  1. Hello, 

     

    Anyone used LG vinyl? i use oracal and im pleased with it, sometimes i feel it hard to remove the vinyl i dont need from a decal (compared to the greenstar) and i ask about LG because in my city there is a place where they sell vinyl but only LG brand, and they are priced $93 for any color, in US cutter its 82.29 for 631 and 86.99 for 651 and to that i need to add $10 since i need other colors than white and black (like red one, it cost me $10 more) plus the $10 for the shipping.

     

    LG would cost me $93 total for a 24x50yrd

    Oracal 631 would cost me $102.29 for a 24x50yrd

    Oracal 651 would cost me $106.99 for a 24x50 yrd

     

    is the LG good enough or should i keep using the oracal?

     

    i still have white and black color, but everything else i have around 3 yards left (thats around 8 colors)


  2. i have 651 white on my car, wanted to remove it and the glue stays there :( also i put a decal that i want to remove from the gas cover but since it has line about 1mm, i couldnt peel if ot with my nails so i left it there U_U


  3. graphic designer here, u should check their company and what they do, if they will use ur logo for one of their products u should ask for a % instead, this wont give u a lot of money in 1 blow, but it will keep the money coming and in the long it will give u more money, if they using ur logo and modifying it a little to use as their logo or something similar, a single price should do, i should charge what u think ur work is worth, how long it took for u to make it, how hard it was for u to think of it and if u think they will have more bussiness with u, then the price should be decent, that way they will come back if they need something else, if not, then the price should be high. there is a reason why they came to u or they would just ask any graphic designer to make them one like that.

  4. i pulled in a lot more the blade, now when its cutting, i can hear the holder hit the machine every time it goes down, is this normal? at least it cut a lot better than before, but it still has a little of those pointy cuts going out

    EDIT: nvm, its too short to cut the vinyl, i need to pull it our a little more =\


  5. i need help here, my cutter its leaving A LOT pointy cuts out and sometimes it lift a little vinyl, i changed blade already (my third blade now) and added oil too, pressure was 2g and i changed it back to 25g, speed is 300, what could leave those pointy like spikes on the vinyl? i have cut this dragon before and it cut fine so i know its not the eps

    i dont know what else i can do =\ blade is 45 grade

    attached is a photo of the vinyl with those pointy cuts (i dont know how to say it in english, sorry)

  6. but those names are taken because someone registered the domain only, that desnt mean they own a trademark of that name, only domain in internet.

    i will think of a name first then maybe put up a website later, i live in mexico and people dont buy that much from webpages (at least in my city). i will see what name i will use first, and thanks for those names, i will read them many times and think if one of those will be good or give me an idea of something :P


  7. i bought a pack of 25 envelopes of 9x12" (i wanted 10x13" but was sold out) and using a cardboard from the boxes i get (i buy A LOT online) and that i have stored (because of warranty), i will wait 1 week more and if i dont get any bad feedback about them being bend or something, then i will think they arrived fine =D

    thanks for the tips guys


  8. i used corel x5 since i know more about corel than inkscape, i did the HQ quality one since the other options didnt give me the image i wanted.

    when i was peeling off the vinyl, in the corners the vinyl was stuck with the one that should stay and i was using something pointy to separate them and sometimes my fingers (no force was needed), maybe i need to push a little more the blade? have been cutting greenstar vinyl, this one is orcal 651 and didnt change the blade.

    also when it was cutting, i saw the holder vibrate while cutting, thats very weird but the lines were fine in most parts, i noticed a part where it was a little weavy but its fine :P
