  1. Stubborn Wall, Graphics Falling Off

    So I have been in the print industry about 35 years and have not seen this before.

We assumed since the wall had...
  2. Need Help Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    We have had pretty good luck using the Versagraphics Peel & Stick Wallpaper for several Casinos. It is more aggressive than the PhotoTex and still has the light stipple finish, no Laminate needed using Canon Colorado 1650. However we have found much better luck wiping the wall down twice instead...
  3. 20' Trailer wrap

    We do work like this pretty regularly and looking at your materials we would be around $18-$22sq’ just for the Materials & Print.

    Sort a weird issue, we Laminated some Window Perf for Windows on a Van and 2 days after Installation noticed all the Windows that had Perf were rolling themselves back off!

  10. Canon Colorado 1650 FEEDBACK

    We had 2 HP Latex 570s and an HP R1000 Latex. I can tell you we were very skeptical about the sales pitches we got from Canon and how we would save switching to their printers.
