  1. Logo Help

    It will be cast red vinyl with the logo and wording on both driver and passenger doors and on the back of each van. I'm not worried about payment upfront, I work there as a teacher as well. They are 60% of all the business i get in this small town.
  2. Logo Help

    I'm sure everyone's seen school vans driving down the highway with something like "Perryton ISD" on the doors. My local school has asked me to redo the vinyl stickers that are currently block print and very plain looking. I'm stumped in what to do and would like any suggestions. I've attached...
  3. Type of Paint

    My school has a PlasmaCAM that we cut out metal art with and we are currently using acrylic enamel paint to finish the metal with after we have applied primer. Does anyone else use this type of paint for outdoor use and what type of results have you had with it or does anyone use other types...
  4. Trademarks

    I'm a metal shop teacher and we just got a PlasmaCAM CNC machine that is capable of cutting out metal art. Students are going to be able to cut metal art for themselves. Is is OK for a student to take a trademark logo and cut it for themselves as a personal project. I know that they cannot sell...
  5. Paper Holder

    I am re-doing a "portable display system" for our school administrator to take with them to job fairs. (see below) The white boards are foam boards that I will apply vinyl to. One of the boards will show open positions printed out on an 11x17 sheet of paper. I'm looking for a way to attach it to...

  7. Vinyl broke the glass?

    All of you'll are correct! It is the ugliest sign I've ever done but it's exactly what the customer wanted. Thanks for the replies.
  8. Vinyl broke the glass?

    I put 3 layers of oracal 651 white, red and black for a hair dressing place on the front of the store on the inside of the windows. Attached is a picture. Their glass was broken, no one knows how, and the glass person told them the dark colored vinyl caused the glass to break by absorbing too...

  11. Clear glass frames for vinyl....

    The wife of a friend of mine bought a frame with clear glass and no backing that had vinyl lettering adhered with their family name on it in Oklahoma City. The picture was 18" wide by 14" tall and was bought for $120. That sounds like an 800 to 900% markup (the kind I love). I've done a couple...
  12. Matte Vinyl

    I'm looking to do some pictures to hang on walls with a floating glass panel. I will decorate the glass panel with vinyl but need to do it with matte vinyl. Will Oracal 631 exibition matte vinyl last forever inside or do I need something else? If so, what kind do you like and where do you...
  13. Oracal 651 Question

    The reason I asked was that I have a roll of 651 that I will probably never use the rest of (gray). It's going on an oil field truck that they will not keep longer than 5 years. At that point it will be pealed off anyway when they sell it or trade it in.

    Does anyone know who sells Oracal 751 by the foot? I have a multi-color job for a company that wants there tailgate covered with information. It's about 6 different colors and I don't want to order 6 30ft rolls. I will probably not use the remainder of the vinyl which will be a complete waste of...
  16. Screen Printing Start Up

    I'm looking at investing into screen printing equipment. I'm a school teacher and have the inside track into the schools PE, sports, orginazation shirts, etc. Looks like the money would be too good to pass up. I've looked at a few websites and wanted advice on companies you've had success with...

  18. X3 Text Outlining

    I'm getting frustrated trying to figure out how to make a cut ready file to export to my cutting software. I like when letters have an outline around them like the picture I've attached below. I'm using my outline tool to create 2 seperate outlines. The problem is that it creates a cutline for...

  20. Quick question on X3

    I've designed a multilayer logo on coreldraw x3 and need to send it to my vinyl cutting program. The problem is that when I export it to Cut Studio it exports all the cut lines for each layer like the pictures below. I need to merge or melt all 3 layers together in corel to 1 layer so that I...
