So the printer I bought @ Office Depot On-line got delivered yesterday (woohoo ) Today I go into the local Office Depot store and there's the printer I just paid $174 for on-line marked at clearance for $149 ......MY TIMING SUCKS

For some reason your objects are snapping to grid (even with that feature shut off) ....One of the major problems with your design is that the back, shoulders, and arm has open space. ( making it unable to be punch/welded ) It can be done but I can't think of a quick easy way...... maybe someone else will chime in

Just make circles in yet another color and cut them with each of the color/layers you need (use search function ther are about a dozen threads on this topic)

It might be static electricity from the vinyl..... Is your cutter grounded

I just use a wire with alligator clips. one to the cutter one to the screw on th outlet

I lurk more than post. I have always enjoyed reading Johns posts, as they seem to add another prespective far different from the normal posts, an added level of intuition that I would truly miss. This forum is like a seemed like family to me, I was concerned more of John and Kens health than a recent scare in my own family. John Best Wishes ( I hope you stick around) Pete G

Office depot online also (free shipping and live search bucks back) $174 Just0.... bought one .

Sounds like the blade is adjusted too far out of the holder or your pressure is too high

My first shirts also wrinkled..... I found out it was because i was stretching them slightly when i tried to get them strait in the press :-

I had mine since early 08 ....... paid for itself the second week I owned it. Runs several hours 2 or 3 times a week Never a problem

What are you using for frames and does that include the price of the blank and rider ?

I use 1 and 1 never a problem and cheap

I usually press hotter by 5o and longer by 20% (or press-peel-repress with teflon sheet) I usually wash my samples hot/dry hot with no problem....... However I include instructions to wash inside-out cool, tumble dry on low setting, with every shirt I sell in hopes that they might read it and have the shirt for a long time

I gotta agree with Spyder & Stunad.........numerous posts in 2 days, all sales pitches

I have ordered from them a couple of times before good people good product ....

Open -> File... Import ... File types The Post Script files import easily ( without vectorizing) The rest will import, but they need to be vectorized....HAVE FUN

That's how it all starts........ Oh, by the way.....your hooked

Also depending on your graphic, smart placement of your registration marks can save vinyl

Welcome from Connecticut

Welcome to the forum..... from across the big pond

I use S&S Activewear

nice shirts I like 3 & 5

Alumalite will work just fine.... 12 different colors and matching edge caps....colorfast guarenteed. I've used it a number of times and use a circular saw with a plywood blade to cut it

You might try edge caps made for alumalite, omegabond, or durabond. http://www.signboards.com/products/accessories.asp real nice touch & comes in many colors
