    Material help on HTV

    Thank you bud. I use the hotronix fusion 16x20 press. And for my heatpress this is how they break up pressure for me in numbers. 1-3 is light pressure. 4-6 is medium pressure . 7-9 is firm pressure. And it says firm for the glitter which would be a pressure of 7 for me. and the siser stretch is med to firm which would be a 6-7 option?. I went and re looked at the pressure settings from siser and im confused i think or just mis-reading it. But when it says MED-FIRM , does that mean for me If 7 is the starting point for my firm pressure and 9 is my heavy firm pressure, would 8 be my med firm ? or would it mean its medium to firm pressure like 6-7? I havent had any issues with previous designs but now im questioning myself ? Thank you very much Bud.

    Can I arch text in Vinylmaster Cut?

    Ya sure cuts alot still needs to fix this issue, thats the only down fall i hated as far as i can remember lol. now I use ai to design in mainly with the arch feature etc 99% and then use scalps for shadow and cutting., Perfect match and easy. I have played with Vm but still cant myself to like it yet.

    Thank you @mfatty500. i was really lost on this lol.. So next time i know .
  7. We are in the process of having to move not by choice.Our landlord has decided to sell since there is a huge drug house which also deals in stolen vehicles as well. And since the laws have no real punishment here anymore they keep doing it.All they get is a citation for having stolen property..Soooooo With me being Disabled from a job injury many years ago prevents me from having a normal daily hard working job like i used to,I have my good days and bad,Some days i can work my ass off but then need a break the next day. I do things i shouldnt but its in my blood to not ever give up even when it hurts but even tho i suffer the consequence the next day or so.. , Business hasnt been busy enough to consider livable income yet ,but it is slowly gaining ground , and we were not able to find a place to live, We have to move to a relatives house with plenty of room until we find a place .Business is coming with of course ,its what helps with bills and My girlfriend is in the medical field ( Medical Assistant) and has much more opportunities for work as for where we live there is none... . So we will be just east of Bakersfield,Ca. I hope something good happens for us. I guess im just looking for some prayers , cause if this falls thru then we have nothing to fall back on after this, and from there?, i dont even want to think about what that will be.. I hope nobody has to go thru what we are dealing with,Im trying to keep my headup and i regret getting injured but it wasnt my fault,I miss the hard work i did and miss.

    24" cutter printer options?

    Is printing a for sure thing you are wanting to do or ? I thought i was needing to get a printer when i first started and 98% of everything i do ends up not being printed unless its a special thing from a customer that requires color blending or similar needs.

    Need a little prayer of hope from my friends

    Thank you everyone for your thoughts etc.. Just an update. I came back to my hometown after being shortly away and made some personal life changes as well, and im glad i did, It also allowed me to start my photography business back up and still do my vinyl work etc.,So i upgraded and added to my arsenal of new camera gear. Things are rolling good now . Guess some things happen for a reason when they do. Thanks again for your comments.

    Design help question PLEEEASE - see images

    Thanks @bikemike-I understand that and that is what i was going to do, i was curious if the letter size is correct for being on this size of jacket as being 1 1/2 inches tall ? I assumed it should be larger but i could be wrong .Just hoping for clarification on it.
  14. FIRST OFF - the design is rough draft, i know i need to space everything properly drop down etc. I just thru this together real quick..Busy day , im just going after the letter size issue i dont like.............This is my first go round with this area on cheer jackets... So i have a cheer jacket im working on and i made a mockup design how they want it but not placed and spaced yet. ,they like the overall design etc .,But what i am having an issue with is the size of the letters are coming out to about 1 1/2 inches tall roughly . Is there a standard letter size for doing these and how do i get larger and making it look right?. Whats killing my size is the overall length of CHAMPIONS that i can see. This is the font they want and the design in the middle . Any help will be awesome.. and pointers etc .100% poly using glitter for the center design and siser stretch for the lettering. Thank you again Pippin.

    If they have the 28" model you will get best results with all 3 pinch rollers to the right. Plus i never run my material that far over to the right either, I leave about 1-2 inches max past the far right roller. Any more will cause the material bunch up and cause that issue in the photo..

    transfer graphics

    cricut is a web based software only.the only way you are going to get access to them is if you save them export ( if it will anymore ) to your computer. I was a user of the cricut for awhile and it sucks for doing what your attempting ..they might have stopped it from being able to save things from your online cricut storage to your pc..
  18. Here is what my settings are. In scalps, when you use the text feature you have to go to TEXT and then convert text to outlines, From there you can scale it to the proper size you need it to be,Its just like in ai Its not a vector till you convert it..Im also sending a ticket to craftedge on this ..

    How would you handle this?

    I wash all clothing no mater where it comes from first off........This is a tough one for me to decide on what i would really do, I know that a customer supplied shirt is to be a gamble due to the technicality of how it was washed etc , But for me whether or not they supplied the shirt or not ,the main issue was with the transfer which in turn ruined the product not the clothing having an issue. I personally would have to replace the customers clothing .It was not the clothing that caused the issue in this matter. What if you did a decal on a vehicle and for some godly reason the adhesive ruined the clear coat due to a mix up in the chemical adhesive ( Not that this would really ever happen but just an example) .The material you supplied to put on the vehicle ruined the paint, Does that mean your not liable for fixing their paint job ? Or tell the customer since you supplied the vehicle i wont take care of you but i will give you a deal..lol Sorry but whatever product im supplying that ends up having a defect to cause an issue falls on myself or the manufacturer who supplied the item... I would have to eat the cost of the shirts and put it on the supplier if possible, otherwise eat it and move to another supplier,, But what do i know... lol..

    looking for laser etcher on here for glass

    sounds good ,will do.
  22. I started doing some chemical etching on glass with a design i did for my dads school. i have the rights to the design and i have re-designed it to a better look. But im deciding whether to try and find someone who does laser etching etc to make better use of the time lol.. I will supply the glasses as needed unless someone can get a better deal instead,,Please contact me and i will supply the images of choice we will be possibly using .Im just looking for a quote for the laser time and shipping, glasses etc. Right now we are using stemless wine glasses. I can supply my cell number if needed to make it better to communicate. Unless someone can tell me a laser machine i can buy instead under or around $1500 or so. Thank you for your time buddies. By the way i havent been on here much due to the internet is crappy and its limited use per data package lol..

    @mckenna.mengelkoch...Very true what Wildgoose says, I actually ended up taking one side of the rulers that are adhered and flipping it around, ( Because the numbers are switched on one side from the other and made a big difference when i started, Now i just align by site and forget about using the back side of the ruler. Also add some light to your cutter front like i did ,cheap to do and simple as well without messing with warranty.
