vinyl

This isn't the actual design, but it's close. My question is what makes the most sense. Printing the blue swoosh & lettering and stopping the wrap just behind the front door, or printing only the swoosh & using cut vinyl for the lettering? If you print the swoosh only, what's the best method...

I installed some non-perm adhisive posters on drywall in a gym. After two weeks one of the posters fell down. This is a large chain so I'm assuming this doesnt happen all the time. Is there a special way to install them? I used a felt squgee and tried to get the edges real good. Should I...

Hi, i have an Allen Datagraph 836 sign cutter what works well when it's cold. When it is working for about 30 minutes it puts way more pressure on the knife for a couple of seconds and it cut completely through the paper and sometimes it damaged completely the vinyl cutting. Someone has an idea...

Hey Everyone, I opened my door today and did not realize how close I was to the cement pillar. In the end it looks like I ripped the vinyl they use on the window frame. It is very small and not worried about the white underneath as that is the paint on my car rather than the frame. All...

Hello, I'd really appreciate advice on a number of topics. First, I just bought an HP 5000PS 60 inch plotter. It is a monster. Is this a good printer to print on vinyl for magnetic vehicle signs? I know it's overkill, but I bought it with the anticipation of branching out beyond magnetic signs...

Greetings and thanks for any help. One of our men dropped a channel letter face that was made using 3M 3635 222 black dual color film. Any ideas of supplier for 1 yard or manufacturer that produces something close that might come by the yard. Basically we must generally match the rest of the...

Hey Guys, long time listener first time caller... Ref: Graphtec FC-7000-160 (Signwarehouse Q-160) So last night I used my arrows keys as I have for years to move the media forward after a cut job was finished to cut off the job.

Whenever I make decals of stickers the edges peel back. If i print stickers and don't use them right away then the edges want to pull away and can't make them look presentable unless I put release tape on them first. I also noticed some other signs that were done peeling at the edges and curling...

3M Envision SV480Cv3 vinyl with matching laminate. Printed on a Roland TruVis VG-540. The vinyl was printed and left to degas overnight. Laminated the next morning, then cut. I used clear R-Tape application tape on the graphic due to some floating elements. When I tried to apply this graphic...
