    They have a cnc vinyl cutter that they use to make lettering for metal signs. I just scanned the image and touched it up, they converted the file for me and cut the vinyl. I'm thinking about asking if I can get some in blue or orange. Not sure if they will do any more.

    I have a vinyl cutter. I will make them if people here want them.

    We have to first all agree on a colour for the standard "Red"

    My machines that have the stickers on them are all a bit faded. They look kind of orange-red to me almost the colour of the tulip petals.

    If someone has an unfaded one and can say for sure, then please say something.

    If you want a custom colour I can do that too but I would like a consensus on the standard "Red" first please.

    The colour chart can be found here: http://www.gspinc.com/downloads/PDF/...20_225_280.pdf

    The last page has colours that are almost triple the price of the first two pages.

    The color I would choose for mine would be "Warm Red"



    Now for a price...hmmm... The hard part is payment method as change does not mail well.

    How about $2 for the first 4 and $1 for each next 4.(you will get an extra one or two as they can be tricky to get on when that small)

    Custom colours(the third page of metallics and reflectives) add $2 to the total.

    Does that sound fair?


    I think we should all agree on a "Red" first and then decide on the next colour as I would need to buy the material by the yard and if you are the only one that wants four of that colour I would be out the difference.


    I am open to any and all suggestions about price, payment and colour selection so lets hear them if you have them.



    Also, whom do I contact on the board to find out if this is OK to do? I don't want to take advantage of someone else's work of maintaining and supporting this fine board without their permission and donating a percentage back to here.

    Many of the machines people own need new decals or decals to redo faded areas and unless one has the skills and equipment, it can be difficult to figure out how to go about doing this. So thanks for offering to help.

    Hello Cystic,

    Can you cut other shapes as well? Do you own a sign shop?

    Your skills and equipment could work for other parts of machines as well.

    I have worked in a few sign shops in all areas of production.

    I have a plotter/cutter, the software needed, and the knowledge to use them both.

    Anyone with the above has their own sign shop these days.


    I can cut just about any shape you like.


    But, this is Cardwwi's thread, please post any further questions on this subject to me here:

    I just got these new replacement crown tulip stickers back from the printers, I have not try them yet but was wanting to know if it would be something that others may want?
