  1. NC Vinyl installer / vehicle wrap installer wanted

    Any wrappers / vinyl installers looking for work in Raleigh?
  2. Vinyl Cutters compatible with Mac M1

    We have an old Graphtec FC 8600-160 and it works just fine with an M1 Mac via Cutting Master.

  8. Is Briteline comparable to Arlon?

    We use Briteline all the time and love it. We use Wrapcast for commercial vehicle wraps and Duration X (2303) for flat surfaces. We also carry their el cheap vinyl (2203) for economy decals and short term signage. We're happy with all of them their place. Briteline Wrapcast has proved to be...
  9. Tactile and braille sign

    Just a word regarding UV flatbed printing tactile ADA signs, I have done some experiments on our Fluidcolor R84F, and managed to print tactile text a little over 1/32" in height in a single pass using white ink to build up the height quickly and an overcoat of whatever color is needed. (I say...
  10. Removal of printed wrap with 3M Primer 94 - Any tips?

    So we're removing a wrap where the previous installer used 3M primer 94 in a BIG way. It's basically everywhere except in the middle of flat body panels. If they were trying to make sure this wrap never failed, they NAILED it. Now that I have the job of getting this off, it seems less of a...

  13. 3M IJ180 Controltac alternative?

    I’ve been using Grimco’s Briteline Wrapcast vinyl for vehicle wraps for a couple of years and had good results. I was skeptical at first but it’s proven to be a reliable product and it’s competitively priced. I find it nicer to work with than IJ180 too.
  14. Random Registration mark scanning issues when contour cutting vinyl

    Not sure where to post this as I don't know exactly what is causing my problem... For several months I have been experiencing random registration mark detection issues with Caldera and our Graphtec FC8600-160 plotter. This occurs when contour cutting printed vinyl. 90% of the time it works...
