Had a customer come in and we talked about providing new ACM signs for his church. He showed me images of a few that have obviously been out in the elements for awhile, (he says only a year) and the laminate is shrinking and vinyl pulling away from the edges. We didn't do the original signs but...

I had a law enforcement officer call in today. He has a Ford F-150 aluminum body truck. Does off duty "POLICE" work in his personal vechicle and wants "removable and reusable" non-magnetic graphics option. I have tried iDot a few times for a couple of my customers but they did not like the...

Had a customer come in today and he indicated that he had purchased this material on Amazon and wants us to install it. I have never heard of it, don't know anything about it and I am wondering what type of product it is. Looked it up on Amazon, saw some reviews and videos. It looks like it...

We are preparing to do a cinder block wall installation with customer supplied graphics. It is in a high school and the wall has an anti-graffiti coating on it. I have been told by a supplier that a primer is required for best results but they could not supply me with a product name. Do any of...

I had a customer walk into my shop last week asking about a digital print vinyl that can withstand being applied to a powder coated surface, then have a clear powder coat layer baked on top of it without melting, temps of 400+ degrees. He insisted that he has been told that this product exists...

I am just appalled (pissed off beyond belief!!!) at the lack of support from Summa. I have a Summa S2 T140. I do a lot of stickers and have always cut them apart by hand on the production table after doing kiss cut function through Winplot. Well after watching a few YouTube videos of other...

We installed Oracal 951 vinyl lettering on an RV in Nov. 2019 and recently received a request for an explanation for lifespan, and pictures from one of our long time customers. I have been in this business 10 years now and I have never seen this happen with a cast vinyl. Anyone have any idea...
