Hi all. Have a small business make skins and covers for devices. But i need some place to buy 3m di-noc film sheets like 122 x 5 meter or smaller pieces instead of a whole rolls. The series i want is metal, fine wood, leather, carbon and matte single color Does anybody know a place it would be nice to know. Now i have been looking all over the internet, could only find wood, metal, and carbon. Now is my question, what is the best alternative to 3m dinoc film single color and brushed metal. what i need i alternative which is also thick like dinoc, and have the same attributes like if your are heating it you can change the form shrinking. Thanks.

Thank you everybody, i will look at these templates. OWJones: this is exactly that kind of stickers that i am looking for, do you know where to find?

Hi everybody. I have a webshop producing skins and basically much more, but I am trying to upload some new products, which should bee funny stickers for macbook, iPad and iPhone, but where do i find these funny vector files? Does anybody know any website where I can buy od download several funny vector files? Thanks in advance

Hi all. Does anybody know if it is possible to buy carbon fiber vinyl in different colors like purple, pink, lime green etc from 3m, avery, oracal or Hexis? I have seen that some are selling skins an covers for I-devices in colored carbon fiber vinyl from 3m, but i can find any place to buy the color carbon fiber vinyl. I can't even find it on 3m website. So please if somebody know a place to buy this colored carbon fiber vinyl be kind to tell me where. Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I have been cutting for a while, but now i also have bought my first large format printer which is a HP Designjet Z6100. What i dont know yet is how to use it for print and cut. Does anybody know a guide or anything else who show me how to do that? I am using signcut x2 for cutting, but what about printing? And can I cut with registration marks through signcut or how does it work? Thanks in advance.

Okay. Thanks for information. But i talk to HP before buying this printer and they told me that this printer could print on vinyl or self adhesive film all that it need was a transparent overlayer after printing. BTW, in my oppinion 196.500,00 DKK dosent sound cheap at all :/

Okay, now I am a bit confused. Can I buy non water resistend ink or what am i gonna doo then?

I have talk to canon denmark and they told me that i have to laminate it with a clear film in order to prevent the peel.

Yes all my cutting models are tested with sign cut to fits the summa calibration that signcut have. But im pretty new to contour cutting, so i dident know how that works or if it is possible at all. The meaning is that my customers can upload an image and then i will print and cut it to fit their tablet, PC og smartphone. I also have Flexi10 pro but it is only for windows, and can I contour cut with flexi10 or which is best for my project? Sorry but I am quiet new to this. :/

I can see that i got the z6110ps 60", which means that i have the build in RIP. When the RIP is build in can I then use Photoshop for the printing part or will caldera, shiraz og ONYZ be a better soloution when I want a print and cut solution for my skins and covers?

Hi Knuckelhead. The company i bought this printer by, told me that is was only the 42" z6100 without built in rip. But luckely when i go to information about the plotter it stand that is is the 60 inch z6100 ps version with build in RIP. When the RIP is build in i dont neew a software whith build in RIP?

Okay. I have vinyl it can print on, but i have to laminate it, which is not a problem. BTW. Do you mean the best software to do this in is flexisign? Problem is that flexisign is souch a cheap software?

Hi everyone. I am running signcut x2 on mac osx lion. i am using inkscape to create vector files in eps format, then signcut can read the files. i am producing skin covers so i am cutting small models a kind of contour cutting i guess (correct me if im wrong). The vinyl i am using and cutting through is 3M Di-noc. But i have had a lot of problems with my creation pcut, but i am not sure that the problems are caused by the plotter, by the vinyl or by the software i am using. Problems is that the plotter is not cutting accuracy every time. For example if i am cutting an iPad skin cover front then it is missing sometimes about 4 mm to the left side. If i then try to cut this ipad front cover skin one more time then it fit correct. what caused this problem is it the creation pcut, signcut or inkscape or the vinyl or can some kind of what did you say a kind of waves with air under the vinyl? It is pretty cheap in 3M di-noc film and very frustrating. Hope somebody can help me as fast as possible. Thanks in advance.

<p>Okay, that was my next question, but you already answered me, i will look after a plotter with a servo motor </p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks. </p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

I dont know anything about graptech cutters. Whats i the price for a graptech cutter and are der other very good alternatives? I donknow much about cutter manufactors other than roland (now) graptech, jaguar, zumma and puma?

<p>Now i understand. </p> <p>Thanks MZ skeeter. </p> <p> </p> <p>Yes yiu ar probably right i have had some troubles with the cutter, but some of the issue was my fault. But i am looking for at new plotter, I would rather prefer a roland or something like that. </p> <p> </p> <p>BTW. there is no vinyl sticking to the knurled roller. </p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

Hi MZ Skeeter I am using 3M Di-noc, which is 1.26 meter, and the cutting wide is 120 cm. is this to wide or. What did you mean by you dont state? Hi Jay. Im am not sure what you mean by the gnurled area of the roller. Sorry i dont understand but will you please try to explain it in other words?

Hi Jay. I have added an image to the gallery, which shows how i am setting the pinch roller. Is the correct, or can it be caused by bad pinch rollers? or can i be caused that i have some kind of small waves on the 3m dinoc vinyl, which is all most looking like that the liner is crimped? Have also attached an image of what i mean about that.

I hav had a little problems with my cutter (creation pcut ct1200) not cut accuracy, sometimes with a miss to one side for about 4 mm, which is still not solved. But now i have tried to reinstall signcut 1.95 for mac osx, and then i saw the RTS, CTS, DTR and DSR which i could activate, but which one of these abbreviations shall i chose and what does they mean? thanks.

Ms Skeeter Thanks a lot you are amazing, hope that will take me through the setup

Why can i not add an image to this topic? BTW. i have created an album which shows the problem i am talking about:

how can i explain, ehh, the variation of the cutting accuracy is different, an example could be. First cut dont have the exact dimensions, all i can doo with this skin is throwing it out. Then i try one more time and then the dimensions of the skin i perfect and it fit perfect. If i then try third time to cut the exact same skin template, it is not cutting accuracy and have wrong dimensions like the first example. It is a bit difficult for me to explain it correct, but i have add som pictures of my problem. White carbon did fit perfectly, and the zebrawooden skin did not fit perfect at the left side.

i have a small business, and want to go a little further with printing on vinyl. Problem is that i don't know what kind of printer i should get. The printer i need must be able to print on vinyl film, most used indoor at some of my skins. The printer should work together with signcut, so i can print after registration marks to fit my actual skincutting models. Can i use a normal wideformat inkjet printer or which kind of printer should i get? thanks.

Hi all. i have som general questions about vinyl printers and vinyl cutters. i am producing skins for some devices, but want to print on some of the skins, but how is it working? can i buy a wodeformat printers and then cut after the printing or how does printers and cutters work together? thanks
