Had a blade draggin issue but think I figured it by using plotter pin and height of holder has a bit to do with drag but...Is there a particular directional point that the blade should be pointing? I know sounds dumb but gotta ask. I found if I have blade holder butt against clamp housing I got drag cuts across my lettering, I pointed blade n-w-s-e direction and still drag cut, raised blade housing and think I cured it but angle is my querie....Thanks for any input...

laugh at me later please....I have read many of the pricing post's and this question may/may not be realtive but gotta ask any how... Is there a "climbing" price set such as (example) 1" lettering equals $1.00 and 10 cent for every letter used in whatever format placement and it "graduates from 1" to 2", 3", and so on till you reach your limit in size. Is there or could there be a letter cost, a size cost or should it be based on a project cost versus man-hr's. Like mechanics use a set time/job to base on repair cost versus quotes. The following is for vinyl product ONLY, the design cost may/may not come into play and the substrate cost as well as I ASSUME size,job spec's and material all play into a fair quote or cost....Oh, what dictates the design cost, I mean what is a begin figure and what should be the "switch" that increases that figure. Thank you for reading this as I am reading and learning from the many of you and your post's...

Thank you for the insight, no machine yet( 2weeks or so) but have several simple 36" to 48" cutters inmind..I am somewhat familar with 3M products from the days of custom painting surf brd's and creating new designs for sk-brd..Anyway, I will be spending alot more time reading the forums and taking all this in...Have a warm one as it's getting cold again for another freeze weekend...

Dont plan on making my first millon by oh say April but I am a novice about vinyl in the artistic sense and thats why I(a digital artist) am here to ask some question's...All answers are appreciated...What is the proper name for the transfer medium, what the vinyl is adhered to after cutting...Is Ebay a "fair" place to find vinyl material and this transfer medium....I am already software savy w/ Illustrator. Corel, Vectors and Vexel and am eager to apply what I do to vinyl.....Thank you....
