    Nice and bright. How did you measure the gas tank triangle graphic?

    Well, it was a bit of trial and error, i measured it out then put a pen and a roll of paper in the cutter and drew it on paper, cut it out with scissors to check the size and angles and everything, sounds tedious but it only took a couple tries to get it right

    Hello, you know those machines at the mall, where it takes your picture and then makes it into sort of a sketch?, i was wondering if anyone knew how to do this on a copam 2500, or if its even possible, i have adobe Illustrator CS2, & MX Freehand.

    Thanx

    I have a PSD Image of a customers logo that he wants stickers made of, i need some one to convert it into a vector file, i am willing to pay for a professional job as this customer is picky about the decals looking as close to his logo as possible.

    if anyone is interested let me know and i will e-mail you the logo file.

    thank you!

    I have a customer who is looking for a 2' x 2' banner that has 3' stakes attached to each end to poke into the ground, to be used as a roll up real estate sign, he says he has seen these before but i am having trouble finding them at any of the sign supply places, i'm thinking i will probably end up buying some light stainless rod and making them myself, but if anyone has seen these anywhere please let me know

    thank you

    what i ordered was thermoflex plus, but it has a different feel than the other stuff so i talked to ordway and they told me to ship it back because there might have been a mixup with some other material

    the fabric i am applying it to is 100% cotton, and like i said the three other rolls i have work great. i kind of wish i knew what the white stuff was, maybe i could use it for something...lol

    Ok, someone tell me whats going on here, i ordered a few different colors, white, blue and pink, the blue and pink go on fine 380 degrees for 15-20 seconds at hard pressure, the white does not work at all, no matter what i do, i've tried different temps, different times and different pressures

    can this stuff get old? I ordered it from Ordway

    thanx to all for your time

    as far as Heat transfer vinyl goes i have found some big differences in them, so far i have used Hotmark 40, Hotmark 70, and Thermoflex

    Hotmark 40 is thin, smooth, shiny and it goes right into the fabric, good for cotton and cotton poly blends, Hotmark 70 is almost like the 40 but it is thinner, VERY flexible and you can do amazing detail with it, also good for cotton and cotton poly blends

    Thermoflex feels very similar to screenprinting, its heavier and works very well for doing multiple colors also good for cotton and cotton poly blends

    there are MANY heat transfer vinyls out there

    Hotmark

    Thermoflex

    EZmark

    Duracut

    Spectracut

    to name a few

    after a few attempts and a few screwups i have managed to do layers with hotmark.........i have ultimately decided that thermoflex plus is much better for layers simply because you can peel it hot, hot mark you have to peel cold and by the the time you peel it your shirt has shrunk or stretched slightly from the heat press and it is a pain registering the second layer

    heres one i did for my brother, turned out pretty good the registration on the top lettering was a lil off tho.

    Beardown, i think its a great idea! and i think everyone on the forum would be able to use it in one way or another, there is always some graphic that I want or need but don't have, and i for one can use all the practice i can get designing custom graphics.

    I think the more this forum expands the more it will help US Cutter's sales, mostly because everyone one of us on here owns a cutter from them and customers always like to see other people that bought the same thing they did and see that it works!
