My final decision was to call the customer and explain we have to hold the truck for longer and re-wrap it. The good thing was all parts weren't yet reinstalled (mirrors, handles, and such), and because it was freshly re-wrapped, we stripped both sides in 20 minutes.

Yes, that's absolutely right. I'm not trying to get away with a mistake that will cost anything to the customer. I wonder if I can expect the wrap to hold.

It's a commercial wrap and it's done right, no primer. Hood and roof were printed on wider media and it was cast, no bumpers. From what I understand wrap shops all over the world are using calendared films, many of the color change wrap brands like techwrap are calendar and people are using them.

Hi, My installers just fully wrapped a truck that was printed on the wrong film, we found that it was 3M 40C but laminated with 2 mil cast overlaminate. Would you let that go out for a test with a customer, or it has to be re-wrapped? Should I expect this to hold long term, in lower Alabama?

I went to my bank and another local bank and I left a voicemail at a banker to CIT, I'll see who will get back to me.

Hi there, I'm running a small wrap shop and I'm trying to upgrade some of my equipment, laminator, and cutter and I found 5.5% financing for 5 years term on $23000 worth of equipment through MMP Capital, but the guy who does the financing doesn't act professionally and I would like to work with...

A lot of good advice here. I just got quoted $8900 for GFP 563TH-4 63" TOP HEAT LAMIN FULL PK including rear slitters and rear rewind and feel like this is going to be the right choice for us. Thank you all.

Looks like a lot of people are quite happy with the GFP. I see that the more expensive laminators are having silicone rollers and tension springs on each side of the roller, however the GFP doesn't have a spring, but it's direct adjustment nut and that worries me. Is it better to have silicon...

Hi there, There are multiple threads about laminators, but they're all dated. I'm trying to pick a good reliable laminator, as I'm currently experiencing huge issues with my Master Laminator Us Tech Vt8700. It's creating wrinkles, it doesn't keep straight, it doesn't hold even pressure on both...

Thank you all, it was very helpful to guide me in the right direction. I'm digging into it and I'll make it work one way or another.

Hi there, I also have a problem with the colors in Flexi, I design in Illustrator in RGB/GPU preview and my white is #ffffff but when I import it to flexi it gives it slight blue/gray-ish tint and I didn't notice at first but when I printed the file all the white had ink dots in it and it was a...

Hi there, We're successfully running a small vehicle wrap shop located in Florida for over 3 years now. We have Latex 365 and all design and printing are done in house, but it's time to expand as the market is very limited. However, we don't know much about signage. -Are there any books that...

Re-calibrating and creating a new ICC profile worked for me. Just in case I also changed the printheads and I also spoke with HP tech, he told me to do color calibration every now and then like every two weeks or so. Also when the print heads are older than six months you should do color...

Ok, I'll delete my current ICC profiles and download new ones, I'll re-calibrate after that and I'll see if anything changes. I'm really trying to save on electric bills and LED lighting seems to be the best option, but if you think that's interfering with the printer I should probably avoid...

Hey guys, I got totally confused with that threat. I'm experiencing big problems with my grays printing pink as well and I need help if anyone figured out. I'm running HP Latex 365 with Flexi 12 and everything is the default, no special setting on the rip or the printer and I'm designing in...

Correct.

Thanks for the input guys. It worked just fine. I had 100% scale with 100dpi raster image that I placed in Illustrator and scaled it down to 1/10 to fit the vector template and then save it as .ai and imported it into Flexi and scaled it to 1:1 and it didn't loose any quality. It printed out...

Hi there, Another designer send me a .tiff file with 100dpi and 100% scale for a van wrap and I scaled it down to1/20 in Illustrator to make it fit in the template and now I'm going to print it in full scale. Do I lose any quality when I downscaling and rescaling in Illustrator?
