I read a new product release some time ago about small diameter (1/8" - 3/16") stainless steel cable with integral electrical wire that could be used for suspending and providing electricity for ceiling mounted LED indoor signs. My google searches have not been successful, probably because...

Thank You Thanks for all the information, it is appreciated!

Does anyone have experience with covering a wood substrate with vinyl, covering the vinyl with transfer tape, then laser engraving through the transfer tape and vinyl into the wood substrate and finally painting the engraved area with a contrasting color before "peeling off" the transfer tape?

I have a customer who has requested a sign that is unique/different for their new building. I'd like to propose a 3-D sign and would like to build a scale model of it using cardboard. The appearance of the model for design I have in mind would not look good if all the parts were not the same...

I'm searching for a outdoor backlit sign box with the dimentsions of 12" x 48" x 4". I'm capable of fabricating a box of those dimensions, but this is my first attempt at an outdoor back lit sign, I have a backlog of sign my normal sign work, but would like to "branch out". I'm not sure of the...

I apologize for the hastily posted message and the lack of clarity. My customer’s signs are being stolen (they are located in front of his business on his property) once or twice a month. He has cameras on the site and has “trained them on the signs” but the camera’s are not close enough...

I have a good client who buys "lawn signs" (vinyl letters on corrugated plastic) to augment his other advertising. However, he has had a problem with theft of of his signs and asked what deterrents could be used. I suggested using cutting the company name/logo from vinyl with a very...

Thank You Thank you for all your insight and help

I imported a clip art image from the CoreldDraw 9 Clip Art Library Disk. I added some lettering and sent it to Cut Studio. The lettering showed up in Cut Studio just fine, however, the clip art showed up in Cut Studio as a blue rectangle. The clip art file was a CorelDraw file (a vector...

Thanks for all the replies!!

Thanks for your response. I currently use CutStudio, however, my reason for inquiring about using VersaWorks with GX-24/X3/XP was to determine if I could "cut an image" from vinyl, then increase the knife force and use the "contour cut" function in VersaWorks to "perforate" the backing paper...

I'd like to use VersaWorks with a GX-24, CorelDraw X-3 and Windows XP, is there any hope? If there is hope, on the Roland download site, which files should be downloaded?

Thanks Thanks for the reply. I purchased my Cutawl K-11 used and did not receive an Owner's Manual with it. I was informed the "Cutawl Museum" web page that Rhett Bryson at Furman College established used to have a copy of the manual posted but only the cover page is there now. It is...

I just purchased a Cutawl to use in the field to make minor modifications and for small projects that do not warrant the time spent setting up a CNC machine. I would like to know the best Cutawl blade to use for each of the following materials: Coroplast Foamcore 1/4" polycarbonate & acrylic...

I'd like to "cut through" the backing paper after I cut the object from the vinyl to facilitate ease of layering vinyl upon vinyl without using registration marks. I'd like to be able to increase the "downforce" of the knife for the second cut. This cut would be similar to a contour cut but...

Why not print on cling I'm placing a red colored vinyl on white cling material. The red colored vinyl will be still good when red print ink will have long since faded. My experience with red is that it is more prone to fading than almost any other color regardless of the type of printing...

Pat, Thank You Thanks for the search. I did check those threads out, however, several were for "window perf" material and the others addressed Versaworks for the most part. I assume using the GX-24 to perform this task will require registration marks to "align the second pass" of the...

How can the Roland GX-24 be used to make a "perforated contour cut through the backing sheet" to allow removal of small decals from a larger piece of vinyl after the vinyl decal has been cut?

I'm aware there are "Roland" pens for plotting available for the GX-24 as I have several of them. However, the amount of use one can expect from those pens makes them very expensive relative to "Sharpies" or other types of pens. Based on what I've read, the people on this site are a very...

Cutting rectangular or square signs in Coroplast is no problem, and irregular shapes aren't extremely difficult either, but is there a better tool to use than a scissors when cutting irregular shapes (curves, radiused corners, etc.) from Coroplast?
