Looks good from here!

Yeh, I'd be curious to see how it holds up too... Always nice to have options and I have the instructions on the wall by my press! LOL Between airbrush,transfers and heat press vinyl, all have different settings/times.

yea i saw the driftwood font as a close match and searched for some time. bannerjohn i dont know how you found it but thank you very much. saves alot of wear and tear on the cutter. AbsoluteAirbrush is that why the cutter goes insane? is it to many "edgey nodes? thanks again for the help guys
Yep, you always need to recreate text as opposed to vectoring it.

Liked your page Piston with both my personal and business accounts.

You don't want to vector text in inkscape, you're wise to find the font or one close enough.
Good Luck! alan

Click on the node editing arrow and click and drag a box around what you want to delete and then click the "-" sign in the toolbar, the second one, after the "+" sign, then resave it as an eps and you should be good.

Classy!

IMO, yes for anything other then smaller decals. Alot more room for error and easier to get the bubbles out. And there's homebrew recipes for making your own app fluid if you search on here.

How are you applying it? Wet/ Dry? Are using the hinge method? Are you holding the vinyl with a little tension on it while you're applying it?
Small bubbles can be poked and with a little pressure they will dissappear.
Give us some more information and I'm sure someone will help.
Good Luck! Alan

We've all been there... I still make beginner mistakes! LOL

You may try What the font...
Good Luck! Alan

I use siser easyweed for everything heat press vinyl and my customers as well as myself like it. It actually has a little softer feel than some screenprinted stuff I've seen.
Plenty of options and I'm sure others will chime in as well. Alan

He made a special request for them to draw him a fish and they did...

Lack of clean cuts could be improper blad depth, the less expensive vinyl you're using ( I use oracal products ), and/or you're connection you have on your cutter, whehter usb or serial, with serial being the best method. You may need to try a lower tack transfer tape to prevent that problem, and make sure you have any bubbles out from between the tape/vinyl before attempting to apply it.
It also could be the cleanliness of the vector that you're cutting can cause problems too.
As far as weeding goes, make sure when you're weeding that you're pulling the vinyl almost back against itself and it's important to keep the same pressure,angle, and speed while doing this the best that you can.
If you can post pics of the problems, maybe we can help more if this information doesn't.
Good Luck! Alan
Heat press vinyl is easier to weed because of the back is sticky instead of the vinyl.

The way that I do sweatshirts is to just put the side that you're transferring to on the press at a time. I do this by, say a hoodie, the hood would be closest to me if I'm standing in front of the press and just let the rest hang/fall where it may... As long as you have the side you're transferring to smooth and straight, you'll be good.
Especially with the thickness of sweats, you could probably just do it normally but I do it this way just to be safe since sweats cost more than t-shirts.
You should have your pressure set to heavy transferring vinyl so the varying thickenss shouldn't be a problem, but I don't transfer over seams etc though...
If you're applying the design properly, there shouldn't be any shifting when you're pressing the other side.
Hope this makes sense and helps! Good Luck! Alan

Did they draw you that fish? LOL Just kidding! It's nice to have someone post POSITIVELY about anything.
Great Job! Alan

Get Inkscape ( it's free ), and then play around with it and watch videos on youtube and you'll get it along with asking for help here.
Good Luck Paul and let us know if we can help you. Alan

Industrial Polymers makes it. You need to spray it with a hopper gunner, like they use for drywall spraying.
OK cool, that's for info! Alan

You're welcome Justin, We'll be glad to help you learn how to vectorize anything you need, it's just that there are so many requests for vectoring, that many of us that do this fulltime, and couldn't get any work done, work that pays the bills. Let us know if you need help on learning how to vector. Good Luck! Alan

appreciate all the help, anyway you could post a pic and show a finished product of each. any way to do heat transfer and have just the image/logo be the only thing left behind.
I left out a word in my earlier post... " go on any color and there's NO film or background with either"
If you search under the Show your work part of this forum, under sublimation and transfer, you'll find plenty of examples.
