    we just did a full wrap on a sprinter van and on the sides where the deep pockets are we just went over them as any indent and afterwards went over with a bit of heat and pushed the center of the vinyl in and then the edges but that is a far distance to stretch the vinyl and of course the color...

    I am always unsure of a good font to use on directional signs such as 12 x 18 no parking signs, fire route, etc. In the past I have used impact and transport heavy but neither of these really look good to me so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a really good font choice for these.

When we do this we have 4 or 5 panels and therefore have 4 or 5 seams to try and line up, which never seem to line up properly. I have always wondered if it would be better to print the panels horizontally and have only 1...
