Thats cool!!!!!! 😎 Not everyday you see a 4ft peacock riding down the road on the side of a vehicle! 😀

Was the Easy Apply easy to apply? Does it deserve its name? And dare I ask how long it took? 🙄 And (last question honest) what size of print did you use, ie was it all one piece or did you tile it?

Cheers, Dewi

Hi all

Its our first wrap so cant compare the easy apply with anything else but the guys who are fitting reckon its easy to use.

The sides of the van will be done in 4 sections ie the front wing/door/2 panels to the back of the sides, the easy apply is 1370 wide so the main panels are about 1300 high by i think about 950 wide and took about 1hour per panel to fit but thats probably not working continually.

Hopefully will get the van completed shortly and will post the end result!!

Sorry meant to add also that the prints were covered with a sericol varnish for protection.

Van looks great……

Know nothing about digital printing, I know you can laminate the prints, but never heard of the varnish? How do you apply that? Is it aerosol or brush?

(Typical newbee!! 😳 )

Hi there

Its an over varnish that is used for screen printing, it is what avery recommend to use when applying over irregular surfaces as it does not affect the conformability of the vinyl.

We sprayed the varnish on but it is usually applied using screen print process.
