  1. Yeah I would go with a nice Powder Coat for a truly asthetically pleasing look - I know this is an older post but I was browsing and in fact I had a customer do the very same thing and it came out terrific!

    VendettaVinyl - is a great name by the way!


  2. Without more information like,

    -Operating System

    -Cutting Software

    -Type of Cable used to connect cutter to computer

    -Type of Cutter

    It will be hard to point you into the right direction. Sounds like your assuming the settings should be exactly the same from computer to computer this can sometimes lead to a mistake in settings.


  3. Hockeygirl is right - you should try to tweak the cutter because 651 cuts like butter and should weed even easier. Make sure you don't have waste vinyl bits built up inside the blade holder and that your blade depth is properly set - the blade should just be visible and a good way to test the blade depth is to take the blade holder in your hand and just run it across some vinyl with moderate pressure. Check to see the quality of the cut if it is satisfactory then stick it back into the machine and away you go otherwise continue to test and adjust. We always say half the thickness of a credit card for blade depth as well if that helps.

    ;D


  4. For a vehicle and if long term application is intended you may want to look at a higher performance vinyl for a vehicle like 751 truthfully...

    ;D


  5. Checking the comm settings on the laserpoint was key - something really BannerJohn brought up first. For everyone out there the comm setting most often used are here in one of these attached pics. Also you can see the default settings I recommend - no weed line is good for the MH and Creation P-Cut / Laser Point as well. Anyway give these a gander, also the .025 offset can be helpful. Sometimes disabling the cut order in SignBlazer can also help avoid freezing and other hiccups...
