I have the 2017 pantone coated book- i see that Orange 021C is a base color, but haven't located the color swatch. I also have the Oracal book i will keep looking.

VERY nice price- what software do you use to run it?

Full length semi tractor decal install?? *Updated with pics of all 3 trucks 5-12*
Jburns replied to 88x's topic in General Help
congrats! -
yes-- the roland you mentioned should be able to handle that project with clean results-- also for fine detail you will find Cast vinyl -751-- cuts and weeds much nicer than 651. while dialing in, practice on scrap with a few small square shapes, and Arial bold letters like TEST for offset. Be sure the cutting strip doesn't have gouges in it.

My experience, the 15 inch 751 that I order comes in its own box - its punched vinyl. Sometimes the box is an oracal one- other times its in a plain brown box.

Looks Good dude! I like the silver outline. -
Ok then-- make black layer, and include the crop marks as black vinyl-- weed and then apply whole thing to white vinyl. - Place in machine then cut the next layer, which would read the crop marks and then cut the squares. verify that your software has this capability-- reading crop marks, and transferring a "bank" of decals to the white will be the hardest parts--i.e. The other solution may be to have them printed ( thermal / eco-solvent) if they are for outdoor. try and install the finished product yourself also - see if end result would be acceptable to your customers.

Would this be for a couple of designs for yourself on your vehicle, or would you wish to offer for sale? If its your own vehicle - you can just layer it on the bumper / window-- easiest. If you want to layer them in your shop, t--o ship out you can try with the parchment paper method -- search forum (by member Wildgoose). If you want to cut and weed a grid of decals - overlay them all on say 24 inch white at once--THEN contour cut 3 x 11--- that will be tricky - Can your cutter and software read "Crop" marks? If you try and guess on the origin for final finish cut - the alignment for the squares wont be precise.

I have heard good things about using a wall paper steamer---but I haven't had to try myself.

I have a Vision 1624 I picked up at auction-- - (smaller 16" x 24") I have only ran some X/Y and Z movement tests Probably going to get the software for it later this year..(1K). My experience thus far is that they make heavy duty machines- and they are based out of Phoenix for support.- but not sure if they make a 4 x 8 machine.

I think so in my experience- do you see the option to change it, and what are the units mm or inches? -
Buying a second cutter - graphic format issues
Jburns replied to 1rogerl2's topic in General discussion
In your third sentence- you mention other cutters that are cheaper... i think after using the graphtec for so long...a thousand files..you may be displeased with lower tier machines performance. why not the 6000-60? -
Welcome!~ I second what Mz Skeeter said.

What are your favorite brands of vinyl and why?
Jburns replied to DScustomprint's topic in General discussion
Oracal 751 and 3M Scotchcal 220 - They are more expensive but weed easily. -
Oh Cool. I had no idea that could be automated- good job!
-
my experience -I am pretty happy with the Rototrims I picked up 48, and two 26 inch units second hand - quality seems good.

TITAN 3 68'' CUTTER CUTS THE SAME JOB
Jburns replied to steinsdesigns's topic in TITAN Series Vinyl Cutter Discussions
thanks for the update- I was thinking it was not deleting the job in production manager or something. -
umm - yeah. You will have to manually jog the material out twelve inches, and then manually run the cross cut option. A guillotine cutter with a 12 inch grid would be much faster. But that is a terrific machine.
