As far as creating a cut line from an image you find on google, "image trace" in illustrator, play around with the trace settings, then join the traced result and touch up manually to create a path for cutting.

It is as easy as creating a path, with a method of your choice, then giving that path's stroke color the properties of the roland cut like swatch. if you have any transparency in the file, the cut lines will not show up in versa works, all transparency must be flattened in illustrator, better...

We primarily do wall decals, not really in the "sign" business. USE oracal 631 and 651 plus a few material for printing. Keep a roll of every color in stock so that would be close to 200 colors/materials we use. Oracal is killing us with the backorders on some colors, waiting 8+ weeks on some...

I do about 20k 2" x 2" decals for a clothing company per month. after printing cut into about 30" sheets, the cut into strips with a ruler that has a sliding knife. Then scissors. Doesn't really take that long. A batch of 5k might 3-4 hours to cut. At 20 cents a sticker I can't complain, plus...

The price difference is relatively small, that 3k is negligible over the life time of the machine. 64" all the way

Wanted to add, don't let anyone dissuade you from the roland VG2/SG2 I've only had for a month but working perfectly, definitely not the first gen the forums are talking about

Might come down to how fast you need it, I was going to buy a 64" VG 2 but ended up with a 30" SG 2 because the wait on the 64" was too long, still waited over a month for the SG2. Don't quote me on this but when I was talking to the sales guy he mentioned if you order today you might get in...

https://www.breninc.com/product/new-clear-cut-7b-blue-trade/ Clear Cut 7B, it is pretty thin for a parking lot stencil but will get the job done

I got a new Roland SG2 about a month ago, so far working great and the colors blow my old Roland VS away. It has only been a month for me and 1 set of inks but so far 0 issues, a bit faster than my old printer and colors are WAY better. I went with roland since I already had one and did not want...

Just a regular wood blade, don't remember the teeth count but its medium teeth size. No different from cutting wood, go slow and let the blade do the cutting. Depending on the saw size you might have to rotate the roll half way through the cut if the diameter is too big for the saw. make sure...

I cut 60" rolls in half all the time with a compound miter saw, nice clean cuts

I have a friend that is trying to sell MX graphics and Ill be printing for him. Search for MX templates, there is a site that sells templates for any bike you can think of. Buy template, design in adobe illustrator and it would be much easier to have someone else print it instead of you learning...

My cutter and printer computers have their network devices disabled and have not seen the world wide web in years, all files are tranfered to those computers on a USB drive as needed. Main computer is backed up with Carbonite and backblaze and I create an image to an external HD every week or...

THANK YOU! can't believe I didn't think of this lol. got the cable ordered

Ok i'm hoping its that easy

The USB port on my 9+ year old camm1 pro cutter has died, cutter works fine except for the USb port. how hard is it to replace the port, want to see if it is something that can be done in case I decide to fix it. This cutter won't be getting much use either way as I have an army on fc9000s now...

I posted the in your other thread but quick summary after owning all 3 plotters you are considering, graphtec is by far the best. They'll all get the job done but the graphtec is the least picky when it comes to blade set up, summa t series you will dread putting a new blade in I don't see the...

I guess there is less flex, it makes a significant difference. I usually have 2 holders, 1 for large stuff with cheap blades and 1 for small text with geniun blades. I use the metal holder for all applications as it only slightly more expensive and last a while

Just remembered - using the brass tip tool holder on the graphtec significantly improves small letter cutting, it is way better than the standard holder

This just gave me an idea to try that I hope works. You know how you have to slide the vinyl and roller back to the starting point if the section you are working on is longer than the table and then continue applying the tape. I will do this and keep adding sections without cutting the transfer...
