vertical columns easier. Is there some sort of track or clamp system that is adjustable for wrapping banners around columns? I'm thinking something like what the top of a standard retractor uses to clamp across the top, but on the long vertical...

I'm still posting to this old thread here. (most recent template a month or so ago) The material you see on the golf cart is Phototex. It does not stretch, so after you apply it to the surface and make your marks it'll go back to perfect flat again once removed so you can take a photo and draw...

Get a hold of Dan Nava at https://ibowtraining.com/ You can set up a class at his facility, or book him to come out to yours depending on the number of people attending the training. Have him coming out here in the next couple weeks for an in-house training day. My daughter attended his wrap...

Use 280 on a boat, we do a lot of them that way, but no "wraps" on them, just lettering and striping.

Customer ended up sending me the vector files I needed of everything, but I still wonder what font it was they used. I'm not easily stumped on fonts like I was here.

Pretty close, but not the correct font. I went through a LOT of similar fonts this morning before I gave up.

I thought this was Gill Sans or something similar and easy to locate, but it's not for some reason. The "R" looks so familiar, but I cannot get an exact match on the font anywhere I've tried.

I know you're a ways away from these guys, but give Trigon Imaging in Cincinnati a call and see what they'd charge you to get a profile set up or walk you through the process. (should be able to remote in) They're a GREAT team to have on your side for Epson support. If we still had...

I am pretty sure we used onne of our standard profiles here, but had to do the extra steps listed in the pdf. We used 3M profiles as our base profiles when we built ours.

I've put my hands on 3 or 4 of them and seen them used in sign shops. I think they're a scam and every one I've seen had issues and ruined lots of prints. If you have prints to mount, just use a cheap laminator. They DO look nice at the shows, but that is not the real world. YMMV.

Our Epson S70 series did it with Onyx. I used the European guide you listed for my "how to" as a basic guide to understand how to adjust the print settings in Onyx to make it work correctly as needed in each case. I no longer have those machines and have only have S60 series now, so no longer...

We still run rolls of vinyl through our (multiple) Gerber sprocket-fed plotters every day, and yes, we have 3 large format plotters also.
