  1. Are you able to screen print graphics onto the thermal vinyl then heat transfer it onto a shirt?

    What would tell me if my offset is off? Also I dont see an option for over cutting. blade offset is set at 0.00

    My first payed gig.

    Is there a way to check my offset? I am using signblazer that came with the cutter does anyone know if it has the over cut feature?
  7. the 40 hour thing was about the 400 sticker job and this 100 sticker job together. I have still yet to do the 400 sticker job. It is a little trickier and 5"x5" Yeah once I got going on these I can see how easy it is to pretty much get into the groove and knock them out.

    My first payed gig.

    Just did 100 4"x4" of these. No prior knowledge of this business just bought the machine to do my own shits and gigz. Ended up landing a really awesome client that is sending me quite a bit of work. One question I have the economy version mh series. How often should the blades dull. I run it at 30g and 16" per second. After running this job its starting to not connect in some corners of the next job. The angry ping pong ball was the job.
  10. 100 4x4 vinyls done and charged. $0.10 per inch. Customer was more than pleased to pay $160.00 for the order. The little angry ball is the sticker. This one didnt pass quality control so I added it to my desktop workstation.
  11. Well the job is actually for a silkscreen company. They want the vinyl cuts though. Printing would be about 1/4 the cost of the cutting.
  12. Thank you for this post I could stand to learn a lot from it seeing as I am so green in the business and "too nice of a guy" according to some.
  13. Over all its a basic design with a few trouble spots. It has a cross hair section that is really getting to me. I can see this job easily taking me 40 hours to complete with more skill probably less time but I am a beginner so I anticipate many mistakes and longer weeding times. Thanks for you input. I will keep this updated as things unfold.
  14. The vinyl im using = $60 per roll The transfer im using = $45 per roll so already my materials dont cost $20 not to mention overhead/cost of equipment and god forbid some money to feed myself and enjoy life. I dont think I fully understood your post Slice&Dice are you saying I should only be charging $20 for 400 4x4 decals?
  15. I recently purchased one of the cheaper models MH751 or 851 not sure what models are accurate. I initially got this for my own personal use but then the old lady mentioned I should get some work with it to pay it off. I seemed to have picked up a client that needs 400 4x4 inch and 100 5x5 inch decals. I am trying to figure out what pricing I should shoot for them. I said .10 per square inch but as most of you know this would easily cost around 1,000 dollars is this correct? When they ask me why so expensive what are some good points to bring up for vinyl plotting cost vs screen printing vinyl costs? Thank you and sorry for my lack of grammar.
