    Do they offer a free trial of flexi?

      "  I can also send you a full working Demo DVD copy of the latest version 8.5 with 30 days to try all features free!

    Call me or send me your company name and mailing address for the demo. 

    Thank you,

    I did a search & got the e-mail address ( dallas@reecesupply.com ). Sent them a request for the trial . If you do try it also . let me know what you think . seems ALOT of people think Flexi Starter is bare bones & mostly a cutting tool which you support with coraldraw etc . I'm doing good with SignBlazer , just wondering if there is something a little easier ( especially in the measuring department ) regards , Rodger

    My first cutter came with Flexi Starter. I had never seen a cutter,never used cutting software. I was cutting with FlexiStarter in 20 minutes. Well worth the money. If I, a total greenhorn (then) could use it that easily,anyone can. Buy it...you won't be sorry.

    Thanks for the reply Banner . I have not bought SignBlazer Elements yet , still in the trial mode . I will be able to make a better decision after trying the Flexi demo .

    Yeah, I've seen that pricing on e-bay.  My post was mainly to provide a resource for the Flexi demo.  Hope the info helps anyone looking to test before purchasing. :)

    Thanks for the Demo contact  ;D , I e-mailed my request already . I have only done my own trucks/equipment so-far & never intend to do more than yard sale stuff when i semi-retire .

    Hi All ,

    I got SignCut with my Copam. Got up to speed with it . USCUTTER started using SignBlazer & I really like it . The measurements & some things are hard for me since i am not computer savy . Is the Flexi starter easier & worth having also ? Plenty of E-bay auctions that don't get the 1rst $119 bid .

    Thanks , Rodger

    Hi ,

    I up for buying a care-package :thumbsup: . Put together any excess colors & let me know how much & I'll buy  .

    i have 4 colors ( red , white , black & orange prism effect vinyl which i REALLY like ) & would like a better selection . I make decals for my trucks , equipment etc & have not sold 1 decal yet . I give plenty away though .

    regards , Rodger

    To Jerry , a life done very well

      It's tough to loose somebody as nice , kind & giving as Jerry . I will be missing him & as BannerJohn said , more than i know right now . BannerJohn has more in common with Jerry than the first letter in his name . BannerJohn also has the same nice , kind & giving personality with ALOT of knowledge . All the other guys at SignBlazer with Ken & BannerJohn plus the others on this board have the same great personality , so i won't loose as much as some . This forum is great as there has only been a few newbies that are jerks . Everybody else has the good friend attitude . i say thanks & cheers to Jerry & also thanks for the help everybody gives here .

    Hi , Thanks for the replies . I asked the decal Co what the decals were made of & they didn't answer directly , so i don't know what type they are . I'll try pressing the shirt before transferring . I was not using new shirts ... is that a no-no ? I didn't have any new shirts & figured i'd screw up the used shirts before messing up new shirts learning what to do & alas ... what not to do ;)

    i did test the clamping pressure as the decal co said ( not able to pull a dollar bill out when clamped ) & that's correct . I'll try preheating the shirts & also the bottom plate .When i preheat the botom plate , do i leave the rubber pad in ? The decal co said the rubber pad was ok to leave in when pressing . I enjoy making sign letting , but i would rather buy the decals already made & plan on having my Co logo made into heat transfer decals . Is anyone interested in giving me a price for that ?

    Thanks again, Rodger

    Hi All , i bought a heat press before USCutter started selling them ( wish i had waited ) . I am just getting started using it . It looks JUST like the multi-heat press USCutter sells  . I ordered some pre-made decals . set the press at 380 F & did 10 seconds like Boo-Z Wearhouse told me . When i first got the decals a couple months ago , i did 1 T-shirt & the edges didnt stick & it was the holidays ( decal co wasn't open ) , so i quit so not to waste T-shirts & decals . I tried again today & the only thing that came out good was to a wash cloth given away by Shell gas staions  . i tried longer times  ( better ) & hotter temp ( worse ) . Does age effect the transfer decals ? I peeled the transfer tape right away as the decal co told me . Anybody got any ideas what i am doing wrong ? Does anybody here sell pre-made decals ?

    Thanks , Rodger

    Hi All , at the Atlantic City sign show , the heat trasfer material for cutters was made out to be indestructable , "last longer than the fabric"  . Is there inkjet type decals being made or only silk screened ? ( seems the silk screening does not last ) since i don't know from experience , i only know what i have been told . i would trust board members alot more ... any advice ?

    thanks , Rodger  :snow:

    Hi , hope this isnt too far off topic ;D , i was impressed at the T-shirt vinyl at the Atlantic City sign show & got a heat press that does Hats , T-shirts , mugs & plates from e-bay . Seems there are inkjet quality decals pre-made available CHEAP . i will get some T-shirt vinyl to do my own logos most likely ( might be cheaper to have the big guys custom make them for me :lol: ) . Now the actual question , What type decals should i get ? i know the silkscreen stuff doesnt last well , is there an easy way to determine what decals are made of ? the suppliers shy away from a direct answer so-far .

    thanks , Rodger Myers    :snow:

    i used the .99 stuff from Wally World on my dumptrucks about 6 months ago , everything is just like when applied . On my pick-up , i didnt clearcoat & the same metal viynl is faded BAD . i have been told that you can clear coat the vinyl after cutting & before transfer tape if you let the clear dry COMPLETELY .  :snow:

    Hi , i'm looking to get a supplier for heat transfer decals . After going to the Atlantic City sign show & seeing the picture quality printers , looking at the decals available on e-bay , i think buying the multicolor deacls is better than making anything else but specific requests . Sellers on e-bay tell me they buy from a wholesaler , but alas.... ;D they wont share that info . i'd like to get a supply of the generic t-shirt decals .

    Thanks , Rodger
