Hello from St Ives, Been in the Sign industry since 1999, just a small self employed outfit.. Purchased some printed material from a supplier & they used a letex machine, using Metamark MD3 material with a gloss laminate.. After 9 months each vertical overlap, the laminate has migrated back 25mm from the print & on every top & bottom, 11 panels each side on 4 truck trailers.

Any suggestions as to the problem please..

Cheers

That vinyl you used was Calendered and probably the laminate was too. You should be using cast material for vinyl and lam. It has less of a chance of doing that what you are showing.
