Hello, I'm hoping that somebody will be able to help me. My shop is mainly a commercial wrap shop, wrapping and lettering commercial vehicles, but we aim for more high end work versus high volume work. We have had HP Latex printers, a 330 and a 560, for years, and they generally work pretty...

I plan to use Polar Tac (per Geneva) to wrap this 3-sided brick area. I've never wrapped brick and obviously it's going to take longer... How long will/should this take me so I can figure out an estimate, thanks! (If you want to shoot a price out, feel free LOL)

Hi Everyone, I got a request to apply some decals to a portable hand wash station that popped up everywhere after Covid. What material do you guys use to wrap them? It is the plastic, not the aluminum style. I am thinking standard cast either 180 or 1105 but wanted to see what everyone else...

Hi all, hoping you can help sort out an issue that I had with a recent bus wrap. I am a graphic designer and did a wrap with a new shop that I've never used before. His requested file specs were 1:20 scale flattened @ 600dpi, and I was concerned that the final outcome @ 30dpi would look...

Hello! I am printing with a Mutoh 1624x. While printing anything over 2-3ft I notice that the print color kind of washes out. For example I’ll start printing a nice yellow and once the print gets about 2-3ft long it starts printing like a pastel color yellow. It’s not instant, it a very gradual...

Hi, I ordered 3M cast IJ180 graphics from a big wholesale vendor and they sent me graphics with different backing I'm used getting. When I called them they said it is IJ180 but I suspect it is not. Take a look at the backing image and let me know what you think.
