Look what I got...

Ordered and got this a couple weeks ago at work, but finally got around to playing with it since it's slower now.



It's a vinyl cutter. I have rolls of black and white vinyl, and this machine cuts out text or logos or anything I send to it from the computer. It's like a printer, with with a little micro blade on it that actually cuts the patterns out. This is my first time ever seeing one, or using one, so I was excited. So I tried it out.

This is what I'm Supposed to be using it for.


This is what I used it for


Pulled up the Eagle logo Brian had, converted it quickly to a vectored image, and "printed" it. It's hard to see when it's actually cut on the vinyl. So I pulled out the "negative" off the sheet. It's a sticker on the other side. Pretty sweet. $3k for the machine with my discounts.

Re: Look what I got...

Oh man!!! I'm jealous dude. Those things are nice and I've always wanted one...

Is this at work or at home that you got this? I had thought about investing in one to do vinyl work at the side. There can be great money in that if you get enough people wanting stuff made.

And hurray for my awesome Eagle logo I made. lol

That's at work. Hell that's not my personal money. Didn't even come out of my budget this time around!

Re: Look what I got...

Damn haven't been here in a while.

It's peel and stick. Sticks really well too. I also have big 30"x200' rolls of clear tape that goes over it then to seal it.

PM me for anything.

Re: Look what I got...

Would have to. The vinyl rolls are $75, the tape is $80 a roll, and then have to factor in blades, time, and shipping

Wouldn't be bad. It's really not that expensive when you think about it. But the money would go right back into my work budget. I wouldn't be making anything off of it
