    having fun with tiles

    just a pic something we're having fun with, this is a 12x12 ceramic tile, really rich chocolate brown, sealed in high gloss varathane, and then a nice intricate disc in metallic gold vinyl applied over it. I wasn't too sure how this would work out at first, it was our first attempt at something like this, but it just grabs your eyes from anywhere in the room!

    Our first paid job with our first cutter woohooo!

    thanks and yes I know your right... still working on that d font... so far I haven't found a real match and I don't really feel like \I have the time to create it but I'm going to keep working on it. I'm pretty sure the customer will be happier if we match it
  9. Our first real customer owns a body shop and wanted to know if we could translate the logo on his business card into vinyl for his company truck, trailers etc... I am a dementedly over confident dude so of course I said yes even tho we are total noobs its a multi color/layer job lol... so we get the card in the mail and away we gooo Well.... took a lot of doing lol... a lot of trial and error... oh did I mention I'm not really all that experienced with software like corel or scal? hee heeee... and I don't even want to talk about how many square feet of vinyl gave up their lives so that this project might live lol... but we kept our sense of humor and considered it on the job training, and have gotten it to this layup which is off to the customer for approval and or suggestions. In my eyes its far from perfect and I won't be surprised at all if we have to redo it, but at the same time I'm very happy with all we learned in three painful days, and in particular I'm pretty happy with how well the "Autobody" lettering came out. Hope ya like, any feedback, tips, criticism is welcome.

    Hi all from Canada, couple noob friends here, we have a little experience in vinyl (ie we have applied some vinyl to trucks and dumpsters etc a time or two lol)... but we somehow got the bug and decided to give it a go. We are in southern Saskatchewan, and have purchased a copam 36' cutter and all the usual accessories as well as a dtg hm-1 kiosk printer for garments and related printing. Since the kiosk was in Amarillo and we really don't mind a road trip we drove down to Memphis ourselves and picked up the copam and stuff at US Cutter, and we were really glad we did, it was a real treat to see the whole operation in person and meet everyone, and they were just awesome with us, spending a ton of time with us and helping us out with a lot of the questions real noobs need answered. We are very happy with the purchases and pricing, and so far we have had no troubles whatsoever with the copam other than problems we created ourselves due our total lack of experience and knowledge lol. Devin over at support has been noting short of fantastic helping us resolve questions and learn quickly, and he's super personable and funny as well so its always good to have a prob or question and need to call in. Its worth noting that the original reason we decided to purchase from US Cutter was that we sensed a commitment to customer service from cruising the site, watching the videos, and reading reviews on the net, and customer service is the number one priority I use in making large purchase decisions. In this regard we are 100% satisfied that we made the right decision and we would like to take this moment to just say thank you to everyone at US Cutter for making our start so easy and fun. We will be spending a lot of time in the forums and look forward to meeting and learning from all you there. Nuff said for now, happy new year to all, will post a couple pics of our first paying job in a couple minutes. Regards, Donnie, Deanna and Phil
