hey bigfish, handy to know! were actually looking at buying some in for us to print and i wanted to see if anyone had any companies that they recommend for the perf. we had some grapytype which we used(its a european brand) and we just ran out of it. since we can't get that perticular brand here in the states i'm looking at other brands and i like to get any good/bad points on brands before i buy it in. will be buying in a 54" x 150 with the recommended lam also.

some of it is going onto a store front window as a permenant graphic and were also doing window graphics. we used a cast before for some window graphics several years ago and it still looks great today!! which is good to see.

Call fellers and ask for a price on the 3M 8171, hold on to your seat cause its a super expensive. Its also not a long term product. Its going to be over $1300.00 for a 54"x150' roll. My product will hold up for a few years and you could buy at least 4 rolls for less then 1 roll of 3M 8171.

The only film out of Oracal, ClearFocus, OneSign1?, 3M, that has lasted a "few" years has been 3M. Laminated and not laminated, with and without Edge Sealant, 3M has always lasted for me. The rest only last months, unless you're lucky it might last a year without looking like junk.

universal and oracal do a cast......according to my supplier here......the universal was very expensive though! so i could get away with a calendared doing store front window graphics? and vehicle window graphics? i seal eveything that i do with perf with a liquid lam seal it pen anyways, just as a precaution.

so what would the price be on say>> 54" x 50ft, also 54" x 100ft and 54" x 150ft. i also need a price on opticaly clear lam for the vehicle graphics. and shipping to NC

thanks

Lol then use your supplier out there and keep overpaying for window perf, my product is identical to the clear focus with all the same warranties and licenseing. I sell the perf to some of the biggest accounts like AAA Flag and Banner, Warner Brothers Studios (Wrap the biggest buildings in LA) and Primary Color who does a ton of work on the Las Vegas buildings and they have been using my perf for over 6 years. The perf with laminate will last multiple years. 54"x150' is $302.58 and shipping is another $40 the Lam is 54"x150' and the price is $395.00 plus $40 for shipping.

Yes but there is no tax because your out of state. Yes you should use laminate for your car windows and also use edge seal around the edges so you never get edge lift
