Things are tough all over
Sue2 replied to slice&dice's topic in Business Practices, Sales and Pricing, etc.
Yes.........many small businesses have closed in this health crisis. Most will never re-open. I myself am nearing retirement age and may have to close the business because no one is looking to purchase small businesses at this time. We made it through all this so far........ but, who knows! -
Caredrock 01 otf is similar but no serifs.
-
For the "R" I would find something close, convert to curves and alter it to match...... Looks like it may have been altered some to begin with.
-
The "c" doesn't look like it is the same font either.....and maybe the "t" too! BUT...... If you look at Clarendon Blk BT Black it's pretty close even the "c & t".

ce lite 50 Graphtec Vinyl Cutting Pro, can I hire you?
Sue2 replied to AudienceByStorm's topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter Support Requests
I would bet most people here muddled through the discovery phase much like you are doing now. You did good...you got it hooked up, got it communicating with your computer, got it cutting the test pattern. Now you have learned to watch the size of your graphics....yes, sometimes it imports way too big and sometimes too small. Except for practice and patience.....you're just about there! Sounds like you are wanting to make shirts with HTV.......most important thing to remember: MIRROR your text/graphic. To this day I get so involved with the layout etc............... I forget to mirror! Now, before I push that cut button, I check one last time! Good Luck. Here's a suggestion for your first shirt! I made one for myself. Sue2 -
I never tried pressing HTV with a hand iron.....I only use an iron to try & remove errant HTV spots or to correct a mistake if possible. When pressing HTV I want to see the texture of the fabric showing through in the final imprint.... I don't see that in your photos.
-
Most of us here use a heat press....let me guess what MAY be your problem: Did you pre-heat the fabric to draw out moisture and flatten the fabric before laying on the HTV? "Household iron" just might be the problem....not hot enough with not enough constant pressure. The quality of your HTV could also cause poor results.

Can someone help me with this image, need is the Wife Lettering off the Hook
Sue2 replied to Lil' Angel's topic in Vectorizing
I use CorelDraw as my go-to graphics program(easier than AI).....BUT my simple version of Corel X4 would not recognize your file. I had to open it in Illustrator and re-save. Then it would open in my Corel......edited it from there. -

Hardest that I have ever tried to spend money
Sue2 replied to jfreds's topic in Criticism and Complaints about USCutter
The advantage of heat press over screen printing is the ability to cost effectively create in low quantities and individual designs/names. -

I would suggest you look into a package which includes a heat press....the kids would love designing their own t-shirts too! -
I have a customer who wants to make t-shirts with his business logo for resale in his shop. He doesn't want to order a large quantity...just replace the shirts as they sell. His logo is full color so I am looking for a recommendation on where to get the full color heat press transfers. Thanks! Sue2
-
I have a customer looking for fluorescent or neon lettering (yellow or green). Any suggestions on where to check for this? TIA Sue
-
Thank you...just what I needed!
-
Thanks for the suggestions......to conserve time I checked those too and nothing came close enough. It's a door logo replacement that measures 27" wide...so I wanted it to match the other doors. I already traced it.....wasn't too time consuming.......it just takes patience!
-
It's a logo...check out "RUBICON" on SeekLogo.com
-
I use a Crop-A-Dile too........Does both 1/4" & 1/2" corners. Ran about $25

Depending on what graphic programs you're using, you need to combine or weld the text before cutting. Make a copy first as you usually cannot "unweld". AND I usually look at the spacing before I weld the text and adjust any letters that are not spaced well. Sue2

Looks mostly like: Radiant ExtraCondensed Medium (Regular) This is close too...and free... Altitude (Altitude)

Should I get a heat press?
Sue2 replied to Scratchthejeepguy's topic in Business Practices, Sales and Pricing, etc.
If you can manage it, get a 16 x 20". They allow for the larger imprint sizes... Frequently I am pressing 2X & 3X shirts...... to look right you need to enlarge the logo/graphic to fill the shirt. A 16" x 20" press can usually handle it in one pressing. Sue2 -
There is a time and place for cheap vinyl... This wasn't it.
