Question ORACAL 751 070 Gloss Black Out of stock everywhere?

3m was having issues with black too. Which of course made Avery go out of stock... Seems to be better for the two of them, 3m gets made once a month now and they just make enough to fulfill their backorders.

Something about the pigments for black, I guess it's now affecting oracal as well.

7125 / 7725 is a great alternative, albeit more expensive.

The Gerber I'm told is the same as 3m 7125, just branded under Gerber.

I was told the same about Gerber. Just got 5 yards of it on UPS and we are testing it now. If it work well I'm going to get 2 or 3 rolls.

Arial - it's almost helvetica
I don't get what there is to test. This stuff has been around for ages and is all virtually the same. This all seems silly

I have had some brands, like FDC Lumina I just can't find a good cut pressure/speed combo for. I can get them workable, but still very draggy when weeding greatly increasing weed time and mistakes.

I've used a lotta FDC in a pinch. While it's a little more brittle when weeding, like notareal said, it's 99.9% all the same. If you're experiencing problems, I feel you have other issues.

It's not just Oracal, In 2022 so far I've had back-orders from 3M, Arlon, General Formulations, Mac-Tac, R-tape/Nekoosa, Avery, and a few 'generic' products we use.
