MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 1, 2011 Hey SeeJay, you need to step it up... on that weeding time. Your losing money, BUT great job. I can do 2 of these in about 70-80 minutes. ..each 77" x 20" left and right. These put you thru your paces. I use a needle, pointed tweezers and an exacto knife.

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 1, 2011 I am a full time EBAY store only. a couple classified ads on the side. It supports me very well. I have a niche' in vehicle graphics. People love the detailed unusual ones. My 8ft table came from Menards. You probably have them up there. Menards started in Wisconsin area I believe. I just love that store. Great work from you and your wife. Sorry, I have permission to make the wizard, he was purchased from a graphic designer I know. It takes alot of memory in a cutter, to cut a design like that. I always cut things in no hurry. Mine was cut on a Graphtec. In probably about 15-20 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeeJaysPlace 476 Posted August 1, 2011 I only have the MH 721 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 1, 2011 I only have the MH 721 I started my business for 14 months with a 30" Seiki, cutting the same designs I do now. You need to find a niche'. Or some really great designs. My sales are mostly full side vehicle decals. 8-12 ft long. left and right. I do very little text. and all I do is vinyl.

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 1, 2011 I don't do shirts, or anything else like that. I just keep stepping up the niche' I have. I have thousands of designs, that I just keep switching around and see what sells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawman12 3 Posted August 30, 2011 Where can I find borders like that? I really like it. Great job by the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinylmotivations 143 Posted August 30, 2011 Looks like that was some original artwork by that shop Lawman.... Tho in vectoring the artwork it may have used a little more time cleaning up since most of the edges are very rounded and not refined including the text.... Would have been too much time to invest however. Great work!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
