    What size are they Cheryl? You might be able to put some magnetic in your plotter (depending on the thickness) and cut it that way, dont cut too deep, just enough to break the through to the magnetic and it should will tear along your cut lines. I suppose it will also depend on how many and what font your using

    Thanks for the link…
    I am just not comfortable with putting such heavy duty stuff through the cutter… I know what it does to stanley blades… Unless of corse this is a pretty common way of doing things??

    We do put an old blade back in the plotter right enough

    Was there not a thread a while ago about how it has the potential to stress out the motor? Only saying.

    Hi Cheryl

    I have used http://www.atbrown.co.uk in the past for a customer who
    wanted their logo and details on a reusable stencil.

    Customer was happy with it and ordered one for a different depot
    a couple of years later.

    I also saw details somewhere for http://www.smart-group.co.uk but I can’t
    comment on them as I have never used them.

    Hope that helps

    The atbrown web link is blocked here by Malwarebytes as a potentially dangerous site

    That’s odd Peter

    I looked on their site before posting and I have just had
    another look without any security issues.
