    I know (knew) where the image come from, I was just looking for some insight as to how I could download a particular image and be able to cut it. I'm still new to all this so

    I'm sorry if I offended anyone or asked anyone to do anything illegal, that was not my intention.

    Have a great day.

    Can anyone give me an idea on how to get this image onto a shirt. This is a pic that I think the customer downloaded from Pinterest. I've ran the image through Vector Magic and

    it just wont clean up enough and I've even tried tracing it in scal 4. Any ideas? I've tried other images just like this one also.

    So I just got my new equipment and started making my first decals and shirts this weekend. So I finally grabbed my first customer and it's  a font that I found

    using "find my font" but the only thing I really hate to pay for a font for my first paying customer. Any help would be appreciated.

    Am I understanding this correctly? That I should have a cheaper computer for cutter operation and that only. What about design software, wouldn't I need more ram

    to run the software?

     too many great deals for under $100.      Where can I get a computer for under $100?

    Ok guys, I'm looking into a small decal/shirt business and it's only obvious that I'm gonna need a "good quality" laptop. I'm not looking to spend a fortune as I'm trying to 

    keep my start up costs low. I've looked around online and I'm really not too sure about computers in this type of business. But I want something that I won't get easily 

    frustrated because of lack of speed or what have you. Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Thanks

    Can someone explain to me what sublimation is? I'm looking to do shirts in HTV with a heat press to start out. Is sublimation something I need a crash course in to just start out?

    Thanks

    Well I guess I was right. I was afraid of that. If I bought small, I'd regret it in just a short time and want to upgrade. That's exactly why I posted this question. I like that you mentioned the Titan 1 28". That was my second option. Now for software. I'll be using just an everyday household computer that's only about 2 yrs old. I'm guessing that will suffice

    for now but the software that comes with the Titan, does it have everything I need to start making T-shirt logos and not just lettering and cheap looking clip art. I want to make some

    local school shirts like team/school logos with the hopes of getting a school contract after a year or two experience.  

     

    Oh and one more thing I almost forgot. I want a better quality shirt blanks obsessively if I'm looking to get a decent school contract. Do I want 

    100% cotton, polyester, or a blend. and is there a good shirt supplier on the net? 

     

    Thanks again

    Welcome aboard Chris.  I cannot help with the Cameo 3 or T Shirts either, sorry about that.

    I might be able to answer questions about stencils on wood though.  I have done a bit of that.

    I am sure there will be some folks along who can offer some specifics for you,

    She is looking at these types of crafts. Is there any special vinyl or anything out of the ordinary to which we should use?

    Hello (from Ohio) everyone out there in the vinyl decal world. I've learned in the last couple days just looking around here that the decal world could be a science of it's own. My wife and I are thinking about 

    starting a small T-shirt/craft business. Nothing too big,  just a way to make a little side cash. She is more interested in the wood craft, stencil ideas and I think I'm more into the T-shirts. I don't want to invest a million bucks into anything just yet but I have about $1,000 just to get started. Were looking at the "sign shop start up packages". We've watched some videos that have the Cameo 3 vinyl cutter

    and seem to like it because of all the different materials that it can cut. I'm sure some of you have some ideas for the "Newbie" as to where to start. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Remember, we're new and have no experience, so what would be an easy start up package?  

    Thanks
