  1. Need Help Digital Backlit adhesive for Colorado 1650

    Hey Printstuff- Yes sir, that seems to be the barrier that prevents the media from calibrating or being set up. Trying to figure out an alternate or ask if anyone is having any success with a digital adhesive backlit on the Colorado- maybe something that offers a bit more of an opaque liner...
  2. Need Help Digital Backlit adhesive for Colorado 1650

    Awesome feedback, and thank you- I will run all this past my print operators to check anything we may have missed. What they are telling me is that being that the Avery liner is also clear/ translucent the light is penetrating the liner and not allowing the media to calibrate. As far as I know...
  3. Need Help Digital Backlit adhesive for Colorado 1650

    Hello there Signs101 Fam, We have a Colorado 1650 and are in love with the output it generates so far. We have run into a few issues that Canon has typically been able to help us with, but continue to run into one issue- digital backlit adhesive. We would like to use our Avery MPI 2050 as it...
  4. Discussion Turn down work

    Riveting an ACM panel onto the truck is exactly what I was thinking. Showing the customer that you want to give them viable options and educating them is going to score you a customer way more than just listing the reasons why what they want isn't going to work.
  5. What's your recipe for Application Fluid?

    this is.. really good for just a quick sketch. Impressed.
  6. Potentially being sued

    This all must be prefaced with the known reasonableness of your customer and established expectations for the project. I admonish you to make a million percent sure beforehand that your customer is crystal clear about your shops' capacities versus what they are requesting of you. I would...
  7. When a potential client begins to introduce a new project.

    Funny that you mention that. I had a sweet little old man come into my shop and get a decal for his old F150, "Sally"- just a name in a nice 60's ad script with some pretty gold metallic. He told me about his son and how he was supposed to give him the truck and how he lost him in the Iraq...
  8. Suggestions how do I remove old cracked vinyl wrap

    My wrap installers' hands are too precious to have them strip off old wraps. I don't even offer the service, I usually point them in the direction of the local "fleet clean" company who uses a high pressure acid solution wash to remove graphics from vehicles. For lets say, a sprinter van, it's...
  9. Need Help MYSTERY PRINT MEDIA

    In California at least, vehicle window perf has to be 50% visibility or more or you can get a fix-it ticket.
  10. "...But we don't want to spend a lot..."

    ah yes, the arrogant and ignorant customer- always a pleasure to deal with :rolleyes:
  11. "...But we don't want to spend a lot..."

    I've been in the sign business for 15 years- you gotta be kinda weird to want to be in this industry :pThat being said, if you don't know how to gauge your customers' interest, communications skills and budget within the first 2-3 touches- you shouldn't be in sales. At this juncture, I can tell...
  12. Dishwasher safe decals for glass carafes

    Awesome, thanks Whiskey. Gerber Edge printers are not easy to come by nowadays and I am not 100% sure who has one in my locale but it is worth a shot. I went ahead and got the stamp ready to go anyhow and will be picking up the glass paint tonight for testing. I will let you all know how it...
  13. 1953 B4 Dodge Pick-Up

    A well executed application and honestly I DIG the rusty look, and I am a picky woman. Great wrap, this is a showpiece for sure. Cheers!
  14. Dishwasher safe decals for glass carafes

    This is great info. I was hoping maybe to bypass etching altogether and create a stamp using our trotec and apply the logo with a similar paint. They have big ovens too that they can use to cure. I am actually heading to the craft store momentarily to grab some paint, I should pick some of this...
  15. stumbled across this on Youtube

    Amazing. Cool as he** to see there are so many other musician sign folk in the world. Mom was shredding that bass. I love this, thanks for the awesome share. <3
  16. Dishwasher safe decals for glass carafes

    This is a REALLY good idea! I'd have to test it out to see how it would work but I really like this direction. Thank you!
  17. Dishwasher safe decals for glass carafes

    Thank you for this! Trying to figure out what they are printing on and if it is something I can obtain and use for this purpose... thanks so much for the lead. I have it in my bookmarks now. Have an awesome week ahead.
  18. Dishwasher safe decals for glass carafes

    This is awesome. If I can figure out what they are printing to I am sure I can work with these. Thanks for this link!
  19. Dishwasher safe decals for glass carafes

    Excellent point, I would hate to contribute to anything that could get someone ill or potentially failing a health inspection. These inks are not to be trifled with- I remember when I was pregnant with my son (13 years ago now) I worked right next to a huge NUR Salsa that was so noxious my eyes...
  20. Dishwasher safe decals for glass carafes

    I am tempted to try exactly this, however my concerns are if it will get milky looking over time. Have half a mind to just try some 7725 and shoot it with clear but I've never done that before and am concerned it would look like Thanks so much for your suggestions!
