vehicle graphics

Hi All, I am looking for a printer that can print a logo on clear vinyl. The rectangle of clear would be roughly 26"x6" and the logo will be red and white. I would normally print them but do not print white. I am not sure yet how many the customer wants but probably 10-100. Customer wants a...

Does anyone know what font this is? I can't quite find an exact match. Thanks.

I need some help and not sure if this is possible. I have a customer that had an old airstream redone as a food truck. They gave me paint codes of an orange color to use that in their logo. Is there a way to transfer those codes to CMYK? I tried scouring here and google and couldn't figure it...

So my husband has just told me that I need to have the graphics done for one car for a local police station by MONDAY!! I’m still very new to this whole thing and I’ve definitely never done anything like this with this machine! My first thing I feel like I need to figure out is what kind of...

Hey Everyone, Just checking in to see if anyone is using a material they really like for cut vehicle lettering/graphics. We currently use Arlon DPF 4600 for our vehicles, it hasn't been bad but it does get a little difficult to work with for smaller lettering and I dont really love how it...

We are just getting started with vehicle graphics and are looking for some guidance. We are quoting putting letters on the barrell of a cement truck. Pricing: We are looking for a good pricing strategy for vehicle graphics. This is not a full vehicle wrap. I am not sure if quoting based on...

Hello everyone wanted to ask everyone's opinion on this topic. Every once in a while we get a vehicle that comes back with edge peeling on sharp curves, in this case, it is the top corner of a cab of a work dump truck. I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on how to prevent this more in...

Can anyone give me an idea of how long an eraser lasts on the zapper? I'm going to be doing logo replacements on approx. 176 vehicles over the next few months, and I'm looking into getting a zapper to help with removal. I was planning on ordering a 3-pack of erasers, but I'm not sure if I...

I've got a customer looking for some mirrored chrome lettering on his van. all the mirror vinyls i'm finding are listed as 2 year durability. Are there any of these rated for longer? do you have a recommended brand or series that you prefer? I don't deal with too many of the specialty vinyls...

I am using cast vinyl on all my vehicle installs and lately I have been noticing that cast vinyl on darker color vehicles appear to have a shorter life span than those installed on lighter colored vehicles. I had one black truck that was used by the client sparingly in his business. The vinyl...

Hello all, and thank you in advance for all the suggestions. I have been studying car wraps, and am quite comfortable on how to design the wraps. I am running into problems moving on to the next stage - printing from my design files. I have a Roland VG-540, and usually convert my files to pdf...

Hi, I’m an establish artist (sculptural/painting/mix media) looking to try my hand at personalizing my vehicle with my own work. After doing some homework, I’ve decided I would like to hand paint my design on vinyl as opposed to directly on the vehicle itself. I intend to use One Shot paint...

Ok, so I'm doing some work for a couple local dealers. All I have to do is cut the cals and hand them over. They are doing all the installs which is fine by me. Currently I'm using a 751 vinyl and one of the dealers said it's not quite as thick as they wanted and it doesn't go on quite as easy...

Hello, The company I work for is small and I am relatively new here. The previous company I worked for did not do vehicle wraps but I did sometimes apply cut vinyl graphics to vehicles. My "New" company provides wraps and since I am the only employee I have had no one to train or teach me the...

So I've had a recent run of clients who stubbornly insist on terrible designs.. job satisfaction was critically low until this guy came in who was after a logo, vehicle graphics and business cards; with the only design specs of 'orange/ black colour scheme, traditional-esque feel but I'll trust...
