  1. Anyone know a place to order clear vinyl with white ink?

    Sort of like the family stick figures everyone has, I need a clear (finished sticker would be square, contour cut if possible) material with the logo in white. Anyone know a wholesale spot? Thanks.
  2. Any idea what is causing this?

    Does it on all media, Roland SP540V printing on matte Standard setting. Thanks!
  3. Wholesale cardboard cutouts or lifelike stands...

    Been Googling for a while, anybody know a good place to buy lifesize cardboard cutouts (from my customers artwork). I am thinking a place that prints right onto the cardboard but.... I can also print if you have an idea who could cut the material into shape. Not sure I could find a place to...
  4. The NBM Show...should I go?

    I have never been to a Sign Show, mostly because we just recently transitioned into the sign business and mostly were a screen printing company. I know this isn't the best sign show, but what has your experience been, did you feel it was a good tool? I looked at the vendors and it was sort of...
  5. Roland prints darker than it used to....

    My SP540V has started printing everything darker then what it looks like on the screen. It NEVER did this before and I did not change anything. Do you think it can be updates, the only other thing is maybe I changed something without knowing, but I doubt it. I export everything as an .eps file...
  6. Best thing to use for removing vinyl adhesive glue.

    I know there are a few things I can order but I really need to get this done today. I have a vinyl banner I bought (yellow blank 4' x 20') and lettered a year ago and a customer needs one line changed, I normally don't do it but it was pretty simple fix. The letters came up fairly easy and not...
  7. Any idea what is causing these streaks....

    I had this happen before, can't remember what I did to remedy. Any help? Thanks. (No, those streaks are not in the design...unfortunately) And rather than streaks it looks more like didn't lay enough ink in those areas. I am using the correct profile for Versacamm SP540V, Standard mode. Thanks.
  8. Vinyl on a smoker?

    Does anyone know what temperature a good wrap film can withstand comfortably? I wouldn't wrap a BBQ that gets up to 350+ but I guy wants a Smoker done and he actually only wants a about a 14x14 decal I was going to use Oracal 3751, but can't find any teperature guidelines, any ideas? He said it...
  9. Wrap training...

    I have been reading a lot web/here about different classes. If I was looking purely for install (mostly hands on) what do you recommend? I think Justin Pate would be the absolute best choice but his schedule/locations are not lining up to well with mine. I see Lowen, 3M and maybe Oracal has a...
  10. Do you use a punch for rivets/screws?

    I prefer the RollePro and finish with rivet brush, but I see some people use a punch kit. The cons I can think of for a punch is now that it is not sealed can they separate piece you make eventually come off? The cons in not using it is over time it will bubble a little. Now, is the answer...
  11. Back lit frame...lightbox?

    I am looking to either make or buy a frame for the purpose of displaying a translucent print on coroplast/glass/acrylic for a buddy of mine. I am looking to make/buy it for no more than $15-$25 looking for around 18x24 or 24x36. I found snap frames in that price but they have no depth, nowhere...
  12. Head strike? What is this?

    I get this a little too often, is it a head strike, if so how do I avoid it? Sometimes it is on the right side sometimes the left, never the middle. Is the roll to heavy and need to be let out? Sometimes it happens when I have the metal brackets that hold the sides down. Any ideas? Happens...
  13. Anyone ever wrap a toolbox for the back of a pickup?

    Just wondering, I was thinking of getting one, but want to wrap it. I know they make smooth ones, what would you think the chances the one (like shown) would be like to wrap with that pattern that is on it? If vinyl goes down...does it stay down? Any experience? Thanks!
  14. Versacamm issue, need some help fast, thanks!

    I just had to replace a magenta cartridge after I did, it started printing yellow. I called Roland and this is what the tech told me (seriously) do 8-10 powerful cleans. I told him this happened a few years back and I remember doing something with a syringe to get air out of the line but I did...
  15. Lining up window graphics...

    Question, Sometimes I struggle lining up graphics on a window or even the back of a car. I have an installer that has a killer eye that just does it great, but I lack that gift, lol. I may get some odd shaped designs that do not have a great spot to measure from (no straight line or normal...
  16. Backdrops for photos (red carpet)

    I have a customer that wants a custom backdrop for photos like the ones you see in red carpet events. I have a 54" versacamm I see many companies offer a seamless 8'' x 8' which I obviously can't do. What are my options using banner material or poster paper? Are there frames that are 4' wide...
  17. Cutting Square stickers...

    Just curious what is the best way to cut stickers, as far as layout. I need to cut and print 100 rectangle stickers 5" x 4" all the same. All edges are black (so just picture I am cutting black rectangles) Is it best to put them so close together and use a very think white line/outline and try...
  18. How would you print this?

    OK, so I am just curious what the best way to do this is. I have a logo that is about 30x30 (circle, with one line of text under it). It is going on an aluminum blank. I usually just print a big square, a little bigger than the sign itself (in this case 36x48) and just apply it as one big...
  19. ASI Show...SCAM?

    Why do I feel like I just got a phone call for a Time Share opportunity? This is the first time I received this call from a "Show Registration Expert" in reference to the ASI show in April in NYC. 2 Free passes...anyone have info on this, am I being sucked into something I need to know about. My...
  20. alternative to Gatorfoam

    I have been experimenting with cutting (or having Harbor cut) some helmets shapes out for me in gatorfoam for some local schools and then I put decals over them. However, I realize, this gatorfoam is too expensive. Sure I can fit about 6 on a sheet, but still over $100 for a 4x8, a little salty...
