  1. Hello all... I am looking for a Dutch Shepherd and deer antlers. I have tried to vectorize the dutchie on my own and am ready to pull my hair out. Wasn't sure if anyone had one as well as a set of deer antlers for an In Memory of decal. Thanks!

      :thumbsup:


  2. Hello all. I am looking at getting some images printed on the heat transfer vinyl. Doing some shirts for a VBS and prefer to have the transfers over me just screenprinting them as there are a ton of colors and trying to keep the price down for them. Is there anyone that can give me a quote on this? I'm in Ohio and would need at least 45 maybe more.  Thanks in advance!  :thumbsup:


  3. How about Brady Bunch on Fontspace.com, doesn't get more down home than the Brady's. There was SF Distant Galaxy.  I like fontspace as you can preview your lettering before you waste time downloading the font. Good luck in the search. a good font makes all the difference.


  4. Wondering what you guys would have done in this situation:  I had quoted a sign job (using their old sign, removal and application of new vinyl) This was for a softball league, at $65.00. They also got 3 additional quotes. The winning quote was $15.00. There was around, using the vinyl calculator $26.00 in vinyl. Ok now here's the kicker. I am a screen printer and also do signs. Two of the signs they were going to have done I designed the logos for the shirts, and screened them. They asked me to send my artwork to the guy doing the signs so that he could do the signs. I was shocked. I also had the images cutter ready. I did not send him my artwork.  The one guy had no logo so I created one. The other one I had to match and re-create. What would you guys have done?? Just curious.  :thumbsup:  Thanks!


  5. I have used the Thermoflex Xtra on the nylon bags and had no issues. The temperature is  lower for that type of vinyl and the Thermoflex Xtra takes a little bit of getting used to on working with it.  You have to be careful the edges stick and I peeled cold. I will post a pic of the bags I have done. So far, they have held up great! Even used it on a huge athletic duffel. Just go for it!  ;)


  6. Has anyone used any of the Clipart DeSign USA software for images? I am needing to find some new sports images and was wondering if anyone has this software and what they think of the images?  Thanks.


  7. Thanks Cherokee, I wasn't sure on the new sign markup. I really appreciate the input as I wanted to make sure I wasn't overcharging  but wasn't shortchanging myself either. Alien, I do have a heat gun as well as a vinyl off remover. Wasn't sure if the heat would damage the old sign surface as it is painted. I was able to grab a corner of the old vinyl and it started to pull up. I will post before and after pics if I get the job. Thank you both for the help! I really appreciate it. 


  8. I am trying to price a sign job, one of my first and just want to make sure I am on track.  I need to price a new sign and using the old sign and reapplying vinyl. It is a 32" round sign with 3 lines of text: 1st line is 21" long x 5" High, 2nd line is 18" long x 2 1/2 inch high and 3rd line is 12 " long x 2 1/2 inches high. I will have to remove the old vinyl and reapply the new. I had figured around $71.00, based on the vinyl calculator of $26.00 for vinyl and $45 per hour with one hour of labor.  Am I on track or way off base??? Also pricing out new signs using Aluminum .040 gauge and coroplast..came up with 115.76 and 88.47, I did not do any markup of the aluminum or coroplast as I wasn't sure what to charge...Help!  Thanks in advance!!


  9. HI. Well this newbie hates to not be able to figure something out...so I did finally figure it out. I got it to cut it out.  :)  The only question I have is how do you when you layer objects eliminate some of the cut lines. Say you combine an oval and a square and they overlap how do you eliminate the cut lines so that just part of the image is cut and not all of it. I figured if I removed the nodes then I would mess up the image. Hope this makes sense. Thanks so much for offering to help! Will post the image once I get them heat pressed on.
