    Sister-In-Laws Back window

    Thats a clean looking sign, I like the flowers, did you draw them yourself or download the eps?

    Re-using vinyl banner

    Im fairly new to vinyl cutting and have been asked to re-design some banners for a local drama company. They have given me the old banners that I have sat and picked the old vinyl off, but it has left a ghost imprint of the old vinyl which isnt going when I scrub. Any ideas or is this the end for the vinyl banner?

    Car Window Design

    That looks great, nice and clean. Im in the process of designing what I want on my vehicle, you have me thinking with the white border it stands out great on a window.

    need this cuttable

    can someone explain what the difference is between these two files? Im quite new to cutting and would probably have taken that first image into signblazer and just cut the colours and layer them.

    Thicker lines needed

    Terry: What size did you cut that image? I need to test my cutter on doing an image with quite thin lines, as some times the blade will lift things if the cut is really fine. Would like to cut that image at the same dimensions, if you have a SignBlazer file that is the same size could you share it?

    My first sign, shop window design

    Yeah, thats the reason I got into cutting, I got some quotes from people in the area to do the shop front (more windows still to do) and the mpv, it worked out better for me to have a go myself then start doing other bits after that. Already got another job from people seeing the sign thats up. My wife runs the store, I work full time in marketing and media design so have quite a good eye for what can work and know illustrator and other packages too.

    My first sign, shop window design

    Thanks for the comments and tips. I used a paint pen on the inside of the window and applied the vinyl to the outside. The line was drawn straight but my wife who was doing the "Left abit... Up abit... down abit..." job had to serve a customer so I lost my helper and ended up doing it on my own.
  8. Thought I would show my first piece of work, this site has helped me loads over the past few weeks. The sign is all 2 layer, black with silver letters or different colours for the icons. As you can see I layered the lettering by hand using wet application before applying to the surface. The vinyl was applied to the window by wet application, all went well apart from the line "Food and Accessories" where my registraion lines on the window werent straight!!! Let me know what you think,

    Need some advice ... best way to do this?

    Just had a spare bit of time so have had a crack at how I would re-draw that pepper image, Im still new at cutting so others should have a look over the eps, I have done the image so the black is the solid background, then colours layered ontop. Not had a close look but it may need some tidying up also. Pepper.eps Pepper.eps

    Gel Dome Decals Anyone?

    The domes look great, I'm looking for a UK supplier, but most websites dont have prices on. Got me thinking about a few ideas, as long as it works out at a decent price I think I will have a go.

    Some shirts I have done

    Stunning designs, I love the "B.I.G, PAC, JMJ, and ODB" design, did you draw that or get it from somewhere? I would like to make one of them.
  12. So is the advantage of using a teflon squeegee that you can apply more pressure?
  13. OK, I admint Im new to all this, but whats the deal with all these different squeegee's? I've just done my first big cut and application, I used a liquid mixture that I done myself (washing up liquid and water), and an old credit card as a squeegee. All seems to have gone well and looking to buy more vinyl based on feedback from my first job, the place Im buying from sell's loads of different squeegee's, do I buy one? which one and whats the advantage over others.
