This is a great job!!! I have used my Epson 1280 for years on transfers and have an Epson dedicated for dyesub. I have loved them! I, however, have not tried this idea! This is a must to try, thanks for sharing the idea!  |

Hi guys, I'm looking for some opinions on the best printer to buy for making the decals. Budget roughly $100 - $200.
Thanks

Office depot has the Epson 1100 wide format (durabrite pigment inks) for instant $50 off, so it was only 149.99 and Frog Juice as well |

I've read the first 7 pages of the thread and didn't find the answer to my question so here it is....
Once the vinyl is printed on, how do you line it up on the vinyl plotter to cut the shape to match?
Thanks!!!

I think, starting on page 35 of this PDF document, there is a brief lesson on contour cutting..Go to the link I put on here below, and download it. Scroll to page 35. Have fun! http://support.uscutter.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=42 |

Looks like the Epson Workforce 1100 is back up to 200
I bought mine from Tigerdirect last weekend at 150 and now its not available from TigerDirect.
I got I guess.
Even at 200 its still worth it.

This is a great thread!
Is it possible to use something like orajet media and epson inks with the frogjuice and have good results or do you have to use a vinyl designed for inkjet use?
Keep up the awesome work guys and gals!

I found a epson 1400 on sale. It comes with Claria Hi-Definition Ink. Will this work well for the printable vinyl. As well............do most prefer the spray on laminate ( frog juice ) instead of the sheets. I don't have a laminate machine, so if the spray works better I'd go that way/
thanks

I have an epson 4800 running the factory k3 ultrachrome inks, use inkjet technologies matte printable vinyl and then laminte by hand using the big squeegee and cheap oracal 200 laminate. cost per square foot is high, but works fine indoors and out. ive had some on racecars for up to a year and they still look fine. i wouldnt do anything major with it, but it works when you need something fast and dont have access to a solvent system and cut wont work. |
