    How is the lag time on the macbooks? I use an imac mostly but have been considering buying an additional macbook pro and was wondering if the processor bogs at all with illustrator? I know even my desktop will slow up sometimes when rendering large tracings or 3D images. 

    I use a 2013 Macbook Pro with Illustrator and Photoshop both running and never get any lag.  I do have 8 gig of ram however.

    Sisser is the easiest to weed of the three I have in stock...

    (Sisser, Fibron & ThermoFlex Plus).

     

    Old shirts are okay...but why waste a perfectly good design?

    Go for it!

    Check out the outlet shops for marked down Ts...just be sure to

    wash them in case they have sizing or other treatments on them

    to prevent wrinkling.

     

    AND REMEMBER MIRROR!!!

    :rolleyes:

    Great advice so far.  Just watched a few videos...WOW, that stuff looks like loads of fun to weed.......Nope

     

    I think I'll put off my order till tomorrow after I have tim ego look at these items..Pillow etc.

     

    Sisser easy weed a good place to start?  Anyone ever use old t-shirts to practice on?  Wasn't sure if washed shirts are a bad idea.

    Gonna take the plunge and go for the heat press.  This is what I plan on getting

    Can anyone give me a list of other things I might need to get started.  I know I need some t-shirts and Vinyl.  Any suggestion on what vinyl?  What Shirts?

     

    Also, anything else I need besides the vinyl and shirts.  I know I saw something about using some type of sheet or something between the press and shirt...Dont remember.

     

    Look forward to this!!

    Not sure if I'm not googling it right or what but I can't seem to find many wall templates.  The photos you can add your decals on in photoshop.  Like a mock up.  I can find most anything else.

     

    I see them all over easy.  these folks are getting them somewhere??

     

    I know after someone post where I'm bonn feel like a goof

    And when I say acting up, it's only on the white vinyl.  Oracal 651  for some crazy reason the tape listed above does not want to stick to the craft paper backing on white oracal 651.  It's the blue colored backing paper.  every other color does fine more or less.

     

    I'd like to try some main perfect tear but the link below is all I can find local..is that the stuff everyone or most like?

    I like fellers for quick stuff because they are like 20 min from my house

     

    I'd also be curious how it works with Oracal 631

    Yea, I don't have a set size I've been cutting more of than another.  I will say that ordering 50 yard rolls is a bit cheaper than getting 10 yard rolls.  I found I went thru the one roll of 15"x10yard roll of white pretty fast.

     

    I think my next order of white is gonna be 50 yards.  Im just debating 15 or 24 inches
