Welcome aboard bsosheriff. With six years experience we look forward to your jumping right in and helping out. There is a member here, I think it might be Go-C Graphics that is doing edge lit bases. C

Welcome aboard Jenge. What cutting program do you have, and what computer operating system are you using? When you send a job, do you get any message back - like hardware not found or anything? Will it do test cuts for you? Cal

Welcome aboard, honey! Cal

Welcome aboard Brian. Looks like you are planning to have a pretty fun class; it should spark a lot of creativity in those students. The only piece of that equipment that I can speak to is the SC 25" cutter. I have one and it has been a reliable workhorse - but, and this is a large but - it is quite noisy. IMHO, you will not be teaching anything over that when it is cutting out a project. Are you well versed in AI or another design program? Cal

Thanks bikemike... Cal

Hey Live Wire, I do not understand the connection between motorcycles and life behind bars; but thanks for contributing! Cal

Welcome aboard TXDecalWerx, Cal

Glad to see you back Go-C; glad that the wife and everything is A-OK, Cal

Glad to hear this! We lost power about 1:00 pm Monday on just got it back yesterday around 11:00 am. Cal

Go-C and Jburns, unfortunately I have run out of likes today. Rest assured, I would be giving you the thumbs up if I could...

Thanks for those follow ups kainth. It is these follow ups that really help us out to know what might help us is we get in a similar circumstance. Cal

Please check in when you can Arty, you too Go-C and everyone else down in Florida. On Friday we drove home (middle Georgia) from Tampa. Traffic flowed pretty good until Gainesville and then was stop and go to the state line. Please check in with us, let us know you are ok... Cal

A printer maybe? Cal

I have not done coroplast, but I have done a bunch of signs (Metal) and mirrors. I would (I think) approach coroplast the same way. I use a large cardboard type of cutting mat, similar to this: http://www.uscutter.com/Self-Healing-Cutting-Mat I use this just to lay my project on and center things up with the grid. When I do my stencil, I place registration marks at the outside centers. When I apply the application tape, I make it long on one end that I make the "top end". Then I use parchment paper and hinge it like 'goose has shown in the past. This allows me to lay the vinyl down on the project, center it up with the grids and when I have it placed I then secure it with the long end of application tape. The rest is as shown in 'goose's video. Works good for me. Now, for coroplast I might investigate getting a piece of plexiglass the same or close to the same thickness. Just a piece 3-4" wide and a couple inches wider than the coroplast. I would tape this to the cutting mata so that the coro was centered where needed and use this both as a "stop" for the coro and as a leveling tool to fasten the application tape to. I hope this all makes sense. Cal

Way to go! Cal

That is too bad, it was a good looking job. I agree with Jburns regarding the repaint for the van. Reading your first post over I am guessing the customer isn't going to do that, in fact he may blame you for the paint peeling off. Good luck getting this situation resolved, Cal

Welcome aboard, Cal

Is it still cutting other images fine? This was just a one off design that doesn't cut right? How about the rolls of vinyl this was cut from, have you cut other stuff from those same rolls without issues? Cal

Well, you have the most expensive tool! Before you buy that pancake - let me hook mine up and run a few tests for you. By itself it would be woefully inadequate for the job, but if you are only going to do a few it "might" work for you. My concern with it, as stated above, is that it will have to run constantly. Run constantly = heat; heat = water; water = wet sand; wet sand = plugged gun. Wet sand in the cabinet seems to "never" dry out. It might be a week or so before I can do this, I am heavily involved in a remodeling job right now. Cal
