Ya my goal while starting off was to build up some customers. I would rather do 100 at $2 or $3 each then only 20 for $10 each. That being said I do appreciate the help! I think I might go up just a little bit, seems like I have a little wiggle room to go to $3 or $4 and still get most if not all the orders of people who contact me. Thanks again!

Ya looks like I really need to work on my pricing structure... I believe it or not am making money on these... just seems like I could be making a LOT more... I charged him $2.25 per.... So $45 for all of them. They are pretty easy to weed, the 2 color thing I actually apply the blue without any transfer tape... I just pull it up and line it up with the cut indentations of the white. Works pretty well. I guess I could easily be up around $5 each for them...

yikes, I am way off that...

For me the background is too distracting and makes your name and contact info hard to read. How does it look/read printed out?

That was just the Scarab logo. This is for the Scarab Racing log. Totally different. ya lol

I use the Greenstar paper tape for most of my in-house stuff that I am applying, then I use Rtape AT60 clear for stuff I send out to people.

didn't you already make a thread for this? nvm, yup you did....... http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,32628.0.html

No I didn't mean cuttable, I am on here for cutter help but im a graphic designer so I was curious haha Seems to work a hell of a lot better than I thought it would in B&W too, well done!

How does it work in B&W?

mmm bacon cookies!!!

Umm I dont wanna be the ass haha its laid out pretty well. I would however change the top banner to get maybe a little nicer looking more completed vehicle up there... Your dak up there would be great but that truck is all mismatched and just looks um finished and not to pleasing. The only other thing I would change is the outer background that weird pattern is just very distracting. I would personally just go with a plain black or dark gray. I have only designed a couple websites but those are just a couple of the things I see right away.

Yes you can. Call Richard at Cobra ink. I forget if they have it on their website separately or not though. Not going to be very cost effective though if your planning on buying the printer then the CISS. Then add the price of ink and everything. Also no need to type in all caps, makes it seem like your yelling, or in this case demanding a response. Just a friendly heads up.

Here is my re-do of the size visibility chart. I want it to go down to 1" as most of my stuff is smaller at the moment. I also took it all the way up to 60" just because. Its a long sign, I believe its like 12x30 and ready to cut, enjoy! Visibility Chart.eps.zip Visibility Chart.eps.zip

Im not him, but as far as fit... why would that change? I am of course assuming he does NOT spray the inside of the sockets. As for the wrenches... ya no clue haha. They do look good though Joe, I am a fan. If I had the money I would send you 90% of my tools to powdercoat haha

Congrats, that place rocks! Usually has them in stock too

While yes it is the same workforce 1100... no its not. The CISS is a whole different thing. I would just have CobraInk do it. I had them do mine, came full of pigment ink, all I had to do was instal some driver and plug it in and I was printing.

ever wonder where or why they came up with 44" ?? I have done just about 40" long on mine... no clue why it wouldn't keep going though?

If your making an ad for yourself I would NOT recommend putting pricing on it.... which it sounds like your doing or thinking about doing. Half of making money with a vinyl cutter or in the field of graphic design in general is being able to sell yourself. How much selling are you doing with your pricing just there for them to see? Make them call, if they are seriously thinking about having you make something they can pick up a phone and call. This was you have a chance to tell them why to pick you, why your better than everyone else. Just my thoughts, might be a bit one sided as I am a part-time salesman though haha

meh I guess but thats like using GIMP over photoshop, just doesn't make sense for a designer. Not having a powerful program like Illy, would be like a painter without a paintbrush. Gotta have the right tools

Here are my latest 2 banners, the first was for a customer while the second was just for me because I do love Astons! The truck I just did today for the hell of it!

I posted them in the requests area already. Thanks everyone

I would only use Illy for logo designs, vector logo requires a vector based program. I'm a graphic designer, PM me if you need a logo.

Some nice signs in there! Thanks! I really do like the first size one, I did mine in blue on foam board but I am going to get some corplast tomorrow because its just sooo much cheaper!

I use old shower doors and by old... I mean brand new ones the customers cancel and cant be re-sold due to their custom fit/order. So we would normally junk em, but I take the clear ones

ya its just weird because the others did compress and cut down the size a LOT haha
