  4. Dye/Pigment Canon iPF 750

    Before any one screams at me, I know this isn't a sign shop machine. When I opened my business last year I never planned on doing much vinyl. I had all print equipment for paper printing, business cards, brochures ect. Had prior 5 years experience in the field. I bought a GX-24 to cut "small...

  6. Customer provided decal kits

    Agreed, I charge my hourly shop rate and no guarantee on the vinyl. If you don't have a waiver made then make one. I get calendared vinyl stuff in people but on eBay that's junk.

The stand is nice but it you are doing shirt stuff and small decal orders buy the stand later. If you're...

  11. Roland GX-24 Cuts

    Thanks for the suggestions. It has gotten better, I was set on 35mm/s and slowed it to 25 I haven't had this issue and all my cast vinyls seem to cut fine, just the shirt vinyl wasn't doing to well. There is still a little "skip" maybe slow it down more or as suggested keep a fresh blade for...

    I know someone will know this right away. Mostly on shirt vinyl and most sign vinyl, the cuts seem to be dashed liked a perforated cut. I changed the cut strip. Could this be a speed issue, blade? Not sure

  20. Vehicle Wrap Wax or No Wax

    Going to be wrapping my work vehicle soon, I am working on the design currently. In the mean time I am having it detailed, cleaned and waxed. Is this a good idea before a wrap?
