  7. 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!

    Mulit color with Thremo-Flex

    I just did a 3 color job with Thermoflex plus on material very similar to Under armour, not the compression style shirts but a loose fit shirt. Will see how they hold up. So far no issues. Does the Eco Film have a stretch to it?
  9. Your inks should be labeled. Also you will need someway to cure your ink either with a flash unit or conveyor dryer if using plastisol. Nice tight screens make all the difference in the world. Good luck!

    Font Suggestion

    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.
  12. I am always up late..have worked til 4:00 am on an order then got back up at 5:30 to help with a charity event. I think I do my best work in the wee hours of the night or is that morning??
  13. 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. Thanks!

    What would you have done??

    That's what I thought. They only purchased the shirts. I thought about driving by the field to see if they sign has my design on it.

    Nylon Bags??

    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!

    Vector Software

    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.
  20. 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!!
  21. 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.

    Newbie needs help!

    Hi. Newbie here and needing help. I have tried to get the bitmaps vectored with no luck. I can't get this one to work and need it soon. If you can help it would be awesome. I am using Corel Draw 9 and signblazer. Thank you! Survivor.SBD Survivor.SBD

    Newbie needs help!

    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.
  24. HI. I'm a newbie here and bought a PCUT. I have a vista laptop that I was planning on using with my cutter. The problem is I have installed the software and signblazer but the computer will not communicate with the cutter. Not sure what to try. The Com port said 10 but there is no 10 in the list of choices in signblazer.

    screen print screen

    I am a screen printer. I have been using emulsion and just bought a new cutter so thought I would try this. Well it worked extremely well. I used regular vinyl, applied it to the ink side of the screen, taped my screen off and printed up 6 shirts. No problems with the vinyl coming up and I had about 1 inch high letters with a graphic in the middle. I cured using my conveyor dryer and they turned out awesome!!!!! I used my ink remover which loosened up the vinyl and it came off my screen with no problems. Cleaned the screen and I am ready to go again. A huge thank you to the genius that thought this up! It worked perfectly.
