gcextreme 475 Posted March 18, 2013 quick question.. how well will the vinyl stick to and stay on these banners?? http://www.uscutter.com/GreenStar-10oz-Banner-Blank-Asst-Colors-Hemmed-Grommetted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 18, 2013 stay away from 10 oz banners - they are good for indoors only - if you need any 3x5 I have a bunch at 6 each + shipping. On the cutting software download the cutmaster 2 or 3 from graphtecs website to cut directly from illy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcextreme 475 Posted March 22, 2013 Well im at work....the ups guy should be bringing my graphtec very soon....then later i can take it home and start the fun... On a side note..i visited member mopar's shop last nite...he has a great setup, gave me lots of good information and walked me thru setting blade depth etc...i was very impressed with his setup....he does alot and is very good at it. I now know that him and others have alot of $$$$ invested into it....im not sure if i ever wanna make it to that level...i just wanna do stuff for myself, family and friends, and some of my website clients.....and sell some stuff online....so im sure my graphtec will do that for many years... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted March 23, 2013 Photo shows the boxes standing on their ends, while the printed icons indicate "This End Up" in the OTHER direction. Uh-Oh. Hopefully nothing was damaged by this mishandling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 23, 2013 the carriage should have been taped to the side to keep it from moving and should be ok . . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 23, 2013 that is a thing of beauty - if the tape is like that on new printers it is great to keep for taping ends of vinyl rolls , easy off and leaves no resedue . . .fyi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
