It actually weeds nice one you set the perfect depth/force on your blade. Thats the hardest part but once that is done, your golden! It's a stiff vinyl because of the metal flake inside it so it cracks pretty easy. I might think about upgrading to 5800 but client doesn't have the budget for...

I purchased some PVC sign delineator posts and I wanted to get your recommendation on the best vinyl to use on it. The posts do not appear to be LSE plastic and it seems that Oracal 751 vinyl adheres reasonably well to it. On top of the sheet of Oracal 751 I am applying Oracal 5300 reflective...

Is it possible to convert a Epson SureColor P800 printer into an eco solvent printer? I've read on this forum that it is possible but I don't know if its reliable. I usually have small signage to make and 17" format is all I really need. I'm looking for an inexpensive but reliable way of...

Dennis, can an you send an example file so we can look at it? Maybe there is something wrong with the export. Have you tried saving the file to PDF and importing into signcut?

Just wanted to add my 2¢ http://www.mcmaster.com/#steel-tweezers/=11cxg2a Try the Bent ones. Having a bend at the end really makes it easy for those small weeding jobs.

I agree but it made for even smaller numbers on the sign and I have a pretty decent method for aligning so no worries there. Thank you for the feedback! Much appreciated.

Thanks Bill. Unfortunately, my substrate supplier won't cut the substrate or round corners or punch holes. I did the math already for my labor but I just kind of thought I might be on the low side with everything. Of course, the client is going to think it's on the high side. I actually am...

Hey guys and gals, I could use a little direction and I'm sure that I'm not providing enough information but I'll try my best. I have a customer that wants 142 4" x 8" signs made on Signabond substrate. I can get about 144 out of one sheet if I'm careful cutting (I use a table saw). I'll...

I appreciate everyone's help here. It sounds like painting is just not going to be as easy as I would have thought. Obviously you have more experience with this so I am going to take your advice. I'm going to hit it with a sander and I'm going to lay down some white Orafol 751 vinyl (He wants...

Fortunately, he doesn't want it to be painted red. Just a solid white background with black and red letters and graphic. There isn't any way for me to clean the aluminum good enough to simply just overlay with a sheet of white vinyl so that is why I was hoping to sandblast it and prime/paint...

Customer has an old stop sign. He wants to have vinyl lettering put on it but sign is pretty dirty and needs to be sandblasted. I want to sandblast the sign, prime it and then paint it. Then I can put his business logo and name on it with vinyl lettering. Does anyone have any primer and...

I bought my mat from NGlantz. It's a Rhyno self healing mat. Same as SpeedPress Works great! Local shipping was only $5. You might want to check them out.

Thank you very much! You saved me from having to hand draw the letters for a new sign for my customer.

Does anyone have knowledge of this font? I'd be happy with something similar.

I discovered that US Cutter was sending me 3 year old stock. I purchase from NGlantz now and have not received anything older then 1 year. HUGE difference in weeding and application ease. Thanks to all for your help in this. Does anyone know exactly how to read the serial number printed...

I had suspected that it was old stock. I bough some stock from them one other time and it must have been the end of a roll. It was so bad that you couldn't lay the vinyl flat without it tunneling. Thanks for your help with this. I am going to call Oracal and see if they can tell me by the...

That's not going to work for me. I use a speed press for multi-color layouts and I need to get my vinyl cut, weeded and applied to aluminum as customers wait. The quicker the better. Some of my vinyl has a rubbery feel and weeds, sticks to my speed press app tape and removes beautifully. This...

No, I'd rather put time savings over cost but I was just curious as to how much more it was. Looks like it is approx. $3.00 more per yard from Fellers. I can live with that and I don't have an issue with trying another brand. But before I do that I would like to see if I am getting old product...

There is a lot of detailed work and tiny lettering. I'll have to look into 3M Cost.

I purchased several rolls of Oracal 751 from USCutter. Some rolls have a plain cardboard tube and others have a tube that says Orafol. The problem is that the vinyl with the Orafol label is a lot more difficult to weed and when I'm pulling the backing off the vinyl, the paper feels stiffer and...
