Here is the information from YouTube for the settings I use for perf cuts on my Graphtec FC 9000 cutter. 90% of all the decals I make are perf cut. It doesn't wear out the blades or cut strip any more than normal.

That would indeed take it to the next level! Great idea.

Generally speaking, PVA Supply has the seamless patterns you are looking for. Just buy one and print it seamlessly. Somes times when I print the patterns, I double laminate them to make them stiff for drum wraps. https://pva.supply/?s=abalone&post_type=product If you're not a person that...

Well there ya go! I have a recommendation for 3M 8048G is a 2mil gloss, calendered, non-pvc overlaminate that is suitable for flat or simple curves to replace my calendared HP laminate because it shrinks. Then the recommendation for cast only vinyl still leads the pack. Which begs the...

Allright, is there a cost-effective cast laminate that you would recommend?

As a follow up question? Does Oracal 210 Laminate do this? Should I switch?
