Subject: Vinyl lettering

From: "David Bivins" <dbivins@...>

I have been discussing screen-printing with another member of this list, as
I have a very good connection. We will share our findings soon, I hope.
Anyway, my connection also has a vinyl sign cutter which is what you've been
describing for applying logos, etc. I don't think it's designed for very
small work, but I could be wrong. As described by others, it is essentially
a plotter with a blade rather than a pen. It uses rolls of vinyl that either
have adhesive on the front (if you're doing a shop window, e.g. and want the
vinyl inside) or back. You peel away that which you don't want (the
in-between bits) and then apply the vinyl, already spaced perfectly as it
still has the backing (which is not cut).

Did that make sense? If anyone has specific ideas for what they would want,
let me know.

David.
