If you ever get an opportunity for a very large apparel order, don't turn it down. Post it here and get bid from forum users. In most cases, you can have your apparel drop shipped to a contract screen printer or embroidery service. So I'll start: I would like to offer you contract pricing on your screen printing and embroidery needs. For screen printing or embroidery I would prefer 100+ minimum order, but that's just me.

fly to Vietnam j/k call sanmar and see what they can do for you. 15000 shirts with a heat press!!! Your going to have one strong arm. i can get you good pricing on screen printing.

Thanks, I just registered for an account. Still looking for a company geared toward sports uniforms.

I only have an account with Sanmar. They have a very limited selection of sports uniforms and I have a customer wanting gray Dickies style button ups work shirts. I have used www.allsportsuniforms.net, but wanted to know what you guy might suggest.

anybody? i know i can google it, but i trust something recommended by you guys.

Thanks everyone, I'll give both ideas a try and see what happens. Jason

This is partially cleaned up. I started with a scan off a scrap paper where my customer drew this. I am still learning illy so tips on how to make it cuttable appreciated. note: I need advice on how to save files... They are always too big. what settings and file type should i be using?

.ai version flr scan.ai

I have been doing all my vinyl cutting with Illustrator and CutMaster 2 for about a year now. I want to take the next step and get some better design/cut software but not sure I really need it. There are so many to choose from what should consider and what can I expect to gain from better software? I do not have a large format printer, but I do plan to use my WF 1100 to print/crop mark for cutting a few decals and heat transfers. Jason

not the answer I was looking for, although it may be a great answer. i have $600 illustrator... flexisign is $1700 and flexipro is $4300. What am I not getting compared to these? There has to be a reason the cost more. I saw a video posted by bannerjohn of flexi converting poor/low res graphics into nice cuttable vector in seconds. Can this be done with illy? I have always struggled with the settings, being self taught. Also the ability to quickly add and edit cutting lines. can i do this in illy? im a self taught noob, so some explanation would be appreciated. Thanks

Sorry, but can you tell me when you say job size window are you talking about something in CM2 or Illustrator. If illy is that the "Artboard" size?

forgot to mention... I have had no problems with easyweed or fibron.

You can't beat Transfer Express for jersey #'s. one color and multi color options. i also use their express names and had no problems. cost you a little more but worth it to me. another uniform website is www.allstaruniforms.net

sorry for the late follow up. Yes I used oracal 651 and the weeding was not an issue. Just can't believe I spent so much on the 3M Controltac and can't even use it?

here is a jpeg format. i cant get the original .ai under 1meg

Hi, all. Just wondering how many people use shutterstock to buy or sell images. I am trying to do things as legal as I can with my limited knowledge of copyrights and royalty free and plan to start buying such art for use as decals and transfers. It seems like the smart choice is to buy it if I don't know where it came from. Is shutterstock the best or is there another I should look at? Thanks, Jason

i have tried several merchant accounts and seem to be most happy with Intuits "go payment". unless you are swiping dozens of cards a day this is great. i have it on my ipad and every time i use it the customers are in awe and think it's so cool. hey, it may be cool but it sure beats having to tell a potential customer sorry i dont take credit cards. fee is about $12 a month for the service. my first 3 months were free and no contract. charge fees are about 1.7 swipe, 2.7 keyed you can use it on most phones, iphone, ipad, and over internet.

I have customer ask me about making some stickers that he can across. Here is the kicker, they have a copyright date of 1982. No way to find out who printed them. He is representing the company who's name is on them but I don't think he has the authority to make the final decision. What would you do? I don't want to get my new business in trouble for $50 worth of stickers.

its all good. its still a bump

Somebody call the Police!!! My thread has been hi-jacked!
