magnetic material in a cutter ?
i know this may well be a very stupid question, but i’d rather ask it than bust my cutter !
i’m being asked for more and more mag signs these days, and i like to try and offer them in different shapes to the usual (which the customer normaly goes for anyways !), but cutting them out from a drawing, or even using a vinyl template, it very tricky to get smooth radius corners etc,
could it be feasable to run it thru the cutter to score it, so i can then finish the cut with a knife ?

I’ve tried it before Hugh and wouldn’t try it again personally….too many electronics things going on to lay mag. onto it. It did work okay though ;)didn’t cut all the way through.
I just use scissors now. They seems to work better for me than a blade.

I use the plotter that comes with an Edge to cut magnetic. This is stuff made for the edge though, with sprockets. Everything else I cut by hand.

There is a product here called ‘digimag’ that is designed to go thru solvent printers and be die cut. It will not cut completely thru as it needs to stay on the ‘roll so it does not wreck the process, then you just pull it apart when it is finished.
It is about the thickness of fridge mag too

thanks guys n gals, i was only really thinking of scoring it, so the knife had a guideline to follows, rather than cut it’s own as and whee it pleases ! it’s just soo hard to cut a good radius corner neatly, i guess i’m being fussy, and should by a corner radiuser things, i will one day !
Thanks
