To keep this short, I have a customer that I do roughly 12 full color change wraps for, per year. It is a commercial account requiring the wraps to be Pantone matched, printed and installed. This was a great account when I first got it, and did not have the customer basis I do now. Well being...

I find myself quite mechanically inclined, and usually have no problem removing items like handles, mirrors, ect... I've got a 2024 Chevy Trax in for a color change, and cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove these exterior door handles!! Has anyone worked on this new model by...

Bringing back this thread instead of starting a new one. I have been in the sign industry for 13 years, and have been doing wraps for about 12-1/2. It was something that I caught on to quick, enjoyed the process and my attention to detail made me good at it. With that being said, I now run my...

This is one I've never seen before. That "S" should be pretty recognizable if this isn't a manipulated font. Tried WhatTheFont, FindMyFont, Font Squirrel, Reverse Google Image Search... no luck. Any ideas??

I've been in the sign/wrap industry for 12 years now. I finally went off on my own in 2020, and business has been great. My quality of work tends to be greater than my competitors (the reason I went off on my own in the first place) and customers are noticing that. I hired my first full time...

So we just got a Graphtec FC9000 cutter, and use Flexi Production Manager to send all our files to it. We are temporarily sending prints to a partner shop that have been printing and cutting for us, but we would like to utilize our new cutter and cut them ourselves. If we set the Graphtec cut...

Appreciate the tips. I'm assuming it's something with Flexi or Production manager since I used another program other than Production Manager with my last cutter, never had a single issue for 3+ years. File size doesn't matter, even it's just a small vector shape it does the same thing. I can't...

Did anyone find a resolution to this? I am having the same issue. It worked fine until I downloaded production manager and linked it to my new Graphtec cutter.

Thank you! I'll see if I can place an order tomorrow morning. Weird it says discontinued, I had one vendor and one of my sales reps both tell me production hold until beginning of next year at the earliest.

I have a customer that paid a material deposit almost 3 months ago, requiring 2 different metallic vinyl colors that were specifically matched to his trailer. I called my usual supplier while he was standing here writing the check to verify it was in stock. A short time later, I got a call back...

So we have been doing a large number of color change wraps. We are one of the few shops in our area that do things properly and take a lot of pride in the quality of our work. With doing this, we are always removing lots of parts, and dealing with broken or missing nuts, bolts, clips and...

Just noticed when ordering Avery SW900, on the product details it gives the general info about Dry Apply only.. but I had never noticed it says "Use a heat gun instead of a torch, when heat is needed. No torch." Why is this? We usually use a torch for all installs, unless it's a matte or satin...

Does anyone have any information on the legality or if there would be any copy-write issues for using a video game "screenshot" as part of a vehicle/trailer wrap? I have a customer that is building a mobile gaming trailer, and for part of the wrap, he wants to use like a scene with some...

Thanks for all the help! I'll let you guys know what I go with.

This is what I was thinking, the 100w are rated for 10-14' ceilings, but I have never seen these style of lights in person. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075ZV37CY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2AJ0653QY6V72&th=1
