Thank you! I'll check these guys out.

My normal supplier abruptly stopped carrying Mimaki products and I need to source my genuine Mimaki SS21 inks somewhere else. Where are you guys buying your ink?

Just found this out myself. Had to get it from JDS Industries.

We use an online software called Trello to track our jobs. Each job gets a card that moves through various boards (estimating, sales, design, pre-press, production, etc) You can color code each card based on the type of project (cut vinyl, digi print, laser engrave/cut, screen printing...

This is good advice. Also, definitely talk with the Superintendent (or whoever is paying for the project) and building engineer about painting themselves. We work with ALOT of schools, and I very rarely paint. The Superintendent has the engineer and his maintenance staff paint to keep costs...

Also, small bit of advice for people new to this tool. Make sure you don't put the heat gun all the way into the TSA-4. Set it back as far as you can, then clamp it down. You can get heat streaks from throwing 1000 degrees at the wrap as you roll it if the heat gun is too close to the surface.

This is probably the best advice. I do this with one of my landscaping clients that has a massive cement floor heated pole barn. We offered him a discount on some work in the summer for a few IOUs to use the barn over the winter when we get specialty trucks or box trucks/trailers that are too...

I would definitely suggest using 3M Edge Sealer or cut 2" clear laminate strips to hug the edge of the wrap and the drywall. I can almost guarantee some peeling at the edges from the extra weight, especially if you have to trim and put a blade to the drywall/paint. I would suggest having the...

I'm looking for alternatives to the 3M TSA-2 textured surface applicators. (Motor joint roller tools) The 3M tools are $200. That seems a bit ridiculous for what they are. I have a very large wall wrap project on painted cinder block and I wanted to pick up a few extra tools so I can have...

Thanks for the response and info. We are going to laminate with the 8508.

One of my employees accidentally printed a full bus wrap on 3M 180 instead of 3M 40C. I have wrapped 8 of these buses for this customer in the past with 3M40C + 8508. All areas receiving vinyl are completely flat. Would there be any issues laminating the 180 with 8508 instead of 8518? I'd like...

I figured there wasn't much of a difference. I'll stick with the Splash since it's a good bit cheaper. Thanks for the response.

I use it to install decorative films brand privacy and uv films on office windows, conference rooms, etc. And also for solid color cut vinyl graphics on vehicles and glass.

I'm currently using SPLASH concentrated transfer solution (8oz bottle makes 1 gallon for about $18). I know most people are probably using Rapid Tac transfer solution (1 gallon is about $30). Does anyone have experience with both these products? I'm getting ready to reorder for the summer and...

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a ground/real estate style sign kit similar to the one pictured?

We use 3M IJ40C for all flat wall wraps and box trucks/trailers with no or low profile rivets.

I believe these are referred to as "wind screens" and can be purchased from signs365, B2, etc.

Is there a specific reason you print on IJ180 for dry erase? Wouldn't it be better to print IJ40 for about half the cost, since its a flat surface anyway?
