decals

A small startup with signage. Anyone here who could help me learning about decals. I believe there are three major categories of decals which are 1. Window Decals 2. Wallpaper Decals 3. Car Decals All I know about these types, I believe there are plenty of other types out there. I there...

A person came to us today very frustrated by a body shop close to me. They were supposed to remove old vinyl and apply new vinyl that was provided. This is on a "classic" vehicle that has a pretty good body. The paint was black, you can see my reflection taking the picture. The person comes to...

I see all these companies coming out with die-cut stickers and decals, like sticker app, Vinyl Bandits, Rockin' Stickers, etc. What material are they using? Maybe something that doesn't have curl. The media I have tends to curl on the edges after a while. I have an HP Latex 360 and a Canon...

Hi, I have been using Substance vinyl for my football helmets but I do not wish to keep heating them up while applying and I don't think my customers do too. I know there is convex, and I will probably switch to them, but what about 3m? do they have any vinyl thick enough for football helmet...

We've got a regular customer, which is a small local cable company, that wants us to do some new print and cut graphics on a couple of new vans. Well, they wanted partial wraps at first and I just threw together a rough wrap concept design (the design with the full-color family image) and gave...

I am looking to buy a color inkjet or laser printer to make outdoor stickers (vinyl, mylar or polyester). Under $500, the more under the better. Printer has to have at least average to above average print quality for graphics. Printer must connect to PC by some sort of cables (I do not use...

I am looking for a place to download/purchase common vehicle graphics for cars - right now I am looking for the stripes to go on a 2015 Challenger - I'm actually looking for the vector files to purchase so that I can print/cut them for myself - anyone here sell them or know where to buy them -...

Hi, I use substance 6 mil vinyl and 15 mil over laminate and I make decals for football helmets. I tried putting some decals on a helmet, but the vinyl/laminate is too thick and doesn’t bend/form to the football helmet. It bubbles up and won’t stay to the helmet. Is there any other laminate you...

hi, i just signed up in here because this seems to be the best place online after googling for over a half a year :D this will be a long post and im from germany so im sorry for my bad english. Im making decals and stickers since about 2 yrs, i always order them from a shop online. Sometimes i...

Been using Oracal 651 for a quite some time now and haven't had this issue until a few months ago. The vinyl won't stick to the application tape. On big and small cut pieces. I've been trying to do all sorts of test cutting and ordered new transfer tape as well, and it's still causing me issues...

Looking to print labels with roland eco Sol printer. The material can be written on to give the date of last service/inspection. Its pretty thick so the indent of the pen is left behind permanently. Have attached a photo. Would really appreciate any help with the name of the material.

I have a guy insisting on reflective racing stripes. I can get the 3M Scotchlite reflective vinyl he wants, I have used it once, but I’m not experienced with it. As I recall, it was difficult to work with; dry application, stiff, etc. It says it will go over moderate curves, but I’d like...

Does anyone know where I can find the blue transfer tape that usually comes on factory stripe kits?

Hello, I client of mine ordered 180 decals. then changed the number to 240. They are all simple. but involve lettering without a background so that means when we print, cut, clearing outward and inner bits and the put application paper. That's a ton of work. each small decal can take almost a...

Over the years I have outsourced my cut vinyl and graphics which have mostly been applied to vehicles or interior walls. I have ever had anything more than about 15" wide. I don't do a ton but enough to justify a piece of equipment, maybe used. Any suggestions? Should I print on my flatbed and...

Hi, We create and print motocross graphics and would like to create some decals for our local go karts racer but we can't find anywhere to get some templates of it. Can anyone do know where to find or to buy these? Thanks

Hi, So I have been in the design industry for a while now but I have recently just got some new equipment so I can make better goods. I can now make graphic kits for Motocross bikes and more but I have a question what some of you might be able to answer. I see a lot of companies what make...

So, quick background. I've been making small cut decals using Oracal 751. I really like how thin and weedable the material is. I often make customized window decals with letters around 1" tall. I have a HP L315 and have been playing around with a 3M IJ180 / 8518 combination and really do not...

Do you leave old jobs in your queue or deleate them when done? The reason I ask is I just printed some decals and used crop marks so I could laminate them after they dried. I had change the tile spacing between the decals to separate the a bit more. I had closed out VersaWorks and when I went...

Whenever I make decals of stickers the edges peel back. If i print stickers and don't use them right away then the edges want to pull away and can't make them look presentable unless I put release tape on them first. I also noticed some other signs that were done peeling at the edges and curling...
