j_money 0 Posted November 17, 2014 I'm wanting to buy a vinyl cutter to save some on having decals cut for my shop. My logo printed is about 8"x4" and the largest thing I'll want to cut will be on my work truck and trailer which will end up being probably 48"x12." It's a fairly simple logo, which I've tried to post but for some reason it won't work. I've got my files in pdf and jpg, will they need to be converted to anything? Will this reliably cut what I need? I'm looking at the 34" cutter. One last question, is patterned vinyl available by the roll? I thought it would be neat to have some of my stickers cut out of American Flag vinyl. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KYSIGN 233 Posted November 18, 2014 I used a mh 721 for awhile and had no problems with it and decided to order another to increase my production. I had nothing but problems with the second cutter and returned it and bought a graptec instead. The mh series is a crap shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it would be neat to have some of my stickers cut out of American Flag vinyl. Thanks Yes, those raster files will need to be "vectorized" ---- do a search in the forums for plenty of info on that. Also, American Flag pattern vinyl can be printed for you by anyone with the right equipment, as a custom order to any size and style of stars & stripes that you want.
