superchuck333 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Attached is the EPS version of the USCutter logo. A Few Quick Questions.. I have been an avid Tshirt Designer for many years and need to know.... 1. Do you have a certain amount of colors to be used in the design or will it be full color.. (Ex. Will it be screenprinted with only say 3 colors or will it be Process or DTG printed!) 2nd. If screenprinted do you need overprints for the colors. What color garment are you looking to print it on? this will give all of us a base color to start the design. 3rd Where do we submit the design. I am not sure I want other members to see my design ideas until the end. We are competing for prizes? 4th Can we submit more than 1 design are just one.. If so they should be capped on winnings the same designer should not be able to win multiple prizes.. Thanks and I look forward to submiting my designs!

locknload1 17 Posted October 9, 2009 ???WOW... for a "NEWBY" you really want to complicate things!?!?!?!? How about a rule that says ***Do not attempt to use your plotter while driving***... LOL! This is and always (I hope) will be a "community", we all come here to help one another out and even to ask for help on occasion. US Cutter (which in my opinion may have a bit more to lose than you) even helps all of us out with products they don't even sell. The fact that you're worried about someone here looking under your hood, stealing your work or want to turn a graphics project into a t-shirt project makes the whole thing seem tons less fun across the board. I believe I speak for the rest of the community when I say, If you don't like to share then keep your toys in your own sand box, please? How about adding a rule that requires you post helpful content at least 20 times before you can participate in any contests or win any prizes? RG Attached is the EPS version of the USCutter logo.

Guest Posted October 9, 2009 The rules have been set. All submissions will be posted in this topic. You can use as few or as many colors as you would like, but keep in mind that we were planning on making these T's with vinyl.. if we get something very special we may look into printing, but as of now that is not the plan.

superchuck333 0 Posted October 9, 2009 did i really say something to tick people off i mean really jeez u guys dont like new members very much i guess if ur not part of the crew dont try to be! i just asked a few questions and voiced my concerns .... i was not being smart or anything what posses you to take shots at me = am not afraid someone will take my art i just think a contest should be just that... and the reason i am classified as a newbie is that when i first signed up for this board i thought that there were too many arrogant people crituiquing other peoples posts and art. most of the messages i have read on these forums are rude to new users.. clearly i must have been right ... as far as your 20 post rule that could not apply becasue some people in the world are us cutter customers weather they register for a forum or not.. seriously , do u feel more powerful than everyone else because you have posted alot.. uscutter should view u as bad for business... this clearly changes my opinion about rethinking where my next cutter will come from if i cant enter a contest. sorry if I hit a nerve to anyone else but these comments were only directed toward one. if u choose to kick me out of the server for defending myself... well ok I just do not take lightly someone who takes shots and does not know anything about me.. for all they know i may have been the next big thiing in this community maybe i will have to find another home..... sorry again...... peace out! sent from my HTC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 9, 2009 We would be over joyed if you would submit an entry Chuck. You seem to know what you are doing so I am interested to see what you come up with. I am not quite sure why you got the not so cheerful greeting above, but I would like to officially welcome you to the USCutter forum and invite you to partake in our little competition here.

Rodger 527 Posted October 10, 2009 Chuck , no member really speaks for the forum/community . The response you got definitely doesn't . I did not take offense to your post & I really like a good debate/discussion . Sometimes things are taken much differently depending on the person's current mindset & initial interpretation of the " gist " of the post . I think the member probably read more into it than what you meant . There is NOT a " click " in this forum ... ( well unless you want to be in my BG click ? ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
locknload1 17 Posted October 10, 2009 My apology Chuck, I was just being a wise a** and poking you a bit with a blunt stick.
