we use a product called Orangel, come from ZEP...squirt it on, wait 10 seconds, and wipe her off.

why not just do a print?

Frogg - we've been doing Banners for 10 years, and for the most part 651 is all we use, other than orajet 651 gloss for prints, stick with that and you'll be alright

honestly never heard of using a desktop printer for sign use. I use a roland versa camm, wouldn't use anything but.

always also depends how you peel your decal as well. be sure to face it down and peel the backing paper off instead of the app tape off.

yes - how exactly are you applying your app tape? I've seen it done a 1000000 diff ways. some use a spare laminator, some use another roll against your app tape and roll it out. I use a pre-mask applicator mounted on my weeding table at one end, you simply roll the tape out over-top of your decal and squeegee it on. fo handed out decals though, its gotta be clear.

try Renfrew High tack R-tape, works best for me. and yes, listen to the other guys, always turn face down and peel backing paper off pre-mask.

we have quite a lot of humidity where I am from, and used to have issues once in a while with pre-mask not sticking. brought in a dehumidifier, and switched to High-tack R-tape, and there doesn't seem to be any issues.
