MY FIRST MUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I am excited and impressed it came out

They are all correct, also watch the spacing on your mugs, have the paper (image) even on both sides. Each one looks off to me closer to the left side then right side. If they were even it would look better also. I have a George Knight and also the wraps. Another idea is you don't always need a full wrap to look good. These are unbreakable poly mugs

IT MADE IT...... my printer has made it

Here is a shirt i did today ..I had my roof redone today and the roofers needed some not so heavy shirts on the hot days up on the roof so i proposed to them to get some Vapor Shirts and i can put there logo on them and here was my mockup / sample i made them! The image is at the bottom hehe And here are some photo's of some other Dye Sub Work i have done!

A place with a garage would be awesome, but i could see myself doing more work on my truck and atvs and motorcycles than installing vinyl onto cars lol!!

I am taking this one to work and having my coffee in it tomorrow HAHA, I bet I get 3 people to buy mugs even tho it's slightly crooked

Mug press's are ok however they have limit use. You cant do a full cup image. They cause ghosting where there is no pressure at the top, bottom or by the handle. the other tool is mug wraps better all the way around and you use your oven. You have 2 forms of paper you can use. Rhinotech makes a paper called single print which you run through a laser printer in reverse, cut it out, attach to the mug with transfer tape. wrap it with either the mug wrap or put into the press and follow the instructions for time. Then there is Dye sublimation paper which you can buy from any sublimation provider. Follow same instructions. The only different is with the rhinotech paper you have to clear coat the mug of the image will come off. Sublimation printers come in different sizes, and makers. You can buy an Epson printer and use sublimation ink, or you can buy a Ricoh and sublimation ink. The different is Ricoh is less maintenance however its higher in price and the inks are a gel. You can get buy printers that can print up to 13X19 for desktops or you can buy a wide format printer by Epson and so larger items such as all over shirts. However you need a wide format heat press

If the CL scams are one of those who say they are ready to pay my asking price but are out of town in military service (or other excuse) I usually mess with them for a while just to be a pain. LOL

if your gonna do it for for the one with exposure if you are looking for walk in. most of my stuff is word of mouth locally or pounding the pavement, but if I was going retail I would want exposure . . .and probably a garage space

haha Dawn, i think i will make both of these for my DH. We are going on his annual birthday trout fishing trip in a couple of weeks. AND, not that he would admit it in front of me but he would DEFINITELY agree with the last one. -Whatever -

for the ricoh - texprint-r paper here formulated for the gel inks so it doesn't smudge when doing a bunch at a time

Mug press's are great for single side press anything more and expect nothing. I gave up on mug press's and went cactus wrap. I never looked back.

Look at Constructa-Extra Bold for Virginia mark-s

T shirts for local Realtor doing a charity walk for the homeless. Huge thanks to skare, for the vector help. Was buried and it was ticking me off, hired him and had file next day best $ spent.

Wondering if it repeats exact? also what happens if you shift orientation (flip upside down) How fast are you cutting? I have seen things like this on cheaper machines where it is actually holding the blade to far away from the material. I had to shim a few of the actuators to allow the blade to drop less or more before it starts cutting. And what cutting speed and does speed affect this at all?

oracal and fdc here - it is pennies more a ft for the good stuff - like grandma said don't be penny wise and dollar foolish!

Flattery will get you nowhere. Cash donations are much better.

That looks very good. I wish I had some garage cabinets. In fact, I wish I had a garage. You do good work. You deserve a good cutter. Save your money and have a look at the Titan2. I bought one and I absolutely LOVE it. It will save you money just by not wasting vinyl.

I am sure support will be able to help figure out what issues you have going on - you don't mention what software you are using to cut from. m If your home AC kicking on is affecting the cutting I would venture to say you have some home electrical issues - it should not be dropping voltage or causing spikes that would affect your cuts - lastly never never never take a job until you are familiar with any new hardware and software. becoming familiar with the new stuff is important before promising a job. that only adds to your frustration. my first cutter ran about 20 minutes before a capacitor that was install backwards blew up in a quiet basement at 2am - heart attack and about 3 weeks before I got it fully resolved with 2 new mb, new power supply, control panel and finally mailing the cutter back and getting it replaced . . . had I promised jobs during that time I would have been very frustrated too, but I was getting to know the machine when the problem cropped up - hang in there Monday support will be available to help get you going. depending on how complicated the design is ( lots of nodes) you could be reaching the limit of the memory in the cutter causing this problem also, say if you are trying to cut a tree graphic for on a wall floor to ceiling with all the branches, etc - it might be just too much for the memory to handle - memory in the sc is only 1mb. another thought if you are using scalp - have you downloaded signblazer and tried that with your cutter - I am sure it would take a search of the forum to find which driver to use as the sc wasn't thought of when development of signblazer was stopped due to the owners death. but it is a solid program to run and good to test with the second program. take the blade holder out and let it run thru the coarse without actually cutting before wasting any more vinyl, if it came with a pen holder use that and butcher paper till you get the bugs worked out is another option lastly I do not work for usc but am a long time member here - the term staff in the moderators title is a little misleading . . . .more like volunteer LOL

Yes way easier

Teach a man to fish , hell I'm still learning to bait the hook.

Not sign cutting related but on topic with static electricity and dryer sheets. Dryer sheets are also a great gnat repelant. In the summer we wipe our faces with dryer sheets to keep the gnats away. I usually stick one under my cap if they are bad and we are outside. On the static note if you have cloth interior in your car and you are getting zapped when you get out and touch the door you can spray it with aresol Static Guard. I keep a can in my truck. You can also remember to touch the door before you slide out of the seat and the static will discharge without shocking you.
