Wow, those look good. Haven't tried cutting something so detailed (small in size too) with my Roland yet. I should give it a try now.

Looks great!

Wow this thread was fun to read. It makes me want to try it. Wonder if it would work with a regular spray bottle, see what kind of effect it will give.

cool vid.

I've been playing with the Cobra Inks that I received but it seems like the Reds either turn brown-ish or Orange-ish. Funny though, because it shifts colors on the screen when I'm in Corel Draw. But when i do something in Photoshop or AI it actually shows the reds as they are. PS and AI reds look more orange or brown. ?? Anyone else having problems? Could it be the ICC profiles i installed?

+1 for the CleanCut Blades. I have been using the 60* blades, i feel i get better results.

Not sure on the settings i have for each one. I will check tonight. What settings should i have? or what settings are recomended?

Ill try that when i get home. But it's weird that if i copy a pic, from lets say google images, that has red in it and paste it to corel draw the reds shift to either brow-ish or orange-ish color. But if i paste that same pic to PS or AI the reds stay red??? Weird.

wait wait. i understand the idea, but that is not a square inch. a square inch would be multiplying the width by the height. 12" X 24" = 288". then multiplying 288 X .55 = $158.40. your method actually makes more sense, but i just wanted to make sure that its understood so there isn't confusion. what you're proposing is more like by the linear inch. i've seen a fair number of people on here choose to charge by the square inch, which is basically the same idea, but you'd have to adjust your price per square inch... lets say 12" x 24" = 288 in^2. 288 x $.07 = $20.16. i don't mean to be condescending, i just wanted to clarify so when someone read it and went to do their own pricing it would make sense Also when a customer is reading your website and they see $.55 per square inch they don't flip out because they wanted a 12" x 24" decal that is going to cost them $158! That's the same way i see it too (12"X24"= 288 sq.in.)

Thanks guys. Snagged'em too

Nice work.

That looks really good. I've never done a banner before. How do you align everything (or what method do you use?) for it to come out so well?

Sounds like you are cutting too fast. I usually cut around 5 or 6.

Thanks, worked for me

Congrats on the WF 1100. I just upgraded recently to Cobra Inks and loving it so far.

Yey! I just placed an order with Richard @Cobra Inks for some refillable carts and some ink. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Has anyone tried the etching liquid or cream to etch other materials besides glass? Maybe on some marble, granite or porcelain?

Yeah, Richard was great. He created a "Combo Pack" and called me back with a quote in less than 5 minutes. Might end up getting a second set for my WF 610. No, the inks are not only for t-shirts. Check out the website that Speedoggy posted for more info on the inks.

I got it for my epson 1400.

I think it might be better to just go to the store and buy one because I just read a description of an OLFA self healing mat http://www.olfa.com/MatsDetail.aspx?C=10&Id=85 and it says to store flat. Check ou the description, that's the one I use.

And welcome badun, hope to see ur stuff on here

BTW, my Roland had the "TEST" button to cut some test cuts and those wouldn't come out right before I made those changes. Does the Graphtec do "TEST" cuts, if it does, do they come out good?

I had the same issue when I first got my Roland GX-400. I talked to CS and they said it would be the offset and/or blades. So I bought some CleanCut blades and played around with the offset settings. So far I haven't had that issue anymore. I changed the offset from the cutter.

Thx bigtracy for that one. I haven't really done any major jobs but I'm sure it will come in handy one day

I was reading the specs on it and it looks like it only takes up to 8.5x11. what do you mean when you say the scanner would get in my way?
