I have it and KIN LOVE IT! cant fault it at the mo, the only thing there aint many profiles for it yet.
-
no its for exhibition graphics and they insist they must be that size to fit the spaces, i asked amari and they said no?
-
normally they email me with the cost first, this time the stuff just arrived on my door step, i never even gave them the go ahead but as i used them before i stupidly passed the graphics on to my customer thinking everything would be ok till i got the bill, i have argued with them about it and they refuse to budge, im just sorry i have helped them out in the past, i think i know what its about, i am mates with somebody they sacked recently but im not sure why they have the hump with me but balls (politest way i can put it) to them they have lost out on a printer sale now as i have ordered mine from elsewhere.

i love that sandy gulls font, what is it?
-
if you follow the horizon and NONE of the contours of the van it never looks right, especially if you are talking about the last 2 shapes of astra van.
-
go with the vehicle contours all day long, after all you are putting it on the vehicle not the horizon!
-
i could do with some of that! where do you get it from?
-
no the number is no secret i was just going to give him the number of the guy i get it from at that price.
-
allprint if you email me through my site ill give you a number.
-
no mate serisign, i hustle a good price!
-
I switched to serisign after using LG that seems to have become very crap to weed even after changing blades and setting and also failed on a black van even on a flat panel! now i have made the jump to avery 700 and what a difference! I was a bit unsure with the serisign but you can tell the avery stuff is way out of its league, ok you have to pay £1.50 instead of £1 but well worth it!
-
yes you are absolutely right peter.
-
well thanks for all your comments, they have made me feel allot better! i was pooing myself about paying out thousands that i aint got but you have made me see a bit more light, thanks for that! you live and learn.
-
to add to it i done it for FREE in the hope to get more work from it and to have my logo on it!
-
the car is about 2 years old, they are a prestigious car hire company and they want to advertise the fact that you could have your name plastered all over the car so they just wanted it for a photo shoot but left the graphics on for about a month and i only had 7 year vinyl in stock but though it would be fine and told them so.
-
if they are the bonnet stripes they come on avery vinyl and they are a piece of pee to fit!
-
i have used the jac wrap and laminate, was about £700 for both from all print, its pretty good, not as good as avery but good for the money.
-
that was my next question, do solvents last longer than eco? if so how long? is the solvent more scratch proof?
-
yeah you do have to be a bit careful cutting, just try to score it lightly with a new blade (only 10a blades) dont use the cowboy snap off blades and it should be fine.
-
hi mate i have done quite a few of these as im into bikes and the best way i have found is just to cut a big chunk of vinyl and work from the middle like you are wrapping a football, then get somebody to pull slightly on the edges as you work your way out stretching the vinyl with a little heat, it takes some practice but it the only way really and to cut to shape after, the oracle cast you are using will be fine for it.

respect to you steve for what you are saying, harry how can you say graffiti is boring? there are millions of different styles of graffiti and saying use off colour is lacking in depth etc you have been looking at the wrong stuff! and as an artist yourself i think its sad that you can see the tallent in others, as for banksy wether you think his stuff is good or not, his peices are worth hundreds of thousands, what are yours worth?

its by a german artist called daim and yes i agree that taggin and throw-ups give graf a bad name but if you cant stand back and admire the skill and talent that goes into a proper piece you need your eyes testing!
-
but paul he is all about getting across to the general public, you have to read into his pieces, i mean something like this says it
Attachments:
-
No he is more about getting a point across than can control these days but he still does some nice work. He does alot of stencil work so he can get in there, throw it up and get out, this allows him to do it in well populated places and get a message across to alot of people.

Well there must be truth in what you say as you all seem to agree, i suppose there must be some rules otherwise it just starts looking like a mess! I dont really think about the rules i suppose i just know what looks right and what looks wrong. (I hope!) As for that van yes it looks a right mess but that is just taggin and not a piece.
-
man that is unreal! ive never seen vinyl that bad, i always thought avery was pukka, especially considering the price they charge for it!
-
ive started using JAC stuff and its pretty good, anyway jill whats wrong with avery?
-
yes mate very true, but i have now upgraded to 8 and its even better! loads of tools for editing bitmaps and stuff. There is no better than signlab!
-
well thanks for all the advice and i think ill try the oracal. how long does it take to join? i put in all my details and credit card details about 3 days ago to join the best one but have heard nothing, did it not go through?
-
Hi Brian thanks for sorting that out, i appreciate it.
-
thanks peter.
-
they dont do it yet thats why im asking! im not that stupid!
-
man thats depressing! i just upgraded to 7.1! where can i upgrade to 8?
-
sorry didnt realize that! I think i will join UKSG thanks for all your help, really appreciate it!
-
vizuon hi-cal 6700 email me at (mod-edit) Steve what sort of price is the oracal? everybody says thats good stuff so i might change to that but can you give me a rough price?
-
i think i will have to look in to the oracal stuuf then as i have heard good things, thanks for all the nice comments about my site, it sort of means a bit more when it come from people in the trade!!
-
looks like ill have to join uksg and see what that stuff is like! i dont mind paying more, i just want to stop pulling my hair out when i weed! (hot) isnt Jac part of avery?
-
well i have been using LG for years now and at £1 a meter for 7 year this is why i have put up with it till now, its just sometime weeding seems like it takes for ever and ive had enough of it! i suppose it is quite a basic question but its just that i havent tried many other vinyls so i wanted your opinions before i went out trying everything under the sun but thanks for saying my website is impressive, i try to be a bit different.
-
Well thanks very much! yes most of that was done with LG, its nice and conformable but it takes ages to weed! The mini was done with metamark MD5. thanks for the nice comments.
-
do you know how much it is? how much is the mactac 9800 you use? i want to you some quality stuff. the jac stuff if ok i think and i can get it for about £1.05 a meter and its 8 year.
-
The Lg stuff takes for ever to weed as you have to hold down each letter cos they come up. i even put in a new blade and had it cutting so hard it nearly came through the backing and still the letters come up when you weed. its not to bad to work with apart from that but ive had enough! i changed to Jac but wanted to know if there are any better and for what price?
