I am selling my Roland SP540V 54" Print / Cut. It has a brand new black/cyan print head. It is in great shape. I am just outside of New Orleans. I am asking $4,500 for it. I am also selling an Enduralam 60" laminator. Laminator works great except the top roller has a bunch of micro-fractures in...

I need help identifying the font on this Pierce fire truck. Pierce will not give my client the name of the font. I need to replace the graphics on several trucks and need to match the original font used. Any help is greatly appreciated. If I can't match the font, I will probably loose the...

When you ponder the idea of buying equipment, consider that you can get a good brand new printer that prints and cuts like the Roland 54" machines for about $15,000. You can do a lot more than print vehicle wraps with it. I bought my 54" Roland SP540V 5 years ago and my business could not...

You are correct. I have a SP540V and they do not print metallics.

Apology accepted. As police officers, Our integrity is often questioned and that hits a tender spot. I have worked with corrupt officers in the past and my father god rest his soul always instilled in me that a man must always be true to his word and have good integrity. That is how I have...

Gino, If you were wrongfully accused of a crime you did not commit, you would be a lot more than just offended. It is very unprofessional to take someone that you know nothing about and question their integrity. I take offense to your questioning my integrity!!!

Thanks petepaz. That is helpful information. Thanks to everyone that provided HELPFUL information. This points me in the right direction.

I was asking for helpfully input, not an audit of my business. I have and will always operate to the letter of the law. Like I said I am an honest hard working Police Officer of 17 years trying to support my family. I would not and could attempt to enforce the law if I don't follow them...

I have always operated legitimately. What I meant was that I don't have a note on my equipment and I don't have to pay rent or utilities specifically for my business. Yes I have insurance and taxes to pay, but my overhead is no where near what it would be if I had a storefront shop.

I have been using Estimate for the last several years. I am a full time Police Officer and have operated my business on my off time for the last 10 years. All of my equipment is paid off and I work out of a large shop at my home. I really don't have much overhead. If the pricing can be...

I need some input. I have been in the sign business for ten years now. I have done tons of vehicle jobs, most of them involve 3M reflective going on fire trucks and police cars along with print and cut graphics. I am moving into vehicle wraps. I need to know how to price a vehicle wrap. I...

Just my 2 cents, but it appears you will have to print the art. Create the text in illy at the size you need it to be, export the text as an eps, open the eps text in photoshop at your desired resolution, apply the 3D bevel effect and save it as a tiff with no compression. Import the tiff into...

Sticky Signs, Fellers sells the knifless tape in several different widths.

I have an SP540V. I use mostly intermediate vinyl and laminate. Combined 3 mil. I use a 45 degree blade with my cut speed and up speed set at 10. My pressure is at 180 to 200. I make sure everything I create has rounded corners and everything cuts good. With the exception that I can't cut...

Avery had a chrome vinyl at the SGIA show here in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago. They said it is still in the developmental stages, but will be released in 2012.

I use 4 x 8 sheets of white PVC. It's cheap and is easy on the blades. I stick it to my table with banner hem tape. When it's all cut up, I pull it off, chuck it and stick down a new sheet. It lasts about 6 to 8 months.

For future reference, you can use knifless tape. You can place one strip on the top and one on the bottom. Overlay your vinyl to cover the knifless tape and then use the knifless tape to cut the vinyl and you are done.

If your rollers have a crown (upward bow), if you apply a little more pressure, this will flatten out the crown and the rollers will pull evenly.

Since it will get banged up, I would go the cheaper route and use the Arlon 6000 with the matching laminate. I wrapped a tailgate with that stuff recently and it is not that bad to work with. The adhesive is a bit more aggressive than the 180, but then again that might be a plus in your case.
