And I plan to stay with CM4 as long as possible, but when Adobe discontinues AI22, then CM4 won't be supported. Thanks!

Have you had any luck in figuring this out? It's driving me nuts having to close down CM5 every time I need to go back to Illustrator. In CM4 they had a mini dialog box that only needed to open once, then a secondary window when cutting. Just seems to add in extra time when I have to close CM5...

Hi everyone - So I recently purchased a UCJV 300-160, and it seems to be a nice machine, but I'm doing a few things that are out of the ordinary. I've been printing vehicle decals, (not full rap type things, more specific area decals for Jeeps, etc.) Especially focusing on gloss on matte black...

That's a good point. Laminating any print has been a concern of mine for any of the vehicle decals I would do (gloss accent or otherwise). I definitely don't want to sell anything that in a year or so people start coming back with problems.

That video is a big help, thank you! That's good to know about the durability tests there as well.

Sure- you can see it a little bit down on their "black on black" section https://adventurelifedecals.com/ And I definitely don't want to come off as if I'm trying to steal anything from them at anything like that. I just want to stay competitive in the market with my existing designs.

Thank you! I've been doing it this way for 3 years, and just saw someone who basically is doing the same thing and the gloss is definitely printed. (There was a closeup video of the printer working). I'm pretty sure they won't want to share their secrets with me

Thank you for the tips... That's what I'm worried about. I'll add new house with bigger basement to the shopping list ;) And is the "lesser machine" like $15k ish, and the more expensive upwards of $30k? Just trying to wrap my head around things.

Thanks, that's a great summary. I'll start there! Thank you!

I'm looking to print these styles of decals instead of cutting and layering. Hoping to speed up my process with less weeding, and also making the installation easier for customers basically. I don't necessarily need to go to a larger machine, but it looks like most of the printers are all...

Hi there- I'm looking to find a better way to make some decals with a gloss design on top of matte black and a color boarder. I've been layering to this point, but want to step up my game. I've been designing and selling decals over the last 3 years. Started out as a side hustle (while a full...

I think that was just sheen from the matte vinyl combined with a bad picture :p Thanks for the thoughts everyone!

Thanks for your response! Unfortunately I sent the decals to the customer and they sent it to get installed, so I'm not sure who the installer was. My customer said that they did not have this when it left the install shops. It's on the tailgate of a Gladiator, so I thought it could be off-road...

Hello! Thanks for the add, I've been in the trade show industry as a designer for about 9 years, and started my own design business recently with a big portion as decals. I had a customer that had some issues after having them installed by a professional, but now it's had some cracking about a...
