    Newbie Questions!! - Decal cutting/printing

    Well when I said "I would like to print them like that" I meant that for the color ones. For the solid color ones (black or white in most cases) can I still use a Graphtec? Would I need special vinyl to get it to easily peel and stick like the images above?

    Newbie Questions!! - Decal cutting/printing

    Alright thanks guys!! So... So I am looking at a color decal that I bought for reference. There isn't a need to do the transfer thing. It just comes like a thick sticker would, you just peel it off and stick it where you want it. Am I missing something? I would like to print them like that. Is it just that these are the same products but some prefer to apply it with better precision or is it a completely different vinyl roll? Here's pictures: In package: http://imgur.com/Ib0psgb,p7FGsVW,tGbjxG0#0 Out package:http://imgur.com/Ib0psgb,p7FGsVW,tGbjxG0#1 Showing how easy it is to peel: http://imgur.com/Ib0psgb,p7FGsVW,tGbjxG0#2

    Newbie Questions!! - Decal cutting/printing

    Dude, thanks so much! This helps a lot especially you giving me some terms to hang on to, instead of saying "that sheet it sticks to" etc. So, if I am not applying the decal myself and shipping them off, would i just cut and weed? I've ordered some decals online to check out the quality and they just come what seems like, cut and weeded. Do they do any special step after that? Also any chance to reply to the whole printing in color question?

    Newbie Questions!! - Decal cutting/printing

    Great video! That helps a lot. Its crazy to me that the thing cuts juts the vinyl and leaves the paper it sticks to. Do I have that correct? From watching the video.. Where does laminating come in? I understand where you're coming from but if you can make those decals for .50 - 1.00 it could turn out big if you're able to sell a lot. It would also be a hobby. Awesome thanks for that info. Wow that's impressive! I didn't know it could do all that! ... so I understand that there is no printing involved when you do a solid color. You just purchase the color vinyl you want, and cut it out. My follow up question, is for the color laptop decals, how are they able to do that. Like this one: http://www.amazon.com/LoveDecalHome-macbook-Macbook-sticker-partial/dp/B00F35JWC4/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1424383439&sr=1-2&keywords=macbook+decal Thanks so much guys!
  5. Hey guys! First time poster.. I am looking to start making laptop decals. Just a hobby / business that I would love to start up! I was hoping some of you could point me in the right direction, give me some pointers, etc.. I haven't purchased anything, but from what I read, I understand you shouldn't go cheap. I see good things about the Graphtec 24" Cutter. So some questions also. 1) When I buy laptop decals, they come on a sheet that you peel it off of. Is this sheet just something the maker put the decal on or is that somehow not cut during the cutting process? Sorry thats a dumb question probably. 2) For the color decals, how is that printed? I sort if get that the solid color (black typically) are just cut from something like this http://www.uscutter.com/ORACAL-631-Exhibition-Cal-Vinyl-24-x-10-Yard-Roll right? Thanks so much guys, Zack
