    Need some help with BN-20 contour cut

    Well @Dakotagrafx and @MZ SKEETER thanks for your help. I did have my blade set WAY too deep. It was less than half a CC before, but like you said, that’s not good to go by. Thanks for your help, it’s cutting beautifully now. also to anyone else who has this issue in the future, you may think your blade depth is good, but if you’re having an issue, it’s too deep.

    Need some help with BN-20 contour cut

    I’m going to give that a shot right now. I’m going to order some extra ink right now just to have some on hand, good idea. Thanks for the tips, I will keep on the maintenance for sure.

    Need some help with BN-20 contour cut

    Awesome, I will go try it right now, thank you! Also, these probably won’t have a transfer tape on top of them, but would squeegeeing still help?

    Need some help with BN-20 contour cut

    Hey everyone i recently purchased a new BN-20 from USCutter. I also have purchased Orajet 3165. When I contour cut, I can not get the sticker off of the backing paper. I can weed the sticker easily, but when I try to actually peel the sticker off, it pulls the backing paper also. Common sense would say the Cut Force is too high right? Well I went down on Cut force 1gf at a time until it wouldn’t cut through the vinyl. So I was at 37gf cut force and it wouldn’t cut the vinyl. 38 and it would cut too much of the backing paper so I couldn’t get the sticker off. Next, I tried to adjust my blade depth and try everything all over again. I came up with the same issue. I put a new blade in and have the same issue. My blade is out about half of a CC thickness. I am using VersaWorks 6. any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? thanks!

    Cutout rubber design on hats question

    I may have to use a simplified version of my logo for the hats then! I appreciate your help. I'm going to practice a little bit more. I have some extra hats just in case.

    Cutout rubber design on hats question

    Hey I've been really busy lately, so I just got around to trying out the brick. It is a tough cut. I'm going to try a new blade maybe. It seems to cut deep enough most places, but corners it seems to not be cut through enough.

    Cutout rubber design on hats question

    Thank you! That is exactly what it is. I'll be putting my logo on a few hats this way for something different until I can save for an embroidery machine thanks again!
  8. Hey everyone My friends company got these new hats, the logo is rubber, but its cut out like it was cut with a vinyl cutter. Does anyone know how this is done, or what material is used? I'll attach an imgur album with some pictures because it's kind of hard to explain. Thanks for any help! http://imgur.com/a/YlSglmX

    A few questions about installing on vehicle paint

    Nice idea. I was thinking about going further towards the light and taking the light out and trimming it inside the hole and putting the light back, but like you said, it won't be centered in the bottom. I was also thinking about making it stop at that bottom intention so I don't have to go too low, and it won't be as obvious if it's not centered. That's true, maybe I'll try that when I have a day off, thanks for the idea!

    A few questions about installing on vehicle paint

    So I guess I'm going to go ahead and order some 751 in the color I want. I'll wait until tomorrow to order in case any of you have suggestions on something else to use. Depending on how long it takes to get here, I may try to install next week, and I'll keep you guys updated. First I have to work on getting the original 4x4 sticker (I'm not calling it a decal) off. @Dakotagrafx when I was looking for an image to use as an example, I was searching Google and a thread came up with you in it from I believe 2014, and it had your truck, so I was hoping you would reply haha.

    A few questions about installing on vehicle paint

    That turned out really good! So did you end up taking it off and replacing it with something else? Did you only post the picture here when you got the letter?? Luckily, the design I am doing is my own logo :), my truck is going to be " Rooster Edition. I have lots of ideas that are not "over the top. It's crazy to me that you got the letter. I see so many small decal websites with these "bed decals" selling the ram head ones. I'm thinking about trying to do it with some cheap vinyl, but what would suck is when I get it on good, I'll know in my mind I have an inferior product on my truck.

    A few questions about installing on vehicle paint

    I won't heat the bottom crease. I'm thinking, I may be able to cut the whole thing perfect so I don't have to mess with the fender much. I was out looking at it and I think i can squeeze it between. Do you have any tips on how to keep it straight? Just the basic hinge method? Also I've never used knifeless, does it fine with regular 751, or only wrap vinyl?

    A few questions about installing on vehicle paint

    Oh I plan on making extras for sure The black strip is going to have some design in it, so knifeless tape wouldnt work to well for me. I've never worked with wrap vinyl, can I use it on my cutter just the same as cast? Edit: knifeless may work. It may work for one of my other projects as well, again something I haven't used.
  14. Hey everyone I got a new truck the other day and I want to add some decals on the paint. I want to add a vertical decal on the back of the bed, like in the image attached. The other attached image is the same bed style as my truck (neither of these are my truck, just internet pictures). Now when I add it, I may go over the wheel well fender area a little, which is what worries me. I don't want to have the contour/body line of the fender pull the bottom of the decal to the side, ya know? I was thinking heating lightly with a heat gun would help. I was thinking 751 would be the best for me to use. Any suggestions?

    New to HTV, questions.

    Hey everyone You l have helped me a ton, now I have another question. I am going to purchase some Siser Easy Weed. How does this cut compared to regular vinyl? Do I need to cut faster, slower, heavier, lighter? I know weeding can be a little more difficult. Is there anything special I need to know about? I'm going to buy a cheap eBay heat press with hat attachment. I am not making things to sell, just for personal use and to play with. What shirts and hats are good to press? What's a good source for shirts and hats?? Thanks everyone!
