You are correct Gino about a couple of things, but let me tell you I am a growing business and just starting to expand into vehicle graphics, wraps, vehicle lettering etc. I am not trying to become a sign shop, I do have a shop with a reasonable amount of space but not big enough to do...

I was thinking the same thing also that they maybe a little too unsteady for me to use efficiently. I also gave the little giant ladders a look, they maybe the way to go.

Here is probably the craziest question anyone will probably ask in a while, here goes....... I did another 20ft box truck over the weekend and my problem was getting to the top of the box without access to a ladder. Good thing I had a buddy who let me borrow his for the job. My dilemma is that I...

I thought that is what you guys meant by tacking. I have used those before just wanted to make sure. I 'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Hey Gino what exactly do you mean by "tacking down the truck"?

I am about to do a 20ft. box truck and it just so happens on the first one I get the whole box has been sandblasted and there is a powdery residue left on the surface. It will be a full wrap but I am kind of leary about it adhering properly to the surface. Has anybody had this experience? I...

Havent tackled it yet, I will keep you guys posted thanks!

Thanks guys for all the help, this will be the first time I would have to cut this long continuously. I will try and slow the machine down to its slowest setting and see if that works.

I have a customer who wants two stripes to run the length of his 20ft long box truck, my question is has anyone cut a stripe this long without tracking problems from your cutter. I am afriad that since the stripe is so long that the vinyl will get off track. Any suggestions on how to keep it...

I had a similar problem with my FJ-50, found out that I had too many other programs open, when i was using flexi. Try closing everything but the production manager and flexi. Hope this helps. Also if you have the printer on the menu screen and not the main screen it won't do anything either. Hit...

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck printing flags with their Roland. I have a FJ-50 converted to eco-solvent ink and a customer asking about custom flags. I know there are options to outsource but I would like to keep as much work in house as possible. If anyone has done this please...

What material did you use? I am looking at doing this to a customers vehicle very soon.

any suggestions on a black vinyl, I know 3m has good wrap vinyl but customers tend to balk at the price.

For all that have printed black on wrap vinyl and laminated it with matte lam to acheive matte black, how cost effective was that say vs. buying a black film and lam with matte or buying something like the Oracal 970ra that is matte black already laminated? Which would be the most cost effective...

thanks a bunch I will give this a shot!

so is the printer just using the reflective tape as a reference, and since the media covers most of it once it sees the reflective tape again it uses it as its stopping point?

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to print starting as close to the right side edge of material. I have a FJ-50 and understand that it will print up to 53" wide, for some reason when it starts to print the heads start to print about an inch from the right side. How can I...

I use the big squeegee for laminating its in my budget.:wink:

cool I will give it a shot.

Thanks that is what i was thinking. So what method do you guys use to cut off that extra unprinted area? What could I use to keep it straight, I really would like to stay away from hand cutting that long, especially when I get things rolling and have to do a trailer or something that big. should...
