    I like clear for multiple layers that I install right away.

    I agree I use Rtape for stuff that might sit for a bit and for installs that involve wet install but love the clear with multi color and imediate install. The clear is less sticky but love it.

    Converted this 120 polaris into a Yamaha (sort of) for a friend sorry about the pics crappy camera phone. oh and the caveman pic is because we ride Vmax-4's and were told that we rode dinasoars so that is the race team Caveman Racing. This is the Hood for a 1 cylinder 4 stroke snowmobile with very little HP where her fathers sled is a 2 stroke 4 cylender with 450 HP.

    I am now ready to attempt mirrors and other fine detailed work as I figured out all of my issues which included the chatter cut, the perforated cut, and the lifting of the vinyl.

    Ok,so I broke down and bought the smallest BS they had..the 14". I think it was around $30 with shipping. It works great! No more wet on corplast for me! Anyhow, I got to looking at the prices for the bigger ones,and looking at the one I had..and thought' what's so special about it? that it should be $60?

    So I went to harbor freight, spent $3 for the 24" trim guard...put some felt on the edge,covered it with cotton first aid tape..and BINGO! It works easily as good as my genuine BS. Honest..I wouldn't kid you.

    Total cost about $4. It's nice and rigid, doesn't flex.

    I know this post was about 18 mths ago but holy crap did this work as explained

    Thanks I owe ya one

    Well this was easy as soon as I was told by the support to use parallel port db25 instead of the usb. I purchased a Trendnet printserver tew-p11G from tigerdirect used the wizard and noted what ip address it was using and made it static. the printserver was hooked up to my wireless router that is running dd-wrt not sure this was important. Went into SignCut Productivity Pro and set the outsource device/Port to TCP/IP and put in the ip address to the print server. I left the port of 9100 alone. did a test feed I could hear it then cut out my first decal from my laptop while sitting on the couch to my cutter in the other room. WOOOHOOO!!!!! hings you will need to order 1 network cable to go from print server to router, 1 DB25 male to DB25 male to go from print server to cutter. and the parallel port print server. I chose the one mentioned above because I have a regular printer in there as well and can use the usb for that.

    I hope that others can get theirs setup as easy as this attempt went as there is no documentation anywhere on this site about wireless cutting but the advertisement for the Copam 2500 says it can cut wirelessly. and Yes it can . Enjoy the instructions I hope they help someone. I am going to try to map a lpt port to an ip address next that way sign blazer and other software will be able to be used wirelessly

    grumpysod, I believe your in the UK would you be interested in doing a mirror my design and sending it to a friend at Oxford University. I would do it but doubt it would make it to him without breaking. This would not be for a little while as I am still working on the design.

    Looking for pre typed up instructions for the customer to install vinyl inside and out on every material. Thinking painted wood,plaster,glass,plexi,etc.... Looking for something to hand the customer that wants to apply the graphics themselves.

    Thanks
