    I have a bit of a rush job on my hands and might need to get a roll of extra black and white vinyl. So just curious as Im located in NYC if anyone could reccomened a place where I can physically go and buy a roll of vinyl, or somewhere that will ship quickly - would be very handy to know if Im ever in a pinch again.

    Thanks

    A tone on tone design - there is a lot of color going on in the babies room so decided to go for a more subdued white on white decal. It really contrasts when you walk towards it down the corridor due to the difference of the wall texture and vinyl - once you enter the room it just fades away to make way for the bright posters etc on the opposite wall.

    The name will be cut into the 'banner' once decided and the date will also be added

    This design actually gave me a lot of trouble during production so big thanks is needed to the guys on here for helping me get through it :)

    thanks for everyones help - i got it cut and installed - as a lot of people mentioned it seems i just had to change the page length in advanced settings was all - so if anyone else runs into this issue, take a look into that!

    Again thanks for all the help and fast responses!!

    now thats out of the way i can spend some time and look into using sign blazer for more precision handling of my vinyl!

    thanks skeeter - so this will give me more control over the sizes of what Im cutting?

    I just swapped out the blade and used the pen to draw out what i want to cut with the new page length size i put in and it seemed to work fine so curious as to how cutting master would improve anything? Am i bypassing cut master 2 altogether? - i remember i installed something that came with it and couldnt get it to work properly (shocker) so bumbled my way through and ended up with this set up working for me - im interested to know how I should have everything set up for optimum control.

    I went for a walk so id stop getting frustrated and had a think, when i boot up the graphtec, just before i pick "roll 1 press enter" is says L 19.7" S 22.2"

    Is this the measurement its using to cut only 19.7" (i presume the 22.2" is the width available)- if so how do i change this to the full length i need.

    Good call on using the pen - im fiddling around so will try that.

    I am just using coreldraw and it recognizes the cutter through a usb, not sure the actual printing software Im using, but i set the page to the size i set up in the file - all looks fine in the print preview

    Currently working on one of my physically larger jobs which will require the vinyl to be sectioned together. However I just ran my cutter (graphtec-ce5000-60) and it stopped mid job. the overall size is 38" in length and it got about 19" along and just stopped. - Even when i try and jog the vinyl out of the machine so i can cut it - it stops dead.

    Ive never experienced this before and its fairly annoying as i dont have a lot of this specific color left and i just wasted whats just been cut - so nervous about re-sending the job again for the same thing to happen. Is this a hardware issue or shall i just walk away for a few hours and come back lol

    Thanks
