This is my first attempt at something incredibly small and detailed. While i'm sure all you old pros think this is no big deal, for me.. doing 3mm high characters in glass etch film was a big project. We're doing a Star Wars Imperial theme on my husband's 69 Chevy Nova and this mirror is one...

ohhh that's a very good suggestion, thx =)

cool, thx guys. the holes are about 1/4in from the edge so I suspect it should be ok. Just wasn't sure if I should be sending this roll back or just dealing with it.

so, i ordered non perforated film for my roland gx24 but ordway sent me perforated. Can I still use perforated film and have it feed correctly?

haha but it couldnt identify this one. I'm such a geek but its a good one to test with. hehe

wow! that is a spectacular tool!

Well, since I've been posting a lot, I suspect I should introduce myself a little better. My Name is Ilana Murray. I've been doing professional graphic design for both traditional applications and Internet for around 21 years. As a general all around crafty person, i'm used to being a one...

I actually really like using Macromedia Flash for its drawing tools. It's great for simple stuff and exports illustrator 8 which my sign program likes. It's not a complicated program and while its best for doing crazy animations and off the hook programming and scripting, the intuitive drawing...

1. nope 2. nope 3. you betcha! Did my first pro job in 1985. Used to use a copier, an exacto, and a bottle of whiteout to do my typesetting because I couldn't afford letraset type sheets lol. The logo I did in 1985 is still proudly used even after 4 different owners of that business over...

as a noob with cutting but a 20 yr graphics vet, i generally trace them in flash using those spectacular drawing tools. from there, i export as .ai and my roland default software spits em out on the cutter with ease. However, it is extremely time consuming and I don't think I would recommend...

ok, ordered my cleancut blade today so we'll see if that helps with the manglings. I was kinda bummed though, everyone keeps talking about the forum users discount but i couldnt find anywhere to enter that on the orderform. next time, i suppose.

oh and one more thing... should i replace the default blade that came with my roland with a cleancut? or wait til my roland blade wears out?

i was looking over the cleancut site last night and I noticed that there were also 30 degree blades... these better than 45's for the super fragile stuff? I'm going to try to figure out how to slow down the gx24 tonight and see if that helps.. I suspect it will. On the lubing, I might try to...

you guys are great! thx so much. And Kenny, thx.. that "many months of use" was the rough answer i was looking for. On this blade lubing.... is there an actual product for lubing the blades be it graphite or oil? I know back when I used to do a lot of heavy sewing, I used to use something...
