I'm a registered contractor - for signs. I am allowed to hook up to existing electrical within 6' of the sign.

Youd be surprised. My customers absolutely love it and have commented that they like it better than the strip of white that other shops leave. It's also only a 1/2". Not exactly a thick strip.

Cut, drop, and overlay with mold and hold tape. Those areas will NEVER lift, it looks clean and consistent, much faster to install, and your customer will love it.

I've done it, works fine. With one MAJOR caveat. The brushed metal is very very hard to get mask to stick. We had a customer who wanted his vehicle lettered in 1080 brushed steel and brushed titanium. It probably took 3 hours to do what would normally have been a 20 minute job.

One of my production guys and I can! We were having a pretty good day today and got to talking about it. Thought we'd try it. Well.... Success! We were blindfolded from start to finish. Had to align the material, tape it up, peel the liner, lay it, then trim the sign. All blindfolded. It...

We save 2 of every file. in the job folder, call it job 29174, there is a 'main' file area. This area contains the editable file, all the images used, etc. Then there is a subfolder called 'proof' which contains a rasterized .jpg of the artwork on a proof sheet to send to the customer. When...

I've had one for 2+ years. I honestly, no lie, leave the rollers down every day. I've never raised them. I rarely clean my rollers either. Still laminates just as good as the day I installed it.

That definitely looks like a media problem. A head crash won't hurt the carriage. It might hurt the heads though. Typically the first head. If that was poster paper, good luck. That series of printer does have trouble with papers.

I'm a big fan of the Avery blue felt edged squeeges. Firm, but flexible.

It's not going to be a matter of it just being CARC. CARC can be nice and smooth or very rough and sandpapery, it can also be pretty chalked up. It's going to depend on who painted it, how old it is, etc. Your best bet is to try a couple vinyls on the actual vehicle. I had a M1009 painted...

I was diplomatic, at the outset. He was being a **** from the word go, pretty much, and I was more "honest" than I'd usually be. At first I was explaining to him that that material was not the right choice, explained why, explained what the right materials were, etc and that's when he started...

Yeah, I know. Just... :noway:

I looked that up, looking at their site and what not, it doesn't seem like they'd be the type of company to sell oracal 651 as hood wrap kits.

Don't you? :banghead: We're not open weekends, but often work, if you know what I mean. But this actually happened yesterday morning.

It was some kit he bought online and was trying to find someone to install it. Basically a full hood wrap, not just stripes. It was gloss black calendared Oracal 651. I told him I was sorry, I wouldn't do it. It was the wrong material, it would never look right, and on a horizontal surface...

6000XRP is guaranteed to fail within 9 months in Arizona. It's junk.

I think Ill talk him into Caribbean. Thanks!

DOM. The whole word was freedom

I agree with you in spirit, but the customer wants what the customer wants. I figured I'd ask here if anyone knew, and if not, well, I'll them they're up the creek...

Thought it was Papyrus, but it has serifs. Plato is close, but not quite. I'm limited to these 2 letters... It's all the customer has remaining of his boat letters and wants the same font... Any ideas? Thanks!
