Although I am not disputing what Rodney is saying about cutting vinyl, and
the amount of Hydrochloric Acid released - it does need to be understood
that if you do have a problem cutting or engraving PVC products
voids the warranty on most machines. Rodney is extremely knowledgeable
and an asset to this forum. But personally I feel the risk of some damage
to the machine is not worth this job.
Consider finding a sign maker with a vinyl printer/cutter who will do your
project - right machine for the right job.

Rodney,
That's exactly what I'm looking for a white polyester inkjet "paper" that I'll then dome. I'll check out that link.

The polyester stuff we got from Daito worked real well. We had to make a sort of jig/template for registration in the laser to cut it . Colours and definition was excellent and no bleeding when doming . Its a sort of "poor mans "print and cut (well the laser is pretty expensive , but the printer was real cheap)
There is another machine from graphtec called a craft robo which will cut inkjet printed sheets using registration marks it reads- MUCH Cheaper than a laser

Have a look at it.

Thanks Rodney,
Its something I'll keep in mind for when business picks up. For now I have the Inkjet and the laser and neither is anywhere near being fully utilized. When I do need a cutter in the future I'll be able to do true vinyl too. I love getting toys, but I need some income first. This is a great job the toys are so versatile.
