Shanx 0 Posted May 8, 2014 We have a Graphtec 8000-130, and FlexiSign Pro 10.5.1 1806 I cut some small decals regularly out of chrome 2" x 2". My goal is to CUT / weed / mask them, and THEN contour cut to split them up making them nice & presentable to hand off. NOTE: Cut vinyl, not printing. I feel i've reached the end of my Google rope trying to figure out how to do this. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMopar64 47 Posted May 9, 2014 I don't know much about this. I've only conture cut printed stickers But what if you made a printed layout with reg marks and put it over your tape Then use it to set up your conture cut.... Might work MM64 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted May 13, 2014 You're wanting to cut apart decals that have all been weeded and masked on one large piece of backing liner, is that what I'm understanding? You could do it, but you would need to add yet another backing to it - you don't ever want to cut all the way through what you're feeding through cutter or else you cut into the cutting strip and ruin it...

skarekrow 1,842 Posted May 13, 2014 You can accomplish this with registration marks that are left (un) weeded with the gang of decals, After your contour cut, cut the decals into single units with a paper cutter. Not answering from experience, just in concept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mopar691 281 Posted May 13, 2014 Never going to be able to perf cut the mask without a huge mess. Plus would have to reload and re register. Making things really complex. I perf cut almost daily but that workflow would just not work. Cut, perf cut, weed, mask and separate. To do it like your talking you are creating much more work and it would take alot longer than normal. In almost all instances it is faster to separate on the work table than it is to perf cut. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted May 13, 2014 run them down a rotary table so cut them off flat - easy cheezey cotton peezey. or you could buy a die that shape and use a wooden mallet to "Die cut" them to make them all the same an pretty. gotta ask in the end is the milk worth the squeezing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
