Perforated White Vinyl -- non Printed...

[splizaat]

Hey guys, I have a customer with a white sprinter van that simply wants ONE window covered in plain white perforated vinyl -- nothing printed or cut from it.

I don't care what brand it is, I just need a piece 60" x 30" and the local shops here require that 10yards be bought at a time in perf vinyl.

In 6 years this is the ONLY perf job I've got, so i don't want to sit on all the extra material.

Does anyone know of a place or willing to sell me a piece? Let me know, I need it by monday in Oregon.

cut your own! weeding dots is a pain in the ass, but so is tracking down a chunk of white perf.

Even if I cut my own, my plotter only does 24" and I need a piece 30"...prefer not to seam it.

Would that actually work? I thought you would need the adhesive side of the vinyl to be black. Also, if it was cut well I'd think weeding would in fact be easy...don't weed each dot, just peel away the vinyl and leave the dots on the liner.

nO, PERF IS BLACK ON THE BACK SIDE, YOU GUYS ARE so CHEAP!!!!

Who is calling who cheap?? I'm not the one who suggesting weeding it...I want already perforated vinyl -- just not 10 yards of it!

See if you can get a sample from 3M, or someone. I know it's a cheap-ass way to do it, but I wouldn't want a roll sitting around either.

Get the 10 yds and offer it to your other customers.
If you HAVE it they will BUY.

, +1 to getting a sample!
I just threw that "cutting it yourself" idea out there, as a quick means to use what you have at the shop but with a 24" cutter sux when you need 30". d'oh
... and the perf doesn't NEED a black back, especially for a car window. Perforation is blacked-out as a light blocker for interior illumination.

If the perf isnt blacked out it will be nearly impossible to see through.
