Easy way to install floor graphics?

Hey all,
I have a job coming up where we will be installing quite a bit of floor graphics in a shopping centre.
Does anyone have any tricks or ideas on application tools that will aid us in laying down the vinyl and won't destroy our backs?

Better question is how long are the graphics going to be on the floor? If it is a short term event then use Spot On Floor from Drytac. Nothing easier to put on the floor in the market....even by amateurs. It is a print-direct floor media with no lamination, so that's why I'd only recommend for a shorter term event.

If it is a longer-term graphic, then a standard solution of a 3.5mil removable paired with a 6mil textured laminate is also quite easy to apply due to the total overall thickness and the lack of stretch found in the laminating film. If you want the graphic to perform for several weeks or months, then absolutely go with a laminated solution.

yellowtools has some really nice floor graphic squeegee systems

We had a big mactac non laminated floor decal job a few years back and bought a tennis court roller for $100 and it worked like a charm but it was hard to apply much pressure with it.
