  1. Maybe of Interest...

    That's a great deal, thanks. Now do I put it on my personal computer at home or replace Draw 2019 on my work computer where I'll use it more...
  2. Kala Mistral help.

    Think I got it working, so no need for pictures. Didn't have time to run something through it, but rollers are level and everything seems to work.
  3. Kala Mistral help.

    Don't be like me. I must have turned on auto and walked away on a Friday, came in the following Monday to the alarm blaring and about 30' of film rolled back onto the rollers before it busted both the trapezoidal nuts on the stepper motor shafts. I got new nuts in ($98 each, not as bad as I...
  4. Kala mistral 1650 heat settings

    The guy that trained us on our Mistral said we don't need to use more than two pressure for almost all laminate.
  5. Rant Has windows defender ever caught a VIRUS?

    Yup. With them trying to shove Copilot down everyone's throats and this new Recall BS I've been looking into Linux distros for my home PC. I haven't used anything since Defender for several years now. It's caught a couple trojans from some old torrents that I had on an older storage drive...
  6. 3m controltac choices

    We did a small fleet (8) of Wranglers in IJ175 that was only on there for 8-9 months. Our installers loved working with it, it was cheap, and came off really easily after that short of a time. If it's a short term project I'd recommend it, but we haven't had to remove it after it's been on...
  7. Suggestions Smoothest Gloss Overlaminates

    Arlon 3220 has one of the smoothest finishes I've seen on a cast lam, but never actually wrapped anything with it, just company logos.
  8. Pricing out a large window perf job

    What kind of square footage? Do you need to set up scaffolding? Rent a lift? Are the windows small enough for one piece or are they tiled and need to be aligned?
  9. Help choosing a second printer

    What does your dryer setup look like? We've only ever had HP Latex so haven't had to deal with extra drying, but our 360 is getting about seven years old so we're looking at replacements.
  10. Need Help Is there a pricing website that can guide me?

    I agree with Canuck and Boudica, somewhere around 4k. Unless it's going on a brick or cinderblock wall, then I'd up it for the extra time it takes to heat roll every square inch of those damn things. That and the 3M TSA-4 roller is another $500+ if you don't have one yet.
  11. Discussion I've owned an HP R1000 since April 2019, ask me anything

    In the site prep guide for this machine it says the minimum ceiling height is 9'8.5", why?
  12. Customer wet applied wrap material

    We just had a customer order some prints for their vans (rockers, logos, and a hood), then a few days after pickup they call and ask how to install it...and how much water should they use. Should have realized something was up when they didn't know the difference between a bitmap or vector logo.
  13. Your Physical Health

    Just don't get pulled over with that much cash in many states in the US. All the cop has to say is that they thought it was going to be used to buy drugs and they can take it.
  14. Wrap material suggestion for color change

    I've used Avery, 3M, KPMF, Oracal, Vvivid, and probably a couple others. I think Avery is the easiest to work with, 3M is a close second.
  15. New 3M high gloss 2080 vinyls

    Anybody tried this yet? I'd love it to be glossier, but I haven't had enough people complain about regular 2080 not being glossy enough to justify a 45% increase.
  16. Not sure what is causing this.................................................................. ??

    Is it 2080 with the new protective layer that's meant to be peeled off after install?
  17. Wrap motorcycle tank

    I say leave the fuel in.
  18. Banner tape

    Orafol Orabond 1397PP is really good stuff. Fellers carries it, but they charge literally double what my local supplier does.
  19. Customer wanting to use trademarked logo on their signage

    We are actually part of a large automotive group (and directly under a GMC dealership) so I've had many years experience with this. The dealership should have access to gmassetcentral.com which will have current logos, stock photos of cars, marketing materials, etc. There's probably also a...
  20. Premasked striping woes

    I would have removed the mirrors, pre-masked the flat areas (doors, hood, fenders), but would have cut the stripe and pinstripes for the corner piece separate. Apply the stripe to the rest of the vehicle, lay down the main stripe on the corner piece, cut some spacing stipes the size of the gap...
