What plotter do you have knowing the make and model will help I have an ebay plotter I use for back up it was my first and still runs it is a pcut and I know that it will work with flexi. You should check the website of the manunfacture to see if they have drivers for the program you want to use.

Fred, 400% with out a prog like blowup. I figured you would be able to go no more than twice the size of the original ie 100ppi max size X 2 with out getting a bad pic. I realize some stuff wont be able to scale that large but man this is great so a 8 meg camera set at highest setting can...

Fred thanks for the reply but you said set the ppi to 72 or 100 so with the settings of my camera 3264X2448 I can set a new canvas in photshop to 72ppi and set the size to 45" x 34" and bring in a photo with the 3264 x 2448 settings and have a good quality print ie vehicle wrap quality or...

Ok heres the question I have a 8 mega pixel camera the high setting is 3264X2448 pixels and the output is 11inX16in which is 176sqin so this works out to 45,399 ppi correct? so if I blow this up to a 150 dpi pic the image would be roughlly 369sqft?

Brendan, You say you use a citrus cleaner like those orange oil based cleaners I have one that I use for removing adhesive never tried to use it for install prep. thanks for the tip ill try itout on something first before I use it.

You say strip the wax I assume that a wax and grease remover from boat or auto store is what I should use just worried about the gel coat dont want to mess up a boat man those things are expensive. Then wipe it down many times with some ISO Alcohol that's what I usually do with auto's wax and...

I dont know what your cost is but I would check out the merchants section there are some really good prices for wholesale stuff and all you do is play middle man with a mark up. Good luck.

Thanks for the replies I just wanted to know if I was to low as its hard to get your local competition to quote you with out going through the whole sales and sit down thing. I have stuff to do and have gotten basic prices from some local people and I am close to some over some and under some...
