I lay out my decal on my table, load my transfer paper on a bar, and pull the paper over the decal hovering about 4" over the decal. I then let the paper sag until it barely touches the decal, and start working it down with a squeegee from the middle out.

Gino: It's 55" x 41". It is a thick outline owl logo done in Oracal 8510 etched glass material. (see attached) Because of the large void areas, I'm worried about it walking around without transfer paper over the whole thing. I don't really have anyone to take with me nut if I just do one pass of...

Hey All, I know the simple answer is "Get a wider roll of transfer paper." but I'll ask my question anyway: What do YOU do when you've made a window decal that is larger than your widest roll of transfer paper? Assume your supply store is closed due to a holiday or something and you HAVE to...

As far as pricing goes, our shop based a lot of pricing on the Sign Contractors Pricing guide. We don't adhere to it strictly, but it helps get us in the ballpark. SignCraft also has a Pricing Guide out there that may be helpful. I also have talked with a few "old-timers" that go with the 400% +...

Like he said- New File Place PDF Flatten Transparency Check "Convert Fonts to Outlines" Print. Done.

Lillhannus, Our 9890 just had to have a $4500 head replacement because we ended up with dried out magenta, vivid magenta, and light blue. Partially because we weren't using it enough and also because the ink cartridges had been run completely dry. DON"T DO THAT. (take it from me - when it gets...

Hey All, I'm looking for any guidance or direction on this project. I've got a large decal print for a trailer that will take 2 (or more) panels. (Imagine a large metal rip out graphic). Since it has complex edges that I would not want to cut by hand - I want to cut it on our Graphtec 8600-130...

Any tutorials or videos for file set up that you know of that can walk me through that specifically? Seems like flexi only makes bare-bones knowledge available but if you want anything of actual use, you'll have to buy their training dvds. I've got cutting master 4 and flexi 12 - file was...

Hey All, I've got some 30"x3" decals I've been running in short batches of 20 so that I can handle the sheet from print (mimaki jv150-160) to laminate (easymount) to the plotter (graphtec 8600-130). While I am able to keep handling the sheets with no problem, I feel I am wasting a good amount of...
