Grimco is our supplier for Gerber now that Advantage is gone. Gerber has a nice new catalog out also.

Very simple job to do. A Gerber Edge & Gerber sprocket fed plotter would make short/easy work of this project. Then you would have the colors already pre-spaced and you'd just have to weed and mask it for a simple easy install. A roll slitter could make the individual stripes easily enough...

I drew this up in vector format from a customer's drawing of their car. There is no substitute for putting vector points together; no filter is going to get you to quality vectors. I think this took 10-12 hrs of intense drawing and had 22 layers to keep things organized/locked while I was...

Those roll up onto a "core" inside the base, so there is no reason for them to have wrinkles except for mis-handling.

Tape, just make the banner without hems or grommets and have them tape it to their car. That photo is of a fabric "banner" not a vinyl banner.

Sounds like a horrible background color (gradient) for a wrap. Just sayin.

Get a good software program and processes in your shop to track orders. Treat every order individually.

Business is up around 150% from this time last year, which was up 100% from the year before that.... I know we're sending out more jobs than ever, but also costs are rising all over and mistakes are up 500% from a couple years ago. Hard to find good help that wants to show up to work. Installers...

It works well, but we usually just use the 3M remover in the metal can, it's what ours guys seem to prefer. I think we buy it at the local autobody/paint store.

We haven't printed either of those two vinyls here, but I'm wondering if there is a surface coating to optimize latex printing on the one that is giving you issues? It looks like a latex/solvent issue to me from when we had latex and solvent machines in-house and accidentally put the wrong roll...

The black/stronger razor blades can definitely scratch glass. Stainless ones do not.

Also, always install your panels FLIPPED like a regular wrap would be printed when installing solid color wrap vinyl. Due to the process of making the wrap vinyl, color can vary slightly from the left to right edge of the roll. I believe 3M now has some arrows on the liner, but most do not know...

To the poster above with banding isues, the material feed calibration setting looks to be your issue.

Yes, we looked at them, but they weren't the right fit for us here.

Actually, some 3M wrap films are also NOT fully opaque, like their carbon fiber wrap material for instance. Always, always read the spec sheets on your products. Another VERY important piece of info about solid color (wrap) vinyl is that you have to be sure to specify that all rolls of wrap...

Grimco is offering us lower prices, but their service is not as good as Fellers, so you do have that trade-off. It usually takes them around a day longer to get materials to us than Fellers.

I'd do a print/cut on some DPF8000, that stuff will stick to anything... your skin, fingernails, arm hair, etc, etc.

He has a machine with more than CMYK inks for those here just quoting "CMYK spectrum" so he can hit a lot of colors outside of the standard 4-color spectrum. In your RIP turn up your saturation to 25% more in all colors and print another Pantone chart out and then turn them all up 50% and print...

It is just a path in the shape of a check mark with a specific brush applied to it. Seriously 30 seconds and 2 tools in Illustrator.

Print our a Pantone chart and see what all you can get in that color range and then go from there and tweak some values of the closest colors.
