  1. Police Car kits

    Our local GM dealer is quoting 7 new Caprice police cars for our local department and wanted me to quote the graphics. They are ordering black cars and want white doors. A couple of years ago, I redid the graphics on an existing car that had been wrecked, and they provided the graphics...
  2. Synergy Green Camaro vinyl color

    Hey guys, I've exhausted my color chips looking, and haven't even found anything close. Anyone know of a brand of vinyl remotely close to this color? It has a lot of metallic in it, so I'm afraid printing the color is out of the question. Attached is a google pic of the color for quick...

  4. Billboard with Aluminum trim?

    Hey guys, I've been asked to redo a face in one of these newer billboards and not having seen one up close, I'm wondering how they are installed, and anything I need to know. Such as how much bleed do I need to print, do I even need pole pockets? I'm absolutely clueless on this one. The...
  5. Maroon Aluminum Clad panel?

    Hey guys, I was just wondering if you knew of any brands (i.e. Max Metal, Compbond, Signabond, Alucobond, etc) that offers a D/F 4'x8' panel in maroon? I have several signs coming up that will have a maroon background and don't want to wrap the faces with vinyl or paint them if there is a...
  6. Bright Pink Wrapping vinyl

    Hey guys, I have a customer that is entertaining the idea of wrapping a 4 door jeep for his daughters birthday present. He doesn't really want to paint a good jeep and be hung with it a few years later when she is ready for a new vehicle, so he was asking about wrapping it. I use a lot of...

    I found some really close, but not quite. I have other things I need in this font, or I'd just tweak it and go on. Thanks
  9. Plotting from CorelDraw, long plots...

    Hey Guys, I'm using a dinosaur of a machine, Ioline Studio 8 as my plotter. Back when dad bought the machine new, we used WinPlot, then Cas-mate, and now IQ Plot. When I upgraded computers from XP to Windows 7, I was no longer able to use Casmate, so we started using IQ Plot, exporting PLT...
  10. Factory Produced Graphics... What brand?

    Hey Guys, I was wondering what brand vinyl the factory stripes are? Pic is what I'm talking about. Over the years I have put various, factory produced racing stripes on for our local dealers for Chevrolet, Ford, and Dodge, and they all appear to be made from the same brand matte black vinyl...
  11. Just upgraded from X5 to X6, trying to figure out how to export a jpg

    Hey Guys, I did a search but cannot find the thread where it gave directions on how to export a Jpg like you could in X3 and before. I don't like the window that pops up when exporting from X6. I reverted my X5 to show the old window, and want to do it again. Thanks

  14. Shortcut to creating carbon fiber look? Pic inside

    Hey guys, I'm recreating a logo that was sent to me. The original designer designed it in Photoshop, so I need a vector and he doesn't have one. The attached picture is one of the letters with the desired effect. How do I go about recreating the fill so I can edit it, for example this one is...

    Hey guys, I have had this problem in the past, don't remember the fix, and tried a search with no avail. All of the sudden, my contour corners are chopped off instead of squared off, liked I've gone in a used the chamfer tool or something. I think to get around it in the past, I have filleted...
  16. Another "What Vinyl to Use" thread

    Hey guys, please don't go bashing me just yet. I DID do a search, but just wasn't finding any up-to-date information that I was looking for. I have been printing motocross graphics on the side for a few years now and was just wondering what everyone else is using for the vinyl. I have been...
  17. New Head, now problems with print alignment (SP-300V)

    Well, yesterday we had a service tech come replace our black print head. No complaints, it needed to be done and we have ran a lot of material through this machine and have been very happy with it. Anyway, I go to start printing and I notice a fine magenta and cyan line against the print...
  18. Trouble printing from X5 using a previous file made in X3 (color)

    Hey Guys, I think I have more of an issue printing from X5 than an X3 to X5 issue. I am currently printing on a SP-300V using Versaworks and have always had trouble printing rich black. In X3, I would use RGB 0 0 0, convert to an RGB bitmap and it would print rich black. In X5, I can't seem...

    Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone had found a color of vinyl that was close to Chevrolet Hugger Orange. I'm replacing some stripes on a 30th anniversary Camaro that was in an accident. I typically use Oracal products, but did not find any colors close. I didn't even find a PMS color that...
