  1. wrapping with laminate

    Laminate is made with a PERMANENT adhesive, and it is super thin; it will NOT remove easily. Don't do it, you'll probably ruin the finish of your car.
  2. simple sans serif mystery

    Too many very similar but not correct fonts... can't figure it out!
  3. looking for air aggress fluorescent vinyl

    The solid color wrap vinyls have some flourescent colors available now with air release. https://www.cheetahwrap.com/shop/3m/3m-fluorescent-neon-wrap-vinyl You can buy it by the yard also.
  4. Needing printable 3M vinyl

    We use the 180c for print/cut all day long here. Never had a problem with it or tried any 3M w/o air release as we stock the 180c for wraps. 180c comes in all different widths so if you don't need a 54" just order a 36" roll for less. We even stock 15" 180c for our edge here, as customers love...
  5. Smithsonian photo exhibit, black plastic, print and acrylic - how's it made?

    The print is printed in reverse onto the back of the clear layer, then I assume a double-sided adhesive or the black plastic has an adhesive that adheres to the back of the print. Not sure on the stand-offs.
  6. Looking for confirmation on GerberMag

    These are for 1.5mil refrigerator-style magnets.
  7. Chrome vinyl I can print on using my edge

    We print on the VinylFX Smooth Silver on our Edge machines. I think it is also called "durable smooth silver" or "e-smooth"
  8. Looking for confirmation on GerberMag

    Awesome! Thanks! I assumed that if the machine prints lexedge fine that this would work also, but I was thinking that at some point I had heard that it worked better on the new setups.
  9. Looking for confirmation on GerberMag

    I have been using a Gerber Edge setup for MANY years now but have never tried making magnets; it's just not what we normally do here. One of our good customers now wants us to make them a few different custom shaped magnets and I'd like to make them happy, and keep the work in-house. Apparently...
  10. Best Etched Vinyl

    We have always used the 3M films and done wet installs. The installers hate it, but it is a quality product. We recently did some testing with the MacTac air egress dusted and frosted films (which are also printable), and the installers loved it. We may be making a switch soon.
  11. Anyone Up On SSD Drives?

    We have used the Samsung SSDs here on our workstations since they came out with no issues on 4 workstations. As we needed more storage capacity we just added additional drives for scratch disk space. We do NOT save any work on our workstations; everything is stored on our NAS box with multiple...
  12. Surecolor S70670 ink empty

    I know this is an old post, but check our Trigon Imaging for pricing on your inks.
  13. Latex Canvas that works with water based pigmented ink?

    Turn it over and print on the back?
  14. Short run NCR forms = DIY

    There are a lot of "digital" options, but until you get to that point (and even afterwards) I would suggest picking a bright colored piece of paper and using that color of paper for work orders ONLY. We have a digital work order system here, but we still print out an order for every job. The...
  15. Tough one...

    Looks pretty simple, something like Serifa should be good.
  16. Two big packages arrived today!

    I am not privy to that info, I do know it was an SGIA show special price.
  17. What is a used 54" SP 540 V Roland Print cut worth

    Well, you wont be using the cutter feature of a printer to do wraps OR banners, so if that is your primary need for a p/c printer I would think again. Depending on one machine for both printing and cutting makes it a pain; if you're in the middle of a wrap print (which will take ALL day or...
  18. Two big packages arrived today!

    Great news for you! We are taking delivery of a new HP360 this coming week & also a new GFP laminator! What are the pertinent questions that I need to ask the techs while they are here?
  19. What is a used 54" SP 540 V Roland Print cut worth

    Get a used plotter off craigslist, there's always some on there & buy a new machine. New Epsons can be had for under $10,000 & latex for only a couple thousand more. Remember you're also going to have to invest in a laminator soon.
  20. Are vehicle wraps in decline?

    The company I work for has been here for almost 20 years doing 99% vehicle graphics. We probably put graphics on 5-10,000 vehicles per year, and I would say that besides yard signs we only run about 50-100 jobs per year that are "signs". It started out with hand lettering and hand-cut vinyl...
