I'm struggling with large dot matrix so for now i'm going with vinyl. Looks like most people on this sight use Oracal 851. Where can I get it.
Thanks

Your best bet would be to get the 851 from ordway sign supply or signwarehouse.com . The pricing on those is around 100.00 for a 15" x 50 yd. roll which should last you a long time.

Is a thin premium cast vinyl the best solution so far?

I install vinyl, gluing dont work for me.

So it will have a perferated line @ a certain length on the roll?

Perforated vinyl is full of holes, like a screen door.
Non perf is not....

i thought the preforated meant on the sides of the vinyl.....it had the little wholes to feed thru the plotter....you know old school type plotters.....

Dat b tru, Perf has an edge like the old tractor-feed printers

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
