so just to make sure I understand. These are Laminators, so they are actually built for laminating, but you can just swap out the laminate material for transfer paper and it will do that same thing? will you need a huge area to set the thing up or just like a cutter about the size of the...

any suggestions for a laminator for under $2,000?

I do have flexi....very new to it....just tried the weed lines for the first time, my goodness...that made it 100 times easier. looked up the laminator, looks pretty nice. I see there is multiple kinds. I am just laying standard oracal vinyl on acrylic. so would i just use a cold...

I was wondering if you guys had any tips on applying vinyl. I dont have as much trouble actually laying the vinyl as I do weeding it and applying the transfer tape. when weeding a 48" roll thats 6 or 7 feet long I really struggle. and applying transfer tape, sometimes I get bubbles and have...

I was wondering the same thing. I have alot of customers give me PMS colors for their vinyl. I use alot or Oracal but would be open for any good brand of vinyl if I could easily match it. I get tired of matching a 1" x 1" pms with a .375" x .5" vinyl sample. Unless there is a better way?????

Autocad 2009, AI CS6, and the CNC is a router that runs Partworks.

wow, I hadnt thought about service at all. That is a very good point to bring up. I looked up Graphtec and their nearest is 250 miles. Im sure there is some sort of service companies out there that offer service to all/most brands but I havent found them yet. thanks everyone for their...

So i wouldnt need to buy flexisign or anything with a graphtec? I use CS6 already so my graphtec is the way to go????

you guys may be able to help because I know alot of you are self employed. I am looking for a highly motivated person for part time work. Possibly someone that has had experience in the sign industry. There will be travel invovled. Typical trip is anywhere from 4-7 days. MUST HAVE Spray...

I am trying to figure out what brand vinyl cutter and software to get. We have outsourced our vinyl needs for years and I think its time we bring it in house and do it. We have CNC router so we are familiar with this type of work already. we would be looking at a 48-54" machine. we will be...

we could buy 50-75 sheets at a time but so far the manufacturers arent interested. Paint is an option but one id like to stay away from. Paint scratches alot easier than buying it black/white. plus then you add time for handling because your avoiding scratching. I guess its a lose lose for...

thats great for a 1 time shot but our shop rate is well over $100 an hour and Im cutting lots and lots of sheets of this stuff. we have been using the 3mm dibond white/black and gluing it together but thats very time consuming as well. not sure what the right answer is here.

Im looking for a fairly specific material here, I need a 6mm aluminum composite material such as dibond or epanel that is black on one side and white on the other. sheet size is some what up in the air. 4x8, 4x10, 5x10 anything like that. the biggest things are it HAS to be 6mm, it HAS to be...

the company i work for wants to stay away from doing any overlays. and i know they make it in 3/8 i lucked into it one time and i have found plenty of places that can get it, they just will only get it if i buy a skid full and thats not an option for me at this time. I think maybe i am out of...

I called TAP. they only offer the matte in 1/8. having trouble with this one. I didnt think it would be so hard to find. I guess i may have to stick with either sandblasting it, or painting it to get the color i want.

by the way, neither of those places offered it. any other suggestions?

I realize i got "1" answer in the other thread however it wasnt helpful because neither place offered it. so i thought maybe if i extented to a place that was specifically for materials it may catch someones eye that could help me out. sorry i didnt realize they were to strict on someone trying...

Does anyone know what i can buy 3/8 matte black acrylic? i dont care about the sheet size, it can be 4x8, 4x10, 5x10, 6x6, whatever. I just need it to be 3/8" and matte black. Everywhere i find says its a 15 sheet min. I cant do that. maybe 5 sheets but thats max. email me if you know of any...

yes i could, in fact that has worked for us in the past. what happen was we lucked into a piece of matte black that was a mis-order and it saved us a ton of time/money. so my thought was if i could find somebody that i could start ordering 5 sheets at a time it could drop our cost down pretty...
