    Printing on vinyl with inkjet printer

    I was talking to the sihl distributor up here and he sold me a roll of 3635 that he claims he sells to all the guys using waterbased inkjets like HP's and Epsons, I havent tried it out yet as my epson 2200 is still on its way but I'll update everyone tomorrow how it turns out.

    Layer multiple vinyl layer with success??

    Clear tape, and peel your backing paper off and reapply it leaving only the registration points with no backing, line them up with the lower layer, apply it, then hinge it back, pull the backing paper off & lay it down.

    Trouble applying Oracal 631 - backing not coming off

    Also squeegee the back of the decal firmly first, and pull the backing paper off at as sharp an angle as possible, those two things seem to help.

    Thinking about opening a storefront, any thoughts?

    I dont know what its like down there but up here in Canada alot of auto repair shops are DYING due to all the cheap deals on new cars and ill bet there are a few places willing to rent you out a bay on a per day basis just to get some $$ coming in. One of my buddies runs a repair shop and he has a tint guy, a pinstripe guy and a paintless dent repair guy all renting spaces from him.

    Had to laugh

    my version of the big sqeegee

    I would squeegy parallel to the coroplast flutes, not perpendicular to them, so the squeegy can press the vinyl down into the grooves personally.

    eBay scum of the earth

    Welcome to the World Wide Web and the 4 or 5 billion people out there ready and willing to rip people off. (including yerself apparently LOL!)
  19. went thru some of this stuff with a company that rhymes with FODGE, they were more than happy to approve my stuff so long as I didnt mess with their corporate branding and not modify it in any way as it was for an enthusiast club.
  20. 8 ft by 34" banners (2 of em) photo attached, Oracal 651, Bandana Banner, how much should I charge this guy?
  21. Yeah no doubt the speed will come, but im stuck paying Canadian prices for everything from local suppliers or I get nailed hard on brokering fees from the states. The banner material I had to buy a full roll cuz APPARENTLY no one stocks black banner material in Toronto, and that was 150 plus taxes for a 24 yard roll, so call it 7 bucks a yard, about 2.40 a linear foot = 19.20 The vinyl was 1.50 a yard for 15" wide Oracal, I used about 16 yards = 24 bucks App tape, Rapid Tac 2 paper towels tape etc.... 5 bucks So by my estimation Ive got about 48 bucks in materials into each one assuming my math is right.
  22. BWAAAAHAHAHAHAAA threads turning into a Banner Brawl LOL! Im guessing im about right at the 125 a piece mark based on most of your comments, but given that im still fairly new at this and have only done 4 banners total so far, (doing mostly vehicle stuff) how in the HECK do you do one of these banners in under an hour?!?! It took me probably 2 hours to cut weed and mask all the parts, and at LEAST 2 more hours to apply it all to the banner and I thought I was FLYING thru it as I had other stuff to do afterwards. Also my material cost was alot higher than 20 bucks per banner, i would guess more in the 40 to 50 dollar range.
