Pepe 1 Posted July 11, 2012 Hi Fellas, Never done a line this long. It's 72" x 7. I was wondering how to apply this, so it comes out straight along the body line. I'm using a copam 2500 for cutting and am not sure if I should order a 15" roll of black and cut it in one piece or order a 24" roll and split it up. What would cut better? Not sure how accurate the Copam can pull back the material to start cutting inside the letters. As for the cake, I'm familiar with reg marks in flexi, but have only done it once with a smaller logo. I would just cut the two colors and lay over each other on the van, right? Using clear packing tape on the reg marks? Any input is highly appreciated P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted July 11, 2012 I would break it up and measure off the body line to keep it straight. I prefer to work with smaller peices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapper 30 Posted July 11, 2012 Get the 24" roll... you'll not fit both sides on a 15" side by side. Just use a top hinge and cut between words like.... Specializing / in Cakes / for all / Occasions. Doing it like this keeps the alignment correct. Peel backing mist app fluid and squeegee. For the cake I'd layer it on the truck and do it wet... so I'd not use clear. Good Luck.

Pepe 1 Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks, and just to clarify. You mean to cut the line "specializing....." side by side on the 24" . Layering: Are the reg marks actually going to the van and later peeled off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Layering: Are the reg marks actually going to the van and later peeled off? Lay out your copy... copy and paste next to each other... Specializing in Cakes for all Occasions. Specializing in Cakes for all Occasions. And send to cutter. Weed... mask and cut in half. Place on side of van and tape along top cut as above. The cake... yep just don't rub them down and pull them up as soon as you can or make pencil line center on design and align that way. Many ways to get the job done. You do fine just break the job down into smaller bits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
