I don't mean vinyl lettering, or vinyl graphics. I mean full vehicle vinyl wraps (like advertising wraps).

Anyone here have the equipment to do this?

I've watched YouTube vids. Doesn't seem hard to DIY. There is a really good write up on the rx8 forum. I plan on trying this with the cheap stuff first, and just a half of the celica, then I'll graduate to big $$$

I think you misunderstood me.

I'm not asked by who installs vinyl wrap. I'm asking who has the equipment to PRINT custom vinyl wrap.

Most local sign shops do. But you probably know that.

Sure, it looks easy...I found it was easy on the flat parts, but the complex curves on the car ended up with a number of wrinkles. Like anything, it takes practice to get good at it.

Yes, I know. I am asking if any GRMers do. I have a business idea I'd like to discuss.

Pretty pricey printers are involved. That being said a local company, DIG graphics in Brandon Mississippi does beautiful work. They're very easy to work with and can design pretty much anything but they ain't exactly cheap

Vinyl cutters are fairly cheap with large sizes under $2000. They handle one color at a time. Latex printers are pricey. 104" printers list for about 25-30k new. The grm 818 could be done with a cutter since it's single color graphics. A single layer, multi-color graphic takes a printer. I do large format printing (posters, displays, banners). Haven't tried wrap media in my printer. I run pigment ink not latex. Curious what you've got in mind.
