gm2k8 3 Posted July 26, 2008 well finally ordered a laserpoint.. i was looking on ebay for vinyl to practice with and saw a lot of vinyl with the description "CALENDERED WHITE" what does that mean? also.. are there any recommended ebay sellers that you guys use? I dont want a big supply just yet.. i want to learn before I really order a bunch of colors.. i was thinking stick with white so i can play around with some logos for my car windows to advertise my business.. any help greatly appreciated.. already sent in orders for free samples at a few sites..

SynFX 1 Posted July 26, 2008 http://www.signindustry.com/vinyl/articles/2005-07-01-Avery-CastVsCalendered.php3 That site will give you all the information you need regarding your question about calendered vinyls.. For material from 1 yard, 10, or 50 Fellers has it all and have local distributers in most of the major cities in the US. Website - http://www.fellers.com I would recommend steering clear of eBay for material.. the mark up is VERY high. Check out my website for samples and ideas for design.. if you need help just shout!! Cody Wilcox SynFX Advertising Co. http://synfxonline.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kctrader 10 Posted July 27, 2008 i want to make some barn type scenes with the cutter to decorate the wall.. You might want to try Oracle 631. It's designed for interior use. It has a matte finish and can be removed for up to a couple of years. Most of the other vinyls have stronger adhesives and are shiny. You might also want to google wall words, wall sayings, etc. You can get a lot of ideas for wall art. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lexiprice 1 Posted August 2, 2008 I'm having trouble finding prices for vinyl on the fellers website. There's a location about an hour away from me- I'd like to know what I'm looking at spending before I make the treck out there (I know it doesn't seem far...but it's the gas that I'm more concerned about) any help would be great. Thanks! lexi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted August 3, 2008 I get all my 631 from SignWarehouse, best price I've found, a lot of people HATE SW, but I've had pretty good service from them, and Oracal 631 is what you want for your interior walls. Congrats on the baby!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted August 3, 2008 US Cutter now offers Oracal and is VERY competitive on their prices. http://www.uscutterdirect.com/Oracal_c_28.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
