Look great Dan.
Are they Laser cut / engraved?

Our machine at the school has an invalid guarantee if you cut Vinyl of any sort.

They are laser cut. To be fair out laser is out of warranty now.

Not trying to be funny Dan, take care!

There are a couple of good reasons for not cutting Vinyl on a Laser.

1. It is corrosive to the machine parts, The Gold mirrors on ours are £106 each (5)

2. The filters on the extraction unit are not designed for Vinyl, and the nasties will make it into the room!

No.2 is the most important mate!

Point taken. I will tell our head of department. It was his idea!

Take a guess
Showing my age there, I had to read the label to work out who the second one was :sob:

They look excellent Dan even if your head of department has poisoned your lungs in the process, I'm sure Slash would approve :whistling: :up:
