  3. OK just finished my first box trailer

    One thing You could do is on a large table set up your prints together and weld them together using masking tape and slightly pulling the backing paper so the adhesive is on the print.

  6. removing cut vinyl from a wrapped vehicle

    Is the bottom layer manufactured film or print media? As far as printed media goes, I've had mixture of results, we work a lot on higher end race cars and some swap out non profits etc. In almost every case, manufactured film was ok. The printed media gives a bit more of a struggle. However I...

    Both remove pretty well, I believe Oracal changed up their glue recently, I've never experienced it but some say they had a lot of residue left behind. My personal favorite is Avery for install and removal.

  11. GLOSS or MATTE? Which Do You Prefer?

    Learned something about this the other day, I'm sure its not nearly an issue as it is with solid color wrap film, But the surface of Matte vinyl is not a perfect flat, it has little bumps to make the light reflect in such a way that causes it to create what we call matte. In the training the...

  14. Laminator disaster

    Chartle, It's really not all too hard to run material between that once you get used to it. Yes it is poor design but I Recently went through this exact dilemma as you are, no one here even offered jack **** for advice except for calling me a noob or shoulda bought a seal haha. Luckily I had a...
  15. Laminator eating material...(yep another one of those)

    Thank you. As far as webbing is concerned, Here is how RS shows how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C87I3XhZ3U The problem is the arms are rather flimsy and actually walk / track side to side sometimes. There is a roller under the bottom roller that has bearings on each end that...
  16. Laminator eating material...(yep another one of those)

    This is how I mount a long run. Dypinc I am certain you are a book of information, No sarcasm at all. The problem is some of you people have issues really understanding that SOME people do have a understanding of what you are trying to tell them. Some of us need a small assistance, I didn't...

  19. Laminator eating material...(yep another one of those)

    Just for good measure I went and rechecked the manual.To ensure I'm not being an asshat, which i'm not...but there are plenty of newbucks on here that ask questions and expect answers without putting anything in themselves. Any how, It shows the webbing from the roller under the upper bar and...
