I might as well test this out.Here is a pic of a couple of hearses I plotted last night.The one with the silver looks good,but that silver does not blend well with other colors.Black doesn't even cover this color.That's why I plotted the second one in purple,with no silver.

Thanks.But this cutter is a new toy to me.I was a screen printer for 18 years,which helps with understanding layout and seperation.And I have been an embroidery digitizer for the last 5 years,which helps me understand the points placement and editing with the software.But I'm still learning this cutter.I have a deal working for around 500 t-shirts with heat transfer vinyl.And sometime in the near future,I plan on cutting a couple of designs to put on silk screen to see how that works.I've heard it drops about three steps out of the screen printing process.So I have to check that out!Thanks again.

Billy has not been around lately because he has been extremely busy. All of the work he has done was with a USCutter Refine series, or as he calls it: R2

You may be able to do some searching for other posts he has made which may give some tips on how he achieved some of those outputs.

I wanna see the pics of the hearses... Why were they deleted.. ?

I think we lost some old content as the forum grew in size. Needed to create room for the new content, and lost some old stuff in the process.

:lol:

Ok,

Here is my first sign job that I did for my family's restaurant. I did not charge for this (family) but I wonder how much one should charge for this work? I am using a uscutter laser point 48" with BGS vinyl. I purchased the white board for $13.85 (4' x 8" sheet). The actual sign carriers were provided by the "Customer". The letters are 4" & 2.5" respectively.

Not sure, worked for me. Maybe the browser you are using, or a browser setting?

Sorry guys! I have been away far too long with health and family issues. The pics aren't up on those sites anymore because I took the sites down. I'll have to start posting some of the work I'm doing again.

Thank you Sir! I just watched one of your old vids on screen printing. I was really good! Except at the end your camera shot must have been off because it showed a baseball cap with an embroidered C on it! LOL! It's good to see your still helping and raising hell on the board man!
