Sounds like a special level of hell...they are super useful for signs but those tables should have a bottom roller mounted on one end for r2r...

I would be hesitant to put a huge square footage of vinyl from any brand I didnt know on a bunch of trailers going down the road...if it fails no vinyl warranty will pay to strip and reapply, its a gamble... If you are in business long term and they want to rebrand the trailers you have to think...

Depends how important...even with wet edge squeegees I find you can still put fine scratches or whorl lines in high gloss lam if you are pressing hard enough to install properly or going fast... If its a lustre finish lam anyway I wouldnt mask but with high gloss lams I like mask as you can be...

Ya I think we get you are buying the blanks not cutting them but it amounts to the same problem. I think what everyone is getting at is, you may not be setup to cut the blanks but if you want to do this at scale you will have to print or be able to cut some sort of template or jig to accurately...

It doesnt seem like they can even keep a speed advisory sign board powered by solar around here and it isnt even lit most of the time... when I go past in the morning it is usually not working...not sure how much power the speed reading function takes or what size battery they leave for it but...

I had a problem with some missing toolbox items like the Dimension tool that I remedied by changing to another workspace...it had changed to the touch workspace or something so changing it to the Illustration or Page layout Workspace brought the missing items back...I had to build out the new...

Before you ask for head replacement (which it could be but that is something a tech would have to tell you) -During manual cleaning mode - take a syringe and fill your capping stations with cleaner fluid and see how long it takes them to drain -If the cyan is slower to drain you likely have a...

Hmmm, ya I guess you are either going to have to build a multi-layered vinyl sandwich of something like ij180 then black 2080 vinyl, then ij180 with textured print... or get out the big cheque book for a bulk order of custom vinyl... I just didnt really think 3M did smaller custom runs of vinyl...

You should use IJ180 with the thicker 8509 laminate meant for IJ40C...we can apply laptop sized decals or bigger lammed in 8509 with no premask...only problem is 8509 is only luster finish and they discontinued the gloss version but there are other thick lams...try a thick laminate before you...

IJ40 and IJ180 are totally different calendered/cast vinyls but essentially have the same adhesive properties already with air release and slideability...formulating vinyl is 3Ms business, you are talking about funding/formulating an entirely new product line at a multi-national company...I...

Had a problem with our cling sticking to my VG2 540 side media clamps and not letting it advance and causing it to bunch up and accordion behind the media clamps until it head struck... I technically hadnt cleaned them with alcohol for a while (which might have helped) but it had been fine on...

Some 3M adhesion promoter would help but I doubt there is any way to wrap that completely...those hard inside corners will peel back up... You could pre wrap the indents with smaller section of vinyl with as few seams as possible and then wrap the entire outside in one and trim away the indent...

I would go 3M 180/8518 all day but you will still need to use adhesion primer and slit those deep Sprinter channels.

You print on white media and laminate the front of it with a clear two sided adhesive film to apply interior, works great.

I do layouts at 10% size then size up to 100% for final print slug prep and export... Small stuff I send at 300dpi, large format stuff at 150 if possible but even 75+ is ok if you add some pixels and view from a distance to take in the whole pic...rather than blur I re-rasterize low res pic at...

Have had several Rolands over years...the newer ones I have print beautiful and cut just fine... I also used stand alone graphtec cutters for years and have never noticed the huge leap in cutting quality some talk about from a stand alone cutter compared to the roland. Unless you need to print...

It might sound nice to find a dumb cheap installer but since installing is the most labor intensive part of wrapping they should be making most of that install profit not you. You make money on printing and design but you are going to have problems if you want to make the profit on install...

Dry Ice, where have you been all my life? Would defo like to see a real life demo of that...looked like he took paint off one of them but would be cool if you could control that.

Perf has problems with short lifespan, doesn't work when backlit at night or slightly dimming image because of the holes... ...but what kind of reason is "I already tinted them"??? Especially when he is prepared to block them entirely?? lol So weird...if you actually want to totally block vision...

We cut a lot of decals down into horizontal strips and then hand bomb with guillotine but I have taken normal print/lam/cut/weeded decals from the VG3 and contour cut them out of the backing with our c02 laser before... Takes a lil extra time to set it up so the job cuts down into sheets that...
