Dawn's Design 403 Posted November 3, 2016 I buy my t shirts from Sanmar. And that package should get you started. But you may want to upgrade later. That would be your choice. Oh yeah. Welcome from Mississippi.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrfibble 77 Posted November 4, 2016 welcome it should come with the Silhouette studio software but id spend the 20-30 ( cant remember how much it is ) to upgrade to the designer ed as that allows you to use .SVG files I only have a Sil Cameo myself but i use SCAL rather than the Sil software and that allows .svg files if you have any questions just message me david 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Primal Decals 621 Posted November 5, 2016 Not Stealing the thread here but i keep putting off on getting a heat press , Not trying to stir the pot about a bad heat press but is this one any good for starting out that Pcampo is getting or do you guys suggest a better one that may last longer etc... I need to get one soon,been getting asked when im going to get into it..lol.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted November 5, 2016 About the only real issue with the press is it's fairly small. Smaller presses are harder to get everything lined up on is all. The budget swingers of that ilk are actually good performers for a starter press. I used a similar 15 x15 for several years with good results. Still in my garage as a matter of fact.

Pcampo 0 Posted November 9, 2016 Is this brand of vinyl any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted November 9, 2016 34 minutes ago, Pcampo said: Is this brand of vinyl any good? private branded will be a gamble - lots of sellers buy from china and resell under their own brand so they can sell at a profit. with that said ask youself is it worth saving a couple of pennies per garment to risk a failure and hurt your reputation? usually the savings per piece is so small it is best in my opinion to use only proven quality products. many times it is the difference in being in the business for a year or so or being around for a decade or more. Just my personal take on it. 90 percent of my htv is siser from uscutter (cheapest with shipping on multiple rolls) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn's Design 403 Posted November 9, 2016 + 1. I use siser. And US Cutter has never let me down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
