stickers

So this is a very general post but I have some specific questions... My name is Jordan and I own a screenprint and embroidery shop in Fort Myers FL. We have been in business for about 10 years now. Not a huge shop but we have a manual press, a Workhorse Auto press and a 4 head Tajima. That...

I've done what I feel like is a lot of research because I hate asking a question that is answered by a simple google search so hopefully I've learned enough where I'm not wasting anyone's time. Hopefully I don't ramble too much lol and hopefully this will help someone else because I had to do a...

I cut a decent amount of sheets out on my ucjv300-160, blades still last me a decent amount of time as I only cut 1-2000 sheets per month, and some die-cut stickers. so most of my cutting is still just contour/kiss. The Summa initially sounds like the better option to me, mostly because so many...

Hello all, Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy printable adhesive vinyl rolls for a 60" printer? I'm printing stickers but also need front adhesive vinyl for doing decals for windows. Preferable 60" x 150". Any advice would be appreciated.

I am having a difficult time sourcing any paper-faced adhesive stock (vs. vinyl) in wide format rolls. I have an increasing number of clients who want paper labels. Does such a product exist?

Its...one of those days I can't figure out why our T160 can't seem to stay in alignment for this small sticker job and hoping someone on here can tell me what I should be doing differently. I ran 100ft worth of stickers last week without any issues so Im pulling my hair out trying to figure...

not sure the correct terminology to be using, but effectively I want to contour cut the sticker, then i believer it actually called perf cut a rectangle around the sticker, so that when the job is finished the stickers are basicly just handing onto the vinyl but the corners or something, so that...

Hi guys I am new to the sign making world and to print and cut machines. Getting on well so far learning myself as I go. So noticed after doing quite a few print, laminate and cut stickers that there is always a part of the sheet where the knife hasn't cut through properly, you notice when...

I have been experimenting with making die cut stickers on our Roland VG 540 for a day, and am wondering if it is designed to do so. Here is a video I saw that peaked my interest but I can't find much else on the matter.

Hi all... I'm looking at adding a flatbed cutter to my kit (Circa $100k AUD / $70k USD). Have researched Zund, Esko, Gerber MCT, Summa and various other machines on the market. Trying to weigh up our possibilities of our existing sticker production, being perf cut on our Roland GR-640 (Hit and...

I see all these companies coming out with die-cut stickers and decals, like sticker app, Vinyl Bandits, Rockin' Stickers, etc. What material are they using? Maybe something that doesn't have curl. The media I have tends to curl on the edges after a while. I have an HP Latex 360 and a Canon...

I am looking to buy a color inkjet or laser printer to make outdoor stickers (vinyl, mylar or polyester). Under $500, the more under the better. Printer has to have at least average to above average print quality for graphics. Printer must connect to PC by some sort of cables (I do not use...

Hello, I am looking for the best possible materials for the stickers my company produce. We are making name label stickers - usage is labeling clothes, shoes, food containers, water bottles, toys etc. We use Roland large format printers and Summa cutters. We are looking for a self-adhesive...

Just picked up a new Summa S2 T160 with OPOS-CAM. Upgraded from an old vinyl express Q160. Does anyone here use a Summa for custom die cut stickers? I've previously used a Graphtec FC8600 that had dual positioning for perf cuts. I don't see anything like this on the Summa. The manual...

Aloha, My company is a sticker company. We are using the DC 5SX. I'm looking for a alternative type of vinyl to use for stickers. I like the print quality of the 3M premium cast vinyl, But it is too thin and difficult for the general consumer to apply. I switched to the intermediate vinyl for...

Hey guys! As much as I would like to get a Summa there are no distributors in my country. So I was going for a Graphtec FC8600 54", but dealer is offering a Roland GR 640 64" for USD $2k less. I know it may sound like an obvious one, a bigger machine for less money, but my only concern is if...

I use a Roland VS-540i and I've noticed that if I say, have 100 stickers to print/cut, the plotter won't necessarily cut each sticker in order - for example if I have a row of 10 stickers it'll cut the one on the far right first, then skip ahead to the 4th, then back to the 2nd, then over to the...

I am looking for a reliable wholesale sticker company- for stickers about 2" round, bumper stickers etc. Not paper, but waterproof vinyl. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
