  2. 2'x17' vinyl install

    Either method is fine. Just depends on which you are more comfortable with. I would transfer tape it. If you are in the sun this will help maintain stability while you install and also helps keep it from skewing or stretching

  4. Discussion Investor

    I personally would stay away from that. I’ve had people ask the same thing. No thanks. Specially a friend. Something goes wrong, there goes the friendship. Same goes for hiring friends or family. Nope! Have him buy the trucks and start his own company. Then sub out your work to him. If...
  5. how much for a gerber cartridge

    In my opinion, yes they are just as easy to use. You do need an empty cartridge to cut open on one side (side that faces up in the machine) You pop out the used foil Transfer the empty core Insert new foil Super simple. I use Gerber only if needed due to a specific color I get mine from...
  6. Replacing a print head on a GS6000 myself?

    I’m going to guess that you will also need the diagnostic program that they use to install the print head. I had 1 done last week and the tech was plugged into the machine when doing his calibrations. Just a guess... We had to call Epson and then in turn they call out the tech. If I...

  11. What vinyl should I use?

    AMS..... To each his own. I choose not to use calandered vinyl on vehicles. I’m not saying it is “wrong”, just my business model.
  12. What vinyl should I use?

    Simple answer. CAST! In the end it is my name on the project and I’m never going to use a calandered vinyl in vehicles. Period. The cost difference is minimal is projects like this. I personally like the 3M 180mC vinyl or 7125. The mC reduces install times. So in the end I pay more for...
