Wall graphics
I am about to start advertising wall graphics. Do you have a set price based on size. Also, which media do you like the best. I am outsourcing my larger ones and want to know which price to sell at. Thanks for the feedback!

well, as promised here is an update on the test decal I did for my husbands car - it's been on a few weeks now and we've discovered the ink can be rubbed off with our fingers. It was not laminated.
to be honest, I did turn the heater down on the printer - so I'm going to try again - I just assumed if it was dry the ink was "set". Am I wrong on that assumption?

What media profile and blade settings do you guys and gals use when printing on the PhotoTex? Gonna do a skin for my xbox 360 and controllers to test it out. Dunno if any of yous thought of this idea before but with this stuff you can also offer skins for gaming systems & controllers, ipods/phones/pads, pc towers, laptops, flatscreen monitors & tvs, etc. I was originally thinking of offering that kind of stuff on adhesive vinyl but I think PhotoTex may be a better option, that way if they need to sell whatever they skin they can just peel it off easily.

MCVP should work well for both Seramark and Phototex. Remember thatbneither of those materials will stretch so you are limited to fairly flat smooth surfaces for skins and wraps.

Good point. If I can ever find the templates for it I'm still gonna try it out, the system itself shouldn't be a problem, not sure about the controllers though. Phototex also makes a repositionable matte vinyl, so I think that may be better for the controllers, the fabric material would probably feel kinda weird anyway.

as far as wall graphics we charge buy the sq ft and that price dependes on not only
on location but how much design work you do.
the media depends on many different things type of wall, humitdy, how long they want
the vinyl to last. here in dallas we charge between 15-20 per sq ft. some times we
charge a little less or more it depends on the work involved.
hope this helps alittle

I started out using Photo-tex and have made the switch over to Seramark. Photo-tex tends to fray around tight corners. From my experience the Seramark material prints much more vibrantly and cuts much better as well.

As I mentioned before I did a test on PhotoTex and the ink ran after a couple of weeks - I couldn't find the MCVP profile so I used generic vinyl this time with. How do you guys determine how hot the printer/dryer setting should be for each material?

Muda - I think the materials I was trying to get to you will be going out tomorrow!
MCVP is a default Roland setting and should show up automatically. If it does not, do an update of Versaworks and it should be in there after that. Also, set your dryer to 120 (50 c) if you really want it dry.

Thanks for the good news I'm looking forward to trying the Seramark.
I was worried about updating versaworks because only the Imac is hooked up to the internet (I use the PC for a RIP only and I was worried about corrupting something - does anyone else work this way? Have you had problems downloading upgrades and profiles to the Mac and sending them to the PC?

Never tried that. i would hook up the PC to the internet and do the update directly into Versaworks.
