  2. Conformable reflective

    yeah, have your local 3M rep send you a sample roll of 3M IJ780MC over. Awesome stuff. We've always used IJ680CVR-10, but the new MC materials are awesome.
  3. Printing on Alumigraphics

    It sucks, we stopped using it, too many head strikes and near misse were worrying us that we were gonna kill a head. Keep it rolled up TIGHT on the roll until you use it is the best advice we have. If the roll falls over and gets a bend in it it is junk.

  7. Contour cut and photoshop

    IIRC you can create a new channel in Photoshop and name if CutContour and Onyx recognizes it. HOWEVER, that is just a memory of someone else saying it works, FWIW I place my flattened JPEG/TIF into Illustrator and use a vector path when necessary. Not many times that I design something in PS...

    Time to pick up a Pantone Swatch Book, an invaluable tool in the printing industry.

  12. Need Help Rally/Racing/Side Stripe Templates

    You can't just trace contours from PVO files; they are great for wraps, but the 2D contours just are never going to be perfect representations of the actual 3D cars. Most of the time you are just gonna have to get real intimate with knifeless tape.
  13. Need Help Rally/Racing/Side Stripe Templates

    Restylers Choice sells the kits, but wont sell you the vector files.
  14. How do you handle clients ideas vs logo design?

    I threw my care away long ago; if they want bad & ugly - give it to them! Hit print and deposit the check. It always amazes me when we get a new customer with a fleet of trucks to re-wrap and they aren't at all interested in at least getting a decent logo to start with instead of just their...

  16. Need Help Has anyone Purchased the new S60600 printer

    We don't mind the smell as it isn't that bad. Our latex was more "stinky" than the Epson printers we have now are. For quality, long term signage you should wait a few hours before laminating, but for shorter-term projects you can laminate them almost right off the printer. I would wait at least...
  17. Quality bitmap enlarging programs?

    Ther are a few different options you can try using OnOne's Perfect Resize. Sometimes the final outcome does come out looking a bit "painted", but that is it trying its hardest to enlarge the square pixels without making everything blocky at the larger resolution. Original image was 33x7.2...
  18. Need Help correction of a small crease on phototex help

    Removal and reapply (or just partial R&R) shouldn't make any change, as phototex does NOT stretch. I am betting that the bubble is from not installing it correctly or trying to stretch/bend it, when it wants to stay flat. Actually, if it (the phototex) inst fixable by squeegeeing it down, there...
