I like 3M and will continue to use exclusively 3M wherever possible.

3m offering that through dealerships doesn't bother me. when the grease monkeys at the dealership screw up the guys wrap... he'll end up bringing it to me to install the second time. i'd make more money on hourly labor than i would on the vinyl if he bought it from the dealership, or, he'll soon...

im confused as to what the issue is.

if they start selling it... i will be one of the first to buy.... though i really wonder what sort of durability and lifespan it has.

thanks i'll try and duplicate the problem tonight.

i'd pinstripe the lines, lay oversized vinyl and cut on the car. (on the tape of course) then pull the edge of the tape out from under the vinyl and squeegee down the edges. this way, you'll be able to get straight stripes. if you pre-cut the stripes, the curves in the hood and roof will casue...

tell him creepy dudes letter their candy vans with spray paint all the time and send him to the hardware store.

well supposeldy, 4.0 is windows 7 safe. and it is a 32 bit system as it's supposed to be.

sweet.

Any tips on how to fix this problem? the only way i can get around it, is if i open the .ai, copy the content into a separate file and downsave to 3.0, and then open with omega. omega 4.0 fresh install, windows 7. it throws the old "we're sorry... we must close the application"

judging byt the different between a metallic vinyl and a standard cast, I'd agree with Brush1 that it'd be difficult to manipulate. i think 3M makes some options for that though.

if you buy CS and an edge 2 w/envision, you'll have a nice design program and two expensive paperweights. CS can't run the printer/plotter... you need CP for that. C=cut, P=print.

some new paints come with degreasing agents in the paint itself to make it easier to keep the car easier to clean. this obviously will inhibit adhesion. I presume the car was prepped properly with a good wax and grease remover as well as alcohol or whatever else?

In my experience, reflective doesn't clear out very well. Tell the customer It might, and if it doesn't and it bothers him, it'll have to be re-done. I presume they were warned in advance about the gassing possibility, and if so, it rides on their shoulders. Redo the job at a discounted rate...

if you are printing a linked picture for example of higher resolution, if you send the job and then start it right away while the image is still "sending", the printer will do that at the end of that pass untill the next color pass is sent over, where-as if you wait untill the all the color...

or laminate the acrylic, then apply the print

I photoshopped this on quick.

if you want a scan of genuine CF, i can get one this weekend i have plenty of it laying around. :)

you can photoshop that pretty easy. just look at some pictures and make a pattern that you can step and repeat. or use real CF. :)

i think he means more vivid, or opaque, which 2 pass will do.
