darkstreets 0 Posted January 19, 2013 I have had my Portrait cutter for about a week and it works amazingly well. I am using it to create resists for etching and electroforming. I do need to know what the thckest vinyl I can use in the machine, and where to get it. The mils arent specified in the vinyl buying area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
