security802 686 Posted July 7, 2013 magnum 30 mil, USCutter All I am finding is the digimag at uscutter, is this ok to use with just cut vinyl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted July 7, 2013 I just got a roll of digimag by mistake and it felt softer to me but I've made around 10 magnets out of it so far and haven't heard of any problems so far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted July 7, 2013 digimag is made by Magnum. You can get the regular Magnum elsewhere but a roll is so heavy the shipping will kill you. I"ve been using the digimag for a few years now with no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted July 8, 2013 Good to know because I was a little concerned about long term durability myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey 252 Posted July 23, 2013 Am I understanding correctly that my SC cutter can cut the magnum 30 mil magnets? Just use 60 degree blade, with a little extra showing and a little extra pressure and only score about half way through then pull apart from there? I just got a few custom cut door magnets requested and I told them Id have to look into finding someone to cut them, but after searching it seems I might very well be able to cut them myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted July 23, 2013 I've done it,and others have. YOu might have to use an exacto or box cutter to finish the cut in some places. But it always looks good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey 252 Posted July 23, 2013 Ok thank you. Guess Ill give it a shot. now to hunt pricing. Think I have it, just want to cross it to make sure im in the ball park Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abullock22 21 Posted August 12, 2013 I have done magnets on my graphtec without a hitch - came out real nice, just needed to run a balde over a few spots but other than that id say go for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleeveofwizzard 104 Posted August 12, 2013 Really? Never thought of cutting magnetic material before, wouldn't it be more likely to be pulled of by wind? I have heard that it is always recommended to round the corners to it won't get blown off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have heard that it is always recommended to round the corners to it won't get blown off. They put a piece of tape over the corner to help hold em on where they can't be rounded by law. From the sounds of it he orders every year cause they do blow away.Tried to tell em to do 12"x12" with rounded corners and then do the orange triangle on that. The placard only has to 10.75x10.75 legally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motoxchic 33 Posted September 5, 2013 Very interested in this also. So this http://www.uscutter.com/DigiMag-Magnetic-Vinyl-for-Solvent-Printers-Matte-25mil-24-x-25-roll is good for cut vinyl also? and does covering with a UV protectant help (read on here about Frog Juice)? ETA: I realize this post is a little old...not finding a 30mil on USC site, just the 25mil above. Did they stop carrying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted September 5, 2013 I think they dropped the 30 mil but I've went through 25' of the thinner so far and no complaints yet. Seems to work fine but the thicker magnet has a greater perceived value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 5, 2013 $40 more and get the 30 mil at twice the length http://www.ebay.com/itm/24-x-50-roll-flexible-MAGNUM-BEST-QUALITY-Magnetic-sheet-for-sign-vinyl-/110814951980?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19cd15fa2c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted September 5, 2013 I bought the thinner because I wasn't paying attention and will be switching back just because I like the feel of the thicker but the thinner magnet seems to be doing fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
