  4. Greetings from Cincinnati from a jack of all signs

    Welcome from Hebron! What shop are you at now? It's unbelievable the growth in the industry in this area this year; we have MORE than doubled our sales every month this year from last year's sales... and we had a GREAT year last year. The main problem we're having dealing with all this growth is...

    3M IJ680CR, the best reflective there is, but you pay for it. It is all we use here for printing.

    It works great actually, I know quite a few people who have done it. More info here: https://www.dipyourcar.com/ and on their youtube channel.
  7. Just buy a new laminator?

    GFP 563th, with heat assist, but I usually leave the temp right around 110 degrees. Runs smooth as silk.
  8. Summa DC5sx vs. Gerber Edge 2 or FX - Struggling with this one....

    Get on Craigslist for a used Edge, they're on there for WAY less even if you have to fly out and drive it home yourself in a rental car. Personally I like the Edge 2 better than the FX. The FX I had was always having dropped pixels during runs and always needed cleaning, the Edge 2 and Classic...
  9. Just buy a new laminator?

    It sure was an older laminator with a million miles on it, but it still laminated. However, it was a pain to web up, and then you had to manually apply pressure (and run it slow) through the whole run to get it to track straight enough to not have to reprint any panels. And then, there was no...
  10. Anyone use Mactac (or another brand) frosted vinyl with air release?

    We have used the Mactac before with great results. We had to do multiple large windows in dot patterns that just would never work right in regular 3M frosted. (windows in picture are around 9'x4')
  11. Just buy a new laminator?

    I finally got this shop talked into getting a GFP to replace the aging Seal here. The Seal was only operable by one person and it was always a multi-person job to run a whole-roll through it accurately. With the GFP almost anyone can run it on their own w/o issues. We bought ours right before...
  12. Gerber Edge 1 - "Home" feature? (Been using an Edge 2

    There is no home button. We put a notch in the roll clamp (or was that a factory notch?) and put a dot there with a fine point sharpie whenever doing multi-color runs on our Edge Classic.

    Phototex, easiest install and removal.

    Any luck yet? We are also searching for one (or more possibly) here in NKY without any luck!
  15. OLD JV3 Printing GREAT on Uni directional.....off on Bi-??????

    There is bi-directional calibration tests you can run to get it printing better. Our old Mimaki tech fixed ours in a half hour or so last time we had a problem.
  16. Advice for replacing a Mimaki JV3

    I have to agree with this user. We ran two JV3s here for 10 years, then our workload increased so much that even running both machines around the clock wasn't enough. We built a special "degassing" box to speed up production time also so that within 12 hours we were able to laminate after...
  17. Spray paint on window perf - any input is appreciated

    I have sprayed automotive clear coat over top of prints that were already installed on substrates. I wouldn't think it would work well to paint vinyl and then try to install it, as you'd get cracking, etc as you stretch/bend the print.
  18. "Color matching" metallic grey truck... on window perf

    Print it as close as you can to color, some printers can add metallic to the ink or you can use a metallic over-laminate, but it wont be optically clear. Make sure they understand the ONLY way to make it an exact match, is to have it painted.
  19. Sample Vinyl

    CheetahWraps (fellers) will sell it by the yard. get a hold of your local Avery supplier salesperson (grimco/fellers) and see what they can do for you.
  20. Looking for Silver leaf Vinyl (Discontinued)

    We use a lot of Real Gold's products here and they are quality products. Worlds different from the quality of VINYLefx material which we also use a lot of.
