FMF is very very good....it even lists similar fonts. Searches through fonts both online and in your computer... Well worth the purchase price.

best $49 you will ever spend https://www.findmyfont.com/download/download-pro-edition

Looks like it was created from Batman Forever....

I hear good things about Find My Font software... Haven't bought it yet but will if the need arises. I have about 13,000 Fonts I've arranged in a File System of 74 Sub-Categories. Your submission's Styles that stood out to me were 'Sport', 'Square', and 'Futuristic'. (3 of my 74 Folders names) Your submission's attributes that I noted were the particularities with the 'A' & the 'T'. Typed your Search Word Example into VinylMasters' Font Manager & looked in one my 'Sport' Folders (101 entries) and found it. It was also in my Sans Serif>Square and Futuristic folders. Though most of my work is Custom design, there have been plenty of times where I could not identify a Clients' Font Submission. I have gotten around the problem with either offering a more similar/suitable/ better substitute or telling them to 'Purchase' it. (That tends to get them off of it pretty quick) Some of the Free Online Search can sometimes help but most Submissions need work in Photoshop first. I call that 'Plan B'. Software is helpful but a thorough Study & Understanding of Fonts and their Proper Application will get you further. Sorry it sounds so smug but it's true.

I have a Stalhs heattronic 11x15 I bought 5-6 years ago that’s still in the box.....I am probably going to start using it soon to add to the services offered I am probably going to retire because of my knees and ankles are shot so I will offer signs ready to install and possibly decals, license plates and shirts and screen printed and printed services from my vendor. Getting old sucks and I can’t do what I need to do in the contracting business or the sign installation business.

You don’t want to stack rolls especially 50 yard rolls it will cause flat spots......either stand on end or hang on vinyl rack that you could install high above your cutter or other spot so you don’t loose floor space.

OR maybe get an external optical drive. They don't cost much.

Get that press out of the box! Heat press is really fun. ...and here are your first two shirts for yourself...I personally have one of each!

A quality paper tape medium or high tac according to the size and how detailed your design is. I also squeegee the back of the backing paper...then as Skeeter said remove the backing paper from the cut vinyl. To remove the mask spray rapid tac on the paper take your hand and rub it in when the mask bubbles it is very easy to remove.

Holy Pickup Truck, Batman!

Hi Felix. The quick answer is YES, you'll be able to download and activate the VinylMaster software online. It is a program from FutureCorp. and they have a D/L on their website. https://iifuture.com/vmfull/getvm.htm Alternatively, you can run the cutter using SignBlazer, which is a free (unsupported) option. http://www.uscuttersupport.com/downloads/Software/SignBlazer/signblazer_setup.exe

First off, you don't lift decals from the backing, you will actually lift the wax paper backing up also doing that, and it will stick to the back of your decal. You squeegee the decal front transfer tape, real good, then turn the decal face down and slowly peel the backing away from the decal. It makes a huge difference. I actually write this on every decal that I sell. I use Main ( NEKOOSA) medium tack paper tape, and have for many years. No problems or complaints. I sell some very large and detailed designs. I had to look that tape up MT80P. Paper tape is the way to go. Not that clear stuff. You cannot, roll, bend ,stretch or use the MT80P wet. Pros use paper tape. Another problem, could be that your cutting too deep and pushing the vinyl into the backing. Possibly you are using the wrong blade depth instructions that are out there. . Never use instructions that use a credit card or post it notes for setting blade depth. This is the correct way to set your blade depth. To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. You should just barely see and feel your blade tip out of the blade holder. The transfer tape that I use is very similar to this. I have bought mine from another dealer for many years now, closer to me. https://www.uscutter.com/Main-Tape-GXP750-PerfecTear-Plus-Medium-Tack-Transfer-Tape

Thought Id throw out this idea if you haven't seen them yet. There are lots of versions on Facebook right now. These are what I'm selling. I've sold quite a few in 4 different schools. Luckily, I had a good supply of colors and signs ready.

there are cheaper reflectives but I always went for quality over price.
