  1. Old 6 Pack carton

    This is part of an old 6-pack soda carton. My wife and I were in Berkeley Springs WV last weekend for our anniversary trip. We went through a little local museum and this was in there. Of course my wife said "We're on vacation and what are you doing? Looking at signs!" Old stuff like this gets...
  2. any bicycle enthusiasts?

    So, I finally decided that I'm probably never going to ride this again and even if I do, something less complicated will probably suffice. It's a carbon fiber Cannondale Raven 2000 with a "Lefty" fork (has electronic lock-out). It was built by a friend years ago and supposedly has...
  3. Arlon DPF600X

    Our local supplier has a special on Arlon DPF600X wrap film and the corresponding cast laminate. We usually use Oracal, but the price during this promotion is extremely good. I'm thinking of trying it out. Does anybody have any experience with it?
  4. Toterhome / Trailer combo

    The customer just picked this up. I'm going to the lake for a few days, I need the rest after this thing... whew!
  5. wind load calculation

    I'm working on a project that amounts to a 4'x4' sign to be installed on 4"x4" posts with the sign face 2' from the ground (6' overall height) with no lighting. I made the mistake of contacting the powers that be. I now have twice as much time in dealing with bureaucrats as will be spent on...
  6. Yamaha jet boat

    I stayed late to install this on my buddy's 09 Yamaha AR230 tonight. Oracal 3951 & 290G lam.
  7. Satellite Truck

    This is a Satellite dish truck that we wrapped to match the Escape that we did last week for a local CBS affiliate. It's printed by our Mutoh 1614 on OraJet 3551RA and laminated with OraGuard 290G.
  8. Escape Wrap

    We wrapped this Escape last week for the local CBS affiliate. This week we're doing their satellite truck. I guess you could say that we did the design in house, but they supplied all of the elements and we just put them together on the template. The background is a still shot of an animation...
  9. recent vehicle stuff

    Fire Company F350: Everything but the gold-leaf and black is printed on Nikkalite reflective. Toyota Sienna: This was wrapped to match a box truck that we did a couple of weeks ago. The customer is rebranding his whole business. Oracal 3951RA with 290G lam.
  10. Box Truck

    Here's a box truck we wrapped last week. Then we did 25 yard signs and 2 banners to match... this week we have to remove a failing wrap from another shop and wrap his Toyota Sienna to match.
  11. Magazine ad

    A long-time friend and customer of mine is a pro-freestyle jet ski champion who now makes his own custom machines. I'm a member of a boating forum which was holding a meet at our local lake. The event was to be covered for an article in the print magazine that hosts the online forum. I arranged...
  12. Contractor Truck / Trailer combo.

    Finished this up this afternoon for a high school friend of mine. The logo is printed on Oracal 3951 & laminated with 290G. The rest is regular old cut vinyl.
  13. Recent Paint Jobs

    Chopper- I hurried to get the frame / rear fender combo & springer front end back to the builder so he could start final assembly. Now I just have to do the gas & oil tanks and some other small misc. parts. The owner wanted "gold leaf & some new-school tattoo type stuff." He liked it. The...
  14. 8x24 car wash sign

    We installed this today. Printed & laminated with Oracal on our Mutoh.
  15. Digitally Printed Awning

    I have a customer who has an existing awning. It's currently yellow with red vinyl letters. We've upgraded the look of everything he has to a custom designed digital print and now he wants to do the awning to match. Its on 3 sides of the building and is roughly 30"x130'. The framework is...
  16. Shop Truck Wrap

    Here's how we're wrapping one of my trucks. It gets personal use, too and I was more concerned about making it look cool than it being a billboard. I realize it ain't gonna pass a "squint test," I just don't really care on this one.... It looks much better with the 24" chrome wheels too.
  17. 1604 bad head?

    According to everybody I've talked to this morning, my 1604 needs a new head. I'll never buy another Mutoh, this thing has been nothing but trouble. Anybody have any suggestions about where to get this? How intense is the install? I'll do it myself if I can. Help!
  18. VJ 1604... extended warranty vs replacement

    We are close to the expiration of the warranty on our VJ1604. We recently had some major down time due to error codes and several visits from the techs. Toward the end, I asked the distributor to replace the printer, which they did with a used 1614 from their shop. It's been here for a bit...
  19. PhotoPrint 6... Just say NO!

    We got PhotoPrint 6 with our system and it was no where near ready to go. After TONS of wasted ink and vinyl, not to mention TIME, they reversed us to PhotoPrint 5 and the problems were eventually worked out, but what a hassle. Fellers & SAI were more than attentive to the problem and were great...
  20. VJ1604 Lining up to the take-up roll.

    Anybody have any tips for me on how to get the media to track better onto the take-up? Bad tracking causes lamination woes (especially with 60" media) and adjusting during the print has been a nightmare. How ya doin' it?
