  1. How do you pack extra large decals?

    The problem with us is rolling that tight cause the vinyl to release from the backer, not the transfer tape. We’ve had customers that unroll it and install and can clearly see “lines” in the adhesive where there was just too much stress from being rolled too tightly. I rolled up a set of...

  3. Ghost Reflective - Dark Gray Truck

    I’ve got some black reflective and it’s not like black vinyl. I’d say it’s a dark gray and might be what you are looking for.

  4. How do you pack extra large decals?

    We do quite a bit that is 120" or longer. If premasked the minimum size roll I'd ship something that large in would be the boxes the vinyl is shipped to me in (roughly 7" interior dimension). Even that is iffy. If you can ship in 10" or larger that would be optimal. Roll them decal side out. I...

  5. Multi Location Vehicle Graphics - better way to manage

    Sounds interesting but I’m having a hard time following what exactly is happening and what the need for so many locations. Can you elaborate?

    Interesting sign client bought from etsy

    It would be way more trouble than it is worth to delete and open new accounts. It’s more than likely they just guessed at who they bought it from and weren’t correct.

  7. Finding jobs with new UV Printer

    Something I learned along the way was that if you make smaller items that other smaller printers can do, you’ll be competing with the little guys that can afford the small printers. Just like making small decals with a huge cutter, you are trying to compete with all the stay at home moms with a...

  8. Pricing 420sq/ft of Vinyl Lettering

    For stuff like this I always multiply my material cost by my custom coefficient then add in my very conservative estimated cost per hour or per day. Your equipment will play a big role in completion time but in my shop I’d be ballparking around $3500 for that job.

    Our first one was down roughly 50% of the time. Once for about 8 weeks but most of the time I was down for a week each. At the 11 month mark I had done enough research to realize I had a lemon. White ink leaking globs onto prints, white ink leaking into maintenance cartridge and onto other color...

    I can try. It’s been close to a year since I have the printer back to HP. If there was a way you could do a virtual meeting where you can share your screen I might be able to guide you through it. Since I deleted the printer from my computer I don’t know that I would be able to see what I...

  11. PPF Film ?

    If you’ve already done the ceramic coating you are probably out of luck. PPF literally cannot stick to the Ceramic Coating. One of the properties of a high quality Ceramic Coating is its ability to make the surface of your vehicle very slick. The liquid polymer in ceramic bonds with your...

  12. ONYX RipQueue - is it possible to print to PDF with graphtec cut marks?

    This. If you know the margins and settings for the reg marks you can draw them.

  13. Car Flags

    What flags are you talking about?

  14. Lost color swatch with last update

    I had my color swatch just right with all of our custom colors. When flexi updated it reverted back to the default even though I though I had selected to keep the existing swatch. Does anyone know if there is a simple solution to getting my custom swatch table back? Thanks in advance

  15. 3d printing letters

    3d printing is slow. Printing anything substantial would take days. Also, just think of it as a cnc controlled hot glue gun. The ABS or PLA has higher melting points but out in the sun it will soften enough that it warps. I make injection molded emblems and use a 3d printer to prototype. I once...

  17. Upgrade from 335 to 700w?

    Yeah, when the printer worked it did well. After about 6 months I had built up a good bit of work but had to cancel a lot of them due to downtime. I’d say I lost over $20k in jobs over 14 months. I certainly was hyped up about the 700w initially but it didn’t take too much time to see that so...

  18. Upgrade from 335 to 700w?

    Well, our first 700w worked for a couple months until all of the ink lines leaked everywhere inside the printer. We were down for about 4 weeks. After that it was monthly, each time down for 1-2 weeks. At the 11 month mark I asked for a refund or a new printer and got a new one. It arrived new...

  19. Looking for Stock art

    We have an adobe creative cloud subscription and use the adobe stock. We get free credits each month and they roll over if you don’t use them. Vectors, high resolution photos, etc. Haven’t really needed to look elsewhere for much.

  20. 700W owners: White alignment problems?

    Yeah, most of the time it felt like I owned a $22k massive paper weight.

    Found it on brandsoftheworld. Just have to delete what you don’t need but that looks right.
