Has anyone had this happen to their silver vinyl? It's a SW900 Silver Metalic vinyl and has been on the vehicle for 3-4 years. Any ideas on the cause?

Hey Guys, so i have always had issues when I laminate large prints (greater than 8ft) where everything starts on square and is laminating great and then my laminate starts to shift and skew. I can pull the laminate roll to the side and fix as its laminating but I shouldn't have to do that...

Hey guys, I wonder if anyone has used either of these types of vinyl and if they have a preference. it is going to be used on simple curves.

Hey Guys so we have been contacted to quote an ambulance wrap for one of the mines here in town. They have requested the whole back and the partial sides wrapped with reflective vinyl. Now I have wrapped some repurposed ambulances before so I am not worried about the install factor but I haven't...

I am just curious to see what others do when it comes to doing ppf and vinyl wraps. we have a client looking to get a colour change wrap done but also wants it to protect the paint underneath. we told him that he would want a ppf wrap to protect from rock chips and things and then to wrap over...

I always have issues when I print on our Avery wrap film, especially when there is rich black involved. I have slowed the print speed down so it sits on the dryer longer and I have turned the dryer all the way up but I still end up with semi-tacky prints that smudge as it goes on the takeup...

Hey Guys, We are currently looking to try out some new printable wrap films as we currently use Avery MPI1105 SC paired with DOL1360. Working with the film is great but I have had print issues on the gloss material. I have had "ink smudges" when the print goes up on the take-up roll if the...

Hey Guys, I have a relatively easy decal install job that needs to be done but the client has informed us that he has got a ceramic coating that was just applied to the vehicle. I have seen videos on how to remove it from glass with a torch but I am wondering how I need to go about removing it...

Hey All, We have done a number or commercial window tints in the past with no issues but the last 2 tint jobs we have done have left a streaky residue behind the tint making the clients unhappy with the final product. The first time we noticed the streakiness it was 30+ degrees celsius and then...

Hey All, So I had a client come in today looking to get his logo on a Sea Can type trailer with corrugated siding. He doesn't want to go with an alupanel sign as he does not want to be putting holes in his brand new building. I know we can wrap the sides as long as we feed the graphic into the...

Hey All, I normally do a regular cutcontour for our decals and then weed the excess and then hand cut the labels/decals into either sheets or singles (depending on use and qty) . I want to try and speed of the process and have the printer cut to shape and then peel them out of the media...

Hey Guys, I am wondering if anyone else had graphics start to peel and curl after the heatwave? We are located in the interior of BC and we recently went thru a crazy heat wave where temps got up to 50 degrees. We had installed some laminated window perf graphics about a year ago and edge...

I have a client looking to get a decal printed for the inside of their office building so it can be seen from the outside. I have seen this type of decal before but I am not sure if it is a vinyl that you print on to the adhesive side or if you laminate it with a double side laminate? Any...

Hey All, I am wondering what material people use on a flat surface trailer wrap or box/cube truck wrap. both have no rivets. do you use a cast wrap film or do you use a intermediate calendar film? do you ask the client how long they want it on for and that determines which material or do you...

Hey guys, so we had an install done in January 2021 on mpi2923 and I had fed the graphics into the recessed area, rather than bridging since I was using mpi2923, and the client had just emailed us this photo saying it is now failing. We are located in BC and just after the install date, our...

So it's coming to the time where we need to start taking an inventory count. we do not have a real system for counting everything other than a spreadsheet saying half roll , 1/4 roll, (3)full rolls type thing. is there a more sophisticated/ accurate way of keep track or maybe a live view option...

we recently had a client come in and ask us about a job he just had just got done from another shop. He was asking if he had a shotty wrap done or if this was the norm. He would have brought it to the attention of the shop but he didn't take a close up look at it after it was done and it was...

Hey All, I am just wondering what others have done for printing on a clear vinyl. I have a job that requires multiple logos for golf carts and instead of making cutlines, as some of the logos are not vector, I thought since the carts are white I can print on a clear vinyl/laminate. My thought...

Hey all, I have a client that wants to print some very small labels. 1.5in x .5in with font point size of 3pt. We have told the client that we suggest printing of fonts no smaller than 6pt but she insist that we print them this small. We printed the run and now she is complaining she cannot...

Hey All, I am wondering what people use to help streamline production. We have just started using ClickUp as a free starter tool which seems to be pretty good at the moment, but I find it lacks in somethings. I have worked with some other software that is an all in one shop program that does...
