  2. Kia Soul ABS Plastic

    Especially if the plastic is textured we just plain avoid application to most plastics. If clients push- we'll note no warranty on such surfaces. Keep in mind that some adhesive promoters may blemish plastics.
  3. pickiest customer on the face of the earth

    If the print has a gloss laminate, use a torch or heat gun to glaze them out. if matte lame, use the same technique but don't heat too much or it will turn to gloss
  4. Wrap material

    Get a sample roll of the new 3M IJ480 film. They claim it is more stable at higher ambient air temps.
  5. Installer in NW PA area?

    I'd suggest Endagraph or CGS. Both may be found on the UASG site. Both do great work.
  6. Anyone using Sign-Tracker??

    we use it and it beats the pants off our old clipboard chart. being cloud based is nice when on the road w my iPad. I agree that getting your team to keep it updated religiously is key
  7. Unrolling backing from laminator

    Anyone found ways to recycle the plastic liner? we toss tons of it- I'd rather recycle
  8. Laminate separating from vinyl?

    I have both. In addition to prev posts: less head strikes on 60" films due to the new tensioning bar, prints perf more reliably, lower temp is more friendly with some media that would sorta melt in the 25500. Thats what we noticed so far. The 25 is still a great machine and don't miss my...
  12. Retailers Ready To Force Consumers To Pay ‘Swipe Fee’ For Using Plastic

    Be careful with cc "surcharges" as it violates all major card merchant agreements in almost every state. I consider that discount to be the cost paid for good cash flow and less bad debts written off each year.
  13. How would YOU wrap this?

    I have 3 Fords and I think that wrap will protect the valuable factory paint for a net dollar gain at resale. (free wrap)

    Trim the film away from the silicone. Vinyl will not stick well to sealants or flexible body adhesives.

    Taryn works for Southbeach, a reseller. He is NOT Artstation
  16. Wrap Template Sales People

    Same experience here. Asked that Taryn pest to take us off the list. That guy should move to NYC and start selling fake watches. That would be more in line with his selling, I mean assaulting style. The folks at Art Station are great and have the best templates we've found. This guy is wrecking...
  17. Rivets suggestion

    We'll need to try that. more or less tension? Thanks!
  19. L25500 Head Strikes on 60"

    When we print on 60" 3MIJ180Cv3 we get a few inches of head strikes EVERY time near the middle of the pass. 54" prints perfect all day. Anyone got a fix for this?
