    ooooo...jfought...thanks.  I would love to know your contact, I don't know anyone in the Upstate of SC that does laser cutting.  I really appreciate all of your input.  I think those things are sooo cute, and they would love them here in SC.

    I don't know if they were pvc...but that's what it looked like.  The polka dots were sublimation, but the monogram was a vinyl decal.  The substrate itself looked about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.  Any ideas?  The car it was on was park in front of my shop.  When I went back out with a camera, it was gone..oh well.

    I saw the cutest car tag the other day.  It was what looked like a routed flip flop with vinyl cutouts decorating it.  I immediately went online looking for what looked like a pvc cutout.  I am unable to find anything at all.  I am hoping one of you vinyl guru's might know where I could put my hands on some of these gems.  Any help is greatly appreciated....as always.

    Hi from South Carolina. 

    I bought my laserpoint in Feb 09.  I mainly do the same thing as you...wall decals, stick people, banners ..small detailed stuff...

    I have loved my laserpoint!  I am a graphic designer by profession, so, I had some background with different types of software.  I had very few problems!  My only issue was a cord connection that, with the help of this great forum, I was able to correct.

    I design everything in Illustrator and copy it to SignBlazer. I guess Signblazer has gone through some issues, because, I still use it as a full trial version...that makes me a little uncomfortable.  But hey, it works.  I wish that didn't have to use it, but it's what I chose when I purchased my cutter.  If you have the $$$, I would invest in FlexiSign.  It seems to be a pretty well rounded professional cutting program.

    Oh..one more thing....Someone suggested getting a 60 degree blade.  I did..and wow!  Big difference for me with the details.

    Good luck and take that plunge!

    HI HI!  I purchased a lazer point in Feb from US Cutter.  I feel a bit fortunate.  Other than some hookup problems that I had to work through, I have absolutely loved it!  My question is this....They sent me a pack of blades, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out what size they are.  I have used and reused these blades, and I desperately need to order some.  I would like blades for cutting the oracal vinyl (reg decal), and then I would like to order some for cutting sign blasting mask.  I figure two size blades.  I would really like some opinions about which is preferred for different applications.

    Again Thanks,

    I am loving this business!

    I have been using my laserpoint for several months, and I have had very little problems.  My issue is with the substrate, and I hope someone out there has more knowledge and can lead me in the right direction.

    Question: I am creating a sign for a client.  He wanted the vinyl placed on painted wood and provided me with a painted blank done in an exterior gloss paint.  I cut the vinyl with no problems...however, I cannot for the life of me get it to stick to the blank.  What is with this?  Anyone have any suggestions?  I need to finish this tomorrow, and I have cut several pieces of vinyl, but no matter how I put it on, it won't stick.  Any responses or suggestions would be helpful. Maybe, I will just order an aluminum bland and start over...;D
