    holographic vinyl

    not sure if it was asked before or if its the same material as what im seeing as reflective vinyl... wasn't seeing any called holographic on the uscutter site but I did see it called that at local hobby shop for cricut brand... have a car club want to order from me for the lower front windshield of their clubs cars so my questions are ... am I calling it correctly for the "pro" web sites or is it called the reflective im seeing ... is the cricut brand as good as say greenstar brand vinyl and if I am calling it correct as holographic and its not on the uscutter site where could I purchase that type in a quality vinyl , hopefully not at a cost of my first born ... thank you for your time...

    holographic vinyl

    cricut is brand hobby cutter and material for the average person you get at places like hobby lobby , michaels and at a.c.moore... I have nothing wrong with oracal , just I have used a lot of greenstar beings it came with the bundle I got with cutter and being new I just grabbed a lot of the brand I got with the bundle , getting oracal as I user up the colors I have of greenstar ... from what you sent I notice there are lots of patters for the holographic ... does oracal have that type of vinyl
  3. I just want to double check and make sure im coming to the correct pricing a 24 x 24 decal for tractor trailer door would be $24. in single color and in 2 color if I have seen correctly is 50%on top of the single color price... totaling $36. ea. I have the pricing on smaller 6-8 inch decals down but is it the same equation on large decals?

    is this correct?

    thanks ... for past few yrs never had anyone ack for anything larger than 10 in ... till recently ..and when I figured it out the way I been .. I was thinking this cant be right .. did a pair of decals at 2ft x 4 ft ... priced it at $96... since then been getting asked to do the large decals someone even called me from over an hr away ... really had me thinking at that point ... I appreciate everyones input ... thanks again

    is this correct?

    have I been wrong this whole time ?? Im pretty sure ive been seeing add length and width then divide it in half to get the pricing ... did I just misunderstand or is that on just smaller decals... if so at what size did calculation change?? id like to have it so in my head I can give an estimate as it seems around here price is first thing they ask

    cutting magnet sheets

    is it possible for me to run a sheet of magnet through me sc to cut outline shapes so that I can apply vinyl decal onto it... I recently sent a handful of decals to mayhem , a junior roller derby team and they sold out fast for next time I was going to send a more broadened variety so that it might be a multi use item as opposed to a 1 time and done item... whats your take on it...

    fridays project

    I purchased a standing rack from ebay cost me like 200 shipped holds 44 rolls .. dosent have an issue holding 50yrd of 2ft ... its awesome , used to have them in a box on its side but I noticed slight rub marks of color plus I let a bit of each roll hang down so it helps to flatten out

    wobbley lines

    just noticed something on my silver vinyl didn't see in other colors I was working on it seems like a shadow about 1/8 inch up for entire cut lines scratched into it ... could only see it on an angle... could blade holder itself be pressing against the vinyl as I cut ...

    wobbley lines

    any specific oil you recommend??... blade dosent look broke but def worn ... ill just have to switch it out , unfortunately out of 45s only have a 60 deg I believe that's the deg

    wobbley lines

    blade spins freely in the holder was few tiny spec on outside wall of blade canal... could a dull blade cause this .... I noticed the gram pressure is a 107 also but I usually run a touch higher than called for at 103... not sure if that would matter

    need help !!!

    recently I found out that a lot of the decals I have , have gotten wet/damp while storing them, prob about 20 I threw away because it seemed to be having mold start now some were fairly dry but damp others severely damp ... all have been made with greenstar vinyl and are single layer/color they all have clear transfer tape and i have layed them out transfer tape down around the room in an attempt to dry them out .... will they still be good after they dry thoroughly or am I just wasting my time and lost about 250 decals

    am i charging enough

    ply is already there .... just have to letter it ... just single color lettering ... my theory was I have 2ft wide vinyl to cut with a 2ft square decal is $25.. 4 2ft squares is 100 ... banner blank was just under 40 with shipping ... but also im installing to the ply that's already attached to sign ... keep thinking im undercharging but then arguing with myself about it .... gotta love being a noob lol
  25. im making another sign for a local business ... I did a banner a few months ago 8ft wide by 32in. folded in half wrapped around a painted sheet of ply. ( 8' x 16'' on each side ) pond fish ... plants foods supplies I charged 140. and now he wants me to letter the actual painted plywood ... no banner . its a ridiculously easy sign , just single color txt like last time tropical fish .... and also plants foods supplies I said 100 I figured by material I used at $1 per in. just like the small car decals local kids want from me ... am I shooting myself in the foot or am I figuring my prices right...
