    Vinyl Cutter Upgrade From a MH 14 inch to a (?)

    I could not afford a newer machine at the time is the laser pointer 2 compatible with Mac computers I am still starting a part-time business. I wish I had somebody to teach me all of the ins and outs about the vinyl cutters but I don't so I half to learn as I go.

    Vinyl Cutter Upgrade From a MH 14 inch to a (?)

    I have been thinking about the laser pointer 2 for the past couple of months it looks like a good machine for the price it looks like it's pretty close to the roland machines I like that you can cut more than 10 inches it would work much better for the T-shirts I am starting to make

    Vinyl Cutter Upgrade From a MH 14 inch to a (?)

    Well if I do not watch it it has its own mind and messes up a letter or something like that I was probably just sugarcoating it more like 25% or 30% of the time. Like today I was making cursive one letter initial for a tumbler cup. I was doing four different kinds of cups but one initial on each cup I was cutting white vinyl and all the letters were missed placed and running into each other (not spaced out like it's supposed to be) I tried it again the same thing, I tried repositioning them and the same thing, I tried making a brand-new sheet and the same thing. I finally just gave up and told the person I could not do that sorry for the inconvenience. It drives me nuts plus I need a machine that cuts more than just 10 inches anyway. I think I would save me vinyl because I have to cut the oracal 631 rolls from 15 inches to 12 or 13 inches that's another big loss of vinyl. It would save me a bunch of time and money. I am very good with computers but this machine drive me nuts
  4. He guys I am going to upgrade to a new vinyl cutter. My MH machine messes up 65% of the time and I waste vinyl that way. I am using a Mac laptop computer. I think I would have about $500 to spend. What would you guys recommend that is 100% reliable that I don't have to babysit. Do you think I could I send my machine to US cutter and get a little bit of a discount.

    Trouble cutting/weeding glitter heat transfer vinyl

    I am also having the same problem with the SISER Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl my blade just does not want to cut the stuff. I think it might be too dull. I order 1ft to try it out. Would the SISER VideoFlex Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl be better the price difference looks a lot better.

    I need help to turn a logo into Victor for my scalp

    I wish http://www.fellerscertified.com had siser easeyweed their warehouse is like 15 minutes me. My dad asked me to do some jackets hoodies for his painters. I can't find any videos on how to do a jacket with a zipper. Can someone give me some advice. Do I just cut it in half and do I need a Heat Printing Pillow that us cutter has?

    How much would you guys charge for a logo front and back on T-shirts the T-shirts cost me about $2.50 and my dad is going to be a repeat customer. Remember it is going to be two different colors red and black. Does anybody know where I can get siser easeyweed cheaper than it is on US cutters it looks kind of expensive to me. And 5 yards did not go very long. I messed up about the first four or 5 feet of the vinyl but I learned from my mistakes and will not messed up in the future.

    Why is it when I post pictures on here sometimes there sideways, sometimes they're upside down and sometimes they're perfect.

    I made my first t-shirt for my dads painting company. The T-shirts are for his painters. I bought five medium, five large and five extra-large T-shirts from jiffy.com. I did not know this at the time but they are in Georgia not far from me and it only took one day to ship. I also got a couple nice shirts because I had to spent $50 to get free shipping. The siser easy weed was much easier to work with then oracal vinyl. I did have some trouble with the small letters for the front but I think it is okay. I also forgot to cut it in reverse the first couple times. But I think I might get the T-shirt business it was fun to do. I only bought the 12" x 9" heat press because I do not have very much money to spend I wish I bought the 15" x 15"

    I think thick and thin are the same quality. I and most people I know prefer the thicker T-shirts thank you Jay for the guide I never knew what the oz meant. The possibilities are endless with the vinyl cutting machines that's what I like about them. I will post a picture when I make my first T-shirt good thing I have a US cutter warehouse in the next state I get most of my stuff into 2-3 days I can't wait till my heat press gets here.

    I do not have the fine motor skills to freehand stuff I have to use a stencil. I was looking at http://www.shirtchamp.com that was one of the first one that popped up when I Google search T-shirt wholesale $30 worth a T-shirts and they wanted to charge me $20 for s & h how do you expect me to make a profit with those prices I will look at www.jiffyshirts.com thank you I am always afraid to buy T-shirts online I have no idea if they are thick or thin

    I brought my vinyl machine to make stencils for painting wooden signs like the one in the picture. I could never got them sold I have a bucket in the basement of about 50 different signs. I hate the clean up of paint and takes a long time sanding the wood down, waiting for the paint to dry, and having to put on two or three coats if the first coat is too thick you have to re-sanded it just drove me nuts sometimes. Plus spending all that money on good quality paint. Vinyl decals for cars and walls and millions of other applications is so much easier and faster and you can make more money at it.

    My dad would like personalized T-shirts for his painters I have always wanted to try the heat transfer vinyls so today I bought some heat transfer vinyl and a heat press. He buys them from Vista print I think for $6 but he has to pay s & h His painters go through T-shirts very fast because they get paint on them so I am going to have a big repeat customer. I was looking online to buy T-shirts in bulk and the shipping was crazy. I found some cheep but thick White Fruit of the Loom T-shirts at target. I added up and the shirt and vinyl I use would be about $4 and I can sell them to my dad for $8 but I can personalize them with the painters name.
