I need to purchase a rolling cutter/trimmer. I would like any suggestions on which brand and size to purchase. I would like to be able to cut at least 36" vinyl with application tape. I work off of a large 4' wide x 8' long table. I'm thinking I will put the trimmer on the table instead of purchasing one with a stand. Any disadvantage to this? Any advise is appreciated. I would like to make this purchase one time. Thank you.

Right now I'm using an aluminum 4' level and a razor blade. Your method would be much better. I cut the same decals in groups of 50 to 100 that are 4" tall x 24" long. I was thinking that a rolling trimmer would give me more professional looking results, be more consistent, and speed up the whole process.

Just curious: For those of you that own a Sawgrass printer, how many 8.5 x 11 prints do you get out of a set of the standard cartridges? I know it varies by what you print, etc. Just an approximation. Also, how long are the cartridges generally good for? From what I understand the unit can sit for months with no problems. I can't get over $325 for a set of cartridges. Wow. Thanks.

I would like to be able to do a color design on a black cotton shirt similar to the attached picture. I've looked at all the options but thought I would ask the experts. What would be the best way do do this type of design on black cotton? Cheapest way? I want to stay away from screen printing although I'm sure that would be a good option. Thanks for any advise.

How good of a product does a eco solvent printer with siser colorprint produce?

That's what I figured the answer would be. I guess I was just hoping not to hear.... "ah, maybe 25 at best."

I recently purchased a press from Heat Press Nation. I also purchased a Teflon sheet to use. First thing I noticed is that even though the unit is set for 305 deg f it is actually around 325. I turned it back to 280 and it sits right at 305. I'm using two non-contact thermometers to check. Is this normal for a press to be this far off? (Probably so for an inexpensive press) When pressing my first shirts, I used the Teflon sheet and could not get the Sisser Easy Weed Glow-In-The-Dark to transfer. It just stuck to the carrier paper. I was pressing for 13 seconds at 305 deg (actual temp, not what the unit was set to). I removed the Teflon sheet and it pressed on the first try. Do I need to increase the heat when using the protective sheet? Press longer? I'm sure there is a trick here I just don't know... Here is the Teflon "Non Stick Sheet" I am using: http://www.heatpressnation.com/pro-grade-non-stick-sheet.html Thank you for the help in advance. There is a wealth of information on this forum.

Does anyone have a template for a 2010 F-150 Super Crew available? I believe 2008-2015 are all the same. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

I don't have mine in front of me but it does not look like you have the blade holder positioned correctly. I'm pretty sure the brass knob portion of mine sits flush with the black carrier. Make sure the blade holder is sitting in the correct position.

I was looking for something to show a customer a layout. I just used a picture of the truck.

Now that makes sense. Thanks.

A question to see if anyone knows: USCutter offers the 24" on their website. There is a 25" and 28" available on Amazon (both ship from USCutter). Is there truly three models available in this size range or is one/two of them last years models? I'm just wondering why there are three different choices. I already ordered the 28" from Amazon but now I am curious why the different models. Thank you.

I'm thinking the 28" I ordered off of Amazon (from USCutter) is an older model. Concerns me a little.

I understand what the different sizes mean. Does USCutter's manufacture actually manufacture a 24", 25", 28", and a 34"? It seems that since the first three sizes would all be using 24" vinyl, why would they make three different sizes all as current models?
