Check your settings in the Properties folder for your plotter setup. If the resolution is set up incorrectly it will affect the output size. For my Roland plotter the default setting of 40.000 steps/mm is right. Try a small test plot with the digits halved and doubled to see if it cuts the right...

Thanks for the help Colin and tikiboyz! Quartzite is close, but I think Neo Tech is the winner here :) The bold version is a bit thin compared to the actual logo, but I can work with it to make an exact replica for the cut vinyl decals. Thanks again!

Just got an approval on my quote on 300 cut decals in various sizes, but the customer wanted a font that looked like the one on their webpage without knowing what it is called. It kind of resembles SF Automaton on some letters, but it is not the same. A perfect match would be awesome, but...

At least a year ago (when I first inquired the 3M dealer), for colours they only offered the 180 series, but at twice the price of 85 series. Only black and white remained from the 85 series. But the 180 series sold here (atleast) only has Comply V1, with the visible grid lines in the vinyl.

85 series was pulled from the marked because of many reported failures over here in europe. Well actually only the coloured ones, white and black remains. But talking to the customer over the phone today, and sending over the pics, we agreed that the Police Green from Oracal 970 series was a...

The colour is set, he wants just that colour, the only choice is between wrapping or painting the car. That 3M military green is pretty sweet, I have wrapped my own car in it, but it was not what he wanted. I think maybe the gloss Kelly Green from the extended 1080 range might be close enough...

Hi, I'm stuck here and was wondering if any of you could help me out. A customer wants his silver 996 GT3 mk1 wrapped in the same colour as the 997 GT3 RS in green, a Porsche color named Signal Green with the paint code 2D8. I went to my local bodyshop and had them mix up a sample of the...

I got one from my Avery supplier and one from my 3M supplier :D Both of them over here in Norway, but your local supplier should be able to give you some, or at least order in from the manufacturers? The 3M 1080 was just released in europe in November last year, got an email newsletter from the...

Also got national press coverage on this, great for my one-man small business :) http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=no&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tv2.no%2Funderholdning%2Fbroom%2Ftest-2012-nissan-gtr-denne-bilen-utfordrer-elementene-3678539.html

Thanks for the comparison Sightline, I wondered what the Hexis ultra matte looked like compared to the others. I have an upcoming project involving wrapping a VW Transporter (eurovan to you?) in matte black, and preferably the mattest available. But it also needs to be decent to work with. What...

I would say that Oracal 970RA (or non RA, they are the same finish) is the closest to satin. Enclosed is a pic showing the difference between Oracal 970 (on bottom) vs Avery Supreme wrap vs 3M 1080, all in matte black:

Not on this car no. In fact the whole wrap will be coming off soon, this was just done to promote an ice driving event arranged by the shop that owns the car. This is the first/only 2012 GTR in Norway, and with the crazy norwegian taxes on cars, this is not a $90k car, over here it costs well...

btw, the car is blue, I wrapped it in white, and cut all the camo bits individually and placed them on one by one to make the design along the way :)

I sure do! :) I'll make a thread about the project, but here are a few more pics for now:

This is so true about 5700! I usually use 5600E and its great to weed and work with generally. But one time the packing department from my supplier substituted the 5600E with 5700 because the 5600E was on backorder. It near impossible to weed without babying it to a degree that it takes 5x...

I actually wrapped a 2012 Nissan GTR a few weeks ago, and my 60" wide Oracal 970RA roll fit the hood in one piece no problem :)

Not a permanent solution, but you can download the 30 day trial from Adobe, so you can get the jobs done and buy you an extra month to search for you own copy?

Found this pretty recent video clip, seems like good chrome wrap vinyl is around the corner now? http://youtu.be/6qKMtBSDNb0

I got asked to give a quote for making and applying graphics to a company car for a local produce business, since their old supplier had gone out of business since they last bought a new car a few years back. But they have no files of their own, so I need to recreate it from pictures I took...

Hello, I did a search on this but came up with nothing.. I'm looking for a font that can resemble this typeface used on classic and new Porsche cars for the "carrera" lettering on the sides. It does not have to be a match, but one that could be passable. This is for a design layout for a...
