^what he said. I would have thought an unprintable non-laminated vinyl would be cheaper then one that is prepared to be printed upon.

I called up my supplier. they quoted me 28$ a yard for 1080 matte white and black. 687$ a roll (25 yards) does this sound like it's a fair price? I thought a 50yard roll would cost about 500$! (roughball estimate I made up myself)

I think with those licenses you can create one-off images, but you need the extended license for derivitive work to sell en-mass.

I do not want to debate it, one is better then the other, one is more cost effective, if lamination is suggested I'd probably do it, but I've never laminated before. I just thought a material (Like someone else suggested 1080) was made for wrapping but not printing upon, so it was pre-laminated...

hydrographics, cool, thanks

I was just coming back to say that I've heard some things (reinforced with a search I did, a few pages further back) about orcal 970 with air release, looks like it does not need to be laminated? my suppliers are closed till monday, and sometimes I get really bad prices here in montreal, I have...

I have quite a few people asking me about wrapping their cars. I would like to practice on my car and my mechanics car first before doing the clients, I already turned down someone that wanted me to wrap their bently flat black, and I am close to turning down another client who wants a 996T...

Has anyone played around with water transfer prints? It looks interesting to me and I'd probably be interested in finding out more info about this technique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTxnHI78p-k&feature=related

yes, reputation has the ability to be overused. unfortunately the new system limits it to a specific forum, maybe you can modify the postbit template to link to the user's feedback thread, and lock the forum to new threads, then run a cronjob to create new threads based off usernames. this would...

nevermind. They want 10k for it. I find that pretty ridiculous considering they bought it for 50$ (it wasn't running and needed repairs).

quick question, I don't even know if it's going to be valid in a few hours... one of my suppliers blew the head on their mimaki jv5-160s and said "we've had enough of this machine" just a little while ago. they jokingly asked if I'd be interested saying it would cost about 3k to fix. I said...

montreal quebec, or quebec, quebec? I'll ask my supplier. but if they want to install it themselves... you cannot provide any warentee. I'm in montreal (rive-sud) and my supplier is in Dorval.

you can print at 1000%?? if I print at 72dpi I see visible loss in quality!

I would have gone with a "thank you" system which would be linked with the user's profile. for example: Fred Weiss 255 Thanks Fred's post: Fred Weiss posted: "[...]And that's how you should price it!" 2 People have thanked Fred: Vinyllabs.com and WWD

it reminds me of the silhouette of the fallout 3 character ;) I agree with starting over. It's too complicated, not easy enough to be brandable, not able to be photocopied, the target market is reduced by looking like it's for meatheads only, and I'd have reservations about going to see a guy...

I went through all the matte profiles on my printer, printing up a small 100% sized crop of the print, every single one came out with the same amount of ink saturation. I'm heading back to try it again.

I'm printing up 3 posters for a client, they are kind of dark, and very "brown" I'm printing directly from photoshop to the RIP on my printer. I've selected the same profile I use for my matte material (SuperHW PLus Matte) which normally prints fine (colors are off a bit but I don't have a...

if you want a pattern that does not look repeated (ie: a line or somethign along the edge) you can offset the pattern 50% in both directions, and add somethign in the center. for example: 1) create a 100x100 image. add some elements but make sure NONE of them touch the edges. 2) offset the...

First and foremost I'd like to mention that I've been doing die-cut for a while, and only recently (few months) purchased my first actual printer (hp5500uv) I also have a full time job, but I honestly think I'm staying in it because I'm a little scared of making the jump into full-time signage...
