Will this work?

[Will this work?]

Is the window tinted?

[fonts not cutting properly-- center not cut out]

It sounds like the letters probably are filled with another color like white instead of the font color. I do not use sign blazer but that would be my guess.

[Banner Heat Welder]

I have seen heat welders as low as around $250 on ebay. I do a lot of banners depending on the time of the year. The thing is I get all sorts of request for odd sizes not really your standard 4x8 or whatever. Fellers does cut all of there banners. I stoped in one time to pick up a banner and I had to wait till they cut and hemmed it, they have no stock sizes which worked out pretty good. But just checking my options for somthing I can produce my self.  I can't really find rolls of 13oz or greater banner materail under .95 per yard. I have seen banner blanks on ebay go for around .50 a  foot. One guy sells 10oz banners sewn and grometed for about that price and another one sells 13oz heat welded and grometed for that or just a hair more. But finding odd sizes and colors is tough on ebay.

[Banner Heat Welder]

I'm looking to purchase a heat welder for hemming banners. Does anyone have one? If so are you happy with it / any good deals out there?

Thanks

[Who owns what kind of cutter??]

I got the refine mh721, mn1351, and a roland colorcamm.

Good job with the Algerian font. I usualy try to avoid it as much as possible. It is a pain to weed!

[Pen Tool help!]

If you have real clean art you can use the auto trace tool

[cropping tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Illustrator really isnt a good program for cropping anything. You can do it with a clipping mask. You will be better off bringing it in to paint or what ever your computer came with then bringing it into illustrator.

[mac tac?]

Ive used it and it seems alright. The only reason I bought it was because I works well with a thermal printer. I thought I rember it being more expensive 

[CRAP!!!! Note to self, let shirt cool before moving it!]

Depending on what heat transfer material you are using Acetone does wonders for removing misprints and saving screwed up shirts.

[Screen printing vs vinyl]

Depending on how much weeding there is usually any order over 10 or 15 for shirts or coroplast I will screen print.

[T-Shirt Wholesaler]

I ordered 14 hats from TSC appearel and they didn't tell me they were out of stock. They sent me 1 hat they had left and 4 week for the other 13 and charged me $12 to ship 1 hat. I had to reorder to get the other 13 after calling them several times to see when they wher in. you would think when they were in they would ship me the rest. I think I lost a customer because of it. thanks for the help!

[coroplast arrow]

Great! I posted that almost 4 months ago and though they might not exisit. Thanks

[???Bubble Vinyl???Gel Filled???]

It could be the domed decals I've seen. A decal is cut and then a epoxy is put over them.  The surface tension makes it dome until it hardens.

[applaying the vinyl on wet insideout a window]

If there is still a little water under the vinyl it will fog up like that sometimes on glass.

[Previewing eps files in XP (as thumbnails)]

I don't know what program you are saving out of. If you are using illustrator when you save as an .eps a dialog box comes up and you have the option to include document thumbnails.

[Pantone colors]

Fellers catalog PMS colors listed for most of thier vinyls

[ebay vinyl]

I recently used some 3M scotchcal. It had a clear release liner, super easy to weed and it was the best vinyl I ever used. The price did reflect it. I'll see how well it holds up.

[Anything better than Garamond]

I do have them an looked them up they will work great. Thanks a lot. Just had a ton to look through and can't remeber them all.  :thanks:

[Mount And Do Me]

Thanks a lot mark! 

[Reset refine MH721 memory]

I've had something similar happen before. Turning the cutter off didn't reset it, but when I unplugged the cutter and pluged it back in it did the trick.

[Anything better than Garamond]

I have to make a couple aluminum signs for a bakery. Unfortunatly I have to reset the text. They have no idea on the font. It donsen't have to match perfect. I was going to use Garamond but not all of the serifs match. Does any one have anything better? Thanks!
