Whats the largest font you are able to cut? and can you do multiple layers that are shadows of the text.
Right now I have three layers to get the effect I want but the guy I hads make them made the font too small to see clearly from any real distance.
The colors I had him use were the reflective vinyls(glass embedded) they use for Fire and Ambulance trucks(Red and Blue).
Anyhow I can email you the original design if that would help determine if this is within your equipments range.

With my current cutter, my maximum cut height size is 6".  Maximum width is 39".  One of these days, I'll step up to a decent sized cutter.  I can do multiple layers though. :)

This is the name on our boat currently but the font ended up a bit too small to read from any real distance so I want to size up the lettering and maybe perhaps change the flames to be a bit more stylish, the water droplets are fine.
So, lets say each word would be 16-18 inches long and about 4 to 5 inches tall.....how would that look esthetically to you?
I need opinions....and of course a price.

As I said before its 3 layered to get the depth/shadow effect. Bottom layer grey, then Black then the colored layer. The top colored layers are the reflective tape(crushed glass) used for Ambulance and Fire trucks which I really happen to like alot.
Thanks in advance Doug.

OK, I'll look into this.  Since, I don't stock that specific vinyl, I'll need to check my catalog for pricing. :)

Also, the height limitation will make the width of each word around 16" max. :)

Thanks Doug. I have to actually go measure the boat to make sure I don't undersize it like last time but I'm probably pretty close. :stupid  :) I have loads of verticle space and significant horizontal space with a towhook between the words.
Don't hesitate to fiddle with the artwork itself and see if there's a shape that you think looks nicer. The word 'wave' gets small so its even harder to read. I was trying to give it a wave'ish shape :banghead ....using just a word doc. The vinyl guy added the flame and droplet effects.
Any creative revelations will be appreciated  :laugh
