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

Guy at the day job wanted these made up, they have a group that gets together every Thurs to drink and have fun. They also ride bikes in the summer. hence the old guy on a bike. Ordered 4 to start but sounds like I have another 10 or more to do when these are seen. Also gotta get my air eraser as they want beer mugs to match.. Kinda excited that this is taking off so good so far

Dude, why don't you call me anymore? I bought a cheap phone, it doesn't have a #6 on it... How long have you had it? I don't know, my calendar doesn't have any 5's...

Don't know, didnt really discuss that. He didnt seem to want a lease tho. I just made $180 in sales today. Sold a fabricated part that i produce, and sold 20 smaller decals to a guy.

X2 on what Dakota said. If you want walk in customers or cars driving by to see you then don't bother with a place that isn't really visible to a lot of traffic. The office space I had was very nice and roomy but I had zero walkins there. It was one block from a busy downtown area but just not visible from the street. My advice is either add whatever you would spend on the office to rent a bigger house and dedicate separate space to vinyl or rent an office that will get you foot traffic. If your banking on the new work place increasing your revenue then visible advertising helps but a visible store front will help more. Just don't get in over your head man. The less overhead the better!

here is what i was trying to do for those who asked.

I was gonna just ask that' cause the directions for the mugs say put in room temp water. However everything I saw no one did, so here it air cools. Thanks dakotagrafx

Very cool buddy I like it however it might be the angle of the picture but is the image slanted? I think its the angle of the pictures however I like the design a lot.

0 Speedstroke DNA for "racecars, phone # and location" Rapier is the closest i found for "Speed" Aachen is the closest i found for "Virginia" Shouldnt be hard to make the last two work if you can't find exact matches *Edit* -- Rapier for the "S" and Brush Script for "peed" will get you even closer i think

Actually it was cut, because he didn't tell me the motor cover was black, and I cut it as black and blue thinking white cover, and I was wrong lol teach me to forget to ask color of object it was going on.

Like I keep saying - no matter how much you spend on your cutter, it's just a series of motors, gears and rollers that move the vinyl & blade holder around - it's the BLADE that does the real cutting, and so many people cheap out and say "Oh, I'll buy the generic $5 imports from China rather than spend FIFTEEN WHOLE AMERICAN DOLLARS on a single blade (that will probably last longer than 3 $5 blades)"... And they're made right here in the great state of Iowa, so all the more reason for me to spend my money with Ross than some wholesale importer out of Hong Kong...

The real me. 3 generations. Me,mom,and my son Fred. Mom is 91 and helps me weed.

I am indeed using 3.053...maybe (hopefully) it's something as simple as that being the issue? So when I check for updates within the software, it says none are available. I did however Google the new version and found it on US Cutter's site. Downloading now. Since I downloaded it originally and it said there were no updates, I thought I already had the latest version! Another potential...I am running Windows 8 and there's no driver specifically for 8 on US Cutter's site. I chose the Window 7 driver. FWIW, I am a fan of US Cutter. I researched this purchase for over 3 months before I took the plunge. I order all my supplies here now. I watched so many videos and read so many reviews. I got the SC to "hold me over" until I make enough money to upgrade again. I really was torn b/w the MH, SC and LP2. I considered the Copam as well. Based on reviews and what I've read on the forums, people have issues with all those models. I don't know if there are some lemons out there but that's my guess. Or the machines are super-sensitive to static and different circumstances affect the performance. My house in only 6 years old and we have not noticed any other issues with the electricity being weird but my husband recommended we have an electrician out to make sure the grounding is working right. I AM set up on carpet though so I'm going to put the machine on an anti-static mat and try the dryer sheet thing I read about. The van turned out OK. I had to give my client an IOU since there were two panels I couldn't finish due to the ruined vinyl rolls. Personally I think it will look too busy once we add that, so I'm kind of glad I got to take pics of it the way it is right now. I wouldn't have thought to do that.

Signblazer is very to use. I have been using it for 3 years without any problems. Download it from the US Cutter site(it's free). As said before, use your pen tool and paper to practice with.

my original eps had issues I just tested it this is a new improved version. STAY_CALM_KEEP_FISHING.eps

So having yur business card or flyer on a bulletin board is "unprofessional"...if so thats so f'n stupid. I have my card at on the board at my local barber shop, my local supermarket, laundrymat, and post office. Theres nothing unprofessional about it. Now you wanna here about advertising that is unprofessional yet really genius! Around here its called "Stare Advertising"..its placing boards and business ads on the wall right infrontof the urinal in public restrooms! So as im holding my manhood and peeing i can read local and statewide business ads! And trust me...i would rather hear "oh i saw your ad on the board at the supermarket"...than this "hey man i saw your ad as i was taking a piss". Also look up the term "professional"..it varies depeing on the said "profession".. Our profession is essentially graphics and advertising with such graphic media..so anyway that we can inform our potential customers of our service should be "professional".Thus having a card or flyer in a high traffic public area is professional. Nailing my card to a tree in the woods would be unprofessional..as not many people are gonna see it. And anyone who passes up free advertising is just stupid! So i dont think having my card on a bulletin board is unprofessional at all. Any way of getting your name to potential customers is a plus..

doesn't Dad know it

there is alot of that on here.... people taking paying jobs and don't even know anything about making decals,what kind of vinyl or tape to use, , run their vinyl cutter, or even know how to vectorize an image. Then they are fuming, because they can't get there order done. or have wasted 30 ft of vinyl.. these people should look in the mirror and blame themselves. As with anything, you have to practice, practice, before you should be accepting any orders..... my 2c.
