    it is genaerally recommended that you leave printed vinyl for several hiurs or overnight befire cuttiing into the printed areas.

    As Dave says, leave them for a while before cutting.

    If the colour goes right to the edge, at least 24hours.

    if you do need to cut it straight away leave about a 6.25mm bleed. Then you should be ok.

    I didn’t want to say anything, but I thought the spelling wasn’t up to your usual standard. 😀

    Nah, broadband is off at work (thanks BT), so been reduced to using my E71 phone to do my emails & surf t’internet.

    To add insult to injury, my ‘carpal tunnel’ is playing up so trying to use my left hand for typing on the phone and reduce the use of the mouse (not easy doing it left handed)…resulting in gibberish that takes faaaaar too long to fix.

    Wine…noooooo. Not me….not whilst there’s beer, whisky & brandy in the house 🙂
