    16x20 swing away. Thought I was going to have a spare until I found the last one had a fried board.

    OMG!! WHAT A BARGAIN!!! There was a 16x20 over here for $1,000 on CL but after multiple calls with no call-back, I decided I better just buy new (hardly see these things go on sale over here)...

    hmmm....maybe they didn't call me back because I asked for a receipt from where they bought it from  :rolleyes:

    Thanks to Scott I got 4 of them last year for around $400 and a dozen screened shirts. Use 1 sold 2 for a profit and #4 was a bad board so I stripped it down and turned it into a flash dryer. They are GREAT presses.

    What size did you get those Hotronix presses at?

    SKEETER, I try to stay away from ZIP files, because before I was paying $50 or more year to unzip stuff and never really used it. But you were right, the computer did it like you thought :)

     

     

    Ok...so I downloaded the Cutting Master 2 to my computer and clicked on a few things to get it finished. Looked like everything worked properly because when I went into AI and clicked on the top where it says File, CM2 showed up. I opened up a simple phrase I had made last night and went File > CM2 > cut  and the CM2 opened up.....But nothing happened...I tried a few buttons and then nothing happened (with the cutter turned on). So I closed the CM2 window and that made my AI lock-up. shit....2 minutes later, message popped up and said CM2 had timed out, do you want to reconnect. I clicked no and then AI was useable again.....

     

    damn......

    I'm trying to download Cutting Master 2 off the Graphtec website, but all I can find is Cutting Master 3. I got an OLD version of AI (CS2) from my friend and he suggested CM2 might work better since the AI CS2 is such an old version, but what...are they no longer offering CM2 now??

     

    **(the cd's that came with my cutter only has Cutting Master 3 on it).

     

    Here is the page I was looking at:

    I saw this before...for that BIG of a wall sticker, do you really make money off of something this big (only $40?) The cost of that much vinyl AND your time to design it (I guess if you have a few templates, it doesn't take long), , cut it, weed it, time to wrap it up, mail it etc??

    Easy now. 53 ain't that old. 

    At least that's what I keep telling myself.

    Then again, my wife tells me I'm still 5 years old. Oh wait, she says I ACT like a 5 year old.

    Works for me.  :lol:

     

    Dirt, I know...and just wanted to see if the "older" times would bash me for saying that! BUT NOBODY DID!!!!!!!!!

    btw, I'm younger than you....my wife said I act like a 4 yr old ;) !!!!

    My wife tried that cream on her craft stuff....doesn't etch very deeply at all....looks too hokey for me....Sandblasting is MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But if she did it for car shows and other venues, and you want to try it out, I think Michael's and other Craft Supply stores carry it :) !!!!!!!!!!

    Shoot, if you've seen how it comes out on her stuff and she had good luck selling it, then GO FOR IT :) !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just ask the clerk for etching cream for glassware....

     

    Here's one from Wallmart:

    It's been a BIIIIG NO NO in this forum....Lot of people do it on eBay, but apparently they haven't been fined yet!!! Mz SKEETER will be one of the 1st ones to reprimand you, along with some others!!! I like that, because it shows they care about everyone on this forum and try to watch your backs from being sued.... However, I think some don't take their warnings and do it anyway....it's all up to you....if you own your own home...I wouldn't advise it.....
