Hello
Anyone tried the vinyl sample pack that USCutter has on their site ?
Looking for some feedback on it.

It is a monomeric vinyl which means that it should not be used for long-term outdoor exposure, but for indoor use and temporary banners, it is an outstanding value. Let me know if you have any specific questions about it.

One thing to note, the sample packs come with all material rolled onto a single 3" core for shipping efficiency. They must be unrolled to use each color.

What force should be used for the sampler vinyl ? I should have it in a couple of days.

Using a REFINE MH-721.

Thanks
Mark

Blade depth is key and downforce is more for fine tuning. Anywhere from 50-100 should be fine if you have the blade depth set right using the MH721.

Default Re: USCutter vinyl sampler pack

First the site says 7 years but does not mention indoor or outdoor usage. Kinda misleading I think for us newbies just getting into the sign side of this
  • Vinyl colors include black, blue, red, and yellow
  • Up to 7 years of durability
  • Factory fresh
I have been cutting shirt vinyl (multicut and spectracut II) so should the blade depth be the same for the sign vinyl ?

Is cutting the frosted the same as the other ones ?

Thanks for the help
Mark

Hey Mark,, one thing you have to remember when you cut sign vinyl you do not mirror the image, I still do this all the time,, its always good practice to do a test cut when you go from heat press vinyl to sign vinyl just to make sure your blade is adjusted correctly and your down pressure is right.

Mark I never change the blade depth when cutting sign vinyl or heat press vinyl. My downforce pressure for sign vinyl is 40 and for heat press vinyl it is 80. That's the only thing I change.

Mark I do the same thing all the time and I usually don't realize it until I finish weeding it.

I normally realize as I am cutting it off the roll. Then I let out a string of my favorite curse words. Then the other half use to ask me what was wrong now she just yells from the living room "FORGOT TO REVERSE IT DIDN'T YOU".

Thanks
Mark
