Yes I do know all that it’s just weird how F&M sells stock and some they sell have no watermark over it and some they do. If you have to contact them for permission why even allow people to add it to their carts? Sorry for confusion I’m sure I didn’t explain myself correctly.

I understand what your saying. So it don’t matter if they have copyrighted over the image or not before you purchase you really should contact them about reselling that design?

Yeah I ended up finding it .. sorry it was small print under everything lol. I do have another question that I can’t seem to find a straight answer for. There stock transfers come in a minimum of 25, but can we resell those designs ? I’m sure they own the rights to them and allow us as clients to resell if there minimum is 25 or is it technically for “personal use”? I also noticed some of there stock has copyrighted over it and some do not. What’s up with that ? I could totally be looking at this the wrong way so my apologies if it seems like I’m trying to take someone else’s design I just don’t understand at all on the stock transfers what it’s for and they don’t really give much information on it. Also the prices don’t change when you click on design with shirt compared to just design. So wouldn’t they lose a tone of money selling with shirt?

Hey wildgoose do you have to mirror your designs when sending it to F&M or do they automatically do that for you? Or is this type of transfer not need mirroring?

Thank you !

Definitely graphtec. I myself started with a titan after a few years I wanted to upgrade and I needed a little more so I ended up with the graphtec ce6000-60. I actually still use my titan to this day but for simple designs and all that to save my blade on the Graphtec. Blades can be expensive and I figured if I can save the life of my graphtec as well as blades by using the titan for simple stuff it’s a win win. Lol well anyway welcome and good luck. I’m new myself and the men and women here are awesome!

I got a free sample sheet coming in tomorrow from F&M.i know it’s a sample but 2 day delivery? I will definitely take that lol. Keep you all posted on what I think. I will check Howard’s out after I do a few test with the F&M ones first. Thanks again guys for the feedback and information.

New to me !? I’m assuming I can find them at howardcustom.com or along that? Lol will check them out also. My eyes are wide open I didn’t think these companies existed. To me it’s like how do they actually make money themself. But that’s a whole other topic. What matters is I might of just found an awesome solution for big orders and appreciate all the feed back guys ! If anyone else out there sees this and has even more to add I’m hoping this thread can keep growing with ideas to share!

Wow that’s amazing I’m going to have to order a sample sheet and start looking into it more now. I work a 9-5 so after work when I have big orders it takes me a few days to get it completed that’s if the design isn’t so crazy. I’d worry about selling this product cause your basically trusting another company for your self but I’m hearing more good then bad and it dosnt hurt to order some for myself and wash test it and all and go from there. Thank you for your feedback with this company I’m definitely going to try them out.. I also use AI so I shouldn’t have any problems with sending them over my files so that’s awesome to know as well.

It’s awesome you guys have some story’s on it. I’m always so curious and find I love making shirts and well apparel all together more then decals. I don’t have the space for screen printing but I did hear of F&M and lately (last 6 months) I caught some orders of 35,50, and working with someone now for another 35. So it starting getting me in trying to figure out the best way to be efficient. Do you guys know of F&M, I’m sure lol .. if so are they good quality enough for me to sell to my costumers or should I just keep doing it the old fashion way? I’m not sure if I understand there process they screen print on a transfer then can then be shipped to the buyer and applied by a heat press? It’s not HTV? I went to YouTube but it was more reviews on them then explaining and it’s pretty much I hear more good then bad but the bad conserns me. Thanks guys for the conversation. I was hoping to hear story’s and get some info with this post.

Awesome to hear that ! Good luck if you have any questions I’m here to answer what I can, and sure every else can say the same.

Thank you very much happy to be here & share experiences.

I tried many different things and then finally just decided to go spend the money on illustrator and I’m super happy I did. I don’t do crazy volume but it makes my life so much easier and super easy to learn. I never used it up till the day I decided to buy & after a few hours and some you tube I was able to figure it out. I’m not the greatest with curving the nodes but it’s all trial and error. Won’t learn till you try. The trace tool works but sometimes it can be a super pain.

New here myself ! Welcome & awesome work!

Thanks ! I’m sure you guys have great trails over there!

You might have already gotten your answers but I’m near here and I’d like to say jump in. I started with a titan and very quickly upgraded to a graphtec. Well worth it and I used money out of my pocket for both machines but in the end the machines ended up paying for themself. Hope this helps! Good luck.
