Very cool. Might have to look into one. Lol

Can you make me some teal Trovare Mirage stickers?? It`s my dream boat, still on the hunt for one with peanut ports, you know for that down low get on plane power.
Thanx you`re the best!

You just got me thinking about the some of the stuff I could make with this thing.....

Awesome cigarette logos?

I have yet to find a cig logo I can use.... I got the cigarette signature ... All u got for cig so far

Whelp, I have to have one of these things!

I have files in both EPS and PDF formats with cig. stuff. shoot me your email

we put our logo on the back of some hoodies for the employees Friday, turned out really well. I will have to confirm that this is what we used, but it is a much thicker material. Once pressed on, it feels thick like something that was glued and flocked. kinda hard to describe, but I am going to be ordering some more. Going to do a polo shirt to match my 272LS Formula. haven't decided on a style yet. maybe just the bird on the back and Formula 272 LS over the breast.

I bought a Copam-2500 from UScutter.com for $800 back in 2008 or so. has worked great for us, pretty basic model but works just fine as a 24" wide hobby cutter! heck, I vinyl cut stuff for all kinds of things. Everyone should have one! In January I add a 3D ABS printer to my toy shed. Can't wait for that.

This is what I used.... I really like the way it turns out. And it was cheap to grab a few colors and learn on. I had on a shirt I made Friday night at some yup bar I forced to go to and had a few peoerboat ask me where I got it form because the liked to so much..... Funny when I told the Walmart ....LOL.

Good call wish I would have bought mine years ago......

Man, I hate having to correct myself. Wrong material, we have been using the Siser EasyWeed Stripflock. It is about 4 times as thick as the EnduraTex HotFlock, I had to increase the cutting depth of the blade, but then it worked pretty well.

Do you find that sign warehouse is better to order from than uscutter? They get the stuff to my door in 2 days..9.99 shipping

First attempt at a 2 color sticker.... Room for improvement

so...let me make sure I understand this correctly... I can spend $500.00 + or - and can logo my employees shirts, cut out mask covers, and have a cool toy to print boat stickers ??

Yup... The iron on heat transfer for shirts can get a little tricky.... I have had 3 wins and 1 loss..... But I'm just using a $17 iron from Walmart.... But I have washed the shirts and they are all good.

Looking good. Glad to see there was a Donzi intervention...:)

I'll split the cost with you.....

done

Tbone you can make your signature decals to place on boats

For heat transfers, I am using a $200 clamshell press I bought on eBay over a year ago. About 16" square, works great.

As far as why I buy film at sign warehouse, can't remember. Might have been a difference back then on price or film suppliers, no idea anymore.

The heat press us next on my list...... I really want and embroidery machine

Lol...joe and I are talking about the dec run. you in this year? If weather is right we will do it. Might need to bring Gman with us to pick up the bar tab....

Yea we plan to do it again this year. I told Gman about it a few weeks ago. I'll pressure him Monday

Working on 2 layer stuff.....these are test combos for a friend that were are going to do a few small changes to his boat this winter. Doing a complete interior and some grafix on his ride.[ATTACH=CONFIG]512595[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]512595[/ATTACH]

I picked up a refurbished 24" cutter frm Sign Warehouse for $200.
It came with the beginner software, so I can't modify anything to a vector files
Took a while to get it set up in my computer correctly, but I'm having fun with it now.
Feel free to send me any cool vector files that I can play with.

They look good! I read your thread and just had to go buy a "MH" series from US Cutter. What file type did you cut all these stickers from? My vinyl didnt come yet but everything else it set up and running. Thanks!!!

I use an image converter to turn them into SVG files. It don't work with everything but I would say %85 it is successful.

This will help you a lot

Use the pen adapter on paper to practice.... Post some pics. Let's see what ya got.

Cool, I will try it out. Thanks for the tips!

I picked up a Brother machine a couple years ago. Its pretty cool and anything I can do in vinyl I can do in embroidery BUT . . . . and its a big but . . . there is very little corolation between vector art software and embroidery. I have had to learn a whole new ulility and a whole new way of setting up graphics. The formats are heavily gaurded and there really not a whole lot of similarities. Its cool but waaayyy different. I kinda have to laugh every time I go into the sewing and embroidery supply shop to get some more colors or stabilizer lol there usually a couple of blue hairs milling about an me in there. The lady I usually buy stuff from always tries to getme to do some of there classes :D somewhow I think I may stand out in there

I hear ya Dave every now and again I have to run to the fabric store to look for something. At first they talk to me like I'm a child.... Then once they find out what I do, they have a bunch of questions. I always tell them they should learn boats and cars..... Pays better than quilts. LOL. When I have things embroidered now the shop I go to sends the image out to get "digitize" I think she said the company that dose it is out if china. It takes 2 days to a few hours... She charges me $35 for it. I'm willing to bet that's prob the best route to take since your not wasting time setting the image up.

yep, it actually use to cost me right around a hundred to get an image digitized, price has come down a bunch over the years. Some stuff I can do from scratch but more complex stuff I still send out. I dont use it a lot so im not real proficient, I need to put more time into it. The stuff I've done so far is cool but took me while.

The stuff I had dne was basic so the cost I'm sure goes up

Designed these from scratch

Made the stencils to sand blast this for my dad for X-mas

Shirt press is in!!!

Nice!
