Yup. Had to match the company's Pantone color. Humidity could definitely play into it, due to the graphics being done in Utah and traveling to Orlando, FL to be laid. I was notified this morning that the decals we had laid on site here in Utah had curled and fallen off in the crate by the time...

http://us.abetlaminati.com/decori/hpl-collection-full-colour-bianco-ghiaccio-410/ for clarification on the laminate.

The substrate it's being applied to is a Abet Laminati 410 laminate applied over the top of a wood framed structure to create the hanging sign. We deal with tradeshow booths that are short-term graphic installations and haven't had a problem like this before. I almost assume my installer just...

We are using 3M 40C with Oraguard's 210 Matte to apply some decals to a laminated hanging sign for a tradeshow booth. For whatever reason, the vinyl doesn't want to stay applied and lifts. I'm looking for some suggestions on an adhesive we can use. I know that the 40C is a recommended dry...

They're not wrong!

Could be a number of things. Was it lined up all the way down? Meaning, you can take your ruler or measuring tape and there's a consistent 1/2" bleed overhanging the edge the entire length of 10' panel?

No offense, but I'm still waiting on the sample of window vinyl we discussed back in July.

I'm looking for some other alternatives, too. We use Phototex religiously, but the cost is getting intense for how often we need it. I found that Sihl came out with QuickStick recently, but can't find many reviews. Anyone have any experience using Sihl's QuickStick?

What rip software are you using?

I second the Walk 'n' Wall vinyl. Be sure to round your corners to prevent any kick-ups, too

I always thought there was something in the collet that rested in the slit of the blade for a better grip, but I guess not! Anyway, I've always been a fan of Fiskars. This is my current go-to: https://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-167110-1001-Heavy-Craft-Knife/dp/B001A42CTW but I also like the...

we've used Insightly, which is WAY too much fluff, before switching to Basecamp. We like how organized and easy to access everything is. User friendly, too!

I don't know how you'd manage to do that, but am intrigued on how it may turn out. Hope to see some pictures once it's been completed!

+1 for the 3M adhesive spray. I've used it for a lot of projects, including brick installations, and it held much longer than anticipated.

I don't, unfortunately. It was done by the company's previous graphics guy and torn down almost immediately because of the finished appearance. It's not a rocky or grungy print, just meant to look "clear" in the areas it looks dirty. They were using a 65/35 perf, if that makes a difference?

Follow-up question: Does anyone have any clue as to why the original installment looks "dirty?"

That may be a possibility.. what tint product did you use, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm going to apologize in advanced for my ignorance - I work more on the print side of things, not so much the installation and haven't had much experience with privacy windows. I'm looking for your suggestions on a great interior privacy window perf that is compatible with solvent printers...
