I have a customer looking to do some traditional cut vinyl "stripes" for the sides of her car. She wants them to be "girly" but modern. Flowers, tribal, swooshes, etc. Does anybody know a site where I can show her a bunch of options, then I can download the artwork to use? Free or Pay...

Hi all. I have a customer with an illuminated sign cabinet, that has a clear pan-face sign in it. He wants me to wrap the pan-face, but he wants the vinyl applied to the inside of the pan-face "because that's how it was". He peeled off the old vinyl. It was red die-cut oracal translucent...

One year ago, my team installed a large wall wrap in a hotel lobby, that is 6 ft. tall x 30 ft. long. We overlapped 6 sheets of high-tack vinyl 1/2". Fast forward to the present and now the vinyl has shrunk 1/8" at every seam and left adhesive exposed. The hotel manager wants the adhesive...

I have been using a Roland Versacamm VS-640 for the past 5 years. I run sheets of decals that are 54 in. wide x 40 in. long. I use crop marks. I remove the sheets after they print, laminate them, then reload them into the Versacamm to cut. Everything has been fine for years, until recently...

Which brand of Optically Clear cast laminate is the best to use on perforated window graphics? Sometimes I question if the laminates advertised as optically clear, truly are. For example, I just used Arlon 3200 on a window, and I feel drunk looking through it. Everything is "fuzzy" and I...

If I design a 5 inch x 5 inch decal that requires printing, laminate and cutting, send it to Versaworks and set my repeats to 200 with crop marks, so that I can laminate the sheet, reload and cut, odds are really good my contour cut will drift towards the end of cutting process and I will lose a...

For some reason, when I copy something in FlexiSIGN-PRO (version 10.5.1), then paste it, it drops the copied item wherever it wants to on the screen. It used to paste the item on my cursor arrow, where I could move it around, then click the mouse where I would like it to drop. This is not a...

It seems like every time a apply vinyl graphics to a "work van" (Chevy Express van, Ford E350, etc.) and the graphics go over the body lines that are indented on the sides of the vans, where the windows would be, if it had windows, the vinyl graphics lift within a week or two and there is no...

I've always used 54" wide laminate. However, the ideal width would be either 53" wide or 53.5" wide. Does anybody know if such an item exist, and if yes, where would acquire such an item? Thanks!

I am ready to try some new wrapping products. I am looking at the following materials: 3M IJ180c, Orajet 3751 RA, and Arlon DPF 6000 XRP. Do you use any of these? Do you avoid any of these? Any experiences you may have working with these products is greatly appreciated. Up to now, the only...

I have a customer who is interested in getting his pizzeria counters covered with printed vinyl, but he is concerned because while he was in my shop viewing samples he noticed that when he slid his fingernail on the prints, it left marks behind. That marks are not damaging, but they are...

I have a 9' x 12' blank vinyl banner sprawled out on my concrete floor and I have 3 printed and laminated pieces of Arlon DPF 8000 to apply to this banner. Any suggestions? Can I spray it with soap and water? Or should I avoid the soap? Ideally, I'd like to deliver this banner tomorrow.

I am a new Flexi user. I am trying to take the word BUFFALO and arch the bottom of it in a rainbow shape. I don't want the top of the letters to arch, only the bottom, so it looks like the side-view of a bridge. How do I do this? Thanks! Also, is there an easy way to add a "bleed" to an...
