anyway to cut down a 52 inch roll into two 25 inch rolls

anyone know how i can do this without sending it out thx

Put it in a miter saw and cut it in half. I've done this many times, it's crude but it works. You do get a raggedy right edge on one of the resultant rolls, depending on the blade in the miter, but I've never found this a problem either printing or cutting.

Use the miter saw, but wrap some tape around the area that you are going to cut, it should help with the jagged edge somewhat.

Properly done on a roll splitter.
Check with your media distributor, they may have one and offer the service.

My laminator has blades to trim prints or sticky edges, but I have never tried slitting a 50ft roll with it.

 

[decaldude1137]

what laminator are you using

 

[petepaz]

if you can get it to rotate on the laminator hold a razor knife on it till it cuts all the way through. band saw, saws all all will work but the razor knife and laminator will work best. the other options melt the vinyl due to the speed of the blade
