'Really like the flow on Metro Fences' Hyundai. :thumb: On the same pic, you're probably not the one who dropped so many letters on rig's door in the background behind the car, don't you? :covereyes:

So tell me how you do it... I usually let the print dry 18-24 hours, rolled loose over a grill with small fan under it to help the solvent to vent out of the tube. I rarely install right after I laminated so there's a rest time there too. The particular job described above sat for like 3...

That helps since the vehicle is white but the same vinyl on dark colored paint such as dk. blue, dk. charcoal, burgundy or black and you're in trouble within 2 years.

You can change your preferences to not save every 10 min. If you have the discipline to save your work from time to time, you will avoid the software to do it in inappropriate moment...

Here's the link where I get mine http://stores.ebay.com/MoProAuto/Ford-F-Series-Truck-/_i.html?_nkw=Raptor&submit=Search&_fsub=3086510010&_sid=100134010

This "snap" technic is what I do when vinyl permit it... not all brands / series work the same (3M 7725 is particularly good for small caracters). One thing I do to speed-up and secure this "snap" technic is to make sure the cuts are separated. I mean by that making sure there's a gap between...

'Sounds like a kinda "compound" issue, like if the holes were white over red letters so when you send it to cut menu, the holes are missing or treated differently. I'm not surprised 'cause you got what you paid for. SignMax is located in my area and I have worked with their 1st version 25...

I hear you but as a matter of fact, it's not labeled on the box "crappy material inside" so 'had to try it by myself. I always had great experiences with Oracal's 3951 but as it may be a li'l too aggressive on some installations (initial tack), I was tented to try their "new lower initial tack"...

Didn't know / realized it. I think you got a point. Issues match that period... :omg:

In Canada, we have very limited access to Arlon (unfortunately). I know there's 2-3 distributors in our province but they never sent litterature / samples or a sales rep to introduce me to their lines. I'm pretty sure it's quality stuff but I won't run after 'em to get material... All other...

In September, my local Avery supplier ran a special deal on wrap combo for $839 (that's quite a deal) !!! Yeah, I've been told in the past to run a heatgun over laminate's surface to bring back the gloss to decent level but I have better things to do so to speak... my expectation is that a...

I had, 2 years ago on a Sprinter. I failed miserably trying to have it stay in place in deep recessed corner in the back. 'Had to perform a relief cut first and had printed a "patch" to cover the gap. While it works great on moderate curves (damn I love the real low initial tack of this...

I've worked for years with 3951... this particular roll of 3751RA gave me hard times. I don't know what I did wrong (printing? drying?...) but trust me, many folks would have canceled the job and refund the client or re-printed the whole job to avoid wasting countless hours to lay it down...

Ace, at my shop I print 3M and Oracal side-by-side with same exact results on my Roland printer. They both print great but what I hate about 3951 it's the adhesive's initial tack. I know they changed the "pattern" recently which may help a li'l but the previous batches in past years were...

I'm sure it's a great material and also know for sure it prints well because I already bought 3M IJ180 in the past while I used to print from my SP300 (30"). But does it worth paying almost 40% more?

That what I pay usually for a combo (Oracal). Around here, I can even found Avery's MPI1005 EZ RS + DOL 1060/1360/1460 under $900... That's why the prices seems so crazy to me... 'Swear the God I'll cut my install time by 50% and it'll pay by itself but otherwise, it's burning money...

I'm a long-term Oracal user but recently I wrapped a car with their so-called "low initial tack" 3751 and it turned into a +20 hours nightmare. I'd like to give 3M a chance to get more business from me but after I revised their quote, I'm asking myself: "can I really afford this?" They...

I was tired of the "usual" 3M-1080 with the texture so I looked at the products they use in Europe. I ended up importing this stuff from SOTT and it looks fantastic. I only wish they could make it "air-eggress" but not for now. Available in Gloss or matte finish, it's marked as 7years cast...

'bought a brand new SP-540i and after few jobs, it printed random banding on solid colors (the most annoying fact was it happened like at the 9ft mark on a 10ft long print, ruining the whole job and creating major waste of consumable, cast material and time). Techs never been able to address...
