It's always a great idea to use Google when you're unsure about something! In our application, a substrate is the surface on which we're printing. In other words, vinyl, polypropylene, or HD Metal. If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know. Thanks for watching! --Joanna

We love our Epson P7000! You can make tons of decals with your printer. You just need an idea about a genre - what do you do? What do you know about? Product labels are great, functional labels/diagrams/tables, small art prints/reproductions, maps, take photos of local architecture or nature/animals. The opportunities are really endless! Good luck! --Joanna

Hello and thanks for your comment. I have not come across removable vinyl for inkjet ink. Keep in mind that transparent graphics for windows will not have the same vibrancy as a white substrate. If you need a durable white substrate suited for car window decals, my Aqua Vinyl system will stand the test of time. Please let me know. Thank you!

That is a solvent printer so it would not work with our substrates. Only inkjet. Thanks for watching!

Inkjet ink requires lamination in order to be protected from smudging. We let our prints dry for at least 2 hours before laminating. I hope this helps! --Joanna

Everything we use is offered in our eBay store. You can search for CG Vinyl Studio. Also, please check the description box for links. Thanks!

It's a Drytac cold laminator - www.imageprointernational.com/products/ml25-manual-hand-crank-pressure-sensitive-cold-mount-roll-laminator?variant=32270890205283

Hello. We have all of our printable materials designed per our specifications. The laminate we use is 3M 8518. Feel free to email me if you need more information or a quote at xjoanna081982x@gmail.com. Thank you!

It would be difficult for us to tell you why you're having issues with calibration without seeing your machine. We did not have any problems with this function. If you would like to schedule a consultation, please email me at xjoanna081982x@gmail.com. We can do a remote session if you have a webcam so we can see what you're seeing. Thanks!

Appreciate your comment!

Hello. Here are some links for our HD Metal chrome substrates: 8.5x11 sheets - www.ebay.com/itm/303065890085 11x17 sheets - www.ebay.com/itm/303096525328 13x19 sheets - www.ebay.com/itm/303644656931 The material is manufactured to our specs. You will not find it elsewhere. Thank you! --Joanna

Hi Steven. I haven't used it for this myself, but it should work, in theory. Eco solvent is another form of inkjet printing, which is what this clearcoat is meant for. If you try it, just use it first on a test print to be sure. Thanks!

Yes, any inkjet printer can be used.

Yes, as shown in the video, the Aqua Vinyl system required 3M 8518 laminate.

Thank you for your support! I offer custom sized sheets of any of our substrates. Please email me your requirements and I'll send you a quote - xjoanna081982x@gmail.com

Hello! It is not heat transfer material, so it can not be applied to fabric. It is self-adhesive and can be applied directly to hard surfaces like glass, plastic, and metal. Thanks!

Hi Dan. I think the first step is to figure out what type of decals or signage you would like to make. Narrowing down the field can help you put together a plan for purchasing the right substrates and equipment. If you have any specific questions, Vince and I would be happy to set up a consultation with you. Thanks for your comment!

​@@cgvinylstudio3478 thank you for the reply! I really love to get started with stickers because I am getting back into art and I love stickers that people don't usually have specific to what I like. If you have the time It would be really helpful to get some advice to start

Thank you for your order! We would love to film our lamination process. I'll try to get someone we know to film us.

"You don't see these videos on TH-cam and the reason you don't is because they really don't want to give away the secrets of the trade." And then he proceeds to simply cut away to an already-laminated print without even showing the process he's blathering on about. This guy is a goofball. I'd stay away from his eBay store.

Thanks for your comment, Simon! We definitely waited and saved the profits from our business for a number of years before purchasing the Summa but we've been nothing but happy about it ever since!

Hello and thanks for your comment! Yes, these are laminated with 3M 8518 laminate, which is a UV-protective film. The duration is dependent on many factors - how much direct sunlight, how many hours per day, where do you live, at what angle are they applied in relation to the sun, etc. I'll say this - a sign we made for our front window three or four years ago is still going strong and I live in central Florida!

Hi Brenda! We use VinylMaster XPT and a Summer T75 cutter with tangential head. Thanks!

Hello and thanks for your message! I do not have a video like that, however, I'll mention that we have a driver for the cutter built into our design software. We use Vinyl Master Xpt. I'm not sure if this is the same process for all printer/cutter combos but so far we have had two different cutters (first a Graphtec CE 6000-60 and now our Summa) and the process has been the same.

Hello! It looks like that Epson is an inkjet printer, so yes, my printable substrates would work great with it. Thanks!

We use Vinyl Master for graphic design.

Thanks for your comment! I hear you on not fully maximizing the capabilities of the cutter. We're barely scratching the surface of what it can do!
