Material Recommendation for School Project

Recommended Posts

Our school is wanting a near-life-size self-adhesive decal (something that can adhere to painted wood) of a local celebrity created. The finished item will be 24" x 5'.

The image will be printed on a HP Z2100 which uses an aqueous pigment ink.

My plan is to then contour cut the image using my Titan 3.

I have never attempted to create something of this size, so I'm looking for recommendations of media that will allow the aqueous pigment ink to adhere, has a self-adhesive backing, and that can be contour cut with my Titan 3.

All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thx Wildgoose! Is there anything I need to do differently when contour cutting vinyl that has self-adhesive backing (will the tackiness of the backing cause the cutter blade to skip or bunch up for example), any special settings, etc?

What vinyl have you been cutting that DOESN'T have self adhesive?  In other words there shouldn't be any difference other than possible thickness. I didn't read the specs to see how thick that stuff is.
