does anyone know of a vinyl supplier in devon?

[Robert Lambie]

we have a few members in your area mate, dave rowland is one of them. im sure someone will be able to advise.
most if not all suppliers deliver next morning.

[Mike13401]

thanks for quick reply.As I said its not a question of delivery but more that I need to see the products as I am cutting stencils for airbrush work.

have you had a look at beej curtis’s website mate?
i am sure beej will know the best type of materials for this sort of thing and probably give you advice on the suppliers also.

that said, in the past i often used regular stencil vinyl. you can buy this in 50mtr rolls from most good suppliers. doesn’t cost much either…
i used it when i was spray inking banners and stenciling curtain sided trucks.

What kind of work are you doing. Perhaps I can help I am in Newton Abbot

Have looked at BEEJs site and in fact tried to get info on his airbrushing courses but recieved no reply.So I booked my course elsewhere and I guess he must be very busy at mo. Thanks for the advice.Mike

Hi Peter I am trying to cut stencils for airbrush tattoos.Some of the stuff I have I think is in Mylar and others in some sort of vinyl.But it has to have right feel to it.I also want to make stencils for other airbrush work like bike tanks.etc.
You can get me direct on (mod-edit)
Would apreciate any help as totally new to stencil and vinyl cutting and struggling a bit at moment.
Tnanks.Mike

Hello from Barnstaple

Just for reference Mike, http://www.jagsignsupplies.com/ is pretty local for supplies although I dont see any kind of vinyl on it, but might be useful for other things. Our vinyls come from Spandex in Bristol, cant really help on Mylar.

Hi Mike
This ebay link may be of interest. The guy is in Plymouth but I’m not sure if will be accommodating with supplier details!! (Too close?) Worth the cost of the stencils I should think though?

Cheers peter

Thanks Peter
I have samples of the type of material i need to source.Just need someone who knows vinyl business to identify it. Have contacted this guy in past and he wasnt very helpful even when I was considering buying his stencils. What I really could do with is some advice on cutting the stencils.Ie.what software,putting bars in to design to stop losing parts.etc.
I am using a creation 630 cutter and have managed to get over most of the teething probs.I was advised to try Signgo software as you can try it free for 30 days and the cheap price.Unfortunately cant seem to do anything other than cut simple text in vinyl.Seems a lot of people are using Corel so is that better option? Any help appreciated . Mike (?) (?)

[Peter Mindham]

Hi
Corel will work as long as you can get the drivers to work. I am sure Big DaveR could help there. I use Signblaster with my Omega and it works just fine. Only use Corel with my printer at the moment so can’t help further there. I too, found the guy on ebay very unsociable!!
Peter

[David Rowland]

well corel is okay but doesn’t have any means of running a cutter unless the creation has some control system that links to a print driver or alike.

HI Mike

I am based in exeter, if you want to bring in your sample I can have a look and perhaps advise where to source.
