    Want to start sublimation

    Thank you Mz SKEETER .. I bookmarked the site, Still confused on how it works & what I can see is there is different Papers and inks for different jobs? and I would clearly want a 5-9 color printer not 4-6 ?

    Heat Press & Idea

    Hey all, I'm back on here finally got some free time from starting my newly vinyl business (kind of) very small still, but good news is I was able to make enough to pay off my titan 2. But now I feel like I learned enough to kind of jump ahead to heat pressing .. loved the idea from the start just could not afford both at the same time. So now that I been looking and researching I'm still lost on heat pressing and Printing. I was thinking of getting the new heat press us cutter just announced and with that I have a few groups wanting lanyards (let me not jump ahead) do you all like the specs of the new press from as far as i can read it seems great for the price and I'm sure not many on here made that purchase yet. Please all the opinions help Im looking to order with in the next 2 weeks or so after I can learn a little more .. Now sublimiation .. I have a HP all in one printer .. can i get the special ink and transfer paper and have this work or do I make that purchase down the road as well ? ... now last but not least.. for lanyards do you all print or can you do heat vinyl ? and are these good to start with(http://www.lanyardstore.com/economy-lanyards.html#product_tabs_review )there inexpensive & I know you get what you pay for but don't hurt to ask and learn from this all ... Thank you in advance and I greatly apologize if I posted this in the wrong section (wasn't sure since its a lot of different questions) enjoy your nights hope to hear back from a few of you !

    Got My Titan Yesterday

    Had time today to set the stand up and get the plotter on it ... Grounded it with the wire that comes on the titan .. NOW the hard part ( i put the ink pen in for testing reasons i guess & did not put any blades which in cause i have no idea what color or degree blades to use ) .. But thats not even the hard part Im going to download sure cuts a lot while i wait for people to help, but when I'm done downloading what the heck do i do it came with no directions the ones on the website don't tell me anything to do at all and I'm already frustrated due to the fact that the stand they have posted is not the stand I just built .. someone please help ! ( here are some pics for idea reasons ) I refuse to plug in cause I'm nervous i took off a tie wrap on the blade holder i believe )

    GreenStar ?

    Hey guys & girls, So today I think I finally picked a plotter for what I intend to use it for and after talking to UsCutter for over and hour I hope I'm making the right pick. Its the new Titan (not the 2) and well I'm new to this vinyl world but didn't want a basic set up, but need all the right tools so other then the machine I figured I'd go with there Bundle kit that comes with everything I need. Now with that comes greenstar and I got a very very very mixed feeling on that brand. Please someone let me know if its worth the hassle I don't want my in home business to be ruined before it even starts. My business will be for car decals, wall decals ( I am aware there are different types for indoor and outdoor) the bundle don't say what kind just greenstar here is the link: ( http://www.uscutter.com/New-Sign-Shop-In-a-Box-Weeding-Application-Tools ) later on when I learn enough id like to do banners and signs. - Thank you in advance -Mike

Thank you in advance and hope I gave enough info cause thats really all I know is it saved as .scut and idk how to make it a different file
