I am not sure where you got that price for 4 color process, unless it was direct to garment printing. The set up alone on 4cp is usually $100-250. Is it a 3 color front and a 3 color back? Not to say you couldn't get it that cheap, but on average most contract printers I know would charge $1.70 for a 3 color 1 location print, plus $20 per screen. I actually sell these jobs retail for $2.70 plus the shirt. That is 3 color single side if you want 2 color on the back as well, it would be an additional $1.30. All inclusive pricing, screens, film etc. So just make sure you check quality and pricing before you quote it out.

Thats an amazing price. I do warranty work for HP, how can it be worth buying a machine for 16,000 if you only charge that amount of money. The supplies alone are so expensive, let alone the material and time you have involved. The price needs to come down big time for me to purchase a machine to only make $34 on something that size. If that is what the competition is charging out there, that is one part of the industry i am not interested in getting into.... Where did you find this price, and how did it turn out. The best I have been able to get wholesale is $4 sq/ft.

If you are screen printing onto t-shirts or the like, you dont want to use uv ink. Plastisol is the way to go and yes you need heat to cure, usually 320 degrees is the curing point for most inks. You can print it and then use your heat press to cure it, but it gives it a different texture. Depending on how you do it you can get different results. I would highly reccomend trying before offering it. I do both screen printing and vinyl for shirts. There is a lot of money to be made, depends on what you are selling them for. I can get from $15-25 for a shirt made with vinyl. Just depends on your market/customer.

Hello! Just got my MH721 put together, but am having problems getting it to send to plotter. I have the signblazer and Corel X3. All of the threads discussing X3 seem to be from last year...anyone got any ideas. Great site for help, have already spent hours reading previous info and threads.

I have some LG vinyl, but do not like it because of the inferior weeding ability. While trying to weed it, everything wants to come up at the same time. Which vinyl is good for easy weeding? Thanks

Will try to adjust and see what happens. Right now it is at 50, does that sound about right?

That is what I have...The Refine Mh721. Still working on figuring it out though...connecting to Corel not the cutter.

Windows XP... I got the cutter to work using the SignBlazer once I finally found where to change the com/port settings. But would love to cut direct from Corel X3 I set it up using what info I found on here. using the graphtec driver, but it didn't work for me. Anyone with any know how or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have V12 and VX3 they both have trace capabilities, but X3 is far superior. There are tricks to make it better, but unfortunately you will almost always have to tweak it a little bit to make it work.
