  1. Question liquid adhesive

    Have a job that the customer would like to use a little more adhesive in a groove then pay for the correct vinyl. I'm fine with it since it is just going to be a one day partial wrap. We have been using 3551ra with matching lam on all of them but this one is a super special event for them so I...
  2. Suggestions solid color boat wrap

    call me stupid but when you say color change vinyl - are they solid colors or are they colors that look like different colors from different angles? I'm used to just print and lam not the solid colors so I'm not very familiar with other vinyls. The guy also sent me (when I asked the color he was...
  3. Suggestions solid color boat wrap

    This will only be the 2nd boat I have wrapped in years but since the first one went rather well I'm willing to try it again. The first one I had printed on 30 ij180cv3-10 with comply and it was great to install. This customer is wanting a solid sea foam green or a solid black with no printing on...
  4. Question side by side not working out

    Yeah, that's been my fall back on all along, receiving panels that were different from what I was shown. But either way I would like to help them out in some way, I don't mind eating the material as it was working with something I never worked with before and I ordered it before getting the...
  5. Question side by side not working out

    Ok that's what I thought, in my mind I just wanted to hear it out of some one else's mouth so I knew I wasn't crazy. Once I saw the panels they gave me weren't like the ones I saw in the picture I thought there was no way but I was determined to try it. Now to just figure out how to tackle this.
  6. Question side by side not working out

    Thanks, I've pretty much done the preheat, the post heat, the extra vinyl, I really think it's the type of vinyl I'm not use to and the lack of patience from being sick. Think I'm going to rip it off and start from scratch again, I probably overworked the vinyl in spots in my rush to just "make...
  7. Question side by side not working out

    I can't find any videos on this type, plus it isn't even the same style that they sent me a picture of. It's a full coverage wrap, not just face decals so no white can be showing. Here's some pics of what I'm working with. I really do want to do it myself, im just struggling having had the flu...
  8. Question side by side not working out

    If I knew someone I either would have paid them to do it or paid them to teach me how with this vinyl. Love your bottom line, sounds a bit harsh - how do you expect to learn new things if you never try? I was talked into taking this job and I'm trying to figure out how to do it, don't really...
  9. Question side by side not working out

    I never use Avery at all but that's what was suggested, also had to match a matte color. I got the recesses to sit nice in spots then go back the next day and they have popped up in spots. Can't get a good stretch for around the edges, they seem too boxy. I'm ready to give the panels back but...
  10. Question side by side not working out

    Are there templates for the bobcat uv34xl? It's suppose to be wrapped a solid matte color, but no matter how hard I try - it just isn't working for me. I believe it needs some relief cuts or cuts and overlaps, I can't get it to work with the deep recesses on the hood along with the almost corner...
  11. Question W9 forms

    I have a new accountant and she just sent me a W9 form and asked me to send it to two vendors I have used - Signs365 and Zoo Printing saying I need them to fill it out and send it back so she can send them their 1099s. The previous accountant that was used never asked for that. Is this correct...
  12. Question pricing and color vinyl

    These would be coming into a dealership new, easy take off decals (is what they tell me) and if it comes out good they will have me wrap the ones they just got in as well as all the future ones that come in. On the plus side they would bring me the panels as they say they come off easy. Would be...
  13. Question pricing and color vinyl

    $450-$500 doesn't look like that much vinyl, but checking out the solid color matte wrap colors some are way pricier than others. Also, 500 seems kind of cheap to me but I also don't want to blow them out of the water if I say something like $800
  14. Question pricing and color vinyl

    I know it varies from place to place and what type of vinyl but what would y'all charge to wrap this? I see they sell kits on ebay for 300.00 but of course I would be doing this myself so installation would need to be included as well as removal of existing vinyl. Also, the pic on the bottom...
  15. Question bad encoder strip cause banding? head replacement cause heater issues?

    OK, persistence counts. I went through everything and cleaned everything the best I could, made sure that spring was still connected (which I am still worried about it since it seems loose) but I am back up and running! No overspray - hope it lasts!
  16. Question bad encoder strip cause banding? head replacement cause heater issues?

    Thanks Jim - I had that already and already had installed it and everything. When I went back in I saw the spring had come off and it seems pretty loose to me so I reattached it (hoping it doesn't come off again) and tried to do a limitization or whatever you call it again and it kept giving me...
  17. Question bad encoder strip cause banding? head replacement cause heater issues?

    just went back under the hood - lol - noticed the spring that holds the encoder strip on if off. When I go to put it back on it seems loose and won't let me do the encoder set up again. Runs to the end and says turn motor off. I have a feeling this is my culprit but how do I tighten that up?
  18. Question bad encoder strip cause banding? head replacement cause heater issues?

    OK, the heater issue is solved but the overspray is still there and I am still wondering if it's a profile gone corrupt or something else. I just changed the encoder strip and it's still doing the overspray with some banding. Finally took some pics - any suggestions would be appreciated. As for...
  19. Question bad encoder strip cause banding? head replacement cause heater issues?

    Of course after replacing a head, replacing a fuse, I get all the colors back up and running, do the best I can to align everything - test prints look good. Go to print and there is fuzzy overspray. Knowing I had a little bit of a problem with reading the registration marks I have ordered a new...
  20. Need Help test print alignment

    Huge thank you to Jim! You got me up and running again and it was very nice meeting you in person. Can't thank you enough! Pet the dog for me! Chris
