Just as "ahyesiam" posted under this, we all have our own personal preferences when it comes to material. I agree with him totally that the V1 was just as crapy and the lam was very brittle. Back then I used Avery's lam, when I (well the batch that was shipped to our distributors in Canada) found the silvering. Which was on the surface of the lam not caused by the print off-gassing. It was just a poor batch I couldn't afford to take chances ordering it on the hope I would get a good roll. Plus my distributor is still taking complaints to this day from other shops about the same thing. For solid colour film, Avery has the best colour selection and their EZ technology is just as good as 3M's Comply and it is a little less costly. When it comes to the industry giants, they all have great films, plus garbage that pros won't go near. Just stay away from Arlon films for wrapping. Arlon jumped on the bandwagon about a year ago and their product was introduced at about half the cost of 3M for good reason. It wasn't tested very well, and the roll we were sent to beta test didn't have a time release adhesive, when we tried to pop the film off to reposition it, it left the adhesive layer behind and the film was ruined. I spent more time trying to remove it then applying it. |

Some one asked me why I use Oracal RA when I know it is going to removed. Well the answer is the aggressive adhesive. It handles very well as far as the application goes. it is a little temperature sensitive but good and is not very re-positionable. It likes to stick without any pressure applied making hard to lift back up to reposition. It works best when applied at 68 to 72 degrees room temperature. Bellow 65 it gets brittle and breaks real easy and above 75 it is to soft and stretchy. Removal is a major pain in the butt. It comes off in Little chunks and the adhesive is gray and get all or everything. 3M and Avery if they are laminated comes of in one big pieces when you heat it up to about 140 degrees. |
