karkess 28 Posted December 8, 2013 Does anyone know if Oracal offers a board with all their colors in actual vinyl attached? Or, how are you guys doing this? Are you making your own? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted December 8, 2013 you can pay for it here or if you go to a show they usually give tem awayhttp://www.uscutter.com/ORACAL-Color-Guide-2012 sometimes you can get one from oracal also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karkess 28 Posted December 8, 2013 Some people have said the books don't give true representation of the actual colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted December 9, 2013 Oracal used to offer them on their website but they didn't the last time I looked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted December 9, 2013 The colors are 100% accurate (they are true swatches). I have a bunch of color charts/books from various manufacturers -- FDC, Avery, 3M, Vector, and also ShineRite (Feller's house brand) and BriteLine (Grimco's house brand) Without color books, you are working blind.

FrznFire07 217 Posted December 9, 2013 that's the same chart I have, works just fine, aside from the crappy lighing in our shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted December 9, 2013 well the wall chart was nicer but book form is great to take to customers to show. Yeah shop lighting is a pain for me to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted December 9, 2013 The old chart used to pull out to several feet long if I recall. I had 1 hung up when I was doing flea markets but it is long gone. Now I have the book like posted but I think mine is a year older than that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn's Design 403 Posted December 9, 2013 That's the same that I got from US Cutter when I ordered my cutter. I got that and the siser color chart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go-C Graphics 856 Posted December 9, 2013 Does your charts have samples of Oralite in them. Mine doesn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted December 9, 2013 Does your charts have samples of Oralite in them. Mine doesn't. I do not see it on mine but may be a special book I just ordered the Oracal side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn's Design 403 Posted December 9, 2013 I think this chart booklet is suppose to have it. http://www.uscutter.com/ORACAL-Digital-Inkjet-Media-Guide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dawn's Design 403 Posted December 9, 2013 They are not that bad high. My customers really like being able to hold it up to the shirt to see what it looks like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted December 9, 2013 The siser doesn't have anywhere close to all the stuff in it. About the oralite I'm guessing you mean the reflective material and if so this chart has it in it http://www.uscutter.com/ORACAL-Color-Guide-2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know when these charts were made but they have got to be a couple years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted December 9, 2013 dated 2012 on the cover. But that may just be a new cover on an old book. Oops, just saw the siser part and yeah they are extremely outdated. I think uscutter has at least 6 regular colors that aren't in the book plus the glitters and some of the other stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karkess 28 Posted December 13, 2013 Actually, I called, I mean, e-mailed Oracal customer service and they UPS'd me a color guide for free. Just received it today and it's the same one US Cutter sells for $10 and is pictured above. I don't understand why these aren't free upon request, even from US Cutter. It's a tool to market and sell their product. But Hooray for Oracal Customer service. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Migsan2011 0 Posted December 17, 2013 Same here. Asked for a few samples as well. No problem and I received much more then I was expecting. Awesome service. Question. Do the sample books change from year to year? Mine is about 2 yrs old now. May have to call again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
