Thanks guys, except for Canuck. We know the technical differences but I sometime feel the calendar is more appropriate for what we do (wall graphics) even though the cast is technically more aggressive. It's a crapshoot sometime applying on painted walls, especially dark colors.

So... My understanding was the cast vinyl has stronger adhesive than calendar vinyl. But someone told me it's about the "removability". He was saying that the cast vinyls come off clean within the suggested length (~9 or 10 years). And calendar is shorter. The difference is not about the...

We printed 20' x 13' wall mural on UltraFlex Fabritac with Epson eco-sol S40. 3 tiles. It was a simple map image in white on a light brown background color. When we installed, we realized the left side of print is much darker (more cyan) than the right side and the seams between the tiles...

I believe Lexjet sells matte media. You mentioned you are looking for "non-adhesive". Do you mean paper media?

That's very impressive! Are they printed on both sides? I don't even know how to print double side perfectly...

Thanks, I had no idea..... That's pretty cool that routers can do it. Thanks!

Hi all. I have a question that might sound very basic or flat out stupid for some of you. Recently, a client showed us what they expect us to make for their future jobs, and some of them are cut out direct-print pvc. They are cut into shapes of "speech bubbles" and "thought bubbles". I...

Hi All. We have two Graphtecs, FC8600 and FC8000, and we have been using Cutting Master as long as we are in business (6 humble years). I knew there are softwares like Flexi existed but didn't even think about giving it a shot since there is a free Cutting Master and it's doing just fine. Do...

Thanks guys! I would love us some of the metal bars! that's a pretty awesome site. I am sure we will buy a few of them. We can use it as a paper weight too. Fotoba machine looks pretty sweet. I wish we can justify the purchase but not for now...

Thanks for the reply! My original post was misleading. My apology. We do have the javelin and is a good equipment but we can't quite master cutting long prints with with. The sales person told me that it can cut a long banner well by cutting it little by little. We tried it but it's too...

I am not too familiar with slitters. I have only seen one at our supplier. Are they good for trimming the long prints?

Hello there. I want to pick your brain for something seemingly easy but hard (for us). We often cut long strips of SAV prints, like 20' long. We used to use just straight up safety ruler and a knife, but we made mistakes more often than we should, and started looking for an alternative. We...

MacTac makes bubble free films. It's called B-Free (duh). Though it's not as easy as advertised to be, it did go sort of bubble free on a glass.

We have an Epson S40 64" and print solely wall graphics (mactac, Avery etc). The prints are dry to touch right away and it doesn't get scratched nor smeared. We outgas it for overnight before laminate though. It's a great machine.

Hi rydods and Dennis. Thanks for your feedback. I was inclined toward Avery (twi) since there will be one closer to home but I will definitely look into more on Lowen. It looks like a good program. Thanks! FP

I am planning to take wrap classes to advance my career. A little research reveals there are numerous training classes all over the country; The Wrap Institute (Avery) Geek Wrap (3M) Orafol Wrapping Academy Does anyone have first hand experience with any of the classes? Recommend one over...

Thanks everyone! Pop-up tent is a fun idea but it might not be ideal. We have a bay and we might be able to do it outside when push comes shove. I never thought about renting a space. That's a good idea. Thanks! FP

Just a newbie curiosity. Do all of you guys who does vehicle wraps have indoor spaces? Like garages? We are in Brooklyn NY and the spaces are very limited and expensive. Have never came across with local vendors who do wraps. Do all of you have big indoor space to do wraps? Or you can...

hi all! We need to make signs to stick on ice creams directly and requested to find food safe plastic(??) for laser cutting. I do not know if such things exist, nor a vendor who laser cuts them. Do any of you have an experience working with food safe materials? Thanks Signs101!
