I have gotten permission from large companies to use their videos in my classroom (I teach firearms classes) presentations. But never tried for logos, motos, etc.

I have searched here and on Youtube, but can't find a good toutorial on how to do "knockout" in Vinylmaster LTR
What I need to do is to have some text, and a border around the text that is seperate, but no layered. So the text would need to be cut out and just the border sould be seperate, if that makes sense. It would be the same this if I have a square background of one color, and text of another color and the text cutout of the square so it wouldnt be layered. I need to bea able to not layer the vinyl so it is not so thick. Thanks.

40 minutes ago, Wildgoose said:Biggest problem with the 631 is actually getting it up off the carrier. Especially with small graphics, so that's the reason for the high tack. HT55 also has extra glue to help it reach down into the matt finish and get it to transfer. It comes off the vinyl on the wall about as good as anything else. If you do much of that then you already know how big a PIA any wall vinyl application is.
I have never used 631, except for paint stencils, and those were small. And since paint stencils are reverse weeded, I didn't have any problems with regular transfer paper on it.

Thanks all. Going to order some tonight!

2 hours ago, MZ SKEETER said:UScutter is telling you correctly. Oracal HT55 is made for Oracal 631 vinyl. which has a matte finish. Some tapes will not stick to matte finish vinyl.
ORATAPE HT55 High Tack Decorative Film Transfer Tape for 631 VinylSpecifically Designed to be the Best High Tack Tape to Pick up Matte Finish and Small Details, yet not Damage your Wall for Indoor Applications! Thanks for the info. Would it be too sticky for Oacal 631 on smaller cut decals to go on glass? If so, what would you recommend for 651?

US Cutter tells me to use HT55 on Orocal 631. It's a high tack transfer tape, but I'm wondering if it will be too high a tack and pull the graphic off the wall. Waht are you guys using. I need to order some here soon.
I see one of the Rtapes says its made for wall graphics, but they are out of the 14" which i wanted. Thanks all.

I would like to start collecting fonts and graphics/clip art as I need it for vinyl cutting. I'm sure there are plenty of places out there to buy the stuff. Can you guys tell me where is your favorite places on the net to buy from? Probably would want to find collections, like on CD, but certain sites for single items would be good also. Thanks all...

5 minutes ago, Primal Decals said:the led lights i got came with strong adhesive on one side,,
Not that read through this whole thread ( I got in early) I would have done a couple of thing differently. I didn't get a remote, which in my case would be great for on/off. I may go back and find another strip of lights with a remote and possibly some stronger adhesive. The lights were cheap enough and it really works great. Thanks Primal!

Just now, Dakotagrafx said:on the camper awning and the truck bed I used a nasty silicone adhesive to adhere it - neither one has moved since. the awning did the same thing you experienced before I did that
Yeah, not sure that will be necessary for the cutter. Double sided tape should work just fine.
-
I have been using mine and they work good. Only problem I am having is that the sticky film on the back isn't sticky enough and keeps dropping down off the cutter. I guess I can get some sticky two sided tape and try that.

I am running VM Ltd and don't remember seeing the option you speak of. Maybe not possible with Vinyl master?
-
What a great tip! Thanks so much for posting this. It will save tons of vinyl in the long run, and is much easier then then the way I was doing it.
-
Very nice!
-
I guess it depends on the quality you want. I''m still a hobyist at it. I have more in good spray guns than you have in your whole setup.
-
Thanks for the info. I wondered if I could cut stripes long enough for the length of a car.

10 hours ago, Guest Tom said:Ok, I've been using VinylMaster Cut for a few months now. I always use the "place registration marks" option for multicolored designs, right in the design page rather than in the spooler (which adds 4) as I only use the top 2. I've been getting the 4 pointed shape with a circle in the middle. This is fine. However, lately, I must have accidentally changed their settings, as they aren't visible anymore when I add them. They're there, but they are squares on a 45 that are only visible in wireframe mode. I want my original settings back! Anyone know what I did, and how to fix it?? Thanks!
How are you only getting two registration marks in the design page? It always places 4 of them there. Also, I would like to change my stars to squares or rectangles. Is there a wat to do this?

How long in length can I expect my SC34 to cut straight lines without wandering?
Thanks!

I do hydrographics. Its a giant learning curve, and very expensive to even get into. Basically, to get into a business the right way, its about 30-40 thousand dollars, and tons to learn. Just the training runs about $2000 most places. Its a very cool process though.

5 hours ago, Primal Decals said:I got them off ebay.Very simple to install and a major help. i think i got like 16 feet of it .you can use the whole roll powered by the power supply. great seller and will take care of you ..
.The lights were here ...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flexible-LED-Light-Lamp-Strip-5M-Waterproof-300-LED-3528-SMD-Cool-White-DC-12V-/142112530655?hash=item21169120df:g:oR0AAOSwFdtXzTTV
And from the same seller the power supply.. has to be this voltage and amps only.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Volt-5-Amp-12V-5A-DC-AC-Adapter-Charger-Power-Supply-Cord-LCD-Monitor-New-/272244662292?hash=item3f630be014:g:GoYAAOSw9VZXOZlM
The strip of leds have lines on it that tell you where you can cut them which was every 2 inches... Just cut on the copper line and then solder the power cord to it and protect the solder part and install with the already applied adhesive that is on the back..make sure to clean you surface with alcohol. they dont get hot and wont fall off either.Completely out of the way.,I did this cause igot tired of trying to use a clip on light etc to see how my cuts were doing during the process..Now its easy peazy to see ...... It is very easy ... ill add more pics after they are uploaded in a sec..
Nice. I'll go and get some. Like you, it's hard to see what is going on when cutting. This will be nice! Thanks again!

Anyone familiar with this font collection?

Seems awful cheep in price considering when I go to some sights, they want more than the cost of this collection for one font.
Thanks all.
