I have a customer who needs the graphics redone on his semi. I took a picture of it and tried to use inkscape to vectorize it. Unfortunately the color contrast isn't good enough to get a good result. I got the font, but the raccoon tail and top of the B is where I'm having problems. It was origionally black with brushed aluminum and it lasted for almost a million miles! If someone can help, I'd be extremely greatful!

The cut vinyl business is doing great. Making signs and graphics. Now I'm looking to expand, but I don't know which direction to go. Do I go into the apparel and get a silk screen set-up, or a DTG printer? Or do I go with a wide format printer and do printed graphics? There are a few Silk Screen businesses around this small community. Only one business who does printed graphics. I would like to go into something that'll help in the four month of the year that's slow. Any suggestions? How do I research the demand in small rural communities? Ask the experts on US Cutter. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Thanks, you guys are great!

Where is this font available at? This is a must for my collection.

I'm finding ones that are close, but the s throws me off. Do you think the creator of this card used a different font for the s?

I think it'll work. Thank you very much!

I have a request for a teepee on t-shirts. I found extremely simple ones, but I would like something with a little more detail. In an EPS file please. Thanks in advance.

Does SB have spell check? I never noticed, if not, that would be a great addition!

anyone have a wine or champaine bottle? I don't drink it so I can't spell it either! lol thanks!

My boxes must be old. They are brown on the inside. Never heard anything from the postmaster. Now flat rate boxes I heard would get trouble going. If you're still leery about it, I've even gone to local grocery stores and asked for their old boxes. There's plenty of cardboard to make shipping containers/ envelopes for decals.

I've been on this forum for quite a while now, and I see ppl comment and it shows a list of equipment they use. Where is that option? I would like to use this feature. Thanks!

I usually keep the tubes from my vinyl (there's no writing on them). Roll the graphic up and tape the ends, and you're ready to ship. With the tubes being ridgid, there's no way they'll get crushed. Or even keep the boxes the vinyl comes in, You may have to wrap it to cover the lettering. On flat decals, take a priority mail box, cut the seam and turn it inside out but leave it flat. Tape the edges and it's good to go.(sometimes I put a piece of cardboard inside where the crease is to keep it ridgid)

I went ahead and corrected it for him and let him know that I didn't appreciate his worker jumping my butt. I also gave him another business card and told him to call this number, not the cell phone. Always a learning process. But I am putting the 60 day notice on my invoices to keep it from happening again. Thanks for the feedback.

I got a call on my cell phone from a lady who works for a customer of mine. Right off the bat, she jumps my butt about a mis-spelling I did on their sign. I did their sign over 4 months ago. When I did it, I printed a proof for the owner to check everything, and he approved it. The lady said it's embarassing for them having it mis-spelled, which I understand completely. But 4 months? Why didn't they say something after it was done? The sign is 16' in the air, and had to rent scaffolding to install it.
I decided to go ahead and correct it, but charge for fuel to get there. I'm adding on my invoices a notice that if any corrections need to be made, contact me within 60 days (30 if they sign the printed proof), after that time, the owner will be responsible for any corrections.
I will have a talk to the customer to tell him that I deal with him only, and if he needs anything, he needs to call the shop number, NOT my personal cell phone! I feel like charging for the removal and installation, just because of the B**ching out that I got!
What do you think?

Thanks Sandjink. Can you convert it into an eps file? SB won't open it.

I heat the shirt to flatten it out, how long do I press the shirt for to get the moisture out? 24 hrs? that could be my problem, I think it was around 8-10 hrs before I washed them.
-
no, that wasn't in the instructions. is that something i need to do?

I have a TransPro 15x15 press, Epson WF1100, both ClearSoft inkJet and HTW InkJet Light-Premium transfer papers, Anvil Pre-shrunk 100% cotton, and Jerzees Heavyweightblend 50/50 shirts. I just can't figure it out why after the first wash they are cracking. I'd hate to make a bunch of shirts to sell, and then have a reputation for low quality products. I'm almost scared to make anymore.
-
Light shirt, followed instructions, checked time and heat. Even turned them inside out and washed on cold, and dried without heat. Not too sure on pressure, i figured if it's hard to lock down, it's heavy, and easy is light. Unless there's a science to it. And I'm using the same press as you have.
-
Is is common for heat transfers to crack after the first washing? I did a few t-shirts using HTW transfer paper, pigment ink, followed the instructions to a T, but when washed (by the instructions) the image looks cracked. Am I doing something wrong, or is this common?
-

I'm using pigment and going by the setting for clearsoft inkjet 375-400 degrees for 8-10 seconds (that's what the paper from Pro World says)
Any websites still have free sign blazer?
