Good to know. I've never had to use their tech support, although I got the 90 free phone support thing when I bought my cutter. But their customer service had been top notch.

I dont see why not, I believe all the Workforce use pigment ink.

Baseball jersey numbers are typically 2" in front, 6" back for youth and 4" and 8" for adult. Names are 2" tall in the back. Most local shops (not sign shops, sports shops) around here sell and press vinyl numbers for $2 per number - single or double digits - per shirt ($4 total for front and back). Names are $0.50 per letter.

Both pigment and dye ink are waterbased ink. Pigment ink is more waterfast on most media making it more water resistent. Dye ink tends to run when it gets wet. Pigment ink is also more resistent to fading and has a longer life cycle. Dye ink is usually more vibrant in color. If you're printing on vinyl, both will require a coated media. T-shirt transfers - pigment is preferred as dye may fade after washing. Mugs - you'll need sublimation - so no on dye or pigment.

I think signcut has an option to cut in order (forgot what it's called) so the vinyl doesn't feed back and forth. it might help with tracking.

Yeah, the stuff shipped from Woodinville came in 2 days for me, it's the ones coming from Memphis that I'm still waiting on.

I finally got a tracking for the part of my order to be shipped from Memphis after calling USC every morning since last Wednesday. Good thing it's not something I needed right away. Interestingly, I asked USC if the order was being drop shipped from Oracal last week when only part of my order showed up, and I was told no, because I'll get it quicker from their warehouse in Memphis. Somehow, I'm not so sure about that statement.

Or you'd likely be speechless after the first cut on your graphtec!

Congrats!

Yeah, I got the same thing from USC when I tried to find out a tracking the remaining of my order. So, I had to pick up the phone to call and found out it's waiting to be shipped in Memphis.

I put rubber feet on mine. Just a simple $1 pack from Walmart did the trick.

If you're using it to make the screen, make sure you're only printing in black and white and you may need to adjust the saturation level higher to make sure the lines are very black to burn a clean screen.

Thanks Jen & Andy, grabbed them. Here are a few more. grads.zip grads.zip

You should be able to get totes wholesale from a T-shirt wholesaler. Tumblers, etc - I'd also try the dollar shop.

When you say screen printing, are you using it to print on a transparency to burn the screen? That's the only application that I can think of using an inkjet for screen printing. In that case, you'll only need black ink.

$60 for a pair.

I'm at $1.50-$1.75 each.

Same here.. SW takes like 2-3 days at most.. Most of the time UPS delivers it a day before the tracking says it's supposed to be here.. Not here... UPS out here is bad. My package arrived at the local facility 2 days early from what their tracking said, so they let it sit for 2 days before putting it on a truck!

Download inkscape and you can use the trace feature.

Is your logo vectored?

Congrats on the purchase!

I have an order placed with USC last week, and part of the order came from WA (which I already received) and I guess the rest, I'm still waiting for it to leave Tennessee...

Welcome from CA! You've got a great cutter there with the Copam!

Sandy, if you want to try using photoshop, just open your image, and under the "Image" toolbar, goto "Rotate Canvas" and select "Flip Horizonal" That should mirror the image. Good Luck.
