vinyl

Hello, So I have a sign writing job to do with black vinyl. However is there a way to cut black vinyl on the mimaki Cjv30 machine without registered marks? I say without registered marks, because the registered marks are printed in black and will not show up on the black vinyl. Any help is...

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...

So a Franchise shop within reach is bidding on a Business Window Frontage job that is 420 sq. ft. They came in almost half my quote, and I was aggressive. Even using calendered short term vinyl & overlam, I wouldn't try to do it for their price. Usually when this happens it's a small company or...

Just wandering if manufacturers should make lamination rolls the same size as the print vinyl (As they do right now, .25" smaller or a .5" smaller? Stuff happens, your printed vinyl wound uneven and it will weave, you did not align it right with a lamination when laminating, or whatever the...

Should all vehicle graphics be done with cast vinyl? Not talking about wraps, which is a given. What about printed graphics and cut vinyl lettering on flat surfaces?

So we've had our 260 for over 2 years now. It is still a common problem for our prints to scratch very easily. I have pretty much maxxed out the Curing temp on this thing without it self combusting....what is everyone else running their cure heat at for everyday intermediate vinyl? Currently I...

So I've had this 330 for 2+ years and I'm really all thumbs. I want to put a disclaimer out there and say that we're not the shop that makes custom profiles. In fact, we usually stick to 1 profile for all vinyl, 1 or 2 for textiles and 1 for banner and thats it. We'll do the print tests and...

I have a body shop account that needs me to remove and reinstall vinyl just like this van. Remove the same amount of lettering and re install it. I guess comcast has everything pre cut and just sends them out to the shop when they are in need of new ones. So it would just be for the labor. What...

I mostly make mailbox numbers and currently use cut vinyl. I'm wanting to go a different direction but I still like the look of the color of the mailbox showing through so I'm thinking of printing on clear vinyl. I have absolutely no printing experience so it's a steep learning curve. Printing...

I am looking for someone that can help my company with our new venture. We were subbing out all of our graphics and lettering for years. We decided to start doing it ourselves so we didn't have to exist on other peoples schedules. We are doing good with the smaller things. We are looking for...
