order 4x8 sheet and have them cut the whole sheet what ever shapes you need and you will have a few on the shelf for future runs
we used a 3rd party ink in our rolands years ago and had some capping station issues so we swore we would never do it again not worth the risk. we recently (about 4-6 months ago) started using nazdar's ink in our roland xc with no issues. we had a few reasons we chose to take the risk with...
definitely go with sublimation so you can get the curve of your arm and if all else fails just carve it in with your xacto knife and pour your waste ink over it then wipe and wa-la
this is probably how it was done but we also do a two way decal for a security company that we need to use a special adhesive per the customer request so we print 2 sided on a .007 white material and mount the adhesive separately with our laminator
we don't have a grizzly but we do have 6 metal shears we use and they cut aluminum, alum composite, coro and sintra with no problem (actually sometimes the sintra is an issue. apparently it has a grain to it so sometimes it cuts one direction fine but when you cut the other direction it will...
i have always found issues printing solid colors on static cling whether it was with my edge or solvent printers.
for the edge putting the masking tape could help. you could also try wiping down the material as it goes through

try stouse or find a silk screener in your area to make them for you. stouse probably doesn't make small qty's but the silk screener depending on how busy they are will do it.
i just use the black in illustrator then the clear vinyl profile in versa works (which will put you at high quality print) that is usually fine. once you are at high quality and then up the ink density it's just too much ink. if you do feel you need a double pass on the print i would use the...
this is the problem. the chrome or mirror products don't harm the lamp. the reflection of the light off the chrome material has the potential of causing the in to dry in the print head.
i have done short runs on chrome or mirrored vinyl with no problem (2-3 ft x 24in). print brushed silver with no problem and have printed on a sparkle metallic as well.
try not to make a habit of it. also make sure you do cleanings afterwords.
Another thing is if the $600 a month might be tight for you what about other expenses? Not trying to turn you off but after you get the printer you need to buy a laminator, materials and inks. Like already mentioned probably better off subbing out till you get a higher demand to cover your costs
try Yazoo mills.
not sure if they have your size stock or if it is custom also not sure of the quantities they sell but they make and sell tubes/cores
