Mainly is right....mostly would be better. I would love to have the time to do what the OP asked....but the fact is, I work for a living and don't get paid to moderate. I do what I can.

Here's some I've seen posted maybe these could go along with yours

Glad you're not local. I've got enough competition around here and that would be competition.

I'll do it DaVinci style if they want. Just have to look in a mirror to read it.

T-Y.

Here's the shield. You can pull it from there plus there are other useable elements for anybody else to steal. fire dept.eps

That is a good way to do it. Like I said it depends on your market. I wanted to increase my prices a little on Amazon but I am getting so many sales I don't want to mess up what I have. What I lose on the smaller decals (because I offer free shipping on everything) I make up when someone buys say a 10" - 16" inch decal. 20" decals I make out on but my profit is withing the 10" - 16" range. As my 20" some people said were under the price they should be. 20" (any decal) $18.99 Free Shipping. Again it comes back to the market you are trying to sell to. Around town here and yes my friends I charge way more then I do online. Simply because everyone is looking for a deal online. In the home area people are willing to pay more. 1. Because most know you (small town thing) 2. they need something specialty (usually) 3. May only have a few a week (if any) Number 3 is a big one that you have to think about. You may only have a few from your town that need work done at any given time. While online you have millions looking (thousands a day) and ready to buy what they want or like. Like I mentioned people are looking for a deal online. I give them a deal (promotions work well) and get buyers. At this current time I sell any where between 70 - 100 decals a week online. At home maybe 4-5 a week. But are usually larger jobs. So give people the online deals for a steady flow of traffic and sales and do the larger jobs as specialty jobs around town. It slowly builds itself. I started only selling like 2-3 decals a day online. and now 8 - 15 a day. Sometimes more (sales spikes). If I remember correctly my busiest day was 46 orders. Some were return customers and others were new but ordered multiples decals. So that 46 order turned out to be around 73 decals if I remember correctly. That was just one day. Took a while to get there but it all pays my bills and covers supplies and gives me enough to save some for future purchases. OK I prolly went into more then I should have but. The market in your area will set your prices once you figure out what they are, what people are willing to spend, if it a business that NEEDS the work done, or is it a average working joe that WANTS his name on his redneck truck. Either way the prices varies in what people want to pay. You find the median and you found the sweet spot. Cut Weed and pocket the doe. Any of all that make sense?

Nice to see someone older than me who isn't from West Virginia...

I keep pushing sc or higher whenever someone asks. The MH may be a great machine but not until they figure out some of these ongoing issues.

I've also heard that the motors can come loose from their mounts. If the grit rollers aren't loose and the offset is adjusted correct, try pulling the end covers off and check to see if a motor isn't loose.

Melissa, congratulations & welcome to our little corner of the world. The cutting strip is actually a white piece of smooth plastic, so yes, remove the protective covering that it's shipped with. Also, confirm that your blade is in the REAR position hole (the front is for the pen holder). One last thing --- while USCUTTER is promoting and providing the SureCuts software, there is another (free) option that you might want to look into: SignBlazerElements. http://support.uscutter.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/GetAttachment/190/24198 Your Cutter Cousin, Slice

If you have access to ACDSee, Adobe Bridge or a free program like Batch File Renamer you can highlight a group of files and batch rename them to something like "Vehicle Design 001", "Vehicle Design 002", etc...

Welcome from sunny California. Bob

Hello young fella and welcome from wild wonderful West Virginia. There are several people on the forum with the mh-series of cutters and many use the sure cuts a lot software myself like slice and dice prefer the sign blazer software it is free, easy to use and a lot of support on the forum. It is a a great software but no updates because the developer passed away. But anyway good luck and again welcome. Dan
