They look great. A talented bunch on here!

I want to make sure it can come off cleanly. Hate for someone to go after me if their laptop is damaged by the media. Especially people are sensitive about their computers... Have a few makes to look into and play with. :thankyou:

Thanks all for the advice.

I see another thread about wall stickers and recommending Phototex. http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59189 Does this mean that a media used for wall stickers is also the same used for the laptop covers?

Thanks Pat. If you don't mind me asking which Controltac product did you use?

That's really cool! You could have a lot of fun with this. Have you tried to remove it? A friend had a skin on a phone about 2 yrs ago and after 6mths it pull off easily with no damage to the phone. Not sure if same type of media but must be. Any one have preferences on brand?

Welcome from fellow newbie in BC. This forum is great and very helpful. Sooo much to learn but sounds like you have a headstart. :thumb: :Canada 2:

I saw these on Fathead today. You can make graphic skins to put on laptops and they are easy to remove (no residue). Very cool and thought good promotional branding for some companies. http://www.fathead.com/skins/ Any idea what media you would use for this? Is it the same as the material...

Thanks! I'll look into it further. I want to be ready in case I'm called out on it.

Starting in February any clothing including t-shirts and labels that are for children or put on toys, equipment used by children will need to be lead-free and phthalate-free. You will have to show that your goods have been tested for this. Anyone heard of this or know if the vinyl and ink...

Is this the machine you are talking about? The Roland site says list is $60,000 US. http://www.rolanddga.com/products/printcut/lec300/

Also check out auctions in your area for companies going out of business. You can sometimes pick up tables, shelving etc pretty cheap depending how many show up for the auction. Doesn't have to be a sign shop - can be a manufacturer closing up and has lots of good stuff.

Not sure if this company has the size you need but they have vinyl labels that may work. http://www.onlinelabels.com/ You can use their online software to add your own design. http://www.onlinelabels.com/maestro-label-design-software.htm

Thanks all. You make me feel very welcomed.

I visited Gabriola Island last month just for the day. Beautiful! Have to stay for a few days next time.

I'm in lower mainland. You're in northern BC? We just sold my in-laws place this summer near 100 Mile House. That's as north as I've gone

Living in beautiful BC, Canada and just getting into the biz of small custom decals. I'm part of lay offs that happened earlier in the year and now going through an entrepreneurial program. So much to learn and already have received lots of great feedback and advice. Lots of talented...

Fred, does this hold true if its the Gerber Edge FX. I notice another post that I think you say the FX is harder to get anything other than their own brand of materials. I would like to get a second hand Edge but being a newbie, I feel I need the support of a warranty and training that I can get...

In my case, I need very durable decals and when I tested the inkjet printers, some colours in the decals were fading. I don't want to get into laminating them so thermal may be the answer for me. Have to get some samples done up and test them out to be sure.

I saw the ND graphics as distributor but didn't think they could be the only one in Canada with it. They have Summa too. Not sure if only ones in Canada for that one too. Not much competition especially when you see WA has so many for one state!
