gtrabant 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Hi everyone. I'm a newbie from Florida. I just purchased a Graphtec C5000-60 with the Coreldraw 3X and an Epson Workforce 1100 printer. I'm not going in the T-Shirt or sign business, but plan on creating my own shirts and signs for my photography business. I've had a heatpress for years and used the Avery transfer paper but now plan to step it up a few notches and go "bigger" on the transfer papers and use vinyl, as well, for shirts and signs. I'm sure I will have a lot of questions. I look forward to conversing with all of you and hopefully 'will gain enough knowledge to help some newbies down the road.

gtrabant 0 Posted April 2, 2011 Welcome Gary! Where if FLA ? Loved living there and would love to go back some day! Yes there is a definite learning curve I am proof of that ! lol. Prototype66, I live in Seminole and work in Largo (full time at a marina). The photography business is just getting started. Something to do during retirement, a couple years away. mr300s, no offense, but I hope never to have to meet your half brother. At least not law related.
