Hi, i have been messing a bit with the pen adapter of my ploter and i think its great, . so far i ahve seen this video and i thik its great what he does, i dont mean the coroplast thing,but the way the ploter is handling the drawing. i have tried iit and a regular sharpie works great with the plotter, it draws perfectly well , but the problem is that when i send a drawing to "CUT/ploT" the cutter will only draw the outline, does anyone know how to make the plotter fill the design??. I hope someone knows cause this intersts me a lot. Thank you

Hi everyone. After a loooong wait i have received a few meters of tint film from a UK seller (ebay). It looks perfectly good but since i have never used this material i have a few question : -How can i know what is the side that reflects??. I wouldnt like to apply it inverted and let everyone see me lol. -Should it have some type of adhesive??. I know you should apply it in wet, but thoguht it also had some adhesive like oracal. Have i been scammed or this is correct??.. Thank you

forget what i said iit has adhesive but i have to remoeve a VERY VERY thin plastic film thank you anyways

During day 12 (tomorrow) are designs still accepted or just today?? I will try to finish mine for today, but if i can tomorrow it will be better

hi guys, after asking a lot and setting up the software i finllay did my first cuts . I needed a stencil for a project im working on so i place masking tape behind the acetate sheet A4 (thank you to the one that posted this tip ). I cutted it with signblazer, wed it ( i had to weed it for too long because i didnt cut it with enoguh pressure)and then painted it with a rattlecan. Heres the resutl. by the way its not my design, i forgot to write it, its one of Craig Frasers stencils. I made it because i am not able to buy them in my area, but if you can i higly recommend you.

Hello everyone, i have seen lots of sandblasted stuff in this forum and it looks totally aweasome I would like to introduce to this new type of art, but first i would like to know if you need any special equipment. I dedicate to airbrushing myself so i have a compressor and now how things work fairly well among airbrushes, guns... -do you need a special place to sandblast things? -Do you need any consumibles (aka paint in painting, ink in printing ) -What types of materials can you sandblast, just glass?? or you can sandblast metals also?. Because i wouod be very interested in sandblasting zippos and similar stuff. Thank you everyone

"pressure pot" sounds as an expensive word to me I dont want to make this for a living just to mess a bit around with things . Also thanks for the page helpinghand

oops sorry, i posted in the wrong section In that case i will post pics of the helmet finished, to keep on section. Dont you think a red shield would be cool ?? Im from Spain, here tinted shields cost around 70

Hi, i havce finished painting recently a helmet for a client and the overall design looks great except for the visor (sorry im not english how its called? visor, shield, glass?? ) that i think i should tint in order to make a perfect design. I have found in ebay tint at fairly good prices but im not really sure how to do the job. Should i pre-cut the vinyl with the form of the shield or should i apply the vinyl and then cut the leftover?? Wt or dry aplication?. In the case i should precut is there any program that has templates of shield brands as there is software with car brands?? if not how would you recommend me to make the shields outline in vector? Thank you.

cool, the only thing by the way the only thing i dont need is the cabinet and compressor please dont hestiate to post pics when they arrive

Looking really good so far, I like the pattern style background I work myself as designer and it seems you may also because you have a good sense of it. The only thing i would cange is the big footer, making it a bit smaller Are you making it from scratch? because if so extra congrats for the job

Tank you a lot , everything i wanted to know And what about the gun? I have seen a Paasche one for a good price that looks pretty similar to one of my Airbrushes, the paasche vl everything red. Excet for the weird cup that looks ULTRA-reinforeced So except for the compressor/Hoses, aprox. how much would i have to invest in order to start sandblasting, without taking in account a cabinet that i can make myself?. Thank you

Hi im new to the this worlld you know Im having a question, is it normal that some vinyl is A LOT easier to weed that other? Because i have 2 tipes of vinyl , wit one i have to be very carefull when weeding, keeping things in place... but with the other one (LG series 70) its EASY, i can take all the vinyl almost without any effort, even very intrincate designs. It seems the 2nd one is thinner than the other, should i adjust the blade dept/pressure with the "bad" vinyl to get the same results?? Thank you

ok nevermind I found the option It was under advanced TAB (that tab is made enterely from pure awesomes) Now my cuts are coool thank you all

Hi everyone Im having some problems with my cutter , I provide a pic to show you what i mean. When it cuts some parts (specially circular ones) the cutter seems that it doesnt finish the cut it takes the blade off before closing the path so when im weeding i have to cut the milimeter left by hand and its turning me mad :S Also when doing really small leters (with big ones it doesnt happen so much ) the corners arent sharp it makes every corner a bit rounded, the smaller the graphic the more roundiness it makes :S I think it is due to some software settings because i have recently changed to FLEXI and if i remember correctly SignBlazer didnt do this things. Also i have a question, what is the blade offset?? Do i have to adjust it in order to make better cuts? because i havent done so, thank you everyone

The problem about te help is that my hel file is in spanish and the words are not the same ven traducted But my flexi 8.5 PRO is in spanish Thank you i will look for that in a minute

Any clue where is that ption in Flexi BannerJohn?? I cant manage to find it Thank you in advance.

ok ill make some adjustments And about the sharp corners?? :S

Hello everyone, i have a guy who wants me to make him 1000 stickers, about 10cm x 7cm (4in x 2.7in) its his logo in plain black vynil, just one layer.

WT or DRY?? Thank you Also its my first time doing this, do you have any good tips to make things easier/ not screw up everythiung??

Hi everyone, could you please recommend me where can i buy good quality vinyl online. I just want a good price and vinyl to be shipped to spain thank you My local distributors charge too much for vinyl. I would like to order regular vinyl (for decals) and Textile (Heat) Vinyl to make tees Thank you very much

tahnk you, looks great, not for the price (looks good priced) but for the variet of vinyl types. Thank you

lol, not fun they wanted to charge me 400$ to send a plotter to spain so i guess if i order vinyl its gona end REALLY expensive. anyway thanks

Hi everyone, i wonder how to do contour cutting for decals but in plain color vynil. I mean... I cut the design of my decal in the vinyl everything great, but then i dont want to offer it to my client in a big Square of transfer paper, i have the design with the contour already made in illustrator but the problem is how can i align the contour with the previously cutted decal??? isnt there any way of making the plotter cut the decal with x pressure and the contour with Y(more) pressure to go trough all the material??
