Pop Out Decals Stickers with FlexiPro and a Q Series or FC8000 Vinyl Cutter

Here’s how to cut “Pop-Out” printed decals using a vinyl sign cutter and FlexiSIGN PRO.

Yes, you CAN make Pop Out Decals Stickers with FlexiPro and a Q Series Vinyl Cutter

If you sell printed, contour-cut decals, you know that printing and cutting the images is only the first step. Okay, the first two steps. If you’re selling decals, especially at an event like a race or festival, you still have to cut them from the sheet of vinyl to give to your customer.

This can be done manually, or with a trimmer.  But wouldn’t it be nice if the vinyl cutter could do that for you?

If it’s a Q Series or Graphtec FC8000 plotter, it can. These advanced machines can perform a standard contour or “kiss cut” around the printed graphic, then cut through the vinyl in a perforated pattern so that you can then pop out the decal and hand it to your customer for them to apply whenever they choose. It’s called Perf cut and it’s pretty nifty option, especially for on demand decals. So how does it work?

The GO UNO LED laser transfer printer has proven itself to be a versatile platform for digital decoration of garments and rigid substrates like mugs and mouse pads. Digital decorators with varying levels of experience are enjoying its ease of use and excellent print quality.

(If you want to see a video overview of the Go Uno process, click here.)

As with any digital transfer process, there are a few tips and tricks that can make the difference between a long learning curve and a quick start to success.  When there are orders to fill and things are going right, a simple thing like a T-shirt transfer can seem like scaling Mount Everest.

To help you  move those mountains, we offer these GO UNO  troubleshooting tips. 

T Shirt Vinyl – Discussion of Liners

T Shirt Vinyl – High Tack vs Low Tack Liner

One of the challenges in using T-shirt transfer film (aka, t shirt vinyl) for garment decoration  is learning to adapt to different films. Not all heat transfer films are the same.  Many garment decorators want to use the same plotter settings and processes for all their custom Tees. That’s a little like using the same recipe whether you’re cooking chili or lasagna.

Our new EnduraTex Flex T Shirt Vinyl is a film of a different flavor. It serves up very soft  and durable graphic Tees and custom apparel; but you may have to change your recipe just a little to get the flavor just right. Like any good recipe, the secret is in the ingredients.

One of the ingredients that differentiates  EnduraTEX Flex from our other offerings  is the liner. It works a little differently than Easy Weed or Easy Weeding Sport.  So is the new EnduraTex Flex better or worse? Like, food, it’s partly a matter of preference.

Here’s how to choose what’s right for you.

MACtac 8900 Indoor Vinyl New Designer Colors

Variety is the spice of life.

We added variety to our extensive line of vinyl films a couple of years ago with the addition of MACtac 8900 Pro matte vinyl.  MACtac 8900 supports our growing number of customers selling vinyl graphics for interior decor.

Variety is essential in this segment where people may actually use vinyl to decorate the shower stall or the spice rack. This market segment thrives on decorative images and inspirational messages applied to the walls of bedrooms,  dens, and kitchens.

MACtac further spiced things up recently with the addition of “mustard” and 15 other new colors. Here’s how the MACtac Designer’s Series of new colors came about.
