    Hi

    Im looking in to using vinyl for decoration, interior design.  As a lot of people are but cant seem to find a sutible vinyl.  I understand the Oracal 631 is a low tack vinyl that is semi removable and can be used on painted interior walls.  However, I cant find a supplier for this in the UK

    I have also seen that people have had issues with the app tape being more tacky than the vinyl.

    Are there any other recommended interior vinyl types and if anyone might know of a UK supplier, that would be great

    Thanks

    I have a rather large and deep (0.5), grove in my cutting strip swo I have bought a new one.  But I have a couple of questions:

    I have pulled of the old one and it was very thin and has left behind a thicker (1mm), sticky bit.  Very tacky to the touch.

    Should I remove this as it does look like the sticky bit from the Teflon strip?

    Also there are two distinct square indentations in it, which def look like they have been made on purpose.  But I cannot see them on the old one that I have removed.

    What are these indentations for?

    And what way round (vertically and horizontally) should they be? Upward or downward facing, and frontwards or backwards facing?

    Cheers

    LOL,  I just read thru it yesterday  and in  less than 10 minutes found  your problem. AND I don't even have a Graphtec CE5000-60   :thumbsup:   Piece of cake.

    and it's only 105 short pages.  They are mostly pictures, showing and describing to make it easier. Very to the point,  a very easy read.

    Nope cant find it, apart from the fact that it roundabouts tells the user to have media in it or you wil get the Load Media message

    Cheers

    Hi

    When I cut from the AI plugin the cut ends up 5 x larger than the size set.  I imported a graphic (simple) in to AI and set the size to 30cm x 30cm

    Opened the AI cutting master plugin and checked the size, all is correct.

    I then send it to the cutter and it came out at best guess around 100cm x 100cm.  I dont know for sure as it went off the end of the vinyl and attempted to tile it and then asked for more vinyl.

    It seems that AI and cutting master are working in cms and the cutter is in inches

    Any ideas would be great

    Right

    Im sure this is where it gets expensive!

    Im looking for a vinyl printer.  And I dont want to pay 10 grand for it.  Just a small capable printer that can print on self adhesive material.  For inside and outside.  I just want to make stickers and dont really need 5-7 year life or to be able to print permanant banners.  Just stickers that last say 12 months.

    What sort of printer do I need?

    What sort of Ink?

    I have also noticed that some suppliers sell waterproof inkjet vinyl, does this work?

    Thanks, this forum has already been a great help

    Thanks for that

    I had actually looked on that site but was lo9oking at the 1200mm one.  Strange that this doesnt have the led contour cutting option.

    And I take it the LED would be manual registration mark detection rather than auto

    Thanks

    Hi Folks

    Is it possible to get US Cutters in the UK or are the branded under a different name.  If so does anyone know of any suppliers.  Ideally, I would like a Lazer auto registration one for contour cutting

    Thanks form good old blighty
