new heads does not equal a new printer. how much run time are we looking at?

Why is this post under "Classifieds"? What is this... the window of a panel van? In any case... you're asking too much of this vinyl. Wrap films aren't designed to be stretched that much, regardless of how much you heat it up (even if you use primer). It's going to lift back up in no time...

I agree with the comments above. This thing is scary and needs to be taken down before someone gets hurt (or at the very least, falls down and gets destroyed). Yes, it does need a frame, supports, solid anchoring etc... but if those things were already skipped the first time around, I'd be...

Flexi 12 on Win 11 here... no problems at all.

Not just "if" but "when" drives fail. Remember that all drives will fail at some point -- 100% guaranteed to die -- whether it's a few years, 5 years, etc. So if you decide to go with the local backup option, make sure your server is configured as RAID 1 (drive replication). Avoid the...

I have the take up option on the 160 (6 or 7 years old maybe?), but the opportunity to use it doesn't come up as often as I expected because I'm typically running 1 job at a time. You either need a healthy front leader to tape up to the reel (probably 2 to 3 feet worth, because it has to reach...

Nothing beats a Summa.

I've used a tabletop Hiker for the past 15 years. Zero problems. For larger jobs I prefer to use this beast: https://www.edwardsegalinc.com/index.cfm?level=3&pg=3&pid=10

weeding reflective sucks. I've had better success with reverse weeding though. (mask the whole thing, then weed away from the masking)

Or depending on how you're going to hang it... have 'em weld in some top/bottom pole pockets. Each banner will probably weigh around 15lbs. A piece of conduit and a couple of brackets on each side of the window should do the trick. (and another piece of conduit in the bottom to keep it taut)

+1 for citrus cleaner, but get the good stuff -- not the trash from Walmart or automotive stores. You want 85% concentrate (in spray) or up to 92% (in aerosol). It can be found in the bigger roofing supply stores -- my friend manufactures it and sells to to a lot of the big roofing supply...

Thanks :)

Looks good! Not sure what he meant by that comment, but I'd guess that's it's missing cracks... and maybe lighten the red a bit.

This is what I use too. Works great. Never had any issues with lifting.

^ Exactly this. When customers give you a complete breakdown of materials and such... they're basically trying to keep you from marking things up... and ultimately trying to make you negotiate your own labor costs. It's insulting, really. If I were you, I'd just quote these guys using your own...
