  1. Firetrucks and Ambulance Graphics...

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

    Is there any kind of paint we could put on it at our shop that would alleviate him having to take it to a body shop?
  3. Wrapping bad surfaces....

    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...
  4. buying artwork

    $300 is a "steal" I second that from Bigdawg...our identity was created by a really good set of designers and it costs money. You might consider having somebody locally do a new logo for you (college kids can be a great source for young, hip designers eager to do some work on the cheap to...
  5. Welders - who uses them?

    I too use hem tape most of the time and have Feller's sew when appropriate...here's the kicker - as of December 31, 2010 (15 days from now), Feller's is beginning to phase out sewing in all of there warehouses, starting with the Kansas City location just down the road from me! What is a good...
  6. Seriously Arlon? Anyone using this stuff please look

    I'm still pretty wet behind the ears, so not sure my opinion counts for much, but use Arlon 6000 XRP almost exclusively for wraps and have had no issues.
  7. PinUp Art...

    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...
  8. Anti-Graffiti Films

    Is it cast? Is there a cast anti-graffiti laminate suitable for most vehicle wraps?
  9. Upgrading RIP Computer...

    Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
  10. Upgrading RIP Computer...

    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...
  11. Contour Cut Effect Sensitivity...

    Good Idea Visual...I did, however, find another solution. The Opacity was 10% in Photoshop. I increased it to 100% and opened it in Flexi. It put the contour cut path around it and then I used the Transparent lens effect in Flexi to bring the Opacity back down to 10%. Ripping it now, we'll...
  12. Contour Cut Effect Sensitivity...

    Bob - FYI - For some reason when I have a 16 bit .psd file, I can't contour cut it, only 8 bit.
  13. Contour Cut Effect Sensitivity...

    In this case, yes, I am applying to a white substrate (a white van in this case).
  14. Contour Cut Effect Sensitivity...

    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...
  15. When you don't need a 150 ft roll...

    Fellers can't do anything for me...they're getting worse about stuff like that.
  16. When you don't need a 150 ft roll...

    I gotta have 60" width...that's the rub...i can get short rolls of the 54" all day long, but when I step up to the 60", that's where I run into trouble trying to get anything less than 150'.
  17. When you don't need a 150 ft roll...

    Thanks for looking into it Bobby...any other takers?
  18. When you don't need a 150 ft roll...

    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...
  19. Outgassing consequence myth??? or true???

    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...
  20. Pop up panel frames??? I think?

    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...
