Well, I had some difficulties with the wall vinyl I’ve been using so I decided to stop being so cheap and do a bunch of designs to practice installing. Did some research on other user’s different techniques for Oracal 631 wall vinyl application. I cut most of the designs before I realized I should cut some [...]

Tried to put up this dragon design onto my wall at home and ran into a few problems. Some people have had problems with the Oracal 631 vinyl material not lifting off the liner with even the highest tack tapes and I was one of them Thursday night. I squeegeed the front and back of [...]
I wanted to use up the remainder of the sample sheet of wall vinyl today. I picked a bunch of designs that looked cool but were simple. Or so I thought. I sent a design to the cutter, cut it and started weeding it out when I hear “Holy crap! That’s the design your doing? [...]

I started with a stock 1 color frame design and modified to include multiple colors and [...]
For my second vinyl project I had to try a multi-color design. My company’s logo was created by a design agency but the vector artwork was kinda sloppy so this was a perfect opportunity to hone my Corel Draw skills. I cleaned up the graphic to make a nice 3-color design ready for vinyl cutting. [...]
Purchased a Graphtec CE5000-60 (24 inch. wide) Vinyl Cutter. Finally got my cutter mid January but I was working on a database project at that time so it had to sit. Got it unpacked at the end of January but had a few issues with the software plugin for Corel Draw. Emailed tech support for [...]
