Love Square. For those with the issue of a weekly limit, I sent them an e-mail with more information about my business and they raised my weekly limit to $3,300. I am a small operation so it works great for me. johnsilver- SalesVu sounds good too if you have a good size business.

Square. Love it. www.squareup.com No monthly fee's. Can swipe cards right on my smart phone or even my ipod touch.

I have used 651 and it worked out decent. Had some lifting and cracking after a while. 751 really is the better media to use for vehicle lettering though.

Hey its up to you, just passing on issues I have seen to help you from having an upset customer down the road. Your choice if you want to save a few bucks and roll the dice...

Red 651 will fade in a few months just FYI. Step up to 751 if you want something that will last longer.

Here's the old... And a few ideas for the new... What do you think?

wow thats unique. Looks good.

I got mine from www.123print.com

You didn't hurt yourself too bad. I get $5 a square, which would have been $90.00 You got $4.16 a square. Better then I have seen some people charge on here.

The difference is a drop shadow around "Great Lakes" in one of the samples. I have never had a need yet to have my logo in single color, so I guess I haven't ever put any thought to it. Anything I have used it for, has been full color. Envelopes and all.

Should join your talents, re-do the back window in white, all of it. Then airbrush the vinyl to really make it stand out.

Can't say I am a fan of the font used. Looks like a fun project though.

Yup just install it. No problems here either.

A laserpoint is nothing like a true optical sensor system. Yes you can just load it in, it will auto scan for the registration marks and cut. The laser point just shines a little laser dot that you have to manually line up to the registration mark. It will get you close, but not perfect.

The Zen has digital servos instead of stepper motors. That alone to me makes it worth the extra coin. The Green is your basic cutter, and the Black is another step up with more force and tangical capabilities.

I agree, don't create more work for yourself because the guy wants to save a few bucks.

Clear tape is all I will use. I don't get why people are so against it. When you want to do multi color its much easier to see. I also find it to be stronger and less prone to tearing on me. Yeah, its a little more, but so what. Also you will want more then just a 12" roll. I would get a 6" as well for when you do smaller things. I have 1" all the way to 24" on hand in pretty much 2-3" increments. You will find its less wastefull to have multiple sizes on hand as well as being easier to work with. Just add to your collection as you see the need.

awww but I need some shoes.... :'(

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I need a logo designed for a lawncare company. I wasn't sure who if anyone on here offered that service. Post or PM me if you can help me out and how much you charge. Thank you in advance.

The joys of being new..lol Actually been at this for a few years now, but just don't post a whole lot.

yep... all of the above

Thats the chance you take using a chinese hobby grade cutter for business. I was there once myself when I started out. But once you spend a little more on better equipment, you will find you make even more money with it. I don't understand if you had work pending, why didn't you spend the whole $300 and buy another machine to use while the other was being repaired. To me it makes a lot more sense then loosing customers because you don't have a working cutter. Then you would have a backup all the time. Its called cost of doing business. Now is the perfect time to invest in a better cutter (something with digital servo motors) and keep that one for a backup/second machine. Once you have used a better machine, you will kick yourself for waiting so long to upgrade.

I like it! So that was done via sand blast then after cutting mask?

Blame China. They make it so anyone can buy a cutter for $200

I bought a Graphtec and sold it a week later
