I am very experienced at applying vinyl and had a truck this weekend that had about a 22" x 8' graphic in 1 colour to apply to a Savanah. I had to work alone and had no help so I decided that for the main graphic being that large that I would use Rapid Tac to do the application.
I squeegeed...
I have an edge le and just ran reflective a few weeks ago and did not notice any problems... Maybe I should just run it the old way. I hope the film does not flake off out in the field!!!
I normally never purchase a 50 yard roll of Gerber 3M reflective...usually 10 or 20 yards, so the distributor just cuts it off a roll.
Today I needed 70 yards and when I picked it up the full roll has a piece of paper with an attention!! New print settings for 280i.

I use the heavy duty Olfa knives for cutting coro and pvc and also scoring composite aluminum. Never have an issue although you do have to snap the blades fairly frequently when cutting magnetic material and styrene of all things. I find the regular Olfa knives seem to cut under the straight...
Customer gives me a spec sheet for a township and they are requesting pole signs 2" x 12" that are strapped onto the light standards. The aluminum is covered with high intensity reflective and black numbers. My regular supplier does not have clear anodized 1/16 of an inch and asked why we...
Everyday it seems something new seems to happen.
received a print file from another sign shop and he had the sizes in his message. I import the file in Signlab and they come in about 1/3 the size. I told him, and he said that he received them from his client and when he opened them in Corel...
It works well, the only thing I dont like about using it is that the premask does not really stick well to the liner and can curl, so be careful how you store it before application..or staple the corners
I am posting a pic of my head unit. I saw this one connector that looks strange where it is...it is not loose but maybe it has something to do with the electric eye when setting up a new roll of material. I just found it odd the way it looked jammed in there
I have a heating air conditioning compnay that wanted decals to put on furnaces. He was worried that they would not stick and I assured him that they should be no problem considering that decals on vehicles stick on hot metal during the summer. Maybe I was wrong, but I printed him 100 labels...
should buy 1.5" velcro rolls ...a dot cannot support the shear weight of a sign that large...BTW how many dots per sign did you use. I would also use methyl hydrate to clean the wall before applying the velcro
I realize that this product is rated as a 3year low end vinyl. I am curious of those that use it how they like it and just what would they use it for besides coro signs. i suppose it is good for any indoor application as well.
