Oraguard 290 is a 10 year wrap cast UV laminate - not entry level at all, in fact try to find better. They now list it as 9 year (I think) as they have their non PVC line they are promoting and listing as 10year. We use it on anything that needs UV protection. It is on a paper/clay liner...

This is a can of worms as everyone has their favorite printer, but here is a bit for you: Print and cut always sounds great up front. but the reality is that printers that can do both don't really cut well. A few years back we added Graphtec 9000-160 plotter and it increased our ability to...

Just got done wrapping two large box trucks boxes and rear rollup doors using General Formulations GF830 AutoMark vinyl and GF831 clear lamination. Give the material a big thumbs up: Printed well Easy to apply Finished product looks great Some things to know about this vinyl: it seems a bit...

GF226HTR has worked well for us. It is High Tack and Removable! Another plus is General Formulations is an American Company and their vinyl is American Made.

Not sure why you want to wet apply when there are many good choices of Wrap vinyl, like: Orajet/Oracal 3951 RA Proslide would be an excellent choice - low initial tact, air channels to make dry apply on compound curves easy, 7-8 year warranty depending on laminate used (note this vinyl is...

We've had ours for a couple of years and it has never done anything like this. Sounds more like an employee goofed and didn't want to admit it, or someone else messed around and made the change either by leaning on the pad or not knowing what they were doing. Maybe someone that services them has...

yes, the Solv S1000 removes contaminates, like oils, fingerprints, and specs of material. Spray it onto a microfiber cloth and wipe, or on big pieces you can spray the substrate and then wipe. I like to do a final wipe of the whole thing carefully all in one directions. If you give it a minute...

I think using that as laminate was bad advice. Also think you should use better quality vinyl and laminate combination. They need to shrink at the same rate or you will get edges curling away. At the least, I would use a polymetric intermediate vinyl if not a cast premium. Over either I would...

That looks pretty mild. I would do a cleaning and a new test print. I doubt that you have any damage, but you may need to do a manual cleaning as there may be some ink soaked dust hanging off the head too. Should be an easy fix.

Can't be sure without examining the substrate in person, but looks like rub marks (perhaps from being shipped/delivered to you).

For me it is always funny to think that sign businesses need help marketing themselves... we make signs, which are advertising after all, but still need to market other ways.

We clean ours with Solv S1000 and a mircofiber cloth/rag before printing. Let dry completely (only about 15 seconds) after wiping evenly all in one direction. https://tubelitedenco.com/inx-solv1128.html There are several vendors, so check the pricing before ordering.

A cold lamination table is very useful. Like this Cut Work Table: https://cwtworktools.com/ You can use it to cold laminate, marry multiple colors of vinyl, apply vinyl to all sorts of flat substrates including reverse weeded vinyl onto acrylic sign faces with no bubbles.

1. Buy larger cardstock, print multiples butt against each other, lay sheet on the material, trim to individual pieces. 2. Buy UV printer, print jig of multiple cards to fit printer, lay cardstock in jigs (outlines), print directly on multiple cards. 3. Fold back a 1/4" of wax paper, align with...

We have done a lot of roll up doors on fire trucks. You have to make two slits at each joint - one above and one below the joint. If you just slit it in the middle the vinyl will catch water and dirt and pull away. We always trim them 1/32 or so inward from the joint so that shrinkage is not an...

Don't know of any, but would suggest you consider a FC9000-160 too - just as good, have seen some pop up earlier this year, and has a better optical eye.

That sounds like your printer needs a calibration and/or or has a few clogged nozzles. If you print at high quality do you still get that banding?

I have only ever put vinyl on finished painted wall, but some advice: paint is dry to touch soon after painting but off gases/internally dries over 30 days - so best not to rush install, always do a test to see how well is adheres - you can use heat to help, but wrap vinyl is not meant to stick...

Just got a pack. That price is amazing. Thanks for the tip

We use a Graphtec to cut out the magnet. We have to coat the magnetic side of the material with three layers of application tape to keep it from sticking. We also put a small table in front of the plotter and have one person on each side so the weight of the material is supported as it feeds...
