whoa! 20 seconds? i would love to see that happen. how would i go about changing the settings? i havent changed any of the settings except the speed - its around 50 right now.

When I was weeding it - I would use my weeding tool to pull apart the excess vinyl - and on almost every piece it would have to be pulled apart by hand or w/ my tool. I've seen others weed before - and the weed would come off so easily w/ out having to separate or finagle it by hand. hmm...any tips? thanks for trying to help johnny.

What sized lettering are you trying to cut? If it's small - try cutting in a bigger text size and see if you have the same problem.

I got mine the other day (48") - only made two cuts so far - and I did have to slice off some of the excess vinyl that was attached to my lettering - I figured it was normal because the lettering was pretty small - both cuts were under 6" x 6", gonna try some bigger stuff tomorrow and see if I have the same issue. Have you tried buying a different set of blades? My first cut (today):

Wow - this thread is so helpful! Thank you all! ;D

Alright! Got my first cut

There are 8 or so different pcut drivers - does it matter which is selected?

Found someone that wants $68 per 24" x 50 yard roll...free ship - is this good? Better deals out there?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just silly - font theives? Never even crossed my mind - unless you are using the font for a large company, where thousands of banners will be made etc - I wouldn't worry about it.

Welcome seedent..

Alright guys - I agree w/ the 'you get what you pay for' saying - so I'm going to buy a few banners from each distributer and see how they look - and how krinkly they are. I'll even post pictures.

Where is the best place to buy banners?..and by 'best' I mean cheapest I need them to be finished w/ gromets and hemmed

Man, that is awesome!! I just got my application tape the other day - and was pondering ways to make my own dispenser - very nice!!

15 (4x10) 15 (4x12) 50 (3x8) 35 (3x10) grommeted & hemmed 13 oz Gonna order a few at first to make sure it's possible to dekinklatize them.

Well - Mark wants $1700 for my order w/ shipping. If I order the ones w/ the 'kinks' I will save over $1k. I like the kinks.

i'm doing signs for my businesses (it was cheaper for me to buy a machine & material than to get it done by the local sign guy)- with any left overs i may be able to squeeze in a couple jobs on the side, Machine $505 Vinyl $655 Software Free = Big $avings!

Check the website b&w 68- colored 86 - i bought $650 worth, maybe i should get some more b&w

That is quite sexy looking. Nice job!

What was your cost on that stuff, John? Where did you purchase? btw, nice job! love it

What kind of vinyl did you use? I ordered a crapload of Oracal vinyl 651.

Thanks I sent him an email - ordering over 100 banners, so hoping for a nice discount. Someone is willing to sell me their wrinkly, bottom-of-the-stack banners for a deeply discounted price. How hard is it to 'iron' out the wrinkliness?

Thanks I ordered the Laserpoint 48" w/ C cut - I asked Max w/ Sales about the difference between machine qualities and he said the cheaper MH Cutter wil 'sometimes' not support bigger files because of the lack of memory. WTF? Why would they make a 50" machine that could not handle its own size? lol Prolly just sales bullshit - but I didn't want to have any problems so I got the Laserpoint (Max approved) Also - I would like to say that I have called numerous times and left messages to sales, shipping - and have not received any response. I am slightly pissed off - do I get a free big mac card for the inconvience? I didn't think so.

Bud - In your opinion why is the Copam better than the Laserpoint? Please give me some info - there are no facts supporting your statements. I am not sure which I want to order. Much appreciated, bud.

Thank you all for the information! Much appreciated
