  1. calculating the actual area

    I have a need to calculate the actual area of cut vinyl. Meaning just the surface of my images. What would be the easiest way to do that? Thanks
  2. Adobe VS Corel

    My first ever experience with graphic programs was illustrator 88 on a Mac. Since then over the years I became more comfortable with Corel and PC. While Corel has some drawbacks, today it is my primary design tool. I use illustrator on occasion when absolutely necessary. On the other hand, I...
  3. Which Laminator Should I Buy?

    The only laminator I have ever used was a Seal (hot/cold) awesome machine. Might be pricey but is a workhorse. If you are planning in using it daily and a lot, I suggest you invest in a good machine so you do not end up kicking yourself latter.
  4. When to wet

    Wet application is a big no-no for me with an exception. When I begun installing vinyl, I was getting frustrated with bubbles and started doing wet app. What I have realised is that the timme difference needed for wet vs dry istall is not worth it. I spent some time experimenting and...

  6. Not sure what cutter to get...

    I was helping a friend find a cutter (he just got one) and Steve from Rayco Sign Supply has couple of 24" cutters... a Roland and a Mimaki I think he was asking for $800 or so for each. He gets them on trade ins and usualy lets them go very reasonable. He also had a 15" Stika new but out of box...
  7. Your Ebay Experience

    I started using e-bay actively about a month ago, mainly in search for a Roland PC-60/600 that I am trying to find. Couple of good deals got away within last seconds of the bidding :( I was pissed…..invested couple of hours researching e-bay bidding process and came up with Auction Sentry. A...

  14. copywrite question

    To the original post.... (I am offering my opinion only and not a legal advice) Fabric is not a finished product. Things are made out of it. So if you buy a fabric with copyrighter images on it from a store and without a specific disclamer on limitation of use, you can do whatever you want...

    Not too long ago a friend of mine was looking at one on e-bay, I think "US cutter". A 24" plotter new for under $400. He is not a sign maker and needed it for small occasional stuf. I advised against but he got it anyway. Ofcourse I was the one seting it up for him. Here is what he got....a...
  19. Info

    If you need a machine for business, stay away from "no brand" cheap chinese machines! If it is for occasional use hobby kind of thing, sure, go for it. These cheap machines usualy have poor or non existent support, they are noisy and a bit crude. But they do cut vinyl. If you are looking...
  20. mutoh falcon plus

    Thanks for the input. I was not going to go more than 400. That was the amount I was willing to risk. And yes I disd assume that many things are wrong with it. As far as fixing it, I could probably tear any printer to pieces and put them back together....been there, done that. Once again...
