    I can spend $300 on a machine . . . go!

    I bought the cameo for cutting small airbrush stencils and found it to be very easy to use and learn. I figured out the graphics program in a couple of hours of trial and error, and have never used a graphics program before. I have also been very impressed with the level of detail that the machine will produce. I am very pleased with the cameo. great little machine.

    need help choosing cutter and material.

    Well guys, I ordered the cameo to get my feet wet. Thanks to all of you for the help and advice. It made my decision much easier and I'm looking forward to getting my new toy... Will post some pictures of my finished work. Pat.

    need help choosing cutter and material.

    Hey guys, thanks for all the help. I stumbled on a picture of how small the graphtec was cutting stars and yea, I'm sold. I don't have a budget that big yet. I will be picking one up though. because I only need it for really small projects right now, what are your thoughts on the cameo or craft robo? Can vector files be imported to either cutting software? For me noise and speed are not a concern, just detail. Another question I have. When the vinyl roll is listed as "punched", usually on the 15" wide stuff, what does that mean? Vinyl motivations, you said use oracal 651, is that for permanent use? what I'm looking for is to make a stencil that I can remove one piece at a time and paint. Is 651 good for that application, or would I want something like the 810? I've never seen any of it before. Also, you were asking about the water based paints. Parma makes a line called faskolor, which I swear is auto air and createx rebottled and sold for more. and here's the killer, their faskoat nitro sealer... createx matte clear for about 10 times the price. It holds up just fine and I was rediculously hard on my trucks when I tested it out for the first time. Right now I'm just a hobbist and have no experience with anything like this equipment or vinyl. Thanks for taking the time out there, the info is great and lots to think about. Really appreciated. Pat.
  4. This is the third time I've tried to post this so it'll be to the point. I've decided to buy my first cutter and need some help deciding please. It's primary purpose will be cutting small detailed one time use airbrush stencils. I was considering the 34" MH series because of the ability to cut larger projects, but a high detail level is the most important. If anyone has pictures of what the machine can do that would be great, how tight a border around a letter it can do, how much detail on a picture, that kind of thing. Also, I have a question about the paint mask materials for sale. My stencils will be used on everything down to the inside of rc car bodies, so flexibility is most important, and the thinner the better. If it's translucent that would help as well. My paints are primairly water based if that matters. Any help you guys can throw my way would be awesome. Thanks everyone, Pat.
