  4. Applying Vinyl on Vinyl

    Hey guys. Reporting back as promised. We went ahead and applied app tape to the bottom layer of printed (and lammed) vinyl then applied removable printed on top. Top layer needed for three days, then stripped off, it worked perfectly. Top layer was great, bottom layer NOT damaged or...
  5. Start a new business Yes or No

    Im afraid Gino is completely spot on with what he has said. How can you start a business from scratch in signs/ graphics etc if you have no knowledge at all of the industry. How will you deal with an enquiry that needs at least some experience so you can advise the customer what is the best...
  6. Applying Vinyl on Vinyl

    Hey Guys We did a couple more tests. I know what you mean with being careful applying on top of app tape, but it seems it sticks really well. Better than permanent adhesive too. Will probably go for a low tack app tape too. They won't be able to apply themselves as this is a huge paint pot...
  7. Applying Vinyl on Vinyl

    Thanks for your reply Gino. Yes that is what we have been doing so far when needed. This one is different as it will be finishing a promo on a sunday and doing a diff promo at the same store the following monday morning. As the first is only a three day promo we are going to put application...

    Hey Guys. We have a promotional vehicle for a customer were we wrap a large dibond clad box on a weekly basis with new graphics each time using Mactac removable. So each week we strip and apply a new graphic, easy stuff. Now though they would like us apply two promo versions on top of each...
  9. Polished Stainless Refurbishment

    Hi All We have been handed a set of polished stainless steel letters from a client who had used them on a former shop. They moved the business, and now want to use them on the new store, but a few of the letters have a few light scratches. They have asked if we can clean them up. Looking for...

  11. Best banner material for welding

    Hi guys We have a couple of biggish banner jobs and have found in the past the cheaper 13oz material does not weld joins too well. The banners are for short term indoor use, stapled to a lumber frame (no hems or eyelets needed). Can anyone recommend a suitable material that will weld well...
  12. Color Variations on JV33

    Bret If I flip the panels in the RIP then two are foot to foot, but the other 2 panels are head to head so getting a better result from the foot to foot panels, but not the other two. I have never seen this before and is annoying. To be honest the two pics I uploaded are really bad examples...
  13. Color Variations on JV33

  14. Color Variations on JV33

    Thanks for the advice on that, We use Rasterlink 3 not sure if it has the option, will try it and see if it works when back in tomorrow. Never seen it before, thought it might be and ink distribution problem.
  15. Color Variations on JV33

    Hi guys. Wonder if anyone can advise whst is causing color variations in panelled print? Basically we are printing a solid color over a 15 ft width, which of course we are tiling. The problem is the panels are printing slightly different but enough to notuce. Same file, profile, inks. I...
  16. Update on signVOX, shopVOX - Finally

    2130 views and 48 opinions so far, not a reply to his own announcement, pretty bad :omg:. Does Kevin not usually chime in to back up the company? Good luck to those that use it and are not happy, hope the issues get sorted for you.
  17. Update on signVOX, shopVOX - Finally

    I'm so glad I went with my gut instinct on the month I used Signvox, to NOT carry on using it. I found it clunky as heck, taking forever to do a simple quote, online support not great really and all the concerns you say here Techman. We still use Estimate 2, if I decided to move on, i can...
  18. Sign quoting / Job Tracking software solutions

    I would also go for Estimate if simplicity and cost is key for you. We have been using it for about 8 years, and like mentioned above they seem to have stopped developing. We did get a replacement license recently as we upgraded a pc, but if you look there have been no blog or FB posts in a...
  19. Grand Format PVC materials Recommendation

    Hi Guys We have a 20ft x 20ft banner pvc graphic to do. Previous material didn't have any give at all and was a pain to stretch over lumber frame. Any of you guys have a media recommendation that might have a little more stretch to do this type of application? Its for an outdoor purpose...
  20. Dust is our biggest enemy

    Hi all, Dust, its a pain in the a**. We have a small but nice workshop, all open plan, no special room for the printer, or applying vinyl. Im sure its one of the biggest bug bears in our industry, so just wondering how you all out there tackle this potentially job wrecking little beast? We...
