"Butch - I agree that surface prep and substrate could be issues. However, neither of those conditions is likely to comfort clients or encourage them to purchase a wall graphic.

John H. replied to Dennis Dunning's discussion Seramark removing paint"Did you run a hair dryer/heat gun over it before removal ?
I include that in my customer instructions w/ seramark, I tell them to heat it up to soften the adhesive first.
Just curious because if you did I'm in trouble also, One hip sticker…"
Butch replied to Dennis Dunning's discussion Seramark removing paint"Dennis, I personally haven't encountered this with seramark although I have with regular cut vinyls on metal. The reason for the paint removal would be bad prep of the surface before painting. Drywall is one of the worst to deal with, bad…"
Dennis Dunning posted a discussionSeramark removing paint
I applied a wall graphic printed on Seramark for a client in December of last year. Recently, I was asked to remove it. To my surprise, removing the wall graphic is removing a lot of paint from the wall to which it is applied - very embarrassing because I told the client wall graphics can easily be removed without damaging the paint. The paint was dry when the wall graphic was applied. Has anyone else had this problem?See More
Dennis Dunning replied to Branden Holder's discussion Printing on Mojave Static Cling Vinyl, or Any Static Cling Vinyl"OK, I'll bite, There is a CSC (clear static cling) and a WSC profile for the SP 540i. Is the WSC preferred over the CSC for some reason?"
Dennis Dunning replied to Dennis Dunning's discussion Clear wrap vinyl?"Cutting and masking is certainly a reasonable alternative. What I neglected to mention in my initial post is that the numbers would be applied by someone other than me and sold competitively with those at www.boatnumberplate.com. Since I…"

just can't see why its printed"
Rick Ledenican replied to Dennis Dunning's discussion Clear wrap vinyl?"If you already have the lamination around, your costs would be minimal. Being a boater, we are like bikers, which I am as well, a little "favor" can go a long way to a whole lot of very profitable boat names, re-striping and graphics.…"
Dennis Dunning replied to Dennis Dunning's discussion Clear wrap vinyl?"$24.99 for a set of two, free shipping. Available in letter colors black and white. I'm not sure it is worth the effort for me to try and do this for one boat."
Dennis Dunning replied to Dennis Dunning's discussion Clear wrap vinyl?"Fat fingered? More likely it was a check to see if I was paying attention. That aside, producing the boat numbers this way looks like a lot of work. I will try to find out what the website charges."
Steven Jackson - Admin replied to Dennis Dunning's discussion Clear wrap vinyl?"I fat fingered my buttons :) 3420 is the laminate for the 4500 G Clear. They are both calandared medias. i did not see a cast clear media."
Dennis Dunning replied to Dennis Dunning's discussion Clear wrap vinyl?"Imprintables carries Arlon 3420 (for calendered vinyl) and 3220 (for cast vinyl) but not 3240. Is the Arlon 4500G Clear calendered vinyl?"
Steven Jackson - Admin replied to Dennis Dunning's discussion Clear wrap vinyl?"Dang - this is the second time it cut my response off!
I would not use static cling for this - try the Arlon 4500 G Clear media with 3240 laminate. It is up to 5 year durability without the lam so it should go upwards of 7 years. Yes IW carries…"

This is a public thank you to Steven Jackson for teaching me something new about color management in VersaWorks today.
Visual perception of white
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 7:40am 11 Comments 0 Likes
I wanted to share something that I never noticed before about the color white printed using RVW-BK01A (a Roland VersaWorks white) on our SP-540i (a CMYK machine). I had a design with white in it that I printed it on Quick Print. I printed some of white using RVW-BK01A and other parts without it, in other words, I let the Quick Print be the white color. The RVW-BK01A white printed with a little black ink in it and, much to my surprise, it looked whiter than the white of the Quick Print,…
Continue Glue line
Posted on September 14, 2011 at 11:53am 2 Comments 0 Likes
During a car wrap workshop in May, Steven Jackson explained that calendered vinyl is more prone to shrinking than cast vinyl and that shrinking can produce a glue line, also known in the vernacular, as a snot line. How bad could it be I asked Steven with some trepidation? He said it depended, among other things, on the size and age of the material. As luck would have it, we recently installed a sign on on a store-front window next to a round vinyl sign that was about 3 1/2 feet in diameter… Continue
