I found in my own home that the vinyl would not stick to a flat paint used in my office, but it would in the kitchen... Might be the type of paint too... The combination of the paint and heavy texture might be a problem. Best of luck with this one...

Where did you find it?

Can't see the whole picture, but maybe looks like Tribal... Try Vectorstock website.

Newbie Questions!! - Decal cutting/printing
suz1234 replied to zackherman's topic in General discussion
I'm fairly new too but here is what I have experienced...After watching a lot of Utube videos and asking a lot of questions, I purchased a used Roland GX-24 which is an excellent machine that I have used for race car numbers mostly, but found that I was wanting to cut smaller projects. Then I decided to try a Silhouette Cameo for small decals up to 12". The learning curve is like night and day for an older gal using the Cameo. I just love it and find it satisfying to be able to use smaller scraps with very little waste. It is a great machine to get started with a much lower investment to get your feet wet. It is also much more portable if you want to travel for trade shows and cut on site decals. I also use it for etching glasses and mugs I find at the dollar store. You can also use it to cut paper, fabric, vinyl, or use a pen to make signs with. It will also copy from your copy machine if you find a design not available in a vector. It is a bit slower but I weed while it cuts. The money I save on an expensive machine to start with helps me purchase more vinyl. Cutting vinyl is VERY addicting! Hope this helps! Suzanne -

I tried to upload some of my work but apparently I am saving the photos in a file that is too large... Sorry. I use a Roland GX-24 and also have a Silhouette Cameo. The Roland can cut just as detailed as the Cameo and do these cuts flawlessly. Love them both. Roland is very versatile for large or small projects as long as you keep a sharp blade in the machine and use the correct settings. Highly recommend both!

I have a Roland GX-24 and am very pleased but did strongly consider the Graphtec... Check out Utube for a side by side comparison. They actually run both machines at the same time so you can see how each operates.

Crude... Just saying. You are wasting your "Talents" and anyone here, even beginners can type a phrase. Poor choice of phrases if you want to make a first impression. -
Very Cool!

Love the head gear!!! LOLOLOL

I just bought a Cameo and am trying to learn it. So far, it is great. We want to be able to do some trade shows and didn't want to take our Roland GX24. Post some of your work! Love to get new ideas!

There are some really good ones here and on Utube... Latest here were cutting boards from the Dollar Store (can't remember who did them but it was a great idea) Also Glass Blocks on utube - stencils for etching using vinyl - travel cups - framed monograms (Dollar Store again) mirrors - Wall Sayings (I check Etsy for ideas) cannisters - Computer decals - Merry Christmas!

Recently laid off my job, so am considering doing some trade shows. Need help deciding on whether to purchase another small table top cutter like a Sillouette Cameo. Found one on ebay from USCutter but can't find it in the online store. I currently own a Roland GX-24 but really don't want to pack it to a show and thought having a smaller one would be handy to take. Several questions: I want to also use it to be able to cut small scraps from larger projects that won't go through the Roland. Is this possible? What brand of cutter is the best for a table top? Any other advice would be appreciated... Thanks Suzanne

How small scraps can the Titan and the Cameo cut? Also, ease of use and simple to learn...

Don't get discouraged...Maybe the heat press and other equipment can generate enough income to help pay for the repairs! Time to sharpen your pencil.

GREAT idea!!!
-
I've got it but my other computer is in the shop...Will post it for you in a day or two.
-
Is the vase vinyl or paint?
-
What's your day job because you are really GOOD at this! Nice work!
-
WOW! You scored!!! I am working on one right now and decided for comfort I'd do one that is tilted against a wall with a shop light behind it... Mine will be 36" x 36". Just a thick pane of glass with a shop light...nothing fancy.

I'm a newbie too but best advise...Don't cheap out. Buy a good plotter and use quality vinyl. I got a Roland GX-24 plotter (used) and Oracal Vinyl (631 & 651). Best advise is to read this forum. I'm here daily to get advise and pick up tips on how to be better. These guys are great and willing to help.
