Perhaps the cracking is heat related. I've had it happen multiple times. I'll see if I can find a picture of some the times that's it's happened. I recognize that the power draw from the machine isn't a huge load, but the initial installation cost of running more 220 lines can be something to...

Latex is very nice if you are in the habit of printing the same day that you are wrapping like when you need to reprint a messed up panel and apply quickly. I do find that the heat activates a lot of adhesive make it it less slippery/repositionable. I really like Avery for its ability to slide...

When we have some of our unskilled labor, the ones that specialize in picking up trash and moving boxes, sitting around doing nothing, we'll remove the rivets as part of the prep at no additional charge. If they demand they be removed, we'll switch to calendared wrap vinyl, since you don't need...

While I was selling installations to sign companies I had the same conundrum, at first. I found that when the initial contact was in person, I did about 1000% better and landed more accounts. The only times that a phone call got me any traction was when they were already in a bind and I...

We have tried some different clear vinyls and keep coming back to just printing on laminate. We've done latex, solvent, and UV on the Oracal Oraguard series, as well as 3m 8519, but 3M is pricy. Oraguard 200 and 210 is what we send out to customers when they ask for clear decals. Laminating...

Like everyone else has said, the FB500 should fit into your price range. I've used an FB500 quit a bit and it's a solid machine. We use it mostly roll to roll for white on lexan controller panels, but do our fair share of coroplast yard signs and aluminum composite. The ink doesn't adhere all...

We used to use Rapid-Tac for a cleaner, then we realized we were spraying $$$$ onto the window and watching them evaporate off. What we use now is just soapy water made from tap water and a little bit of baby shampoo(leaves nothing behind), the same stuff we use to clean cars for wrapping. If...

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. If it weren't for the occasional coating issue and that some customers demand 3M, I would print every wrap we do on Avery. We did a small fleet of vans, 15 total, some were on IJ180, most on MPI1005 and we were about 20% faster when we installed with...

Hello guys and gals. We are a custom sign shop that is currently using Cyrious Control, but is trying to shop around for a better solution for job tracking and invoicing. I've watched the videos that are on the SignVOX website and it looks like it has almost everything that we need. I'd like to...
