    How're the colors holding up in the weather/sun?

    Sue2

    So far good. Have had one sitting out in the sun for 3 weeks with some RC nitro fuel that I poured on it to test how it would hold up to that part too

    Here are some small decals i have just started to try out. I am using an Epson 2000 and 1100 printers(pigment ink) with matte white printable vinyl and oracal transparent laminate. Just started doing some and if anyone has any other helpful tips would be great. Been looking for fluorescent printable vinyl.

    Ok. I am looking i  to 2 different printers just to print out some small decals on printable vinyl.  Now some require bright colors. I have a workforce 1100 right now, but can not get some of the brighter colors. I was looking in to the Epson Artisan 1430 or Epson p400. Anyone habe any experience with the 1430 or p400?

    Trying to figure out the contour stuff and got it pretty much, but they are off just a bit. This is a photo of my first printed decal job. I have a SC 54in and use vinyl master cut. Would it be the offset in the program that I have to mess with?

    what program are u using to cut with? I just opened my version of VM cut and was having this issue. come to find out, the way things were changed in an update .... overcut was cut off.

    I have been using Vinyl Master Cut, Inkscape and Vector Magic. Sometimes I still go back to Signblazer til I get use to the Vinly Master

    I am wondering how old the Roland pnc 1210 are or how long have they been around. I have a customer tha is throwing one away and I plug it in and turn it on and can hear all running and blade carrier moves like usual when turned on. Don't know much else yet until I get it home though. Right now I have a MH871 and SC 54in cutter.

    I think there should be a Main Tab on the main forum page that says -" Start Here"---- How to set your blade depth before you start cutting anything.   That way when a new person shows up it will be Right there on top...Some people may not even know how to describe what it is called etc and they end up having to ask the Million Dollar repeated question lol..

    I don't think the blade depth is the problem, but double checked anyways. Sometimes it will cut fine and then other times it will just be in a random spot on the cut where it does not finish the line that it is cutting and goes on to somewhere else and starts cutting. I know these are low end cutters, Had an MH871 for 7 years and never had it do this. I just got the Vinyl master Cut and is all new to me. Was using Signblazer before. For $100 just couldn't pass up the cutter and other stuff it came with. Would really like to put some money away to get a good servo motor cutter.

    2 things, first make sure your blade exposure is set like Skeeter has posted over and over again, second is add to the overcut in your software if it had it.     Not to be confused with offset as if your corners are good you do not want to mess with offset, but adding a little to overcut helps your problem on the stepper motor cutters

    Ok I will check that all out. Yeah was just reading some of Skeeter's post on that. Thanks for the info. Really want to get a servo motor cutter soon, but man someone sold me this machine, box of vinyl, tools and few other things for $100.. Could not pass it up. LOL

    I just bought an SC 54in cutter and sometimes it does not finish cuts in spots on what I am cutting out. It does not do it all the time, but if I cut more than one decal at once that is when it will most likely do it.  Something like not finishing a line all the way or maybe a letter . Just somewhere on the decal it will not finish something. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before

    Looks really sharp! How does it cut? Their online description is pretty short on details...

    Well the sublidecal paper has the vinyl on top and a backing to the vinyl. I have trimmed around the stuff with a razor blade. cuts easy or you can contour cut it. Which I dont have a laser eye for my cutter..I might have to invest in a smaller cutter for doing stuff with this sublidecal. I got mine in 11x17 in paper. Also comes in 13x17in sheets

    Which sublidecal are you using and where did you order it from?

    I ordered mine from Cobrainks . Those were just the first one I did. I have made a few more things. So far I really like the stuff
