How do you seperate your decals/stickers

[CrAkD]

I'm starting to do a lot of stickers in bulk I've been cutting them by hand with a rotary trimmer but I'm thinking there's gotta be a way to use my plotter to help in this process. I have a gerber hs15+ and a gcc expert 24 lx.

Iv'e been using one of these:

They have a major design flaw though. The trimmer assembly head keeps breaking apart and they keep sending me new ones. They say they are working on a new part that will solve the problem and told me they should be available this spring.

I just grab the sticky part and peel it off the non sticky part.

trim on

i trim decals by layering each cut on top of itself. 100 decals 2"x8" square cut in 10-15 minutes. one xacto and one big blue ruler..
that royal electric thing is a waste of 3000 bucks. i would rather buy something else with that kind of money.
worst case? i have two 42" "school" paper cutters that work awesome.

Haha that's how I was doing it before I got the trimmer. 250-500 4x2" takes a long time tho.

Why not use the hs15 to diecut them ?

 

[Shadowglen]

don't you have a perf cut option with your software or plotter?

I have the perf wheel I don't know how to use it. Kinda new to this I'm using flexi 8.1

When you are cutting thousands of decals by hand every week, a $3000.00 trimmer is a god send. It's not perfect but it saves vast amounts of time.
