  1. Need Help Compatible print substrate for Avery 6040 Sparkle lam on a boat?

    Avery's website is not giving me much when looking for what to print then apply 6040 on, and I'm worried about slapping it on some Arlon or 3M and having to deal with the laminate peeling down the line.

  3. Avery MPI 3000 Review?

    Hi everyone, We are currently deciding whether to switch from Oracal 3164 to Avery MPI 3000 as our primary low cost vinyl. We print primarily on HP latex 65500 and the print seems better on the Avery. The 3164 sometimes gets wrinkled because of the heat of the print. We have experience on...

I...

  9. Any Avery Wrap Wholesale Printers?

    I'm an installer looking for a wholesale supplier who uses Avery's 1105 film. I currently use Signs365 and B2Signs, but they both use 3M IJ180. I'm not happy with the way the film is laying down. The initial tack is too high and the repositionability isn't there. I can't tell if the ink is...

  14. Looking for a good laminate suggestion.

    Hi All! I do most of my printed graphics on IJ35C, and I used to use 3M 8508 overlam, but that is leaving very bad silvering issues. My vendor agreed to take the roll back from me, but nothing has compared to the clarity of my cast overlaminates such as Avery 1360. That said, Avery 1360 is...
