Hello Everyone, Any ideas for a good temporary, low residue vinyl for Window protection? A company with special vehicles is looking for short-term window protection and obviously wants to be able to peel the vinyl off easily and residue free when needed. Any thoughts would be greatly...

Whats been people's experience switching from a Roland VG series printer to an Epson? The shop I do production at is looking to upgrade away from our VG2-540 - its being a pain. My first simple inclination is to go for the new XG offering from Roland, but with how new it is I haven't heard...

Hi all, I'm hoping to get some insight about a problem the company I work for has been having recently. We make stickers, and we have been buying General Formulations 201-54 matte white vinyl for longer than I've even worked here. Recently (in the past 1-2 months or so) we have noticed that...

I've been doing lots of research and I've more or less landed on 3M IJ180 or 40C. I currently use IJ35C, which is a huge step up from Orajet 3640. I used that for years for permanent outdoors signs. I learned from someone else who tried to cut corners everywhere possible and I'm just now finding...

Hi Community, Is it just me, or do 3M vinyls stink up the shop way more than others? Lately I’ve been running IJ35, IJ480, IJ175, and IJ40. Even with solid ventilation, the whole shop smells like a chemical factory. When I switch over to Avery materials I have no problem at all. Practically...

Hi, Lately, I've been having issues when printing. (attached pics) Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening? I usually print different designs per page, and the bleeding doesn't happen in all of them. It mostly happens with yellows, red, and black. I've recently changed vinyls but...

I have a graphic that I'm trying to cut in my stencil material. The primary issue I've been facing with this job is that it's so large and detailed that the cutters are having a hard time processing the data. At the moment I'm working on a portion of the graphic that is only about 4ft by 3ft...

I am perplexed. The nozzle drop out in the light magenta is very new, the banding has been happening for some time, but its ONLY in the cyan and blue colors, nothing else! And it seems to be getting worse! I used Substance's ICC profile for a while but as the banding began to get worse - I...

We've had our UCJV for almost 2 years now, running mostly print and cut stickers. For the first year and a half, we had almost no issues. Once we had the machine figured out, we could run jobs all day long with confidence. In December, one day we were suddenly not able to cut through our regular...

Good day all, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what they're using for hand files when it comes to trimming vinyl. Currently we've tried a lot of what Amazon has to offer but I'm not getting the cleanest of edges. Can anyone recommend what they're using? Thanks,

Good morning, What is an all purpose reflective that y'all are using with air release? Here is what we have ran in to. We have used arlon illuminite in the past, and I love it for full pieces. It lays great, and removal is much much easier than other brands. The only problem I have had with...

Hello all, I'm trying to bid on a job that has this requirement "Material must be tamper-proof. Decals must include a die-cut self-destruction feature that prevents removal in one piece from the surface in which it was applied." It seemed to me that this meant some sort of perforated cut along...
