    I recently obtained two Speed Presses. a 72" and a 34".  I know some people have made their own and my question is, do I have to use the speed press app tape or can I use any clear app tape? I have high tack, but think maybe low tack would be better?

    I have a business door I'm going to be doing and the total size is 20" x 26".  It's two color but only the top third gets a second color and it's just a square.  Going by the L+W/2 I should charge in the $23 range plus maybe a little extra for the second color.  I have no shop yet and no real overhead, so what is fair for installation?  I ended up quoting $40 for the decal and $20 for installation, he agreed, but do the numbers seem right?  Also is 651 ok for glass doors?

    The sun is shining here in Michigan and it's a balmy 35 degrees here, up almost 80 degrees from the -40 with wind chill we had last week, and I'm suffering from spring fever already, which got me thinking about window tinting.

     

    I know my SC cutter isn't supposed to be able to cut film, but I've heard of some people cutting it with an SC and was curious how much luck they've had?  And where is the best place to get film (I do have an EIN)? It's something I want to get into this spring and hit it HARD through out the summer, along with graphics and possible wrapping.

    Should've kept the deer hair!  It would have stopped the vacuum effect on your wheels for better gas mileage!

    Actually, I called, I mean, e-mailed Oracal customer service and they UPS'd me a color guide for free.  Just received it today and it's the same one US Cutter sells for $10 and is pictured above.  I don't understand why these aren't free upon request, even from US Cutter.  It's a tool to market and sell their product.  But Hooray for Oracal Customer service.

    I know this is a bit off, but last week I went up to a local ice rink to drop off decals for a hockey team from Canada, during a tournament. And there were a couple guys up there selling t-shirts with the tournament logo screen printed on the front and they were offering custom lettering on the back. They were using a MH series cutter and a cheap t-shirt press (I didn't see the name). Point is, they were using bottom of the barrel equipment and if I had to guess, I would say they walked out of there with no less than 7k. I say start with what will give you the best value for what you can pay, and upgrade when it's necessary and possible. My 2 cents.
