vinyl

Hello! I was wondering if I could get some input as to what is the best plotter on the market today that won't cost me a gazillion dollars? I have worked in the sign biz for a few years and am thinking of branching out on my own. At my former employer we had a Mimaki printer and plotter. Also a...

I really appreciate the help I've received in previous questions. I have another one though! I just got deposit on a job today, it's a non-lit sign that's in a 8'x16' metal frame about 20' high. I plan on using cut vinyl and some digital print. The previous panels were (4) 4'x8' MDO all...

My 19 years old nephew want to get in the game and become an installation tech for vinyl (car wrap, mural, windows, etc.). We live to far appart so I could hire him and give him a training. I've suggested to find a position in is area, but without experience no one will take him even as an...

I did a standoff sign for a customer here in Memphis. The dark gray printed as a dark purple and I did not catch it. We left the premask on to protect the sign during transport, so the customer didn't notice the color. I believe the trade show starts Thursday, so I'll need it cut tomorrow. I can...

Keeping things simple on this one... what do you think? Too blocky and simple? Not the right feel for a gunshow? These will be put up along the roadside. They will be painted background and cut vinyl text per customer request. The date and $ will be changed out on occasion, so I figured putting...

Looking for some help regarding the manufacturer of this adhesive back vinyl. It must be exact. Any help is appreciated.

The friend I had that cut my vinyl passed away from lung cancer. I don't do much vinyl, but I did just get an rfq for a customer that simply wants black vinyl lettering on his truck. Total is probably 48" x 120" if I can shoehorn it all in there. I'm looking for someone that can cut that for...

I use a Roland VS-540i and I've noticed that if I say, have 100 stickers to print/cut, the plotter won't necessarily cut each sticker in order - for example if I have a row of 10 stickers it'll cut the one on the far right first, then skip ahead to the 4th, then back to the 2nd, then over to the...

Greetings! Does anyone know of a brand/manufacturer that produces Pink reflective vinyl? Nothing in the usual suspects... Thanks.

Morning Signs 101 Buds, I used to relatively have no issues with digitally printing printing on MacTac White engineer grade reflective sheeting with our old Roland SC-540. We purchased a Roland VS-640i and am having no luck printing on the same sheeting. The material acts like it's not...

I am looking for a reliable wholesale sticker company- for stickers about 2" round, bumper stickers etc. Not paper, but waterproof vinyl. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Anyone have issues with this Vandal Guard anti-graffiti laminate. It seams to be shrinking and pulling the the vinyl as it sits on the table. It has even lifted and then shrunk and left a crease that will not go away. I printed with a Roland 540 and laminated with minimal tension on a Royal...

I am quoting a job for a client who retrofits vehicles for fire departments and police departments. They would like me to complete the lettering and markings on a few new fire trucks and was surprised to find that the engine turn gold pattern is nearly impossible to find anymore. Currently...

Okay, so my Mutoh has always come up a little short on banners on our banner setting but nothing drastic so we did not adjust. All other materials have always been spot on. Now, my vinyl prints are coming up short...the longer the print the bigger the difference and width-wise it is dead on...

Hi all.....I have a job that the customer calls out Reflex Blue, but i have no sample of the color.....I use 3m 7125 vinyl and am not sure which blue would be closest....Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanx Martin

Hi! New member checking in, based in Norway. For a client, we're looking to start producing stickers for name tagging clothes and lunch boxes, water bottles etc. The market is for kindergarten kids as well as retirement homes where you need to put label your clothes. For retirement...

I have a customer that would like white reflective letters on a blue/green non-reflective background. This will be for both 2ft x 4ft signs (planning on MDO substrate) and 18in x 24in yard-type signs (substrate TBD, probably alumalite?). Trick is they will be up for 4 weeks a year but they would...

Hi all! My questions may seem crazy so please bare with me.. I'm looking for an eco-solvent printer that can print on office/digital glossy paper (e.g Xerox ColorTech). My normal aqueous/dye/inkjet printer just bleeds and smudges on this paper (obviously). 1. Would an eco-sol printer work with...

I have a client that has acrylic faced foam letters with printed vinyl on them. Another shop made the sign about 4 years ago and the printed faces are fading bad. They want to replace the sign with a longer lasting option. Logo has a gradation and they will not accept a solid color alternative...
