  3. Small shop using Latex 365 looking to upgrade, tell me what I should buy!

    So we mainly print 48' trailer wraps on a HP Latex 365, been doing this for six years.

    I found this video on youtube: The guys first spray on what they call a safe bio-degradable solution and the vinyl appears to just bubble up and slough off... They then come back and pressure wash the glue off. What do you think that solution is?
