Wondering what is the best way to make these. Seems like a simple two layer (black and yellow) but the silver edges I'm not sure. These would see heavy outdoor useage. Maybe printing would be best?

Can you print on silver?

MH721 problem, blade not lifting, z-chip?
all systems replied to b12yan12's topic in USCutter Refine Cutting Plotter Discussion
I replaced my Z-chip with a warranty one from USCutter and it worked instantly. Also bought two extra chips from them for $4 something each just in case it gets zapped again. But so far I agree dryer sheets are the fix for static. My biggest cut (which killed my machine originally) was 107" x 24" and I just wiped it with a dryer sheet and had no trouble. -
Awesome thank you

I was wondering if a two layer vinyl cut decal can be laminated for outdoor use? Basically so if it gets washed by hand, the text (small letters) wouldn't get pulled off. This is for a small decal like a car dealership puts on the back of a car.

I bought my MH-871 specifically to do this. This was my first project and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I did both sides and the front as well as the back. Now I know why sign shops charge so much for something that seems like it would be so simple. Very labor intensive although I learned a lot of things that would make doing this much easier next time.

I had the same issue with my MH-871 only it got worse. Grounding the unit didn't help. Worked great on small stuff and then went to cut a 9 foot long graffic and it stopped about 5 feet into it. Reset the cutter and started over, this time it started cutting all kinds of lines and ruined the vinyl again (blade would not lift). Replaced the Z Axis chip and tried again only this time I wiped the vinyl down with a dryer sheet and put the sheet inside the roll of vinyl and it worked fine. Definately a lot of static is created when the cutter is unrolling the vinyl.

Thumbs up to 'Howard' at USCutter. My MH-871 got static zapped and I talked to Howard at USCutter on the phone. He sent out a Z axis chip under warranty and now I'm up and running again. Thanks!

FDC 4200 I dont have much experience with vinyl yet but I know most sign shops use this for vehicle graffics around here.

I bought my first rolls from http://www.specialty-graphics.com/ and they arrived the next day, prices were good too.

Purchasing Today...the GoldCut? Do you like it?
all systems replied to CRepetti's topic in Pre-sale questions
I'm not familiar with the 34" Goldcut but my MH-871 has "Goldcut" printed on the motherboard so I would think its the same thing. -
Single job for bid...

I could do it for you but I dont have any grey vinyl or that shade of blue. Wouldn't mind getting some grey (can always use it for other projects) but the blue? Whats your timeline on this? -
Thats pretty cool. So is the black part blasted and painted and the white is still a mirror?

MH721 problem, blade not lifting, z-chip?
all systems replied to b12yan12's topic in USCutter Refine Cutting Plotter Discussion
My MH-871 did the exact same thing last week only mine was grounded. USCutter is sending me a z-chip under warranty but they also have them for dirt cheap on their website so I ordered a couple extra's. -
I cut this on my 34" MH-871. The small letters are 1/8" tall and just starting to lose crispness. I learned after I cut this that when cutting small stuff, to slow the machine down all the way and it cuts a little better.

What is a "order number"?
all systems posted a topic in USCutter Refine Cutting Plotter Support Requests
I'm trying to submit a support ticket and its asking for the 'order number' which I have no clue what it is. What is it? -
What is a "order number"?
all systems replied to all systems's topic in USCutter Refine Cutting Plotter Support Requests
Thats funny because I entered '1' as my order number. Anyway I dont have a order number because I bought from USCutter on Ebay. Just spoke to USCutter on the phone and they are taking care of the problem. -
Chemical etching or sandblasting? Either way why would the bottle blow up?
-
Yup I was doing it completely backwords. Thanks!

I'm doing some 3 layer decals (black, white and red) After I weed the first layer and put the second layer on I have trouble removing the transfer tape without pulling the whole decal off the backing. I'm using GreenStar Layflat Clear Transfer Tape, it seems like maybe its too sticky?

Trade Mark Logos

They should supply a logo file and its perfectly legal. -
Hi everyone I just registered and have some questions. I have a small HVAC company and want to re-letter my van. So I'm looking for a decent cutter to just do occasional van lettering, yard signs and trade show graphics all for personal use. I was looking at the MH-721, is that a decent machine to do basic stuff? Maybe some layered decals would be the most I would ask it to do. Also I've read so much stuff on this site about software that my head is spinning. When you buy a USCutter machine does it come with all the software to get it up and running? I have dozens of questions but will leave it at that for now. Here's a picture basically showing what I want to do to my van...

Thats good to hear because I found the MH-871 with free shipping and it was cheaper than the Mh-721 so I bought it. 4 years ago I paid $450 to have my van lettered and they had the whole thing kind of messed up so this cutter will save me quite a bit of cash and frustration. Its funny all the requests that I've gotten already once people heard that I'll be able to do vinyl lettering and decals.
