I have an existing translucent white sheet that inserts into a light box. Its really large and has a vinyl overlay with the letters cut out so they can be seen at night while showing color through the vinyl. The client wants to change this to say something else. The problem is that I am not...

I may have a client that wants a large window decal for her shop made and Im thinking she will want it on the inside to be seen from the outside. Im not completely sure how this is done. I figure you print it out on normal adhesive vinyl then put a two sided laminate overtop to stick to the...

Have a rush job on some yard signs. I generally like for them to dry overnight before putting the vinyl onto the board. Whats the best way to dry them really fast? Ive been told to put them into the refrigerator for a few hours which I have tried but didnt seem to help too much. Considering...

A police officer came in today inquiring on pricing to decal up some new vehicles they have coming. I looked at his current car with graphics and saw what I havent come across before. The star is a type of yellow/brown with black outlines. The center is white (i assume unprinted) with the county...

I decaled up our delivery van over the weekend. It was cold but used a heat gun and things seemed to work ok. I noticed today in the rain, one of the decals created a few pockets that now holds rain water. It there any way to make this stick again without replacing? Maybe a spray or something...

Im about to decal up our delivery van. Its been a little on the colder side and I hear you shouldnt if its too cold. So what is too cold? Or does it not really matter?

Where is the cheapest place to buy standoffs? I really just need 1 or 2 (may get more later for future projects) and looking around online, it seems they run about $25-$30 minimum for a set of 4. I called Fast Signs to see if they would sell me one or two of them, they wanted $25 EACH, ack!

Ive seen this one before but cant remember how he got in and out of it but I was changing the laminate. I was pressing the run button to feed everything instead of the pedal. Then I find the button doesnt work anymore, only the pedal. Also when I press the pedal, it feeds real slow with a...

I hate throwing away large pieces of vinyl whatever kind it is. I find way to use them for smaller projects later that I could use it for to save money. I seem to find my scrap pile builds up mostly with lightweight banner vinyl thats a little small for normal sized banners but they are too...

I have a couple rolls (and seen others online) that are meant mainly for flat surfaces. Just how flat are they allowed to be used on? Does it have to be as flat as the side of a tractor trailer or is something like the slight curve of a vehicles door ok as well?

Not sure how vague of a question this is, still learning all the crazy materials out there! I have a Roland Soljet with Roland VersaWorks. We are going to print on an MPI25111 Wall Film material and unsure which of the media types I should use for it. This is an adhesive semi removable...

Dunno whats going on, colors seem to look mostly ok but my blacks are printing really green now and no idea why. We generally print with the Pre-press US color profile. I find that if I use the MAX Density US color profile, my blacks are nice and black again but colors are slightly darker...

We are using an Artic Titan 1064wfc laminator. Not to familiar with this machine other than laminating with it. We turned it on, it was doing random beeps like when you put your fingers in front of the laser but the laser was clear. It eventually stopped. While I was lining up everything, it...

We have to make a removable sign for someone that will probably be removing it every day after they leave work. The surface is aluminum so magnets wont work. Its dark blue so using clear window cling probably wont work since we cant print in white (just tried, its way too light and really only...

We are using a Roland printer that uses VersaWorks. There are a TON of preset media types to choose from when we print. I am going to print on some clear window cling material but dont see anything in the settings that sound like what I should use to print with. Any thoughts what this might...

I have to remove an F250 emblem from the tailgate of a Ford tomorrow to put a decal in its place. I hear that there is probably a hole where those emblems are. if there is, is there anything I can or should do since the decal will probably go right over where the whole is?

What should I tell a client about how to take care of the decals on their vehicle after I put them on? Im sure power washing is out of the question but Im sure there is more?

We have been using a laminating machine which does a good job, its just a pain to change out and reload. So since I discovered the big squeegee, I have been using it for applying vinyl to foamcore and other materials. I have seen where people are also laminating with the big squeegee also. I...

Im putting something together now and pretty sure I have seen it done before, just wanted to be sure. I need to put a big graphic on the side door then some text that would run over top of it. With the size and shape of everything, I think it would be much easier to do this as two separate...

Im hearing mixed things about UV laminating window perf material. I hear that its difficult to laminate and that its also recommended if a wiper will be running over it. But Im also hearing its just fine without it. I dont recall ever seeing it laminated before but I dont want it to fade from...
