  1. Customer wet applied wrap material

    We just had a customer order some prints for their vans (rockers, logos, and a hood), then a few days after pickup they call and ask how to install it...and how much water should they use. Should have realized something was up when they didn't know the difference between a bitmap or vector logo.
  2. Your Physical Health

    Just don't get pulled over with that much cash in many states in the US. All the cop has to say is that they thought it was going to be used to buy drugs and they can take it.
  3. Wrap material suggestion for color change

    I've used Avery, 3M, KPMF, Oracal, Vvivid, and probably a couple others. I think Avery is the easiest to work with, 3M is a close second.
  4. New 3M high gloss 2080 vinyls

    Anybody tried this yet? I'd love it to be glossier, but I haven't had enough people complain about regular 2080 not being glossy enough to justify a 45% increase.
  5. Not sure what is causing this.................................................................. ??

    Is it 2080 with the new protective layer that's meant to be peeled off after install?
  6. Wrap motorcycle tank

    I say leave the fuel in.
  7. Banner tape

    Orafol Orabond 1397PP is really good stuff. Fellers carries it, but they charge literally double what my local supplier does.
  8. Customer wanting to use trademarked logo on their signage

    We are actually part of a large automotive group (and directly under a GMC dealership) so I've had many years experience with this. The dealership should have access to gmassetcentral.com which will have current logos, stock photos of cars, marketing materials, etc. There's probably also a...
  9. Premasked striping woes

    I would have removed the mirrors, pre-masked the flat areas (doors, hood, fenders), but would have cut the stripe and pinstripes for the corner piece separate. Apply the stripe to the rest of the vehicle, lay down the main stripe on the corner piece, cut some spacing stipes the size of the gap...
  10. Window Perf Rolling Itself Off

    I could definitely see the temperature difference causing this. The higher temp allowed the laminator to stretch it as it was applied, after installation it wanted to shrink back to what it was and peeled the edges up.
  11. What am I worth?

    Gross? Net?
  12. Vinyl for temporary vehicle decals

    For a two week job I'd use the cheapest stuff you can find, so 3621 is perfect. I've used dozens of rolls for temporary sale signage, parade logos on vehicles, temporary "Now Hiring" on top of wraps. Holds well and easy to remove. I wouldn't laminate for that short amount of time, just tell...
  13. Does graphic card matter?

    This is absolutely not true. An i9 12900K with Intel UHD Graphics 770 (a $600, less than 1 year old processor) has much lower benchmark scores than an nVidia GTX 1050, a low-end 6 year old dedicated card. If Intel's CPUs with integrated GPUs are faster than most mid range GPUs then why did...
  14. What should I learn from this?

    Despite all the missteps everyone else has listed, by far your most egregious is the lack of an Oxford Comma.
  15. No Snowflakes or Bleedinghearts need to post

    Is that Boudica or her boss?
  16. Solar windows film installation

    It's fairly easy to do once you get the hang of it. Roll the film tightly with the liner in. Unroll about 4-5 inches of film Peel the liner Wet the outside of the liner and of course the adhesive side of the film Roll the liner around and back onto the film side that will be facing you...
  17. What goes on first PPF or Vinyl wrap?

    We do both and I would say PPF over the wrap unless, like johnnysigns said, they chose some texture or different finish. The PPF stands out much more if it's under the wrap, unless they PPF the entire hood, fenders, etc. Another problem is that the PPF will be discolored if the wrap is left...
  18. An amazing opportunity!!!

    We get these constantly. Graphics company is out of state and can't do the job and tries to sublet the install for cheap so they can mark it up and make money for just sending an email. We reply with what we'll actually install it for, they get pissy because we're "not willing to work with...
  19. Opinion I think a light bulb just went off today................................................

    I'm sure you do considering his name is simply Signs101Admin and he agrees with a lot of your drivel. So deleting posts that disparage Trump is funny, but if he was deleting your posts about Biden you'd be incensed and screaming "ThE GlObAl EliTeS ArE cEnSoRiNg Me!!1!!!1!" But ha ha, first...
  20. Opinion I think a light bulb just went off today................................................

    If we're talking Nazi stuff, does Lügenpresse sound familiar? Some would call an attempted insurrection treason, no one would call winning an election treason. Get over it, Drumpf lost. You put that timeline in place, ya loon. Yes, a "documentary" written by Dinesh D'Souza. I'm sure it's...
