  • One of the questions we a lot is, how come you don't print directly to your signs or vinyl instead of doing each color separately? This is a great question if you are not familiar with the process and that's why you got to watch this before starting a decal business. A printer - cutter is the best equipment you can get if you can afford it but let's be honest, not many people has thousands of dollars to start a decal business and that's why starting with just a vinyl cutter makes more sense. Equipment and materials used: Graphtec CE6000-60, CorelDRAW software, Oracal 651 vinyl, RTape ClearChoice AT75, Magnum magnetics, rapid tac, Tape application roller.

    Hello everyone! Thanks for supporting and watching our content. We will make an updated version of this video, we need to cover a little bit more about printing vs vinyl cutting, to some people this video made it sound like getting a printer was a bad idea or that vinyl cutters are a better option. We need to clarify that that’s not what we tried to express. Although digital printer’s are a bigger upfront investment, they are better in anyway possible. If you decide to get one, you will save a lot of time & money for each product.

      Question, I plan on making car decal stickers but don’t know where to start. Right now doing research before I buy anything. What machine is good for making car decal stickers? Also, my budget is around 300 for a machine. Don’t want to waste my time or money. Any advice would be helpful thanks

    thank you so much for your videos! I have a question, I've seen other people use some sort of printable vinyl i guess it is, where it has the whole design like images and all on vinyl and all they do is just peel off the back of it and stick it to the sign and that's all. What are your thoughts on that material? I hope you know which im referring to i dont really know the name of it i think its printable adhesive vinyl, looks like a sticker of the image and they just peel off and stick. Supposed to be water and weather resistant, just want to start my own business and trying to find out whats best material and cheapest to use 😅. Muchas Gracias by the way!

    Great videos on your channel. Do you guys have any recommendation on cutting needle brands and angles (45 vs 60)? How long do they tend to last for you? Also it would be great if you guys put a video of what the cuts look like up close when they come out of the cutter. I am using a uscutter and would love to compare

    • @RDIdecals
      @RDIdecals  Год назад +1

      Hello! We have both angles 60 for thicker materials (rhinestone materials) and 45 for most of our vinyl's. The brand we got last time - not the best brand honestly - was clean cut. You can't go wrong with Graphtec blades, you should check out: www.graphtecamericastore.com/

  • @Roberto84cc
    @Roberto84cc Год назад

    When I apply application tape, I do the opposite. I put the application tape underneath (sticky side up), fix it with 4 pieces of tape on the sides, and then apply the vinyl by unrolling it over. Very fast and only 1 person can do it.

    When weeding you pulled the vinyl off pretty fast, but sometimes if I try that the letters will come off with the vinyl needing removed so I go slower and ready to hold a letter with a ball tip poker so it doesn't get lost in the mess. Is there something specific causing this or do you not have this issue?

    • @RDIdecals
      @RDIdecals  Год назад

      Hello! Sometimes we come across this issue. The first thing I would do recalibrate blade and cut force, if you have it at high speed, maybe slow it a bit. Maybe type of vinyl plays a role. Hope you fixed this issue, sorry for delayed response.
