I used Oracal which is a removable vinyl that we recommend for indoor walls. The image I used was a drawing that I did and converted into a cut file. Once you have your image in Design Space, change it to the size you would like to have it. I started out around 3 ft but the final version was larger than 5 ft by 5 ft. Next you will need to add a square in and change the size of it to fit the sheet of vinyl.
I adjusted the size of my rectangle to be 11 x Duplicate that shape several times because you are going to need quite a few to slice your image. Before you start slicing, I found it helpful to move the image to the top left hand corner. Rather than drag it over there you will need to adjust the position in the top toolbar.
Change it to 0 on both the X and the Y axis. Now Change your rectangle to that very same location. It's a little easier to have it in the background and you do that by selecting the Arrange and then Move to Back. Now that you have the rectangle in place and then main image in place you are ready to Slice.
Select the rectangle and select the Image. In the bottom right hand corner you will see the option to Slice. Once you slice the first set you will see all the pieces in the top right hand in the layers panel. Every time you slice something new it will appear on the top. From the layers panel delete the pieces that you do not need. If you accidentally delete the wrong one, don't worry, that's what the Undo button is for. Continue on with each of the remaining pieces. It is easiest if you don't try to move them all by hand, move with with the X and Y coordinates.
If you followed the same sizes that I did and starting with the top row the first rectangle will be at X 0, Y 0.
Make sure to use the transfer tape for it though, it is made specifically for that vinyl. Some folks love printed phototex but not me or my clients Nothing beats the quality and finish of Oracal The GFX works considerably better. The HT55 only semi-consistently lifted the vinyl from the release liner and then required quite a lot of force to peel up from the substrate.
The GFX grabs the vinyl well which is rate with , is easy to lay onto the substrate, is easy to remove from the substrate, and only shows any sign of lifting the vinyl from the substrate if you're cutting really THIN shapes. On the other hand, the GFX is slightly harder to lay onto the cut vinyl without wrinkling and tends to lift and bubble a bit if you handle the RTA graphic a bit roughly. Of course, then there's the whole clear vs paper debate, but that's not really about these specific products.
I've been doing wall art with and think it's pretty good. Although I admit I don't have much experience yet. Is the HT55 tape that much better? I've been using Rtape I think which was the 'general purpose' stuff when I bought everything. No real problems with it but it does have trouble picking up the vinyl off the backing sometimes.
I wouldn't mind trying something better. I use for all of my wall decals and it works great!!!! I am wanting a "cream" color and I see it comes in The new designer colours of have been good sellers I use Oracal also. I need to order other supplies though from a different vendor and they don't carry oracal. Has anyone used this type before and if so what do you think of it? I've been using Silhouette brand premium vinyl, it seems to adhere better to my textured walls than the standard Silhouette brand; but still not as easy to apply as a car window.
I'm not to impressed with it personally, at least not for walls, it might be better for windows. I gotta cast another vote in for the did it on the walls of the store front and now wow, I get a good amount of calls on it and do a good amount of installs. Oracal and use the app tape made for it!
Oh yeah those. Ironically labels are the adhesive product you most see in your every day life shipping labels, product labels, address labels and so forth. They are usually printed with special label machines that are able to produce rolls of labels using a few specific colors. Labels also tend to come in pre-defined sizes unless you are ready to invest in a custom shape. Stickers you stick, decals you transfer This title kind of sums it up in a very simple and understandable way. Example of wall stickers on sheets Decals , on the other hand, are transferred from one surface to another.
Example of an animal decal installed on a door those thin lines need a transfer surface Decals often consist of several separate part like letters or patterns, because thanks to the transfer surface they can be attached on the wall exactly with the same spacing as they were designed to have.
Geographical differences Ok, so now you know the difference between a sticker and a decal. And what about labels? Filed in: Tutorials. Previous article Great wall mural colour inspiration for your next room makeover.
