Ah, now I understand. I'm a frequent abuser of SBE, so let me see if I can shed a little light. If you're on the screen where you're supposed to select a graphic file to import into SBE and only see blank tiles, then a) you're not looking in the right place; or b) there are no graphic files in that directory that is compatible for viewing on SBE. These are the type of files that SBE can handle: *.dxf;*.eps;*.ai;*.bmp;*.tif;*.gif;*.pcx;*.tga;*.jpg;*.pcd;*.pct;*.psd;*.cmx;*.ps; But I'm going to tell you right now, that not all of those are vector, so make sure if you're wanting to cut something you're importing, it needs to be in vector format (because the vector engine in SBE sucks). Is this what your screen looks like?

Never believed in that equation. I always go length times width times what you charge. I was at 7 cents per square inch, but am up to 10 cents now. Also depends on how complex the design is. May go up.

You are going to be using a piece of vinyl that measures 22" x 72" in area A regular calculation for RTA decals is (L + W) /2 and using the above sizing you'll be at about $50. Do you want to provide decals at 50 cents each? Charge whatever the market will bear.

It already is HP-GL The only other is GP-GL which is Graphtec language. That is not a Graphtec. HP-GL is Hewlett Packard Graphics Language. HP-GL, short for Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language and often written as HPGL, is a printer control language created by Hewlett-Packard (HP). HP-GL was the primary printer control language used by HP plotters.

Test cuts are only 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Set up for 651, I do not change anything for HTV. And looks just like yours.

Not sure on the SC, but on the MH the test is only about 3/4" square. I would expect something close on the SC. Most vinyls are pretty close to the same thickness and just need slightly different pressure settings, but you will also find you'll need to adjust the blade depth for different brands, types, and sometimes even color.

PS, I am not a captain man, I like CRUZIN brand.

FYI, I can do letters, and cut them no problem.

Personally, I stay away from little decals. The money is in big decals. But you have to have a good cutter to do them. I can make 1 decal that takes me less time and more money than what your doing to do with that 100 piece order. But I only sell online.

from what I have seen in our area - car companies are bottom feeders and play one against the other including the grandma with her cricut for the lowest price. like others above said figure a price that includes your labor at a good rate and either get that price or let them walk. Smaller realtors are another group that do the same thing - the big ones order screen printed signs in qty to save money.

Figure out how long it takes you to cut and weed and process 1. Figure out your costs. Now make a profit. I don't go by any ones' prices. I figure out a profit for me. I don't care what others charge. And many charge less than me. I get and keep good business by my designs and service.
