    Advice Help. 24" vinyl sign multi colour mirrored layering

    So a fellow consultant of my wife asked if I could make her some window decals but to stick on the inside of the window.
    They are 24" high and around 40" long.

    I have no issues layering multi colour vinyl up to 12" but 24" and that length.
    im stuck and looking for some help tips and advice.
    I wish I never offered to do this now.

    Long time since I did any cut vinyl, can you do each letter separately, would that help?

    One thing I remember doing was cutting a couple of +'s in the same place on all layers as registration marks and using them to line up.

    Obviously depends on how much you have in the job but I'd be tempted to to sub it out to a print and cut supplier. Bannerworld used to be ok but again not used them in ages.

    It was a favour rather than a job and the size of it is just a nightmare I scaled it down to just 12" to try it and oh my god nightmare!!

    Normal cut is easy and fine but the mirror cut nooo.
    i have had to turn it down it's just too much hassle for nothing.
