  1. when i send the design (its a rectangle with the corners rounded) to cut it will always finish like in the picture (red circle) and the line should cut where the green line goes, i did a test cut (from the machine) and it made the square and diamond shape cut fine, i checked the design and its fine, i tried with the pen and plain paper and the drawing was correct, i checked with cutting pressure with 800g, 400g, 200g, 45g and all finish the same, i have always used redsail but tried liyu with the same end i dont know what may cause this since the design is fine, doing a test cut is fine and everything i try ends fine, but when i start to cut the job, it ends like that. i have the SC uscutter machine and using SignBlazer v6.0.5

    machine wont cut as desired

    my cutter is a SC UScutter and i read that i should use liyu drivers (before it was redsail) with signblazer. the exposed blade is fine as i checked that from the start and doing the cut tests i barely saw the marks in the backing paper. "add a little over cut in your cutting software." i havent made this but i think i should try this too.

    Action tac have expiring date?

    I bought this action tac from uscutter a Long time ago and i want to use it with a screen protector of my smartphone so i can place it correctly but since i bought it more than 5 years ago, will it still work the same?
  4. i was making a decal in 2 parts, the first one was cut fine, but in the second part, when i try to cut it, it will make 2 diagonal lines making that part useless and it doesnt cut it like i want. i have used the drivers of RedSail RS1120C (been using this all the time) and Copam CP2500 but i still get that line cut (attaching image of the cut) i am attaching the file here too to see if someone can figure out whats wrong with it (i made the size smaller so i can upload it, but i am cutting it to the size around 64 x 35". I am using a uscutter SC serie cutter. Untitled-2.eps

    Translucent black vinyl

    how does it look with light from behind? i want to know how it looks using black translucent black vinyl on a iluminated sign
  11. Here where i work, a guy was installing a paper that looks like frosted glass, its not vinyl (doesnt feel like vinyl when i touch it) and as far as i know, the price of the vinyl here is around $7.50 a meter, the frosted vinyl is very expensive compared to that and the guy installing it said it was paper, anyone knows about it? Or is there a cheaper vinyl brand that sells frosted vinyl? Thanks.
  12. as the tittle says, lets say i have a job of a decal with 30" x 90", how do you make them? i was told to leave 1" between the cuts and overlap them but i dont know about this method.
  13. Thanks a lot, that link helped me.
  14. I use ..... forgot name, it's the one that doesn't has support anymore and is free, with element in the name. I have the cd of corel 3 or 5, forgot it, came with the plotter. I wanted to cut and ship them so im not the one installing and the customers would have trouble installing them.

    screen protecters

    i used oracal 641 clear on a phone, it got scratched very fast while my GF put the phone inside her purse =\ Is there any vinyl scratch resistant or something like that? i would love if there would be one like Skinomi's ones lol
  22. I know someone (not really a friend, just went together to a language class) that wants this image (attached) in vinil. how much should i charge for this image (in 6 colors) and the vectorizing? i used a tool here and it says $155 but thats kinda high price i think.
  23. $165 + vectorizing? or with vectorizing incluided?

    My Pricing Calculator

    i think if u put 1 in the QTY with 5H and 37W, complex 8, 1 color, u would need to put a 1 in 36" since its bigger than normal ones, that way it will give your $35 + 15 since its bigger than 36", if you use the 23", you will get a +14, if you put a 1 in both 23" and 36", that means you have 2 decals, that would mean 2 in QTY. you need to fill the column A to E (mandatory), then if its a specialty vinil, or the decal is smaller than 6x6 or you use fluorecence color, add a 1 below it, if its bigger than 23" but smaller than 36", add a 1 below the 23", if its bigger than 36" add a +1 below it, its easy to understand =) Please correct me if i am wrong

    for how long can i store the roll of vinyl?

    the tittle says it all, just the vinyl, non cut vinyl, as there has been a thread about how long it will last WITH the app tape already. Thank you.
