Hi, I typically use 3M 40c with 8508 laminate. this was a pretty long time ago but I'm pretty positive that's what it was. I've used it for a long time and had good results. the initial tack is low but once squeegeed it's pretty tough. Thanks for the comment!

@@Blackcreekcustoms oh that is a little pricer vinyl that i use. if you dont mind me asking what did you charge for this and what was the size of this

I honestly don't remember. I currently charge $320 for a single sided 4x8 but need to go up on that some. Haven't revised my pricing since the first of the year. So it was probably around $200 for the board and print/lam. Then I would have added a half hour labor for ripping the board longways like that. And probably some time for artwork. So probably $250 - $300 total before tax.

It's a USTech 63in Laminator.

Thank you much

No problem! Thanks for the comment!

Glad it helped!

Thanks!

When I was using this plotter, yes I did have some problems with it reading registration marks on all prints lol. I have the FC9000-120 now, it's much better.

@@Blackcreekcustoms What workaround did you use to overcome glossy material scanning issue?

You can try putting masking tape over the registration marks. That has worked for me in the past.

I'm not really sure on that...I would think it would collapse/dent the foam core. I would check into liquid laminate if you haven't already. Thanks for the comment!

This one was just on how to get it started the correct way. I made another video on the entire process because a few people requested it but I never had time to edit the video. I'm slow at it so it's difficult to make time, one day I will though lol. Thanks for the comment.

Yes absolutely, I do it all the time.

HP Latex 335 is my printer. But there are lots of different ones out there. I have been happy with my latex though.

Hi, I think that was 3m 40c vinyl. Thank you for the comment

Sure did lol!

I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that model so I wouldn't know.

Hi, sorry but I don't have that laminator...

Have you heard about it?

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for the comment. It's 65 inches.

That is called a squeegee. That particular one has felt on one edge, they can be purchased at geekwraps.com

Thanks for the comment! That is a print that I printed on a different machine. The plotter is just cutting out the shapes.

@@Blackcreekcustoms ok what kind of a machine did you use to print those stickers ?

I use an HP Latex 335. I like the latex because you don't have to wait for the prints to outgas before laminating. FYI you'll need a laminator as well. I have a USTech laminator.

@@Blackcreekcustoms ok awesome thank you Sir

No problem

Absolutely, I have my speed at 40 cm/s

Thank you! You too!

Somebody had the nerve to tell me I was breaking flag code. I said "Thanks Uncle Sam. I don't think I'll be getting any Pg.11's anytime soon!" 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Absolutely! Thank you for the comment!

Hey Kathy, thanks for the comment! Are you having problems with getting the cutter to cut regular solid color vinyl? Or just printed decals with registration marks?

I’ve tried with registration marks and it gives me an error Everytime. When I keep trying it will eventually cut but totally off the whole picture. The guide it came with doesn’t tell me really anything but how to set it up out the box. This machine is expensive to just be sitting there not making money. Sorry im just so frustrated not bring able to figure it out. I haven't tried vinyl cut in a while to see if it still cuts correctly. I gave up along time ago and thought I would try again. please help thank you

@@zayakatpete I understand your frustration for sure. When I had that plotter it always gave me problems reading the registration marks as well. I would always get a mark scan error. I also had it do the same thing where it cuts off completely for no reason. For some reason that plotter just does not do well with reg marks. Are you using cutting master 4 to make your reg marks and cut? If not, download it and use it and see if that helps. When you place your reg marks, put them at least an inch outside the artwork, then also leave an inch on the outside the reg marks. Also, you have to make sure you load the print into the plotter as straight as possible when going to cut it. That's all I can really think of, hope that helps!

Thank you very much. I don’t think I’m using master 4 for the registration marks. I’m putting them straight from graphtec studio

@@zayakatpete gotcha, yeah I would try downloading cutting master 4 and using it. I never used Graphtech studio so I can't really speak on that. I'm not sure if it will help, again that plotter always gave me trouble with reading reg marks. That was ultimately why I eventually upgraded to the FC series. And my printer prints 60in, so I wanted to be able to cut 60in. Anyways, sorry I couldn't be of more help! I hope you get it figured out.

Awesome! Glad you liked it!

Hp t230 or epson t3170? Thanks for all your videos

Thanks for the comment! I'm honestly not familiar with either of those printers. I have an HP Latex 335. I've been very happy with it. I love the latex because you don't have to wait for the vinyl to gas out before you laminate.

I recommend the HP 365 or HP 700

No unfortunately you can see the cracks, almost looks embossed in the wrap. Any imperfections in the gel coat would need to be repaired prior to wrapping. With that being said, I have had people fill the cracks with fiberglass repair stuff, sand it smooth, then wrap it instead of trying to paint/re-gel it. Hope this helps!

I don't have this plotter any more, I now have a graphtec FC9000 but my settings on the FC9000 for cutting printed/laminated vinyl is 35 speed, 24 force. Yours will also depend on how far out you have your blade ran. Hope this helps.

Brother where are you from please reply 😊

I need this mechine

Sure, It would obviously vary per your area. But for a 4ft x 8ft sign on ACM like this I charge $320 for single sided and $487 for double sided. I use 3m IJ40c/8508 for the printing material.

They were die cut decals. A few different jobs nested together

Hey Marvin, yes we do custom orders. Send me a message on FB as to what you are needing and we will see if we can help you out. facebook.com/blackcreekcustoms/ Thanks!

@@Blackcreekcustoms I definitely will and thanks for reaching out

Absolutely! Thanks for the comment!

Hey sorry for the late reply, thanks for the comment. But no this machine does not print, this is the plotter, It only cuts. I printed the vinyl on an HP 365 printer. Have to add registration marks with your rip software, then the plotter reads the registration marks to know where to cut.

@@Blackcreekcustoms brother where u from ???

@@JEET_VLOGS561 We are in Middleburg, Florida. Thanks!

@@Blackcreekcustoms hp 365 is digital printer or inkjet? Thanks

@@emem7494 Hi, the hp 365 is an inkjet printer that uses latex inks. It cures the ink as soon as it comes out of the printer so I can go strait to lamination without having to wait 24 hours for outgassing.

That's a tough one to answer bud. I have a spreadsheet I've made with my most common materials with their costs. I type in the sq ft I'll be using on each material involved in the job and it calculates my markup. Then I add my labor at the end to get the final price.

The brand is US Tech, I can't seem to find a link to their website. I purchased it directly from US Tech. I recommend getting a better one if you can afford it. I have managed with this one but not without problems. Mainly feed issues, but have thrown away a lot of prints because of it tracking off. I've got it dialed in pretty good now, but it took me a long time. I don't have any recommendations for what would be a better one but I haven't been looking. I would advise searching some forums for ideas on which ones are good.

Hell yeah! Get it while the gettin is good!

Thanks!

This particular decal was Oracle reflective black. I think the product number is 5100 but I can't remember for sure. It's cool stuff.

Thanks!

Can i have it

I’ll buy it from ya

use it for paper weight 🤔

No ma'am, this one only cuts. I run a HP Latex 335 as my printer. When your doing your artwork you add cut lines to the objects, then use a separate program like Cutting Master to add registration marks. The plotter reads the registration marks to know where the cut lines are that you set up in your art file. Thanks for your comment!

Hi, thanks for your interest. Unfortunately we stopped doing online sales to focus back on our local business. I know back when I was selling them online there were other people seeling pretty much the exact same decal on Facebook and Etsy. Thanks!
