Hello everyone, as I said in the topic I am fairly new to all of this, only been cutting vinyl for a few months now. I have been web graphic designing for going on 12 years and recently had an idea to start making vinyl window stickers. Mainly to get my kids involved and teach them what a dollar means, and pass on some creative juices (hopefully). I have been reading on this forum for about a month and thought now is as good time as any to finally introduce myself.
My goals are not to take over all of the business in my area or grow to be the biggest store or anything, however I would like to make enough income so that I can teach my sons about business and how to make money. As I said before I have been doing web graphics for awhile now, but I am very green when it comes to vinyl cutting. I would like to think we are doing ok so far, we do not have an extensive amount of work yet but we have done several projects for roughly 10 customers, all one color window vinyl stickers. I of course would like to have an online catalog for future customers to look through designs in order to pick something, since it seems if you tell someone you can make just about anything they cannot seem to pick anything!
Our only problem is, we have over 10,000 vector eps files (we just started) and I feel if I were to sit and convert each one it may take until 2025 to be finished. Has anyone been in this situation before? Is there a service out there that would mass convert eps files to jpg and organize them, wishful thinking maybe but I have to ask I have searched endlessly for this online and came up with nothing. If not, how did you guys fill your online inventories? Maybe a zip file or two of clip art? Please help as I am overwhelmed and I feel I need this in order to get this up and running. Thank you in advance!!
