I think I handled my response with class I also noticed they are selling "damaged zenblank banners with heavy creasing" in the clearance section

buster try this

I had a guy not too long ago that wanted me to make a larger decal for him. He wanted it in one piece. I told him I was not able to do it. My cutter was not large enough. So then, as he stated, because I could not do his design in the larger size, like he wanted, then I should just send the vector design to someone else, he chooses, to do it for him. I explained I hold the license to this design, it is copyrighted. Then he wanted to buy it. I had to get stern with him, and tell him, as I already stated, the design is copyrighted. That is why there are copyright laws. I want no part of it. End of discussion.!!

This is awesome, I am going to order one to see how it looks and maybe what type vinyl they are using. can be found at http://www.mossyoakgraphics.com/gun-kits/shotgun-mossy-oak-camo-gun-kit.html

Found a new, easy source of money - video game nerd gatherings! Some friends of mine have put together a video game conference here in town the past three years. This year my decal business was the title sponsor of the event and I had a booth setup cutting custom decals on demand - first time I've ever taken my gear to a venue, instead of just pre-made decals - was definitely worth it! I had a few dozen pre-made decals on the table and about half way through the first day a guy asked if I could make a decal of his "gamer tag" (the names they use online for gaming) that he could put on his XBOX 360 (see example below). I said "sure" - he told me what he wanted and a few minutes later I handed him a simple 2-color text only decal and charged him $5 (yeah, I know, that is low, but this event was more about getting my name out and less about making huge profits) - and then he came back a few minutes later and his son wanted one - but he wanted one for each side of his XBOX so that was $10. Then he decided he'd better get 2 for his daughter, too - I've made $25 off of this guy in <30 minutes. Then once the other gamers started seeing them installed, they started lining up at my booth and at that point my Graphtec turned into a cash printing machine. By the end of the 3 day event, I had cranked out over 80 custom decals, plus sold another 30+ pre-mades and have orders for even more to complete tomorrow. I had one guy bring me the side panel from his computer case - it had a big scratch in it and he wanted a large dragon design to cover the scratch and he even provided the artwork, which made it so much easier. Another guy is into BMX biking and he brought me the front number plate off of his bike on the last day and had me do a design for that, too. It was an awesome weekend! People just kept coming to me with ideas and I turned them (the ideas, not the customers) into vinyl decals. At the end of Day 2, I went to Wal-mart with the intention of buying a large screen monitor to hook to my laptop that I could turn it towards the crowd and let people see what I was working on (I was getting tired of people leaning over the table to proof their design). They were out of stock on any big monitors and so I ended up buying a 42" LCD/LED TV with VGA inputs and using that instead... I made enough on quickie decals to pay for the TV and pay the obscene concession stand prices (Seriously, $3 for a 12 oz. soda?) for 3 days and still show a profit. And in the morning before it got busy, I was able to crank up MAME (Multi Arcade Machine Emulator) and play some Mortal Kombat and other games on the big screen... Nerd-vana! I also had a bunch of dye-subbed items on display and for sale and took a bunch of orders for more of those items. I did the award plaques for the gaming tournaments using the Streamline Awards from Conde - those cost less than $4 each and although small, look awesome (see pic below). Any ways... if you know anyone into video gaming, ask if they know of any LAN party events and see if you can get yourself invited - you may find that everybody there wants their gamer tag on their console, too! First place I ever saw a vinyl cutter in action was at a Ham Radio convention and they were cutting out call letter decals for Ham nerds and they were busy all day for two days cutting Arial Black numbers and letters 2" high in single colors - you just need to find a gathering of people who want to convey a simple message - their gamer tag, their call letters, whatever and then cater to that and you can make some big bucks without a lot of effort.

It's ok, everyone here already knows that I'm Brad Pitt... But they don't know that I'm also Batman...

this is junk compaired to you hydro dipping. you all do stickers and can see how well they hold up. I print decals all the time and you wouldn't catch me putting this on any of my guns

Hey Tim's xbox lol

Scott I am offering a large discount on large lot sales...40% off on a gross

Overlaying is easy on heat transfer. You can reposition and the backing holds it in place until you press. Can even stretch the shirts a little to get it to fit.

Should be big enough for now.....LOL famous last words! I started in a tiny corner of my living room....enough space for now.... I have since converted my two car garage into my "shop" and guess what..... it sure is getting cramped in here all of a sudden

The ironic part of this is that the American made stuff gets destroyed and the seller jailed for it while all of the "real stuff" is made overseas... To me, the only "winners" here are the attorneys. Cal

LHFSofiaScript looks pretty close

HA Im from flint.....a lot more crooked stuff going on there then copyright infringement.

Any sort of greasy fingerprints will immediately show on the cream etching and make it nearly transparent... The trick to using the cream is to ignore everything but the safety part of the instructions. Slather it on and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before carefully washing it away. As I recall the instructions call for a 5 minute etch time, but I've yet to find a piece of glass for which 5 minutes provides a satisfactory etch. I ended up giving my jar away to a crafter who didn't want to mess with sand etching...

I'm sure you'll only do it once. ha!

Watch how hard you bite or you might draw blood (I remember that mess). I buy the Greenstar in 54" rolls and it works fine so I'd assume the blacks are the same material.

As I bite my tongue, I say this... They have had a lot of problems with the quality of the zenblank banners, I personally would suggest you go with something other than the zenblank.
