  1. Stubborn Wall, Graphics Falling Off

    So I have been in the print industry about 35 years and have not seen this before. We supplied some printed GF 229 Wallmark Canvas for a repeat customer and after they installed it the material started getting horizontal air bubbles increasing as the hours went on. We assumed since the wall had...
  2. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    We have had pretty good luck using the Versagraphics Peel & Stick Wallpaper for several Casinos. It is more aggressive than the PhotoTex and still has the light stipple finish, no Laminate needed using Canon Colorado 1650. However we have found much better luck wiping the wall down twice instead...
  3. 20' Trailer wrap

    We do work like this pretty regularly and looking at your materials we would be around $18-$22sq’ just for the Materials & Print. Design time we charge $150 an hour, Installation for this would be anywhere from $4.50-$6.50sq’. However I would really reconsider the choice of Laminate as it’s only...
  4. Direct Print To Aluminum vs Vinyl Application?

    We currently have a Canon Arizona 2380 and have been asked by a client to reproduce several Aluminum Signs used as directionals in a parking area. My question is even with Canon UV Inks would it be better to direct print these or print to Vinyl, Laminate then apply to the Aluminum? signs will be...

    Our company currently produces MX, Side by Side, ATV, Snowmobile Graphics in-house. We print using 1 of our 3 Canon Colorado Printers and cut out using a Zund. I could help you out with material referrals, templates etc if you are still looking for help?
  6. Flexcon Vinyls Issues?

    Our company currently purchases about 30 rolls of Low Energy Vinyl a month for MX, ATV, and Side by Sides. Recently we have been swarmed by the rep from Flexcon trying to get us to switch to their vinyls, even to the point where he is offering at least 30% mark down from where he started with...
  7. Window Perf Rolling Itself Off

    Sort a weird issue, we Laminated some Window Perf for Windows on a Van and 2 days after Installation noticed all the Windows that had Perf were rolling themselves back off! We did a second can and no issues, same material, same Installer. After talking to my guys we discovered that the Van that...
  8. Possible Material Failure

    So we have a Building Location in Southern California that we do Building Wraps on and have them done them pretty consistently for over a year. The last one we went out to install this week the material would not stick to save it's life. We were installing HP Optimal Gloss Air GRP. Printed using...
  9. Clear Vinyl on Canon Colorado 1650?

    Has anyone had any luck printing Clear Vinyl on the Canon Colorado 1650? Because of the Clear material the printer is not wanting to recognize the material.
  10. Canon Colorado 1650 FEEDBACK

    We had 2 HP Latex 570s and an HP R1000 Latex. I can tell you we were very skeptical about the sales pitches we got from Canon and how we would save switching to their printers. We mainly print PSV Vinyls for off road graphics and I can tell you that after carefully watching our ink usage for the...

    Has any heard of the House Brand from Montroy Supply called "Moncor" they make a 70/30 or at least they claim to make it but all the data looks to be a Chinese Manufactured Perf? We have a sales person that has a relationship with Montroy trying to corner us into buying it but I can get the...
