Ca22 0 Posted November 26, 2016 I have a project where I want to cut down the rolls of Oracal 651 to various large shapes, and cut through the backing as well so it's flush with the vinyl. Would the Titan be able to do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted November 26, 2016 Graphtec and Summa will do a "Perf Cut" which cuts the vinyl and ever so often cuts the backing but steps back up and then down again creating a perforated backing that you can effectively pop the graphic out of. This is typically done on simple designs in conjunction with a printer to produce easily removable individual "stickers". I don't think the titans (1, 2 or 3) will do it. My cutter WILL do it but I DON"T do it. If I had a printer and was making "Stickers" I possibly would but using this feature cuts into your cutting strip and ends up creating expenses and fiddling around with that more often so I refrain. You have to keep in mind that the vinyl is being fed through the machine with pinch rollers in most cases out on the outer edges which if you cut through your carrier sheet completely in between the rollers it will shortly wad up into a large mess. Most of us accidentally experienced this effect at some point in our learning curve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted November 26, 2016 Well I don't believe you can do that with any vinyl cutter unless you don't mind damaging the cutting strip and also dulling the cutter blades... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted November 26, 2016 Does,t the graphtec FC. have the ability to cut thru the backing? Cost will be way more but I think it does that. The Titan would definitely cut into the strip if you did this as stated above Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted November 27, 2016 I know the FC does for sure, Kind of thought the new CE had that option also but may not. Summa does as mentioned but it's hard on the cutting strip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
