Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of printer is used for car wraps?

A roll-to-roll digital printer is best for printing onto vinyl for use in vehicle graphics. Both resin and eco-solvent inks remain the most popular ink choices for vehicle graphics, but even UV ink is occasionally used in some cases.

What is the best vinyl for car wraps?

Any adhesive vinyl can be used for vehicle wraps, but cast vinyl is often the best choice. Other types of vinyl may shrink over time, especially on curved surfaces. Cast vinyl is designed to maintain its shape and structure after application, making it ideal for applying to intricate shapes like car and vehicle graphics.

How do you install vehicle graphics?

Use isopropyl alcohol to ensure all surfaces are clean and free from oils before commencing.

For flat panels (for example, on the side of a van), install the graphic as you would with any flat surface; starting from the middle and working your way out to the edges.

For more complex contours, specialist vehicle wrapping skills may be required. Although they demand significant expertise, vehicle wraps present a lucrative opportunity for building revenue.

Search in your area for vehicle wrapping courses and you can learn the basics and network with experts who can help with specific issues.

Can I make vehicle graphics with only a cutter?

Yes! With only a vinyl cutter (even a small desktop cutter) you can produce everything from car window stickers to pinstripes and lettering.

Where do I find vehicle graphics templates?

Several online libraries are available which supply vehicle graphics templates. These cover most popular models of vehicles in side, front, back and plan elevations.

For larger graphics, you can manage by printing more than you need and trimming the excess, but templates are very useful if you want to align graphics across multiple sections.
