Is there something different about the paint on the Toyota FJ Cruiser top?? I've recently removed a one year old wrap I did and the top was incredibly difficult to remove. A ton of residue was left over and it seemed to be a lot more aggressive on the top than the other surfaces. I'm now...

This is a question I've searched for (maybe not hard enough) and have come up empty. I'm cutting out 1" x 48" strips (cutting through) and I need the cutter to start cutting at the bottom of the strip first. When it cuts starting with the top of the strip, and then backs up that material to...

Does anybody see a distinct advantage to alumacorr over polymetal for an outdoor sign panel being mounted directly to a building? See my attached pictures, I did the midway ford sign out of polymetal and the baseball sign out of alumacorr. Wondering if there is significant different in...

I seem to get a rip error when my files are larger than 100 MB. I have two files, one for the back of a box truck and one for the sides of a box truck. The back file is obviously smaller and rips fine. The sides I've been able to get down to approx 165 MB and I still get a rip error. I use...

We are doing a sign to replace this one for a client. He says it has been up for 3 or 4 years. It is determinately printed on adhesive backed vinyl and laminated with a matte lamination. I don't know specs, but I do know it gets a lot of sun exposure. They want us to see if we can redo...

I know this is a silly question, but what would be the best way to match the hue of Pantone Gold 872? I'm using Flexi 8.6 and a double sided super smooth PET banner material. Any suggestions?

Anybody have any ideas on this one. Extensively searched for Nordic style fonts or Scandinavian fonts with no luck... Thanks, Ben

Is there an industry standard for graphics used on Fire trucks, ambulances, etc.? Anyone have any guidelines for this type of work? Thanks, Ben

Got this box truck to wrap and not sure how to handle the back. My gut says that if he can't get it fixed up more than that, to wrap it but explain why we can't guarantee it like we normally would. It is very smooth, but where there is no paint concerns me and the bigger bolts are awfully...

This may be totally against the rules, but hoping something like this might have made it into public domain. I'm looking for this art in a hi-res version that I can print fairly large (3'x5'). Anybody know where I might find it? Again, my apologies if this is against regulations...

I'm upgrading my RIP computer and I want to move flexi over. I have a bunch of jobs queued up in Production Manager that I may have to reprint soon and I want to keep them in there so if I have to reprint, they're already ripped and ready to go. Is there a way to archive or save these in a way...

I have a graphic (a .psd file) that has a very light steam coming off of some food. I want to contour cut it for placement on a vehicle, and Flexi doesn't seem to want to cut around the steam, like it is too light and doesn't even sense it is there. Is there a way to make the contour cut...

Where does one go to get media when one doesn't need 150 feet of it? I have done very, very few (1 really) backlit signs on translucent vinyl. I was able to get a short roll of 54" media for it and it worked out great. I now, however, need to print 60" x 10 feet twice and I don't want to buy...

I heard it from a printer tech that if a print is not allowed to outgas a full 24 hours before lam and install onto the vehicle, that it can outgas out the back of the print and leave the image on the vehicle when removed. Is this true? Anybody had such a thing happen? I ruined a print and...

Hey Everybody - Got a client that has a pop-up panel roughly 2.5 feet wide by 8 feet tall. Nomadic made it I think and it has magnetic strips running the vertical length and some kind of plastic framing hook thingamajig across the top and bottom. Any ideas where to get these? I've posted...

I am in a rush and I'm wondering if this is safe to do or not. I've heard all the stories about outgassing and that the worst case scenario is that the print will burn into the paint job if it doesn't outgas properly before lamination. The entire vehicle up to this point has been printed and...

Thanks in advance...search everywhere and can't find it...thought I recognized it, but I guess I don't. Thanks again, Ben P.S. Ooops on the upside down...lol...

Hey Everybody... Been doing some designs in Illustrator and when I send them to Flexi Production Manager to print, the colors are extremely off in the preview layout pane. Thought maybe it was production manager's preview and sent a small version to print, but the printed colors are off by...

I never do any cut vinyl. I don't stock anything. Have a customer who wants 4 cut vinyl numbers (not even 3 feet worth of vinyl). I have scraps of Oracal 3164 printable vinyl. The customer wants his numbers in white. Anybody see an issue with using that instead of buying 10 yards of...

I've posted on here about this sort of product before with very little response. Now that I've had a little experience with it, I wanted to know if anybody else might be using it. I abandoned it because we got some really bad adhesive that was marketed as removable and our sales rep told us...
