Title: Challenge accepted- Cricut 1/8 inch letters
Post by: Paul Taylor on February 09, 2025, 12:54:48 PM
Sparky said he doubted my cricut would cut 1/8 in letters.
It will cut them just fine. Even smaller.
The problem is weeding them to use as a stencil. Need a magnifying glass and tweezers.

  Interesting. WHat would be easier is to find a way to make our own LetraSet dry transfer lettering!! The model rail roaders do have some sheet available all the way down to N-Scale but then you need to "build" what you want it to read. I did that by laying them out on clear decal paper, spray them to seal them, then apply like normal. But I guess you can just print what you need on a printer on decal paper and then do the same . I just refuse to try and keep a printer in house just to make the ink people rich!!

  Type at you later,

Not Letrasets but I wonder if HTV could be could be used and buried in clear using light coats?

I made mine a little larger and stuck them on. No fuel.

Why not decal paper in a printer?

I was asked about cutting a 1/8 inch paint mask.

But like Dan said. Ink is expensive.

My InkJet printer got used so infrequently that the ink cartridge was always Tango Utah. Got a laser printer now, which I also seldom use...mostly recipes that the spousal unit won't even try to use. If it doesn't come out of the freezer or a box, it's too confusing for her, near as I can tell.   R%%%%  Steve
