[Looking for Specialty Vinyls]

I'm looking for some low cost specialty vinyls with textures for a project I'm working on. I'm currently using 3M DI-NOC (Carbon Fiber).

I've seen some wood and leather materials out there. Not sure what they're callers or where to buy them.

3M dinoc series has a lot more textures/patterns than carbon fiber

[How do you]

what he is talking about is making one or more triangles(you can use any other shape) on your design in a dif color. when you go to cut your image cut the shapes with each part and then layer them by overlaying the shapes on top of each other.

[Need help with pinch roller marks MH-871]

perfectly normal. although i do remember my refine leaving much more noticeable marks than my graphtec but yeah no need to worry about it.

[KNow where to buy or anyone have]

why not just make them yourself

[84 Monte Carlo SS stripes??]

you are gonna have tough luck finding a file of oem racing stripes on the internet, especially for free. take some pictures and make em up yourself.

[Oracal 970RA]

yeah what he said, will prob be fine for the flatter panels but it is gonna be more work on the curves to get it to come out good

[Ebay Niche]

hmmmmm

[Oracal 970RA]

oh wait you bought the regular 180c which is the cast sign vinyl. i thought you had bought the ij180cv3 which is the badass wrapping film

[Cutter cutting some of the words and others it is not cutting]

[corel x3 vector and signblaze]

you cant scan an image as a vector

[Cutter cutting some of the words and others it is not cutting]

[Contour cut with AI Help]

are the marks on the inner side of the rollers

[Oracal 970RA]

hm i have only seen it offered in white for printing.

[Contour cut with AI Help]

what are you printing with?

[Oracal 970RA]

yeah dont use 751 or 951 to try to wrap a car it would be such a headache

hexis, oracal and 3m are all really good wrapping vinyls.

you will be very happy with the 3m180, i have some samples of it before i used to wrap my car and it is soooo easy to work with.

i thought you wanted black though?

[corel X3 and vector]

well a corel file would be a .cdr extension which im pretty sure signblazer doesnt accept. back when i used SB i had the best luck with EPS files, AI files gave me troubles sometimes and usually had to save as an older version to get em to work.

[Is SignBlazer obsolete]

A lot of people use it but I personally think it is very obsolete especially for image editing which can be done much better in inkscape if you want to go the free route. You can use illustrator to cut if you have a cutter from a company that offers a plugin such as graphtec or roland

[Newbie from Hawaii]

good luck though, when i looked i think i only found one sign shop on the island

[Boat manufacturer logos....]
