  1. Will decals stick to vinyl mesh?

    What if you did a decal layout that size, 8x4? Make it a print file. Then print your design on a mesh banner with a sewn hem and plenty of grommets in the right places. Hope this helps.
  2. How much for a boat wrap?

    It depends. How much is your time worth. I have to do so much a day, or why work for myself. $100 an hour, then there's market minimums on these. Garage guys are notorious for upsetting the market, pricing way to low. There has to be a minimum on some things, especially time consuming projects...
  3. Printing Perforated Vinyl on an HP 360 - long dry looking streaks in final print?

    We have had this problem in the past, and switched to a new perf vinyl, and the problem disappeared, until recently. This only happens when we print dark colors, especially black on perforated vinyl. It does not happen on any other type of vinyl. When printing while drying it looks like...
  4. What Plotter would you recommend?

    We have the 64" Graphtec, forgot the model number. It's a solid machine. Most problems are lack of experience in the operator. Great machine.
  5. Suggestions Looking for Stone Work for Pole

    Peachtree Foamcraft. Not sure their web address.
  6. Food Trailer Wrap Question

    We try and educate our clients on the difference in quality between vector and raster based files. At first hint that the client wants pictures on their wrap, we have a rather lengthy conversation about picture size and minimum resolution before we even consider designing. For someone to...
  7. Looking for reliable wholesale banner printing service

    Royal Printing, Denver Colorado. They'll ship/drop ship most anywhere. Email for price, if it works send your files and your done. They sew their hems. Oversize banners, pole banners, toast box covers, cloth banners. We sub most oversize or quantity projects with them.
  8. Onyx 12.2 - applying image bleed and overlap, what is the correct order of procedure?

    Everyone has really been super helpful and I get it. Just needed some direction. It helps me understand why our old designer/production assistant preferred to build it in. It's a must if you want and need seperate the panels. Today we ran a box truck without selecting "run as seperate jobs...
  9. Onyx 12.2 - applying image bleed and overlap, what is the correct order of procedure?

    Thing is when I set the bleed, and then the overlap, it is adding the bleed to the overlap areas also. This is in Onyx, as we are not familiar with Flexi. When we set the bleed and overlap, and do not select the "submit tiles as separate jobs" button, everything panels correctly. However...
  10. Onyx 12.2 - applying image bleed and overlap, what is the correct order of procedure?

    When discussing with our production assistant, why we always set up bleed in Illustrator, or Corel, rather than using Onyx to do this. It seems that when tiling a wall in onyx 12.2, we go into job editor, make sure the image is to size, then go to tiling setup, enable tiling, enable overlap...
  11. 3' x 8' full-color full-bleed digitally printed 13oz banner price?

    Banners - Ugh! Kinkos and Staples do these for $1.50 sqft in our area with your artwork. We prefer to do these only for our existing client base as needed at $5 a square foot, with a basic layout of a design. If they have intricate design, they can supply it themselves, or we charge $95 per...
  12. How should I fabricate this?

    How about a push thru lighted box. 3" deep aluminum box, with a custom face shape attached over the face, then routed and fill with 1/2" acrylic pushing through, with LED lighting inside the cabinet. The face plate over the box can be a shadow of the wording, dashes and plane. All of the...
  13. 3m LX480MC or IJ8624 Alternatives?

    Haven't had a problem yet. Also in SoCal, it's usually warm and dry. So what brand and type did you suggest?
  14. 3m LX480MC or IJ8624 Alternatives?

    Ij180cv3/8520, we have learned over the years that ij180cv3 is a ongoing lasting cast vinyl, conforms to most anything well.
  15. Party time

    It was a great weekend. Install Calendar is full, all is printed and prepped, and best of all the bass were biting!
  16. Car Rental Logo

    I hope your customer likes it and you get paid for all the hours you have invested. We prefer to have our customers provide their logo. Most only have .png or .jpgs. When that happens we offer to convert their logo to a vector for $49 - $95 depending on the complicity of the logo. We then...
  17. Subbing out Translucent Digital Prints for re-face in Florida

    I would look for someone that can print you a "double strike" print on translucent white vinyl.
  18. First time printing on translucent

    Royal Printing in Denver, Co., or Sign-Mart in Santa Ana, CA. You can find both on the internet. Problem with translucent prints is the strength of the lighting behind it. On older flourescent boxes, not too much of a problem. However on a new LED retrofit, sometimes the light can blow...
  19. First time printing on translucent

    We used to do all of this with our Latex 360. Stressed everytime, don't like sleeping that way. Now we create the artwork and send the print to several wholesalers that have double strike capable printers (Vuteks). They either print direct to substrate or deliver the print, depending on who...
  20. HP 365 Streaking

    Always hang the media about 4 or 5 inches past the heater. Yeah, you feel like your being frugal, but 9 times out of ten you end up with 3 - 5 feet of waste at the end of the roll anyway. Plus it keeps head strikes down. Your picture looks like the print is rubbing the roof of the heater before...
