I would get in touch with stich-up. he can print silver. it would look good on black

okies

i did think about re-doing the vinyl in white to match the leatherette stuff then doing the text in black
but that'll mean ordering more vinyl :~ as i don;t have any black or white lol

ps. it's actually a dark brown as that was the only colour i had that kinda matched the rest of the area lol

i just tried doing some in silver writing and it actually looks really nice but i think i might need a new blade
as obviously the text is really really small and it seems to be dragging the cutter rather than cutting (if that makes sense)
and the bits inside the e's for example are a right pain as they can't be 1/2mm big
so tiny for my old eyes lol

is that what happens when the blade gets blunt does it drag rather than cut?
still on my 1st blade from new as it doesn't get used much

yes. this what is happening. but also I dont know what degree is in robo. I know if you want to do smaller and finer bits you need 60degree angle blade. I dont think you can get this for robo tho

Don't know if this is any help with blades etc for your robo.. I have a Cougar but know that Dawn supplies plenty of products that are Robo compatible plus blades are a good price too

when they are that close together i would do one long strip with the details on, rather than lots of little ones. i might even go down the route of subbing a metal plate strip for it - in brass would look good
